Lowes Experiance Couldn't Be Worse
When I went to buy a microwave, I went to the store and bought it, but when I installed it, I found it was the wrong size. No problem, right? but when I went to return it and buy the right one, they gave me the wrong microwave in return. They had two microwaves in stock, and somehow they managed to gave me the wrong one. I spent half an hour fighting with the unusable AI assistant (If you can call it an assistant) on the phone trying to get a replacement, but it decided that I needed to give it ...

Installation Nightmare
BEWARE!!! Do not use the template on the side of the shipping box for measuring screw holes in cabinet. THEY ARE OFF BY THE SQUINT OF AN OVAL EYE. Measure twice then drill one hole and see if your screw will line up correctly. This means you'll have to take the oven back down to measure and drill the second hole but it could be a lot better than having a chewed up cabinet with a dozen holes in it. If you're replacing an old unit, you'll already have holes that most likely will not work for ...

Great Value When on Sale
This microwave installs easily, looks good, and works well. We've had no issues with it. The fan and light functions work well, and the fan goes on automatically when it senses the need. Overall, a good purchase at a great price.

Lowes may charge a higher price given market power
Sales and installation service were good!! There are two reasons I could not rate it higher!!! Cost of installation and time between purchase and installation. For our local store there appears to be only one company Lowes has subcontracted with. Lowes is taking advantage of customers because most people could not install without help!!! Our installer was very knowledgeable and efficient and completed installation in 30-45 minutes. So the total transaction costs cover each businesses’ costs and...

Perfectly functional, but loud
The microwave works just fine, no problem. But it is loud: The motor, the door, the beeps... all louder than my old one. And the beeps don't stop when you open the door; it has to finish its required 5 tones. But it works great....

Needed microwave immediately!
Our previous microwave stopped working. We went to our local Lowe’s. We were helped immediately in the appliance center. The store assistant took her time working with us and got all questions answered! Needed this immediately and found this to fit the bill.

Nice and bright inside.
I like my new whirlpool microwave, HOWEVER, a tall man must have designed it because at 5 ft 2 even if I stand on my tiptoes I cannot see the turntable. My previous whirlpool, the same type was 15 years old when I had to replace it last week. I continue to struggle cooking things because I cannot see what is going on unless I use a step stool. I am 78 years old so should not be having one of those things kicking around in the kitchen getting in my way. Doesn't anybody check these kind of applian...

We ordered this microwave as part of a package from Lowes and it was delivered in August 2025. The microwave has never worked. Whirlpool customer service has been terrible. Because the appliance has a repair warranty and not a replacement warranty they continue to send out repair people to replace parts in what appears to be an unrepairable appliance. The last time I called, the representative offered to place the order if I wanted to purchase a replacement. Why would I purchase a replacement fr...

This is a nice looking microwave and easy to use
This microwave used the same mounting bracket as the original Maytag unit. This made for a quicker and easier installation.

Adequate
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When our nice GE microwave finally gave out, we went cheap and regret it some. But, this microwave does all the basic functions and it's just a matter of of us getting used to it. It was a deal and we took it knowing it didn't have as many features and options as the GE. It only has two options on most features instead of 3 like we were used to but, again, you get what you pay for and this is a great deal for a microwave. We'll see how well ...
