Great compact size and attractive shape!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this but weren't sure whether we were going to need it. We wanted to see how the sliver would look and where in our kitchen we could put it. We loved the shape and the color. The front portion looks almost like stainless steel, the rounded back portion is more of a grey. We decided not to go for a countertop model but this one was adequate size for heating dinner plates, bowls of soup, pizza slices or just a cup of coffee.

Great Corner Countertop Microwave
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for us! Our old over the range microwave die. We replaced it with a Whirlpool range hood. This unit is awesome for us since we eat leftovers, and this little unit does the job.

Perfect size
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a perfect size for a limited countertop space. I bought this a month ago and am happy with it. I read other reviews that said the power cord was black, so I was concerned if it would work for us. However, the power cord is white, which is very nice.

Less really is more!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave has exceeded my expectations in every way. First of all, I reclaimed much needed counter space in my galley kitchen. Then this little tiger fits my dinner plates perfectly. Pizza reheats are no problem. If that weren't enough the control buttons are so simple I can't believe how easy it is. My neighbor ordered one right after seeing she saw mine! This is truly a case of 'less is more'!

Fantastic Microwave
Been using this model for 10 yrs. Never had a problem with it, but it was time to replace it because inside was peeling. Was very lucky that it is still available. I have very limited space and this items is perfect for me. Former model was black and silver. Now I have all black. It is shiny and looks fantastic.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this Exact model 8 years ago and loved the small footprint and Especially the controls on the bottom that allow for clearance on the counter when you’ve just removed a dish!

Little Giant among Countertop Microwaves!
We purchased this unique microwave (model WMC20005YW-0) over 10 years ago for a kitchen countertop corner, having dumped our over-the-stove microwave in favor of a dedicated hood. This model was exactly what we needed at a reasonable price.
We've have since moved and had it placed inside of a kitchen cabinet, convenient but hidden. It has worked flawlessly until now…the turntable has stopped rotating…hoping to have it fixed. One incredible little machine!
Kudos to Whirlpool!

Minimal counterspace - reliable and attractive
We bought this in 2015 and it worked AWESOME for 9 years... Isn't very tall inside, but fits a standard plate perfectly and a "grande" size Starbucks cup just fits as far as height. Fits in a corner of our kitchen, out of the way and does the job reliably. Easy to use controls. Definitely recommend.

Very Convenient!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 2 of these, one for an RV and one for a small house. I had to have one replaced because it was not heating properly. It was replaced by the seller very easily. They delivered the new one and took the old. The new one and my other old one work just fine. I love that I can put them at an angle in a corner. The oven is not huge, but it is fine for average, not extra large dishes, bowls, etc. I learned about these from my daughter, who is a truck driver, and uses one in her truck. I do like the optional 30 second increments for the heat time.

The Truth?
I don't have any lights in my house. Only one extension cord from my neighbors with one plug outlet. So you could imagine my surprise when my only light source (the bulb in the microwave) went out. I don't know what I will do. Now, at night, I can't watch my food cook. Maybe it will save me from getting too close to the microwave when it is on, which I hear is a bad thing.
I don't have any wax paper either. If memory serves me correctly, that wax is made from petrol products. I don't care who on the internet says it is a good idea, it is not. Let's just heat up glass and ceramic and food in the microwave. I don't think putting thin paper with a petroleum coating on it, in a microwave, is good for anyone!
And that cord! I have all the cords in my house matching. The microwave came with a white cord, so, since I only have the one extension cord, I had to find a white one to match. Sweeeet, it looks soooo good!

Works nicely, looks good
The microwave works well so far and the space saving feature is true to form—it takes up less counter space than the other compact one we used. The customer service with PC Richard was great and they were in communication often about the quick delivery.

Compact size with simple functionalities
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wanted a very small footprint on countertop to use for quick coffee heating and food cooking. We have currently a built-in drawer microwave and it requires several tasks to open/close drawer and timer to heat a small plate/coffee mug in a large, unnecessary cook space. The functions are straightforward and easy to operate. Very satisfied with this product.

corner-friendly microwave
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm on my third one (they seem to last about five years) of this corner-friendly, space-saving microwave and hope you never stop making it! A game-changer for those of us with limited counter space.

Simple,small and Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This simple and small up to date microwave is perfect for a small kitchen! This microwave can fit in the smallest area of a kitchen countertop or on top of the refrigerator! You can do everything that a large microwave can do!
For a retired couple , a single person living in a studio or a newly married couple in a small apartment this is great!
This fits well also in a tiny house or garage unit work area also!
This microwave can really work anywhere you can think of . It’s the perfection of tiny but great engineering of thinking out of the box to help everyone that don’t have a large kitchen/living area!

Perfect size for my small kitchen!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is actually my second microwave purchase of this model. The first one lasted 7+ years before it starting acting up. I considered other sizes, but the round back makes this model fit perfectly in the corner of my kitchen.
What I like:
- simple to use: just one extra button for popcorn (which gets used a lot in our house)
- fits a dinner plate
- has a rotating turntable that is easy to remove and clean
- has an interior light to see what's cooking
- easy to clean
What could be improved:
- I REALLY wish the front face of the door (black outline) was more MATTE finish like the bottom panel where the buttons are because the shiny black shows EVERY fingerprint, and I am wiping it down many times a day; or my true preference would be to make the entire front a brushed silver finish to match the sides--I chose silver--and that would alleviate the fingerprints.
- I wish there was a way to either mute the beeps or choose low/high volume
- for such a simple microwave with very few features I think it is quite expensive
I found that by placing the microwave on top of a silicone mat it is much steadier when opening the door--the microwave does not move. All in all I recommend this microwave; perhaps Whirlpool will listen to my suggestions. ;-)

A Unique Microwave
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This model puts the electronics under the turntable rather than next to it. This saves counter space. The round back works well for corner placement. Why does Whirlpool not promote this unique design?

Pricey But The Best Microwave Ever
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Can you get a cheaper micro? Yes. Is it tiny? Not really. Does it heat food very evenly and quickly? Yes! Popcorn button is on point with the timing. Less buttons than all the wasteful extras on usual microwaves. Very pleased so far.

How long does the popcorn setting run? Can I simply press that for a quick reheat of coffee? Missing the simple dials!
I usually just push popcorn twice for the regular sized bag. One cycle doesn’t pop the corn completely.

I know it’s small, but can you pop a bag of popcorn in it? Toa
It’s not as small as it looks. Standard dinner plates fit fine and so do most of our Pyrex containers, even the large ones. Over all, we use it regularly and the size has never been an issue.
