LG - 1.7 Cu. Ft. Convection Over-the-Range Smart Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Air Fry - Stainless Steel

After only having it a week, we have used it quite a lot. We have used it for reheating, baking, roasting and more. The reason we bought this appliance is its versatility. Microwave, convection oven and air fryer in one. We have baked a cake with the convection oven, roasted a chicken with the air-fryer, cooked vegetables and more with the microwave. Much much better than our microwave only unit we had before. With Christmas coming, having this oven will make life so much easier. Operation is really easy to learn, the clean minimalist design fits into our kitchen beautifully, and the versatility allows us to free up counter space of other appliances we no longer need. We give the appliance 5 stars, but the installation was a bit sketchy. We are finding parts not used, screws falling out from behind the unit and questionable mounting.

Back in November, our 15-year-old microwave finally died. We searched for a replacement at all the big box stores, and as usual, BestBuy had the deal we were looking for. This LG model is fantastic—it’s like getting a brand-new microwave with all the latest features. As a bonus, we now have a second oven thanks to the convection feature, plus a built-in air fryer. All of this comes without sacrificing any countertop space, which is a huge plus in our small kitchen. All of the functions work well. The only downside is that the microwave is rated at 973W, whereas our old one was 1100W. As a result, some things take a little longer than we were used to. For example, our microwave egg boiler used to make perfect hard-boiled eggs in 11 minutes; now it takes about 12 and a half minutes.

Sleek and beautiful microwave. Has great options to cook in different ways. My only complaint is that when the door is all one with no handle, it takes up more space when someone has the door open and other people are in the kitchen.

Coming from a GE Profile microwave and this new one is a solid product (hoping the touch buttons don't stop functioning over time, but so far, so good!). I selected this LG model because it fit the exact dimensions of my previous microwave that fizzled on me and I didn't want to have any issues with my backsplash while replacing. All of the extra functionality (convection, air fry, etc) didn't hurt either! First time I've gotten so many compliments on the look of a home appliance alone! lol Also paid for installation through Best Buy and the service team was super fast, kind, and professional. Highly recommend :)

So far the microwave functions are easy to use and it is quiet in operation. We have not tried the convection features yet. It's clean appearance declutters the kitchen in a nice way. Takes away some of the feeling of the busyness and fretfulness of life. Nice calm element in our kitchen.
