I have now had this Microwave Oven (JT479IX) since 02/01/2021. It was purchased to replace an Whirlpool Microwave – model 6MT48 bought on 03/01/2004 – so 17 years ago. This model has performed well over the 17 years of ownership never giving me any trouble at all. So it was only natural that I should buy another.

The new model is very similar to the old one with a few additions. Like a fan forced convection oven, computer style icons in lieu of buttons and some program differences. The learning curve for the JT479IX was very small indeed as it...

I am so happy with the whirlpool microwave it has so many features for cooking every type of food, and superb recipes which are delicious and very easy to use also

This oven is solid and works effectively to reheat meals and to crisp leftovers. Works quickly and the crisping plate is fantastic. Saves me booting up the wall oven for small quantities.

There a lot of functions to work through but the basic microwave and oven work a treat.

The microwave itself is very sturdy and heavier and better built compared to the other microwave/oven combos out there.

This microwave is unbelievable. Cooks my roast dinners in half an hour.... delicious. Steamer is super also and cooks vegetables perfectly. Other features like fan forced oven, grill/microwave work beautifully.
Best Crisp and Grill on the market.

So far does a great job of cooking food when you can work out the appropriate settings for what you are cooking, but this is not always obvious so some things can take a bit of trial and error. Still learning the ropes of this machine as I go. Food is cooked evenly, and I am loving the ease of the sensor function!
I do wish companies would use straightforward language to talk about product features instead of fanciful gibberish like “6th sense” though!

The best part of this Microwave is most of the popular dishes menu is pre fed, all you have to do is follow the instruction and result is very impressive. This is in true sense a House master Chef who can look after most of daily food preparation. My wife is very happy and so i am. Highly recommended

I have not used a convection oven before and am finding it confusing until worked out. I would have appreciated being able to go to a demonstration - but am sorting it out - sometimes with trepidation.
When I sort out a recipe the results are good. Am looking forward to receiving your cook book.
all in all a great product.

I purchased this oven to replace my large Sharp Convection Microwave and found it to be much better overall. The reheat function is excellent the food is always hot. The convection oven works brilliantly from cooking cakes or pies right through to crispy pizza and I am slowly working my way around all the features on offer. I have had this now for over 3 months and am very happy with it especially for quick snacks such as toasted sandwiches, chips or bacon and eggs. I did chip the glass turntable, my fault as I am not used to glass howev...

Once you have had one you will never go back. I love the expanded menu, such as the chef menu, it really works. The food stays fresh, just like a normal oven, especially using the crisp plate. This is NOT a normal microwave! Love it!!! Thank you Whirlpool.

I had a Whirlpool JT369, and when that died after 6.5 years, nothing else but another Whirlpool Crisp n Grill would do. After I had one of these all-in-one combi microwave, convection oven and grill with the special crisp plate, I could not bear the thought of going back to a “normal” microwave.

At $600+ this is a pricy benchtop microwave. It is a big 31L with a pull-down door like a regular oven. Compared to the older model, it offers more functions but now no longer offer the metal baking tray and the plastic dish cover as included accessori...

what can I say. I have gone from having a Microwave and a oven to all in One. The defrost is perfect it doesn't cook the corners of the meat like a Microwave dose. Best chips on the crisp plate. Kids love it. They look at the chef menu and cook dinner now. They love how its programed.
Especially the popcorn button, perfect popcorn.
Don't knock it till you try it. You will not look back

This is an interesting product. Spoiler alert, it's an awesome oven with more pros than cons.

I was nervous about buying because of the cost and size. I paid more than $600 recently.

Firstly, it has an option in settings to disable button beeps. I applaud this rare feature, and switched the beeps off on day one.

I don't even like microwaves, and rarely use the microwave. This oven is a good convection oven. It's awesome how the door opens like a full size oven. This improves access, and you can sit hot plates on the door.

The rotating dial to select programs and options is great, I wish more products had physical dials with screens like this. It's fun to set the controls, unlike normal appliances with boring buttons.

This new oven is better and greater than our previous one we searched for an alternative in this price range but nothing else on the market can better this oven. One disappointment with this machine is that it did not come with the baking tray or plate cover (optional extra) as it did with JT369. that aside I am enjoying learning using this .

This is my second Crisp N Grill Microwave purchase, I still use the original “Gusto Steam” which we have had for a number of years, we had two microwaves; the other unit; a Sharp Inverter stopped working, and hence the reason for buying a replacement. This new 6th Sense Whirlpool JT479IX Microwave is more powerful and has many more functions, including convection, we I will now probably stop using the regular oven, as this new microwave will save time and energy. This new 6th Sense model and the Gusto both have the crisp function which I person...
