| Hopalong4's Full Review: Whirlpool GH7155XHS 1000 Watts Microwave Oven |
I recently moved into a new house. The best feature I like is the over the range microwave. I like it because it is convenient to heat things while cooking. I like to nuke my canned veggies. So I can be cooking my meal and just toss the bowl of veggies in. I don't have to walk across the kitchen to do it. I just reach up and voila.
This microwave has many features.
1.It has a add a minute key. So instead of typing in how long you want to cook something for you just hit the add a minute key until you have the time you want. The microwave will then automatically start.
2. There is a popcorn key that will cook a bag of popcorn just right.
3. There is a warm hold key to keep things warm for you.
4. There is a key to warm a dinner plate.
5. It has 10 power levels.
6. It has cook and defrost.
8. It has a light and a night light to illuminate the kitchen area at night.
9. Built in fan.
This product does have a few flaws. The fan does not vent to the outside it just takes the heat away from the stove. So if you are cooking a greasy meal look out you will inhale fumes. Also when I use all 4 burners of my stove at the same time the microwave automatically starts up and will not shut off until you unplug it. I have called whirlpool and they say this happens because of overheating.
If I were to move and needed a new microwave I probably would buy this one again as I like the convenience of it. If you have a small kitchen this product is ideal for you as it won't take up valuable counter space.
According to the label on the inside this microwave was purchased in 1996. I use it on a daily basis and it still performs like brand new. So I would say it is standing up well over time.
Cleaning the inside is fairly easy the outside is not as easy. Grease builds up very easily. The vents tend to fill up with grease quickly and get clogged. The metal screens need to be pulled out and washed on a regular basis. So it can be time consuming to keep it clean. If you are looking for a quick clean this product is not for you.
If you are looking for a new microwave check out the over the range models you can't go wrong.
