Whirlpool : GH7208XRQ Microwave

Cheap Whirlpool : GH7208XRQ Microwave Review

I have this microwave in black. We're remodeling so have had nothing to cook with for the past 2 weeks except this microwave and a small 11" electric skillet. This microwave is absolutely amazing! I knew it came with a rack a sizzle pan, but was suprised when I got it and found 2 wire stands, one low and one high profile, the sizzle pan, with handle for when it's hot, and a fairly large casserole w/ steamer insert. The touch screen is interactive and easy to use. The "sensor cooking" feature works very well. The control panel takes just the slightest touch and is very accurate. There are MANY preprogrammed options, but you can easily operate it manually in any mode as well.

I have a busy life, full time job w/ 1 hr commute each way and 3 young boys (as of this date 01/30/09 they are 6, 3 and 18 mos.) When they are hungry, they are hungry! We have been eating a lot of frozen pizzas which would normally gross me out to have to eat - who wants soggy crusted microwaved pizza??? (My husband does, but he's weird! LOL!) You put the sizzle pan up on the high stand and use the interactive touch screen to find the frozen pizza menu where you select thick or thin crust and also the diameter of the pizza. Then it tells you which rack to use and to place that w/ the sizzle pan in the microwave to preheat. It preheats for 3 minutes, then beeps and tells you to put in the pizza, then touch Continue. It takes about 8 minutes for a 9" thin crust, so give or take depending on your pizza. I haven't had time to watch it run through an entire cylce, but have noticed that it apparantly runs through different cooking phases ending with one that bubbles/browns the cheese. The pizza comes out looking awesome and tastes pretty darn good, too! The texture isn't perfect, but much better than any microwaved pizza I've ever experienced before.

The lighting (it has a nightlite feature) and fan speed options are excellent and when used as a range hood (over my little electric skillet) it has done an excellent job drawing in steam and grease. The grease filters can go in the dishwasher. The charcoal filters will be replace every so often as necessary.

With nothing else to really cook in/on, I've not had time to risk experimenting so haven't tried the broil, convection bake, or grilling features. If they work as well as what I've experienced thus far I'll be completely satisfied. This appliance has been an absolute JOY to own. It has a "most frequently used" menu that has "learned" what we cook most often and placed them there for easier access - it will change as our needs change.

If you decide to splurge on this microwave, I doubt you'll be sorry! I certainly am not!!!
