MT4155SPQ %2D Microwave Countertop %2D White

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! EvVive and Whirlpool are evil. On Nov 12, 2011 I purchased the Whirlpool microwave (model MT4155), based upon rave reviews by Consumer Reports. It arrived without problem, the box from Amazon (and the internal one from Whirlpool) in pristine condition. HOWEVER, despite only ever using the microwave for reheating coffee and boiling water (i.e. steaming vegetables in glass dishes), a crack appeared in the paint on interior back wall of the appliance. By April, the back of the microwave was deformed, with the back side, popped out like a big tumor. July 1st I called Whirlpool to report the problem; a service repair guy came out the next day (from a contracted-with-Whirlpool-company) and said it was a dysfunction that was not repairable, and no fault of mine ("no signs of abuse"); he told me to call Whirlpool in 3 business days to find out what's next.

I purchased this microwave in November 2011. The unit works fine but the light bulb went out after two months. You may think this is not such a big problem but is because the bulb is a special type (not covered by warranty)and it costs about $25 if you can find one and requires a major dissasembly to replace it.

The MT4155SPQ is an excellent machine I'd recommend anyone needing a new midsize one for your kitchen. Yes, you can get more features in say a Whirlpool Gold or KitchenAid one and of course pay more money for them, but for different things like reheating your leftovers, nuking a cup of joe or even doing a frozen lasagna entree, this is the right machine to have on hand. The power levels are changeable and the sensor cooking feature also speeds up cook time and the large and dishwashable turntable is easily removable.

I like the fact that if I wanted to install it in a 24, 27 or 30 inch cabinet in a wall, there are trim kits available to give it a nice finished look. But I especially like the Jet Start feature that allows you to add time during the cycle if I didn't enter in enough time it up properly (I'm a guy and I can't boil water without having problems). I got this back in August 2008 and have never had a problem with it. I'm buying one for my mom this Christmas...Read more
