The Whirlpool WMCS5522RS countertop microwave is designed for busy kitchens that want more from a microwave than simple reheating. With a compact footprint and a width of just over 21", it still offers a generous 1.0 cu. ft. capacity, making it easy to handle family-sized plates, bowls and cookware while fitting comfortably on most countertops. What truly sets this model apart is its All‑in‑One multifunction design: instead of buying separate appliances, you get microwave, air fryer, grill and convection-style baking and roasting capabilities in a single, streamlined unit. Use Air Fry Mode to crisp fries, nuggets and snacks with little to no added oil, switch to Grill Mode to sear burgers or melt a golden cheese topping, or choose Roast and Bake modes to achieve a caramelized, oven‑like finish on meats, vegetables and desserts, all without turning on your full-size oven. Backed by 900 watts of cooking power and 10 adjustable power levels, the Whirlpool WMCS5522RS gives you precise control whether you’re quickly reheating leftovers or following a detailed recipe. Six convenient auto functions and multiple quick-start buttons simplify everyday tasks like defrosting, popcorn, beverages and dinner plates, while electronic touch controls and a bright LED display keep operation intuitive and modern. Inside, a recessed, dishwasher‑safe turntable plate makes cleanup fast and hassle‑free, and the stainless steel interior helps resist stains and odors over time. Thoughtful touches such as a Keep Warm setting, Steam Clean option and a Mute/Unmute sound control add everyday convenience, and the UL‑compliant two‑step door opening (press Stop/Unlock, then pull the handle) provides an extra measure of safety in homes with children. If you’re looking to maximize performance and versatility in a modest footprint, the Whirlpool WMCS5522RS delivers the functionality of several appliances in one smart, stylish microwave that’s built to handle everything from quick snacks to full meals.
• All‑in‑One multifunction design – combines microwave, Air Fry, Grill, Roast, Bake and combination modes so one appliance can handle everyday cooking, crisping and reheating.
• Air Fry Mode – uses hot air circulation to crisp foods like fries, nuggets and wings with little to no added oil, freeing up counter space versus a separate air fryer.
• Grill Mode with Air Fry Basket – sears the outside of meats and vegetables using direct heat through the basket to create a browned, grilled crust and richer flavor.
• Roast Mode – uses convection-style hot air to lock in juices and give meats and vegetables a crunchy, caramelized exterior without turning on a full-size oven.
• Bake Mode – bakes desserts and other dishes up to 400°F using a convection fan and heater so you can make cakes, cookies or casseroles directly in the microwave cavity.
