I recently purchased the MHEC1737F and, unfortunately, I'm quite disappointed given the hefty price tag. While the automated defrost option works well and is convenient, the overall performance of the microwave leaves much to be desired. One of my main issues is that the microwave seems less powerful than other models I've used in the past. Cooking times are longer than expected, which is frustrating. My biggest complaint, however, is the air fryer feature. I tried cooking several slices of bacon, and it took over 20 minutes to finish. In comparison, a stovetop air fryer would have done the same job in less than 10 minutes, which I find unacceptable for a device marketed with such capabilities. I haven't yet tried the convection baking feature, but based on my experience so far, I am not optimistic. Overall, I regret my purchase and would not recommend this model to others looking for a reliable microwave with effective air frying abilities.

I didnt read all of the power details and am pretty disappointed on the ability to microwave. Its as puny of a microwave was possible. Takes much longer than expected to microwave anything. Its good at air fry and baking, gets it an extra star. However there isnt a manual temp and time entry as far as i can tell for air fry and other special features. You just have to guess something similar to the other food item your cooking. Meh it gets the job done but I expected a lot more.

Feeling really mislead by the positive reviews about the air fryer on this one. Air fryer only has one setting - 450 - and you select the time by guessing which food and qty you want to cook. Convection oven doesn't have a preheat option, so that impacts the cook time/quality. If you're not buying it for the air fry option, then you're just paying a significant premium for a sub-1000W microwave.

Hi, Otto. Thank you for reaching out. We understand the importance of having your LG Microwave (MHEC1737F) model live up to the features highlighted in reviews, and we appreciate you sharing your experience with the air‑fry and convection functions.
One helpful step you can try is using the Low‑Temp Air Fry option within the Air Fry menu. On this model, the default button goes straight to 450°F, but the temperature can be adjusted by selecting Air Fry → Temp before starting the cycle. This allows you to choose lower temperatures for foods that don’t require maximum heat. For more guidance, visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-MHEC1737F.BRSELGA. We’d be glad to take a closer look into this for you, please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com so we can assist you directly. ^Juvy

Air fryer not good need more time than usual to fry in my ninja air fryer

Hi, Badiya. Thank you for reaching out, and we understand the importance of having your LG Microwave (MHEC1737F) model deliver the air‑frying performance you’re expecting. To ensure you are achieving the best results with the Air Fry feature, please verify that you are using the provided Air Fry tray and placing it on the higher rack position as specified in the manual. Unlike a dedicated countertop air fryer, this unit uses a large oven cavity; therefore, preheating the microwave for a few minutes or ensuring that food is not overcrowded on the tray will help the hot air circulate more effectively, leading to crisper and faster results. For more guidance, visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-MHEC1737F.BRSELGA and check out page 33 for air fry mode feature. We’d be glad to take a closer look into this for you. Please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. We're here to help. ^Juvy <img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/stratos-logos/logos/LG.png" alt="LG" title="LG" style="display: block !important; margin-top: 2em !important; border: 1px solid #ccc !important; padding: 2px !important; background-color: white !important;" />

I should have done a little more research on this microwave. To me it seems to over complicate each task. Air fry and Bake are very underwhelming if you think this will replace your air fryer it will not. You will end up turning to your old air fryer on the counter. It takes double or triple the time to do air fry or bake. We have also encountered an issue where the door sensor does not sense that its closed. This will prevent the microwave from wokrong properly. I have seen other reviews where tbis is a common issue to watch out for. You end up havibg to slam it shut to have it recognize the door is closed. Hopefully LG will fix this door issue.

I would not buy this oven again. It is difficult to use. Can't read the captions on the front door because it blends in with the black door.. Air fryer only works for already cooked frozen food and not very well. The convection oven doesn't work as well as my toaster oven does. No complaints with microwave.
