What Customers Are Saying

The microwave has a mixed reception. Many customers are satisfied with its features, power, and performance, praising its design, functions, and interior size. However, a significant number have experienced issues with the door latch and opening mechanism, with the latch breaking or becoming unreliable after a short period of use. Some also found the two-step door opening process inconvenient. While the heating capabilities and ease of use are generally praised, the recurring door-related problems have led to disappointment in the product's quality and durability.

This microwave was not up to the standard of other Whirlpool products. After a year, I started having trouble getting the door to open. When I called Whirlpool they said it couldn't be fixed. The light has also gone out. I purchased it 0n 1-25-2025 and had it installed as a built in to replace a GE. The total cost iwth trim & installation was $816.77 and now I have to replace it.

Not Safe with young children.

While the have a 2-step 'safety' unlock feature, they left out the standard child safety lock. So my child may not be able to open when i am cooking, but they can open it when it is not in use, throw forks inside and and create a big problem. This is a gross oversight.

Learning Curve

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installed about a week ago and it works great. Still learning about power levels and reheat options. Burnt some sausage and cabbage I reheated last evening. Just a learning curve issue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was purchased to replace a microwave that had rusted out. It was not a Whirlpool. I really like the features of my new Whirlpool microwave. Easy to use and.it is used just about every day. So glad we bought this product Whirlpool is a name to trust for good products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The main complaint is the child “stop” mechanism before the door will open (I have disabled it). The door wouldn’t open without lifting the door (with a dinner knife) a 16th of an inch by the 2nd month of use. It did take twice of disabling the lock button for it to remain off.

Whirlpool Microwave Stands the Test of Time

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We decided to replace our 26 year old Whirlpool microwave before it failed and chose the larger 2.2 cu. Ft one. It’s just great, big enough to do anything we can imagine for heating or cooking.Whirlpool has always been our preferred appliance brand , they last for years and the performance is second to none.

Great Option

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to setup and use. If you have a built in be sure to purchase the trim kit with it. The trim kits are not universal.

In cabinet microwave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The only concern is the push button to open. It is very tricky and does not open easily.

Crappy door latch

Would Not Recommend

Worked well until door latch broke the day before Thanksgiving. New home install. Not sure actual warranty period, but anyone forgetting the 2-step door opening sequence, pushing on the latch, seems to gradually weaken and break the mechanism!

Good microwave

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this when my previous microwave broke. This is same size (able to handle bigger plates and casserole dishes) and power (heats quickly). It is easy to operate and looks good although with almost all black glass fingerprints do stand out.

Complicated without numbers on the keypad.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought 3 months ago. The size is nice and big. Looks very nice. The door opener does not work most of the time, it needs improvement in design. It’s complicated to use without numbers on the keypad. I really like the sensor cooking.
