Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is perfect for those that have a range hood, but would rather have an over the range microwave. The cabinet above my range was 18” tall which did not allow for an OTR microwave because the bottom would be too close to the cooktop. This OTR microwave was perfect because it’s only 10-1/4” tall. So after the install, I have 19-1/8” to the bottom of the microwave which is plenty of space. The install was easy. The mounting bracket also doubles as a template for the holes that need to be drilled into the cabinet. This is much easier and faster than trying to deal with paper templates that come with other OTR microwaves. The hardest part was adding an outlet for the microwave to plug into.....and that’s not really hard at all! The microwave is very quiet, but yet powerful. The 3 speed fan is also quiet and powerful. There is also an LED light that shines on the cooktop. This microwave is sleek in design, but very roomy on the inside. I can put a 6” tall bowl in it with no trouble. It has a feature that lets one turn off the turntable that will let one put a 13x9 dish in it with ease. I can not speak for it’s longevity as I have only had it for a few days. I am very happy I made this purchase.

Overall decent buying experience with best buy. However you could do without the mask police at the front door. The low profile whirlpool microwave we purchased works well for the space. Looks sleek a little pricey for a microwave but that seems to be the way with low profile. Has some cool features like the touch screen is like your phone you don't have to use pressure. To open you lightly touch and " bink" it pops open ...kinda cool ..heats food good and easy to dyi install!

This low profile whirlpool microwave is a must have for every kitchen. The sleek and modern low profile design, is the perfect appliance for any kitchen . It doesn’t take up a lot of space, is as powerful as a full sized microwave and allows enough clearance above the range so you can cook with ease, even when using taller pots on your stove . If your into minimalism, then this is the microwave for you . I selected the white low profile microwave, because I’m into the retro / classic kitchen design. I find that white appliances give a kitchen a clean, neat and welcoming kitchen vibe. The kitchen is said to be the heart of the home. So, it’s imperative that you select appliances that will enhance your cooking experience, while making lasting memories preparing meals for family and friends . #whirlpool low profile microwave- great buy with great features.

This is the best microwave I’ve ever owned. First the fan is wonderful. I forget to put it on and I will see so much steam and the fan takes it way so quickly. The microwave itself works wonderful always. The look is beautiful I get so many compliments. I renovated my kitchen and wanted a modern look. I’m going to do over another condo and will be buying this same microwave. It’s absolutely worth the money

Very unique product, as far as I know Whirlpool is the only manufacturer making the Low Profile over the range Microwaves. So much better having that distance between the stove top and the microwave! Better exhaust and easier to see what you are cooking. The old low hanging unit was covered in grease! I vented the unit directly out the back to the outside and the air flow is unbelievable! Very good removal of fumes and smoke from cooking! Very impressive looking unit too! The metal mounting bracket doubles as a template for all the holes making installation a breeze. Simply hold the bracket up against the bottom of the upper cabinet and mark the three holes for the two bolts and cord. Had the wife help me to hold it while getting the bolts started. Only confusing thing was finding the start button. It is labeled with an arrow and +30 seconds. Surprising all the manufacturers are not making these low profile units. This is a bit pricey but worth every penny, get it on sale as it goes often. Two LED lights (one inside and one lights your stove top) are bright, use very little power and should last forever. Great product!

The look is sleek but there is plenty of room inside Easy to manage the controls Frees up my countertop too

Out of the 4 matching black stainless Whirlpool kitchen appliances I purchased, this is my favorite of all! Low profile/sleek to fit in my small kitchen/cabinet space. It has freed up counter space in my small kitchen,( Hated giving up my Kenmore but, It was big) It also acts as my new hood with 2 brightness setting for the light & multiple fan speeds. It has gentle chimes & visual reminders “Welcome” & “Enjoy” when an item is finished. Multiple presets. It has modernized my kitchen!

Great fit awesome looks and performance.Easy installation . Best microwave I’ve ever had!

This microwave is fantastic. I got it because the door can be opened completely in spite of the wall I have to its left (the original LG I bought would not allow me to open the door all the way). It is powerful, not noisy, slick, modern, big enough, excellent vent system with 4 levels or speeds, etc. Would certainly buy it again and recommend it without hesitation.

Had my unit’s fan vented to the outside. The directions are not accurate as one panel is unable to be reversed as the directions indicate because there is no hole for the screw. Had to put tape on the panel to prevent the fan from bringing the exhaust back into the house. The corner of the door is very sharp and it has gotten a family member in the neck. The microwave works well. It is small in height but very good for reheating food. There aren’t many choices for low profile microwaves but this one does the job and looks nice.

Why has it taken decades for a microwave to be this size. The space between it and the stove is great. As for the microwave itself it’s fast to cook and quite. The fans while cooking also quiet. And the sensor reheat works beautifully.

Love this low profile microwave oven!!! We had a piece of absolute garbage LG black stainless steel before this. The black coating starting peeling and the plastic parts were cracking after only 2 years of use. Whirlpool has always been a good solid product and they were the only ones to offer this low profile microwave that had the option to have the vent set up for outside venting. We love it! We don't cook in our microwave, mostly just used for defrosting and warming things up. I was so tired of the huge microwaves that took up so much space. This one is so sleek and EXACTLY what I was looking for. We didn't install so I can't speak to the ease of that. I was concerned about how far it sticks out from the cabinets but that has actually not bothered me at all because it is so short. No handle so you don't have to worry about the handle breaking like on our previous oven. I would definitely recommend this if your looking for a low profile microwave.

I had been using a very basic countertop microwave, and I wanted something better. I also wanted to free up counter space. This (and a lesser one with fewer features) is the only over the range microwave that’s compact enough to avoid interfering with the view of the stove top. Yet it’s tall enough inside that virtually anything I could ever want to put in it will fit just fine. It also has a really powerful ventilation fan—so powerful that I rarely use more than the lowest speed to ventilate through my roof. It was relatively easy to install, although the installation instructions could use some work. Once I got used to setting it and then closing the door, I have found all of its features to be easy to use. Its lights are adequate to light the stove top on the higher setting; on the lower setting , they are adequate as a night light. My only complaint is that the electronic signal for the end of cooking or timing isn’t very loud. It is adjustable, and I have it turned up all the way, but it’s barely audible from anywhere other than in the kitchen. But otherwise, it’s a truly excellent appliance. I am very happy with it. I chose white to complement the “old farmhouse” appearance of my kitchen. I like that its appearance is very clean and uncluttered with visible controls.

Love it! The thinner looks sleek in our kitchen. My wife lives the extra space between the stove top and the bottom of microwave. Great choice.

I am amazed at this microwave. Love the functionality. The illumination of the light is just right; not too bright. The fan has multiple levels. the first being very loud, but clearing a room quickly of obtrusive smells. Like that you don't have a noticeable amount of buttons; they're hidden within the door. Heats quickly and food heated thoroughly.

It looks so sleek and fits perfect above the stove top. I love the extra room to cook and do not miss having a taller space for using the microwave. You don’t even miss it.

Looks really nice (Modern) and I love the way it opens. I was worried that it would be too small but I haven't had any problems using it. I also love the tone when the food its ready.

We are very impressed with this low profile microwave duo overhead vent from Whirlpool. The microwave is fantastic with all its features and warming/cooking functionality and the space capacity to fit food inside it. The sleekness of the design also was the icing on cake as it really saved us space and improved the look of our kitchen. PS - I bought this online with o en and the service BB provided was exceeded our expectations- they were top notch installation and their customer service of notifications was high service- they made sure to book appointment, availability for our needs and the mobile text notifications for appointment and arrival of tech was awesome - we never had to call them!

Love this microwave. Very high tech and super sleek. The open button is freaking awesome! Buttons are a little smaller and on the inside so gotta get use to that setup. Leaves plenty of space over stove.

I like how this gives me more wall space. The design is sleek, even the inside with a stainless steel color and a fun Diamond texture on the back wall. I like that you don’t have to yank on a handle to open this, you just push a touch button and the door opens. The only thing I don’t like is that the vent fan is really noisy. It was also difficult to install as the holes on the top of the microwave did not line up with the holes in the top cabinet from our previous whirlpool microwave. It does stick out further than our last microwave, but isn’t an issue so far
