This product is great, although ours starts to get kind of warm and the plate motor makes interesting noises if we do any extended cooking over 15 minutes.

There are plates to move/install, depending on duct or ductless
It's a great microwave to replace what used to be just a range vent. You rarely need to nuke much taller than a plateful, anyway.
We like it so much, we kept it through a kitchen remodel. (Even though we had already purchased a "full size" over-the-range microwave)

The thing that drives me nuts about every "low profile" OTR microwave is the hinge system. Unlike a regular model, the entire door opens up (not just 75ish% of it), and this really can be cumbersome. You always feel like you are going to hit yourself in the face. For the life of me, I don't understand why they don't allow these types of microwaves to hinge up and not out. It would make so much more sense and be so much easier.
I actually bought this one years ago and it's unopened:

I really don't like the teflon/nonstick coating in it (probably crazy but I don't trust it) so it's just been sitting there. However...last week our microwave died and kind of forced my hand.
I have it setup to rear vent straight through the wall and it's better than a typical microwave vent, but it's no match for a real range hood. When it dies, I'll install a hood.
If you have short people, consider that the platter sits nearly 10 inches higher than a standard OTR microwave. My wife and her mother are constantly knocking the plate off the spindle and it stays that way until I see it and fix it.
If you can get an Open-Box Excellent +/-$321.99 go for it and buy the 5yr warranty also at a discount ($99) retail ($119).
I did just with a the samsung slim line.
I bought the Samsung - 1.1 cu. ft. Smart SLIM Over-the-Range Microwave with 550 CFM Hood Ventilation ( Model:ME11A7710DG/AA ) ( Best ventilation on the market #1 reason i bought it)
Heating is great as well.
Samsung ME11A7710DS
Retail $449.99
Geek squad warranty (5yr) $119.99
Samsung ME11A7710DS
Open-Box Excellent $278.99 (Mine was never taken out of the box)
Geek squad warranty (5yr) (open box) $99.99
(( WIN ))
Also note the magnetron warranty is 1 yr for the whirlpool, 10 yr for the samsung mentioned.
