Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Adequate Microwave

Microwave 2/28/2026

A bit overpriced for what you get. Operating instructions not really clear. Difficult to set specific time.

Great size

Peggy 2/27/2026

Microwave is great- but I do not like the feature where you have to push stop to open the microwave door. I also wish it had a few more features. Using defrost and reheat is confusing.

Heats evenly

gwena909_5522 1/19/2026

I really like how this Whirlpool microwave heats food evenly and takes the guesswork out of timing with its sensor cooking ™" it™™s convenient for everyday meals and fits nicely on my counter. The size is great, and the controls are simple once you get used to them. That said, I™™ve noticed the buttons and panel don™™t feel super high™end, and I™™ve read that some people worry about long™term durability, so I™™m hoping mine lasts a long time

Effective Useful and Sleek Microwave

vanv10_3176 12/12/2025

Newer functions, with a sleek and modern design. The color scheme matches my house design and elevated the mood with its contemporary style. It™™s not too much but it can still hold and heat up big foods. The materials don™™t feel and look cheap either, making my entire kitchen look much better.

Microwave microwave microwave!

annaz92_767 11/22/2025

This is a great microwave! It has a lot of options for cooking. It heats very fast. I love how the microwave has a flat front with no handle. It makes it more sleek and less noticeable. It was kind of hard to find in the store tho

Loving the sensor cooking!

cherylz3_9484 11/20/2025

I™™m a bit upset my coupon code didn™™t work and I had to pay full price for this but I needed a microwave so here it is! The sensor cooking works great! I™™ve tried it a couple times with a couple different things and it has been perfect every time. I™™m still getting used to the other controls. Defrost works good. Seems like it™™ll be easy to clean. The size of the microwave is good, it fits on my countertop perfectly. Other than my coupon code not working I really have no complaints.

Awesome kitchen edition

samanthaa692_1272 11/15/2025

I love this microwave! It™™s a bit hard to figure out all the setting initially but most are on the inside rim of the microwave itself so you don™™t have to refer back to the manual every time you need to reheat a meal. It is extremely spacious so if you plan to buy make sure you have adequate counter space. 10/10

Substandard countertop microwave

DH17202 11/8/2025

Very poor quality. First one failed in 25 days. Warranty replacement process is onerous. Second unit has defective bottom plate which needs a shim to stand level.
