You have 2 options for things that WILL fit in the shelves. Either the Sharp Half Pint, or the Whirlpool WMC20005YB. I would HIGHLY recommend the sharp because the whirlpool will ONLY RUN on real sine wave power, and consumes 1200 watts. This means that you need to buy a 400$ inverter to power it, or it won't run. The ability to run the sharp off an inverter that will cost only 100-150(the cobra 2500 or 1500 watt) is an AMAZING advantage. In Hindsight, I wish I had made the same decision, but now i'm stuck buying yet another inverter to get my microwave to work.....

 

I know this is an old thread but I wonder about the micro on a modified sine wave. Freightliner was selling and installing the whirlpool with only a modified sine wave. The Sharp is no longer available. AFAIK all micros will run on the modified sine wave inverter.

 

The whirlpool has a protection circuit on the Heating system. The microwave will have a working timer and turntable with modified sine, but it WILL NOT heat. I was QUITE upset to figure this out. You can find the same results here: http://www.justanswer.com/appliance/7evi6-just-bought-whirlpool-wmc20005yb-0-5-cu-ft-microwave.html . Give it a try if you like, but I'm just saying that this has been my experience.
Also, the reviews on Amazon for the Whirlpool show other people with the same problem that I had.

 

got it from walmart, it fits perfect

 

Did you have to jam it in or did it actually fit in nice and smooth. Also did it damage the cabinet in any way upon removal? When i tried to put one in my freightliner it didn't fit.

 

It was little challenge to put it in first time. after i had to remove it and put it back in two more times and it takes me no more than 30 seconds to jam it in. And there is absolutely no damage to a truck or microwave. when installing keep it in the middle of the cabinet, and once its inside you can lower it and use a factory strap to secure it.

 

I put 3 inch blocks to raise it so the door will open freely

 

Thanks for the fast response i will give that microwave a chance again i was really skeptical trying to force it into the truck. Beings im not an owner op i dont want to damage it . Thanks for all your help I really Appreciate everything.
