2.0 out of 5 stars Whirlpool Microwave, January 20, 2008

[ASIN:B000GZ2GO2 Whirlpool Gold Series GH5184XPS 1.8 Cu. Ft. Over the Range Microwave Oven with 1100 Cooking Watts & Instant Defrost: Stainless Steel]] I purchased this Whirlpool Microwave 2 years ago and it has seen light use during this period. My wife gets home late at night and I use hood lights to dimly illuminate the kitchen. Just recently I awoke to find this Whirlpool Microwave completely dead. No power, no clock, nothing. The bulbs in the hood lighting look as though they became extremely hot before burning out. The ceramic fuse was burnt, too, the main inverter board. Again, this occured when the microwave wasn't being used, when I was asleep. I contacted Whirlpool who refuses to do anything. To repair it will cost $400+ dollars. So I guess I will be buying a new microwave; definitely 'not' any Whirlpool item.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible, September 3, 2010

This review is from: Whirlpool GH5184XPS / GH5184XPS / GH5184XPS 1.8 Cu. Ft. Over the Range Microwave Oven (Electronics)

Same story as previous reviewers -- the microwave came with the new home we purchased a couple of years ago. I didn't find it in any retail stores then. And it now seems that the whirlpool created a cheap/pathetic model for builders only. The stainless steel and all the fancy features look nice but it doesn't last.
We had a broken grill THREE times in first year and the front panel stopped working after about 9 months. The first year warranty covered the 4 service visits (and new parts). And after a year and 8 months, the handle came off!!!
We were furious and gave whirlpool customer service a piece of our mind. After much argument over few days, they agreed to replace the microwave with a different model (charging us the difference in price and labor).
I will see how it goes. The only hope I have is that this is a model available in retail stores and if my theory is correct, it should be better than the "builder-only" model that we currently have.

And if you are thinking that i may have gotten a "lemon", think again. Two of my neighbors and the club-house have the same model -- all broken.

This is a horrible product. Bought our house new. The first microwave of this model died in about 1.5 years. I thought it was a fluke and bought the same model. This second one died one month over the 1 year mark. Called Whirlpool and they just said I was out of luck. AVOID THIS MICROWAVE and any microwave made by Whirlpool
