Product review (1 stars): Crappiest microwave in a wall combo unit in history!!
I am hunting to replace this unit. have owned micro/oven combo on trial here for 5 yrs. - oven works pretty well and pretty blue interior.. but huge disappointment with microwave. I can boil a cup water faster on the stove. The unit would never pop microwave popcorn correctly and would go from no real excitement to just burning.. skipped pop step altogether... I know about wattage, and I am a man of more than one use for a magnetron. That being said, note: Never could find the wattage rating for the microwave portion of this combo..not on any of the door placards and not in the pdf. download.. probably such a low wattage they were embarrassed to print it. Shame on you Whirlpool! Anyway.. the microwave has gone out and to investigate it being a circuit board problem it will be $585 for the part and install.. if it is a secondary board (oven control unit) communication. prob. and they have to replace both boards then $850 for parts and install and that is no grantee the magnetron in the micro will work any better. So I look at $585- $850 as money I will have to spend anyway so I can look at that as a big chunk off of something new. Going to get a 30" wall oven single unit, build a shelf over it, put stand alone micro on shelf. also single, non- combo wall oven is much lower cost to begin with.  "Oh look, I can microwave and convection bake at the same time!" I mean- what kind kind of wingnut would need to-- also what food would require those conditions? Gramma's lime jello with spam mold..Oh, I know, prefrozen, turducken that was left over and frozen again? or maybe that's the method for trying to save the insanely stupid top of a freezer-burnt wedding cake that will be just as freezer-burnt as the marriage after one year! Hahahah! LOL!!! and like the title.. Crappiest microwave in a wall combo unit in history!! DON'T DO IT! Would not recommend to an enemy even!
