The Whirlpool WMH31017HS is a 1.7 cu. ft. over-the-range microwave with 1,000 watts of cooking power and sensor cooking that automatically adjusts cook time based on what's in the microwave — no guessing, no manual adjustments, consistently better results than fixed-time cooking. For households that use the microwave multiple times a day, sensor cooking removes the most frustrating part of microwave use: figuring out when something is actually done.

At 1.7 cu. ft., the interior fits dinner plates, casserole dishes, and large microwave-safe containers without issue. The LED control panel displays the clock and kitchen timer clearly, and the overall interface is straightforward — no learning curve for family members who just want to reheat leftovers quickly.

The over-the-range installation handles ventilation from the cooktop below, eliminating the need for a separate range hood while keeping the countertop clear. The stainless steel exterior coordinates naturally with stainless ranges, refrigerators, and dishwashers for a consistent, modern kitchen look. 1,000 watts provides enough power for fast, even heating across the range of typical microwave tasks.

This is a reliable, well-priced over-the-range microwave from Whirlpool — sensor cooking at this price point is a feature that genuinely improves daily use and is worth having.
