Roomy Microwave, Quirky Control Panel

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with the microwave. Plenty of room and power. The control panel took a little getting used to, but if you can do first grade math, you can adjust to it.

It's a great countertop microwave!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a nice countertop microwave. We mostly use it to heat up leftovers so I can't speak how it would bake a cake or anything. It seems there is a trend to not have a microwave above the stove these days, and this one just sits on the counter top. It works great and I'm happy with it!

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] other than the door button not wanting to open it's been great. Sometime u have to push it 100 times sometimes I can push it one time and it will open. Most of the time u have to push it really hard for the door to open

Great Features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my whirlpool microwave. The bulb to light the interior went out after a couple of months use. They do not make replacement bulbs so they replaced the whole microwave which seems wasteful.
