Whirlpool 29L Convection, Crisp & Grill Microwave JQ280IX

Bought in May 2020. In the first two months the crisp and grill function didn’t work. They sent a repair man who couldn’t fix the unit. They replaced the unit which after a few months had a fire on the left hand side of the unit. They again replaced the unit and now again the crisp and steam features don’t work. A really shocking combo microwave.

I recently purchased the Whirlpool 6th sense crisp microwave oven model JQ280. To help demystify cooking cakes, biscuits as well as other recipes in my oven - I purchased the recipe book on the Whirlpool website. On leafing through this book I quickly realised even though the books front cover had a photo of my microwave oven it was not written for my oven.

The Concept is great, the product works well, but there is no support, I have emailed the company 3 times with no response.

I rang them and they said see if you can get one online we don't have any spare plates and have none on order.

I’ve only had this microwave a week so I’m still getting used to it, but so far I’m loving it! The crisp function is great for cooking wedges, pizzas and sausage rolls. I’m still trying to work out the timing for defrosting bread as the 6th sense defrost function only covers meats and vegetables. There is no guidance in the instructions or reference guide, it just states to choose the auto function but there is no auto function for bread. Other than that I’m really happy with this microwave.

Loads of features, 2 person unit does a great job and beats having house heat up like the regular ovens. Heats up quickly, less washing up, food retains moisture. Programmes great selection including steam function.
Highly recommended and value for money.

I have purchased the JQ280 29l convection - crisp - grill - microwave oven. I find it very easy to use, I find it heats the food evenly and preserves the original texture of the food. it is a smart looking machine and has a handle to open the door unlike other models that have a push button to open the door. it is also a quiet unit it comes with an extended 3 year warranty for piece of mind.

Owned an earlier Whirlpool Crisp and Bake and recently upgraded to the larger 29L Convection, Crisp and Grill and haven't looked back. More features with the 6th sense function and auto weighing, so far cooking to perfection every time. Steamer dish and steam function makes veggies a breeze. Even cooked a pork belly like in the you tube video, beautiful crackling and juicy pork first go.

Purchased this after our trusty Sharp microwave packed up. It's very quiet, easy controls to use and it crisps food extremely well. The crisp plate comes with a handle to remove it when hot but I found it hard to use so just use oven gloves. It microwaves well, I haven't tried to cook a roast in it yet. The 6th sense function works very well.

I also like the design as the top element exposed is not exposed as it was in the Sharp. This makes cleaning much easier.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the fact the instruction manua...

This was a Christmas present so still early days but so far a big improvement over my basic cheapie microwave I had before. It is quick and silent and the extra features make it very handy in the kitchen. My only negative if it is one is that I found the instructions very minimal for someone like me who is older and not as familiar with fancy gadgets but I got there in the end with the help of youtube. A bigger more comprehensive instruction booklet with loads of recipes would make this a very much 5 star purchase.

we were very happy with our new purchase, after less than 1 year it broke down. Everything still worked but whichever function you used, it automatically turned off after + - 2 minutes.
Having a technician come on site but he could not fix the defect either, with our extended insurance we could get a new one. No, it is not that simple because this device was no longer available ...

After 15 years, our old Samsung microwave finally gave in and so we were on the hunt. After extensive research, we settled on the Whirlpool JQ280 for its size, functionality and looks. Since spending about 2 weeks with the product, we are pleasantly surprised with all the extra functionality and comfort it has over our older machine. Not only does the functions deliver in its simplicity of use, but the little things also add up. Aligning the handle of the mug once the milk is heated; soft and relatively silent door opening/closing; are just a f...

My 3rd Whirlpool with crisp function but the 1st with 6th sense convection. So easy to cook just about any dish you could think of in a fraction of the time with perfect results not to mention ease of cleaning with just a quick wipe with a damp cloth if need be. No wonder you never see Whirlpool advertised they sell themselves by word of mouth about their innovative features.
P.T.P

I have only owned the Whirpool 29L Crisp N’ Grill JQ280IX convection microwave for a couple of weeks and I really only began using it over this last week. It took me a week or two to wrap my head around the fact it wasn’t your basic microwave and that I could use it for something other than just heating up a heat wheat pack, like cooking dinner! So far absolutely loving all of the features. The included accessories are awesome but I wish the steam bowl was just that bit bigger.

The functions are easy to follow, with amazing results. Programming features are great. Microwave cooks very evenly, with textures as they should be. I am very happy with my purchase

We have replaced our well used 15 year old Whirlpool crisp n grill. The new oven is better as the oven size is 50% bigger and has upgraded features.
The ability to reheat a cup of coffee, heat a frozen pie with crispy pastry, to baking a cake or roast a family dinner, demonstrates its flexibility. Being energy conscious we see the microwave as energy efficient compared to a conventional oven.
