Whirlpool WMC20005YW Countertop Microwave, 0.5 Cu. Ft., White

I wanted a microwave that wouldn't take up too much space. It fits into the corner of our counter well and frees up more room that our other microwave gobbled up. Lower power but smaller space to heat, so it works just as well. It is taller than most because the mechanical and heating parts are all underneath. But not enough to warrant taking away a star. One quibble is that the dish does not sit as flush to the bottom of the heating area. I have hit mugs on the dish when placing them inside. Also the height of the heating area is small. Still can fit a tall mug or a casserole dish with lid. I have been pleased so far. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I bought this two years ago. Great space saving design.I've never needed to microwave anything that's too big to fit in it.Less powerful than others (heats slower) but that trade off is worth it to me for the space savings and good design.Beeping sound is a less pleasant than it could be.The button design is pretty good - I don't miss having a dial or number pad to set the cooking time.Biggest problem is that the plastic covering the buttons is wearing off - which makes it look pretty bad. I've not particularly rough with it, and not a very frequent user, so this is definitely a design or manufacturing flaw.
