This is the second one I have had. Hope it lasts longer than my other one. Had it only 5 years! It went out about 13 days after warranty ran out.

Button failure
Ya sure
7/10/2019
After only 1 year of use the start button completely stopped working. Every other button worked fine but if you can't run the thing that's not much good. Not sure if this had anything to do with the start button also being the "30 second " button or not.

My unit is actually the WMC50522AS1, which as another reviewer mentioned earlier, seems to be a product that Whirlpool claims they have no knowledge of. It must be a builder only product, but in my mind, it still has Whirlpool's name on it, amirite?
Had an online chat with a Whirlpool rep today:
~~~~~~~~~~~
00:01:37 Rep : When was your home closed on?
00:01:55 Jeff : March 2016
00:03:36 Rep : The countertop microwaves are something that are more cost effective to replace rather than repair. That may be why you seen limited details in regards to replacement parts.
00:04:02 Jeff : it's built in
00:04:30 Jeff : if 3 years is all that Whirlpool microwaves are good for, the replacement won't be Whirlpool
00:04:59 Rep : This is a countertop microwave. These have the ability to be inserted into a cabinet to give a custom built in look.
00:06:22 Jeff : and... are there parts for it?
00:06:56 Kassie : You are welcome to reach our parts team to see what parts are active for purchase.
~~~~~~~~~
Pretty pathetic. Summed up; we don't recognize the product you have as a Whirlpool product, despite our name being on it, and it's better to throw it away and buy another Whirlpool product to replace it.
Riiiiight...

Works good, heats up food fast, roomy
dannyb54
6/24/2019
Works as good as our previous version of this model. It is very roomy and at 1200W it heats up the food fast. The only issue we have (which didn't happen with our previous version of this model) is that about four times now it has lost power when closing the door. It immediately comes back on but we then have to reset the time. So it seems to have something loose inside.

I am very pleased with my purchased. I had to replace an installed unit that failed. This model fit perfectly, the trim kit was easy to install and this unit is a bit more powerful (1200 watts) which has made a big difference in warming and cooking things.

Hard to open
Jan retired
6/14/2019
Had it about a week, seems to do just fine with 2 exceptions - as I have seen in other reviews the door latch is very hard to push in to open the door. You have to hang on to the microwave with one hand while pushing the button to open the door with the other hand or you have to chase it all over the counter, hope it loosens up a bit. Other thing is that you can't silence the beep when it's done. Having a day sleeper in the house makes it a little irritating to have to try to catch it just before the end so you don't have to listen to the 5 beeps telling you it's done or waking someone up.

My old whirlpool microwave purchased in the mid 1980's still works. However the improvements are great. Works faster, probably more energy efficient. Only complaint is door opens stiffly and this model doesn't have preprogrammed recipies that i used on the old one. But the light works and i like the revolving tray and variety of warming options. Defrost works well.

We had to replace a built in unit over our oven that failed and was not repairable. The Whirpool was suggested to us. The price was great, it was easy to install, and it works very well. The extra 100 watts (we went from 1100 watt unit to this 1200 watt unit) does make a difference.

Purchased and installed less than a month ago. It does all those things we use microwaves for: reheating coffee or rewarming a cinnamon roll. But I like that it has a larger capacity and the rotating plate that my previous microwaves did not have. The preset time/temp buttons work very well. Heating frozen vegetables was perfect. It's easy to clean.
Mine is a tower mount above the oven and a drawer and below a cabinet. There were issues with installation of the trim kit but talented contractor figured out a solution.

Within 6 months 2 units failed. Settings are not intuitive and short cuts like at GE products for minutes settings are missing. It is loud compared to our old microwave and more difficult to clean. Customer service for repair is diffficult to deal with. Service technician (first crew)sent to our house were questionable. Second crew for replacement was pleasant.

This is my second unit. The first was almost impossible to use as the door wouldn't open and when I got it open it wouldn't close properly. This one works, but I frequently have to close it a second time and harder than I think should be necessary.

Our model is WMC50522AB which is essentially the same as this one. We bought it a little 2 years ago for a big kitchen upgrade that got put on hold so we just unboxed and installed it last month, it sat waiting for the cabinets to be built and goes above a Whirlpool electric oven.
We have used it about 3 dozen times since installing it and noticed the button to open the door seemed to have a lot of play in it. Then it quit opening, I heard some part come loose inside. I took it out of the built in cabinet, no fun and took off the cover and found the part inside that is between the push button on the front and the latch mechanism inside and it was loose. I reinstalled it but the fit of the part is very sloppy with too much play. I hoped it was just a freak occurrence and put everything back together and installed it in the cabinet and put the trim kit back on. It broke again in only a few days! Same problem, the part inside just fell out of the part that it sits and pivots in to unlatch the door.
Either the part is just defective or the other part that holds this piece in place but it is really inexcusable that an expensive appliance made by a major manufacture is so badly made or designed. I am trying to figure out a way I can more permanently put it in and keep it from every falling out again but based on this experience I will really not want to replace any appliance with a Whirlpool model!

Our very expensive KitchenAid (only 4 years old) crapped out and was, of course, out of warranty. We have a very specific sized space in which to place a microwave. This one is the less fancy version of the KitchenAid and works just as well for half the price. Doesn't match the other stainless appliances very well, but is okay given the $300 savings over the costlier, prettier and crappier KitchenAid version.

Sparks and catches fire!
Notimpressed19
3/12/2019
I was given this microwave as a present last year. Within the last month or so I noticed on the inside back wall of microwave was peeling. I did not think to watch what it did while cooking. My daughter came to me one day panicked saying "the microwave is on fire!" I immediately unplugged. A few days after I plugged back in to see what it was doing. I only left it plugged in long enough to see sparks. Just imagine what it had been doing weeks prior. To food, our health, and could have done to house had it caught completely on fire. I called Whirlpool... Since serial number shows purchased in 2016 but was gifted in 2018. They will let me buy another one from their site for $83. For $83 I can get a microwave up to $260. And informed me strongly that if I have not already to immediately stop using microwave. And it is definitely a safety concern of theirs. Needless to say I am very upset and unsatisfied with the outcome of the call.

I bought this microwave about 1 1/2 years ago, it had issues from the start! Since this was a replacement unit for another Whirlpool microwave that stopped working properly after 1 month, I just dealt with it. It has issues when closing the door - it gives and error every other time - and you have to open the door to reset it. Then it stopped making any beeping noises - when entering anything into it, or when it was finished cooking. Sadly I didn't call and get it replaced before the 1 year was up

This microwave was was originally purchased with the house. It had problems from the start. The clock would zero out for no apparent reason and the door was difficult to open. We felt these were design flaws and we raised this opinion when contacting whirlpool for refund. While discussing this with their refund and replace department, it was clear they preferred to replace the microwave rather that refund. While we felt this wouldn't resolve the problems, we agreed with the understanding that if we had the same problems with the replacement, the option to refund was still available. Well, we are having the same problems, so we called whirlpool again. Another 45 minute wait to talk to their refund and replace department and again they wanted to replace the unit. We told them we tried this already and we were seeking a refund. To which, they said, we had to provide a receipt for the original unit. This unit was bought in bulk by the builders, so no receipt is available to the home owners.

We are on our 4th microwave of this model. We moved into a brand new home 3/2018 and almost immediately experienced what others have noted about the zeroing of the clock, loud beeps, and door messaging. We had the unit replaced in April 2018 and by early June experienced the same problems. We had the unit replaced the end of June 2018. This unit actually lasted until 12/2018. This time though the unit stopped heating anything. It actually started "working" again but then started down the same path of the previous units. Additionally it began shutting off in the middle of cooking something. Because this was a builder installed unit and it was December, we had to wait until yesterday, 1/23/2019 to have a new unit installed. Within 24 hours we've now been experiencing all of the previously mentioned issues: loud, long beeps; shutting off while using; clock zeroing. My family is beyond frustrated but we are being held at the mercy of our builder and the fact that this was installed with a trim package and has a double oven below.

Worked great, for 18 months
nsane

I really liked the capacity, and the power of the unit. 18 months later, it's stopped working (magnetron). No parts are available. It's built-in, and these are smaller in heighth that competitors, so I can't reuse the trim kit. It's easy to replace a $300 microwave, but when you have to replace the trim kit too...
Or do you just buy a microwave that you know needs to be replaced every 18 months. Doesn't seem right.

We've had this unit for about 6 months and it works as expected. Very powerful unit and heats things up quickly. Only complaint so far is that the film covering the controls is already starting to bubble up (specifically over the "start" button) and we haven't used the microwave all that much.
