About the Whirlpool WMC30516AW

This countertop microwave measures 21.9" wide with a 1.6 cu ft interior—a standard size suitable for kitchens with typical counter space and family-size portions. The automatic sensor cooking mode uses steam detection to know precisely when food is done and shuts off automatically—the single most useful feature for avoiding overcooked, dried-out meals and wasted energy. Installation requires manufacturer-specified clearances: 3.0" above, 3.0" on each side, and 3.0" behind the unit—always verify these measurements match your cabinet layout before installation. A solid everyday choice for most households—competent at all standard tasks without the complexity or cost of premium feature sets.
