Whirlpool 0.7 Cubic Foot Microwave MT4078SP

Date Published: 1/23/07

The Whirlpool 0.7 Cubic Foot Microwave MT4078SP may be small, but it doesn't skimp on quality.

Solidly built, this unit may cost a bit more than some other models, but it makes a good choice for a small kitchen -- especially if you plan on doing some serious cooking. With programmed cooking cycles, an excellent defrost system and a full 10 power levels, the MT4078SP gives you enough features to do far more than just reheat leftovers. A removable glass turntable ensures even and thorough cooking every time and success for a wide variety of dishes.

The cook in your home will likely appreciate that this model doesn't take up all the counter space. In fact, if installed with the included under-cabinet mounting kit, the MT4078SP takes up no counter space at all.

Whirlpool offers Braille overlays, large print manuals and audio tapes on request for blind and low-vision consumers who select this model. Available in black or white, the versatile MT4078SP lacks only a sensor, which is increasingly difficult to find on a compact model, especially one in the less-than-$100 category.


Pros: Solid build, high quality electronic controls, under counter kit included
Cons: Lacks sensor, costs more than the off-brand models
