Features & Specs - Whirlpool Gold GMH6185XV[S]
Claimed capacity (cu. ft.) Capacity as listed on the product or packaging. Claimed capacity (cu. ft.)	1.8
Watts This is the manufacturer's figure of the microwave power output. In general, the more watts an oven offers, the greater its cooking power-and the faster your food will be cooked. That said, differences in claimed wattage of 100 watts or less are unlikely to result in significant differences in performance. Watts	1100
Convection mode A few microwaves include a convection oven feature, which has a heating element and a fan that distributes heat. In convection mode, you can set the oven temperature as you would in a traditional oven to bake or roast items. Convection mode	Yes
Sensor Controls the cooking and reheating time automatically. It shuts off an oven when it determines (usually by sensing steam) that food is hot enough. Sensor	Yes
Detailed prompts Display offers instructions to guide you through the cooking process. Detailed prompts	Yes
Stainless/SS-look option Stainless-steel is stylish, but it shows fingerprints. Another option: a vinyl-covered metal finish that gives you a stainless-steel look but resists smudging. Stainless/SS-look option	Yes
