I have this oven. After having LG and Samsung models that crapped out, this one has been going strong. Whirlpool make reliable if not exciting appliances.
The sensor cooking and any of the other auto settings just don't work very well... same as most brands. Best to just set the time and power yourself.
From Consumer Reports (scored 64. Top ranked was a couple of Whirlpools at 86)

About
This Whirlpool WMH32519HZ is part of the Microwave ovens test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Over-the-range microwave ovens microwave ovens models like the WMH32519HZ are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.
Heating evenness:This reflects how evenly a model reheated a dish of cold mashed potatoes.

Speed of heating:This score is based on the temperature rise of water heated in the microwave.
Predicted Reliability & Owner Satisfaction
Results in the following chart are gathered from Consumer Reports' 2020, 2021, and 2022 Spring Surveys of 60,832 over-the-range microwaves, owned by members who purchased a new unit between 2012 and 2022.
Our predicted brand reliability ratings are based on a statistical model that estimates problem rates by the end of the 5th year of ownership, for over-the-range microwaves that are not covered by an extended warranty or service contract. Higher ratings are indicative of better reliability. Brands receiving a red or orange rating cannot be recommended by CR at this time.
Our owner satisfaction ratings are based on the proportion of members who are extremely likely to recommend their over-the-range microwave brand to friends and family.

What's "sensor cooking"? I've never heard that term before..
I just posted and purchased this so not 100% sure, here is a definition "The Sensor Cook control automatically sets the appropriate cooking time calculated by sensing the moisture level of the food or beverage being cooked. The Sensor Cook control is programmed to cook the following items: Potato, Fresh Veggies, Frozen Veggies, Bacon, Frozen Dinner, Rice, Frozen Breakfast, and Frozen Pizza." Maybe someone who has one of these can chip in
What's "sensor cooking"? I've never heard that term before..
Theoretically it is supposed to sense when something is cooked and stop. Mine has settings for reheating a dinner plate, popcorn, and other stuff. I've owned my LG microwave for 12 years and just now is the first time I've considered that maybe I should try that function sometime. It's probably pretty standard on a lot of microwaves now..

Have an LG with sensor cook. Absolutely love the feature. It stopped working (only the sensor cook) after 3 years. When we buy a replacement will get one with sensor cook
Never used sensor cook, and honestly want a whirlpool that's black SS with less features than what I have (currently have the full ~6in touchscreen no handle model thats been close out sale multiple times in the past yr or so). Works okay now but feel like its one door slam from being gone. Any Black SS deals?
Does this come with a trim kit? Would it need one?

Just got this delivered from Costco on Friday, I paid 339.99. Installed and it works just great. Seems like the door is built more solidly than my last Whirlpool which which gave me 7 years. The door developed a problem on the old one and worked just fine other than that.
Good timing. My 10 year old Whirlpool randomly started blowing fuses. Replaced the door switches and still happens. Might just get a new one and avoid wasting time diagnosing the issue or paying for a repair tech visit.
Ordered this exact model a few months ago for the same price at Best Buy. It's $269 right now. We had a whirlpool 2.1 cu ft microwave. I didn't realize at the time, but a big difference between the 1.9 and 2.1 is the turntable size.
I only use sensor cooking with baked potatoes. That works well and is way faster than the oven especially if you don't have a lot of potatoes to cook.

Press sensor cook and than start. It keep cooking until there is a feedback from 'the sensor' and it stop. Well for mine it add an 8 second count down and than stop. The food come out almost boiling hot, I have not test if it reach boiling YET.
I think how it work is it keep on cooking until it sense there is resistance. Similar to how your automatic window in your car work, it keep going up or down until there is resistance. That resistance is how it knows to cut the power. Pretty smart. It doesn't need to know how far it have gone or if it actually reach the end, it just know there is resistance and to stop.
