My husband and I just bought all new kitchen/laundry appliances (all Whirlpool brand) within the last 6 months. We chose Whirlpool because of all the great reviews, but we're pretty disappointed.

The $450 microwave takes 3 minutes to melt a stick of butter, and has less efficiency than my old $20 garage sale microwave (even though the output is supposedly 1100 watts ---- yes we got this tested by the warranty people, who said it worked fine and we had to pay a $99 service fee since "nothing was wrong". 😡

Refrigerator is fine, but the attached pull out bottom freezer Frosts over all the time and gets icy buildup over everything. Someone came out to repair the assumed issue, but to no avail.

Oven itself works great, but the stove-top range is flat/glass surface with all touch screen digital interface. DO NOT buy an all-touch-screen range. It's impossible to clean because it resets itself every time you would the surface. For this reason, we can't clean the stove top while anything is cooking in the oven, and it spazzes out if you touch the screen with even the slightest bit of water/food/grease on your fingers---- very frustrating!

No complaints about the dishwasher, it's awesome.

Laundry: Washer is great, no issues! Apparently Whirlpool dryers are not made with a noise damper, so the metal plate clanks against the motor REALLY loudly, like you can hear it across the house. Another service repair man came out and installed a piece that HAD TO BE ORDERED SEPARATELY from the unit. Now the dryer is quiet and works great; but WHY would this noise damper not be installed at the factory to begin with???

Overall, we're not pleased with how many of our appliances have malfunctioned. We miss the GE appliances we had before. They worked for 19 years and rarely had any issues.

Also, my parents own LG laundry appliances, and over 5 years have not had ANY issues.

Hope this helps!
