What's great about it: Huge and fast
What's not so great: Huge
I was a little concerned about the look of the microwave but it looks really nice now that it is in. But it is huge, both inside and out. It sticks out considerably from my cabinets. The build quality seems excellent as the thing weighs a ton.
I really like the auto sensor cook feature for the microwave, just wished it had the same option for the convection. The convection works as advertised and you can even cook in dual mode, convection with up to 30% microwave power to speed things up.
The only think I don't like about it is the metal rack it comes with. Instead of hanging the rack from hooks on the wall it just sits on the glass turntable. It works but it just seems a little cheap. I tend to store it in the microwave as the feet make it tall and hard to store elsewhere.
Overall, great microwave/convection oven! Would buy again.
This product is or has... Sensor cooking that works well, A turntable that cooks evenly, The power to cook quickly!, A vent system over range, Big enough to handle large items
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: halogen, design, touch display
What's not so great: it is pricey, but worth it if you use it.
I really do love this microwave, it has the halogen feature which is so awesome. It is a bit loud when you use the halogen/convection feature, but it is what it is. This is worth its price. I had originally bought the 700.00 microwave and then saw this one, my wife was eager to get a halogen microwave and after seeing this one, which is way more robust and looks outstanding compared to the lesser models, I was excited and switched. It is big and spacious inside with all the bells and whistles you would expect.
This product is or has... Shortcut keys that save time, Sensor cooking that works well, A turntable that cooks evenly, The power to cook quickly!, A vent system over range, Big enough to handle large items
About me... Brand conscious, All about design, wanted the halogen feature
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's not so great: For a top end Microwave it is AWFUL
Purchased this microwave in May of 2010. It worked good for 4 months. has not worked since. Whirlpool has been out 4 times to fix it with no results. They said it was deemed unfixable. Trying to get Whirlpool to help me is almost impossibel. They say they will call back in 24 to 48 hours never happens. Calling the service center of whirlpool is useless. Ask for a supervisior and they say they do not want to talk to you. BEWARE
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Everyting
What's not so great: Not sure yet
It melts butter perfect on the melting selection. I have only had this installed since mid January, 08. If i used to put sometjhing on 1 min before then put it on 30 seconds now. (depending on microwave.) I haVe not used the convection yet. I will say shop around. the amount you save on your bestbuy bucks (reward zone) may or may NOT equal the savings you can get from a different appliance store.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Cooks perfect, grills, bakes, roasts, does it all easily
What's not so great: none
This is the abosolute best microwave. I bought without seeing it in person just on the website. I loved its look and was attracted by some of the smaller features such as keep warm and soften. When I got it today and used it to cook some bacon I was floored to see it had a setting and came with a browning pan to cook it in. It asked how many pieces and even lets you choose how done you want it. That was the most perfectly cooked bacon I have ever had. Once I started looking at its features I was blown away at what it will do and how easy the control panel is to operate. Every kitchen should have one of these. This appliance will make me a fabulous cook. How cool is this!
I would recommend this to a friend!
