For decades now, microwaves have continued to get bigger and bigger as the US Consumer demands a larger capacity. As the interior grows, the exterior grows with it. This presents a problem in the older homes in America, as a taller over-the-range microwave leads to less cooking space vertically. Many over the range microwaves are going into homes to replace older, 6-10” vented and unvented hoods. Whirlpool’s introduction of the low-profile microwave is the perfect solution for the customer with an older home and a short vent hood over their range! It can fit a 20 ounce coffee cup, a full size dinner plate, and is equipped with a 400 CFM vent fan as well as color-matched sides! Not only does it operate efficiently, but looks great and comes at a comparable price to normal over the range microwaves!
