One of the standout features of Whirlpool microwaves is their convenient Smart Sensor technology. This innovative feature automatically adjusts cooking time and power levels for various dishes, ensuring perfect results every time. By utilizing built-in humidity sensors, the microwave detects moisture levels and switches cooking settings accordingly, eliminating the guesswork typically associated with microwave cooking.
