A popular choice and for good reason, the spacious 1.8-cubic-foot Whirlpool GH5184XP over-the-range microwave oven is an excellent performer loaded with features above and beyond what you'd expect to find in this price range.

Featuring Whirlpool's AccuWave power system, this microwave oven provides the constant gentle microwave power of an inverter. This type of system encourages even cooking and is particularly adept at defrosting without cooking the edges.

Accurate cooking results are also ensured thanks to the sensor, which effortlessly programs the oven to prepare many foods for you. You'll get great results without entering a single cooking time -- regardless of food quantity or portion size.

Doubling as a ventilation hood, this model provides sufficient ventilation for most conventional ranges and cooktops. There are four fairly quiet fan settings from which to choose. A front-mounted standard light bulb is used to light the cooking surface.

Whirlpool offers this microwave oven in a full range of colors to complement any kitchen. Select stainless steel, black, white or biscuit.

Plenty of expensive microwave ovens are available with incredibly advanced features, but if you're looking for a fine mid-range unit with a solid feature package, you can't go wrong with the Whirlpool GH5184XP.


Pros: Solid value for over-the range unit, offers excellent defrost, AccuWave power system
Cons: Lacks advanced features of newer combination models
