Whirlpool (WMC20005YW) 0.5-Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven Reviews

This is a compact, sleek and modern design. It resembles the countertop kitchen TVs that were popular once. It works great and holds a standard sized dinner plate (which you would not think it could). We love it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Sure, i could have bought FOUR 0.7cubic ft market flooded micros for the price of this one, but space saving and newest greatest technology lead me here. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This is my third one. 1st damaged in move. 2nd lost in move. Had to have another as I love this powerful little guy with small footprint. I use the 30 seconds option often and so pleased it now has a popcorn option. The defrost option is handy. It will fit a dinner plate. I am a 78 year old women and I unpackaged and set up on my counter with no problem. Would certainly purchase again. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

We recently did a full kitchen remodel and got rid of a large over-the-stove microwave, replaced by a convection steam oven. However, my husband wanted to be able to reheat a plate of food quickly, so I gave in to his microwave request, provided it would take up a minimum of counter space. This unit fit the bill perfectly. No local retailer seemed to carry it, but I did some on-line hunting and found an appliance store that could get it for us within a couple of weeks. It does what it needs to do and I would definitely recommend it where space is at a premium. (When people see it on the counter, they ask if it's a tv!)

Bought it when I renovated my kitchen. Needed a small microwave to fit in the corner of my countertop. Looks great! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Needed it for my freightliner cascadia fits in cabinet above fridge. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I've been using for about a month now. Compact size, enough power and fits a dinner size plate. Fits perfectly in the corner of my countertop. Very pleased. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I bought this microwave for several reasons, the most important being that, because of its round back, it would fit in the corner of my countertop. Yes, I paid more for it than others this size, but I regained a couple of square feet of counter space, space that is pretty nice to have on holidays when the entire clan is here! No other company makes a microwave in this configuration. It cooks as well as the 1,500 watt unit it replaced and the controls are intuitive. A large dinner plate fits the turntable. This was an important issue as well. Of course, "brand" is important. I trust two appliance manufacturers, and Whirlpool is one of them. I could not be happier with this little microwave.

I'd been looking for a quality microwave that didn't take up a lot of counter-space, but I wanted a name brand and a good-looking design, preferably in stainless steel (or close to it). Nothing I'd seen got me enthusiastic until I spied this Whirlpool model online - and with it's unique design, I snapped it up! A smaller, rectangular microwave would not have made much difference with my space issue (see photos), but the curved back of this one is just what I needed! Plus, the bottom part is elevated somewhat, so no more stooping over to peek in or place/remove plates from it.I was initially a little worried about changing from a 1100-watt microwave to a 700-watt, but I only use it for heating frozen meals and reheating leftovers, and actually like the wattage better as now I don't ever overcook anything :-) The space I have now on that counter is dreamy and I'm super-happy all around with this purchase!When I posted the photo on FaceBook, I got a ton of "likes" and questions about it from my friends :-)

We've had this now for several weeks and I just LOVE IT! It replaced a huge 1300 watt that sat above my stove on a shelf. I now how my little microwave on the counter where it should be. I have a very small kitchen and limited counter space and the size is just perfect. I was a little concerned that it might be too small but that hasn't been the case at all. Who needs a huge microwave anyway? Even the wattage difference is better. Our old microwave would explode everything unless you powered it down. And speaking of... this has a wonderful reheat feature. You hit the reheat button (automatically changes to 75% power) and then the start/30 second button as many times as you need. It's just so easy to use. We have done standard size popcorn in it (the bag doesn't start to turn right away on the turntable until it starts to pop and expand) and it came out beautifully. Does baked potatoes much better than our old one! Just 3 little beeps when it's done. Everyone who sees this microwave, loves the look of it. They sometimes think it's a TV set. Fantastic design! Thank you, Whirlpool!
