After researching many microwaves I finally decided to buy this one. My Sharp after 14 yrs bit the dust. I needed a special size unit that would fit where my other microwave was. I also needed a 1.6 cu ft with 1200 watts of power. This whirlpool fit perfect and has all the features I needed. Its easy to use, has a great bright blue display light which you don't need your glasses to read. Also the interior light comes on when you open the door which makes it easy to see how your food is and to clean the inside. Its also a very quiet unit when its on. I am so glad Whirlpool had this microwave and the size is perfect, my 3 qt casserole dishes fit with no problem with room to spare. The unit style is very nice to and I was able to get it in the color white which is hard to find these days. I would recommend this unit. I use it everyday several times a day. Thank you Whirlpool for making such a great product., keep up the good work.

This unit was purchased as part of my kitchen upgrade to new Whirlpool products in stainless-steel. The microwave is installed in-cabinet (using the matching Whirlpool trim-kit). Looks very nice. This microwave has the standard features that are found on most units today, and so just gets an average rating for features, design, etc. It's no quieter than the unit it replaced (an old 1996 non-Whirlpool unit). Additionally, the turntable is only 13.5" diameter (as opposed to the 16" in the old unit). This unit is advertised as 1.6 cu.ft. capacity, but it's nowhere near that big. Interior dimensions are only 14.5dx14.5wx9.25h, which is only 1.13 cu. ft. There are small "cutouts" in the interior top, back, and left side which add a little extra space, but that only bumps up the capacity to something less than 1.45 cu. ft. (I expected this unit to have about the same interior space as my old unit, which was indeed 1.6 cu. ft. capacity. The store where I bought the unit didn't have a display model to check out, so I relied on the info on the Whirlpool website.) Having said all that, it's plenty big enough for any cooking that I've done so far (and probably ever will do).

      Comments about Whirlpool 1.6 cu. ft. Stainless Steel Countertop Microwave:

      We have enjoyed the easy instructions and the ease of use. We would certainly recommend this model. We purchased the kit so that it would be installed in the cabinet. It was easy to install also. The overall look of the microwave with the trim kit is exactly the look I wanted. The instructions are simple and what I am looking for in the booklet has been easy to find.

          My wife and I went looking for a Whirlpool Microwave because of it's reliability and were pleasantly surprised with it's ease of use. We use it for defrosting a lot and found it very easy to use without burning the food!! It fits our microwave shelf perfectly and it looks great. I would recommend it to anyone, in fact my daughter went out and bought one also.

                          I think that this is a great looking microwave and I feel like it warms everything up faster than the last microwave that I used. The only complaint that I have is the fact that the plastic over the start button is somehow snagged already but that is a minor issue and you can't tell unless you are looking closely. This microwave is much quieter than the last one that I had too, which I love! No rattling either. I would buy this product again. It is definitely the better looking microwave out there especially for the price I paid for it.

                              As stated in other reviews, when cooking, the microwave is quiet and cooks evenly. The temperature is set well. IT matches the other stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. The sounds are very loud without a volume control. The clock is extremely bright. We had a problem with the first microwave we purchased after 6 months. The customer service was very helpful with getting a replacement.

                                      The only thing I would change would be the ease of opening the door. The one we had prior had a large area on bottom to push. With this one (because of nails, which most homemakers have) I have to use my knuckle or turn my hand to use my thumb horizontally. Otherwise, everything else about this microwave is great. I will always buy Whirlpool for price and long-lasting performance; have some that are 20+ years!
