We will NEVER buy Whirlpool again. This microwave stopped working just 8 MONTHS after purchasing it. We called Whirlpool and their customer service is AWFUL! We bought the microwave on sale for $217.55. Whirlpool dumped us in their "customer service" loop. First they couldn't find a service provider in my area and told us WE had to find a Whirlpool certified provider. LOL. Oh, and we'd be responsible for any service fee over $200 and they would mail the parts. That would require the service pro...

This is microwave is meh and is way too loud.
This microwave is meh. I had originally planned to purchase a different microwave of approximately the same price, but the one that I wanted was not in stock; I didn't want to wait an extra 10 days for delivery of the initial microwave, so I purchased this one because I wrongly thought that it would be of similar quality. As for microwave duties, it does fine: it nukes my food evenly, and the cooking time seems appropriate. However, this microwave has the LOUDEST AND MOST ANNOYING BEEPING EVER w...

Our Microwave passed on Thanksgiving day
Our Microwave passed on Thanksgiving Day while heating up some awesome mashed potatoes. Thankfully Black Friday Deals were in full force & we picked up this Microwave. It's currently serving the home well. Excellent appliance.

Over the Range Hood Light Bulb/Curbside Pickup
Here's a polished review based on your experience: I purchased the Whirlpool 1.7 cu. ft. Over-the-Range Microwave in Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel online and selected curbside pickup due to personal constraints. Unfortunately, the pickup experience was extremely frustrating and inconvenient. When I arrived at the designated curbside pickup area, there was no phone number posted on the signage and no clear instructions on how to notify Lowe's that I had arrived. Because I do not have th...

Over-the-range microwave
Decent microwave at a good price should’ve had it professionally installed had a slight hard time installing, but it’s up and it runs great.

Happy with my purchase
Had to replace our last microwave. I really appreciate the stainless steel color. It heats up food better than my old one. It is much lighter than the old one also. I don't really like the position of the under light. I also wonder about the quality because when I use it the inside of the door fogs up. Not sure if it's normal.

Instructions will have you cut the cord
The instructions tell you to cut the box for the wall mounting template. The microwave cord sits right behind the cut line. I cut the cord by following the instructions. I returned the product as damaged.
Failed in 18 months
Worked 18 months then door switches failed, replaced a switch that didn't open. Now it short cycles, it runs for 2 seconds and quits which suggests and electrical interlock disconnect. The switches are extremely cheap.
