Whirlpool WMC20005YW 0.5 Cu. Ft. White Countertop Microwave

We needed a small microwave when we moved into a small condo with very little counter space. Most of the reviews said this was the perfect solution and it is. It takes up very little room, plus it fits easily into a corner. It has a rotating glass tray that holds a standard size dinner plate. It's tall enough to fit a 16 ounce mug with room to spare, but it is shorter than many standard microwaves. It has digital controls that are very simple but work just fine. We're older and actually really appreciate that simplicity. Some things take longer to cook but not by much. If you want all the bells and whistles and to be able to zap things quickly, this is not the microwave for you. On the other hand, if you need a smaller microwave that is easy to use and very sturdy I definitely recommend this one. We love it!

I recently moved into a house with a super small kitchen. The only spot for our old beast of a microwave was on top of the refrigerator, but I was afraid of dumping hot liquids on my face as I pulled them out. I looked for other options and found this little gem. It's really meant to live in a corner and that's where we've put ours. The rounded back makes it fit nice and snug in the corner and allows the microwave to have a roomy interior and not eat up the entire corner. I've put a glass pie plate in with no problem. We use Corelle dinnerware and the large dinner plates leave room to spare. The power level and cooking times are as expected. I've used a microwave of this wattage before. It doesn't heat as fast as our old beast, but it works just fine. Boils a mug of water in 2:30. Very quiet and easy to operate. Unique look to it. People think it's a little tv. Overall, I love it!

I want to start by saying I have been a faithful Whirlpool customer for a long time. I have found their products reliable and economical. BUT I am now working on my third unit of this model...I should have my head examined for not returning for a refund. First unit did not appear to heat at full power but did not notice until after I had thrown away the box. Ordered a second unit intending to ship the first unit back in the second unit's box. Pulled out the second unit and packed up the first unit in its box. Plugged in the second unit and it was totally dead! Unpacked the first unit and packed up the second unit and sent it back. The first unit has a new issue where it the light comes on and the turntable rotates when the door is closed (but does not microwave) so I leave the door cracked open. Now working with Whirlpool customer service to get a third unit. They said it would be up to two weeks before they would have a replacement unit that their tech would install. Well its been a month and I have heard nothing. I would give this a minus-5 star if I could! AVOID AVOID AVOID

I bought this little microwave 2-1/2 years ago. Predominantly, I use it to heat up my dog's food: 12 seconds in the morning and 12 seconds at night. However, the microwave time units are 30 seconds, so I stand in front of it until it counts down from 30 to 18 (30-18=12!), then whip the door open. I've also used it to microwave riced cauliflower. Since it's only 750 watts, it takes nearly twice as long as the recipes suggest. It's a bit light in the body, so when I open the door the force of it sometimes pulls the oven out of its position on the counter top (don't worry - I'm talking a couple of inches, not a couple of feet here). The deck of the oven is higher compared to most other microwave ovens, so I've managed to nick the heck out of the glass turntable by misjudging the height and smashing containers against it. So why four stars? Because it's TINY and CUTE - like a puppy! It uses minimal counter space. It looks fabulous. It works steadily, day in and day out. Though slower than a larger microwave, it does heat the food I've prepared in it evenly. And it can make microwave popcorn without scorching and without leaving behind an inordinate amount of unpopped kernels. If you cook five course meals in your microwave, this oven isn't for you. If waiting one extra minute to reheat your coffee would cause you agony, this oven isn't for you. Though I don't love this oven with all of my heart and soul, when it goes to appliance Heaven I shall happily purchase another.

We purchased this for our son when he moved in to his current apartment. Counter space is limited - this unit fits neatly into the corner on the counter and indeed does economize on space. Even though the size of the items/dishes that go into the unit may have to be smaller, it looks and works great - perfect for a single person or a couple!!

Such a great package, it fits well under my cabinets and leaves lots of room. The curved back allows it to be tucked in the corner. One of the impressive features is the defrost feature that works so well! Everyone that visit's us loves the design and want to buy one. Only downside its it's expensive for what it is. I guess you pay for the space saving.

Just the right size. I keep it in a cupboard. Just used for reheating, defrosting and popcorn. Holds a regular size dinner plate.

3 stars just because it arrived dented on left side wall. Other than that it fine!
