With microwave ovens I have some experience. Over the past 10 years, I had at least 3 devices with which I simply could not cope, that I was not able to operate the device. The manuals were usually the extent of a medieval Bible, there were dozens of settings regarding microwave, grill or hot air. You could barbecue with the devices, bake, thaw, etc.etc. etc. But I was already happy if I heat in the situation somewhat. Now when I got the Whirlpoll 469WH microwave, I was skeptical! Probably again a high-tech device with such functions and settings that you are simply overworked as a user. Caveat: the microwave from Whirlpool has a dimension of 37.7 x 48.7 x 54.1 cm and is not small! You need therefore already fairly long space in the kitchen! Visually the Whirlpool Microwave is a real eye-catcher and can be seen only at second glance that it is a microwave at her. After I unpacked it and set up, I looked for the manual and was amazed that I did not meet here on a thumb-thick notebook with configuration options. Instead, a clear representation of all functions of the microwave on one side! It all looked so easy! And it is! The operation of the 469 WH Whirlpool microwave is simple and absolutely user friendly! I would not like lengthy list all functions of the microwave, but the feature that immediately appealed to me and sustainable enthusiastic: The 6th Sense Crisp function! This feature can be extremely food cook quick and easy! I had immediately the 6th Sense Crisp function immediately try with a frozen pizza. The pizza is placed on a supplied Crisp plate is then placed in the microwave. Simply press the function key menu at the operation area of the microwave and type specified in the operating instructions for frozen pizza function number on the wheel. Off you go! Within minutes, the pizza is thawed and baked! I was a bit skeptical, but the result satisfied me! The pizza was just great! Then I tried the 6th Sense steam function using the supplied steam cooking tray to frozen broccoli from! Again a top result! I have certainly tried so far only a fraction of the functions of the truly unique device, but I am more than satisfied! A real top device that I do not want to miss! A small note: the last 3 microwaves that I grew myself, I usually further away after a short time. That is absolutely not happen to me with the Whirlpool microwave!
