Replacement of 2006 Whirlpool Microwave

"This is the updated version of the model purchased in 2006 which has given excellent service. Its OK, looks very nice and sleek but unfortunately, the mounting method has been changed (no doubt to reduce cost) to two flimsy brackets riveted on either side of the body. The left one (door hinge side) was not fitted correctly so the only way it could be mounted was to release it from the top rivet (very easily done I might add) and mount using the bottom screw only. Also, this new version does not have a stainless steel surround like the old model. this is fine if the microwave is being mounted flush (with adjoining units / cupboard doors either side) but as in this case, is mounted on the end of a run of units without an end panel making the door hinge and bracket on clear view. The whole front panel is now the door which adds another 100mm to the door when opened, and in a galley kitchen, it's not ideal either. yet another product cheapened off, I would have much preferred to have paid a bit more and had the same quality mounting system as 12 years ago. These are only observations which I suppose highlights the downside of buying online. Too much hassle to return it now."

Good Product so far

"I bought this microwave oven (Whirlpool AMW423/1X) as it was one of the few that had the correct dimensions for the built in space I had and offered the largest internal volume (22L) for those dimensions. It seems to work ok and looks fine. Easy enough to use with quick start function. My only issue is that it's max power is only 750W"

Can't live without the micro!

"We're a busy household and everyone wants to eat at different times. So we were stumped when the microwave went pop. I'm not cooking separate meals for everyone, so it's an essential for us! AO were great, the new microwave is easy to use and everyone's happy. Cheerful fitter, no mess, thanks!"

Excellent product

"Replaced the old item exactly and looks really smart. The access door is very large and takes some getting use to but otherwise a very good product."
