The microwave itself looks very nice and the features and functions seem well thought out. However, before ever using it, we noticed something concerning with the interior. We have wiped the inside of the microwave six separate times using only water, and also steam-cleaned the interior with water. Each time, tiny crystal-like particles continue to come off onto the cloth. Because of this repeated result, we believe the interior coating itself may be shedding. Out of caution, we have not used the microwave at all, as we do not feel comfortable heating food in an appliance where material appears to be coming off the interior surface. This is especially concerning given that this is a food-contact environment. We contacted LG about this issue over five weeks ago and have yet to receive a resolution or clear explanation of what the material is or whether this is normal or safe. Given the potential health implications, the lack of response has been disappointing. Also the door is slight miss aligned We wanted to like this microwave, but until this concern is addressed, we cannot recommend it.

Hi, Jason. Thank you for sharing your experience with your LG Microwave (MVEL2125X) model. We understand the importance of safety in appliance use, particularly regarding the interior surface and build quality.
Inspecting the interior light cover and vent openings can help, as manufacturing residues may appear during initial cleanings. Wiping the cavity with a mild dish soap solution and letting it air dry can help identify if particles are from the coating. For door alignment, ensure the upper and lower hinge screws are tightened to correct any minor shifts. Additional care and maintenance guidance can be found here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-microwave-how-to-cleaning-your-microwave--1366666908230. If issues persist, please email us at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com for further assistance. ^Juvy

I always consult Consumer Reports before an appliance purchase and this LG microwave was rated highly by CR. I agree. I installed this myself replacing a Kenmore microwave that blew a diode. The wifi works, I get a little popup message on my computer monitor announcing the "meal" has completed warming. I am not sure wifi messages from my microwave will change my life much, but it is OK.

I am very pleased with our purchase of this LG-2.1 cu. ft. over-the-range microwave. Aside from the beautifully clean look, its functions are easily used, even though I'm a senior and not a particularly techy person. There's a 30 second button for a quick-heat, plus if you want to heat for any exact # of minutes you just need to push that number. for more exacting detailed time you simply push "cook time" and the exact amount of time you might want (ie: 2:18 for 2 minutes and 18 seconds). The interior is nice and spacey, but the light could have been a little brighter. All things said, I love it. Best Buy delivery was within the window of the time frame I was given and the delivery men were courteous, professional and cooperative. Very pleased overall with the choice of store and product.

So far, it works great. Looks great above out stove. It has a handle, not a push button, and we like that.

I just have 3 days. Installation is quite simple, the microwave powerful. I need more time to have more input

Nice microwave oven. Works well, heats food evenly and the signal is not as annoying as my last micro. Multiple features and wi-fi are appreciated. Although some feel the interior is too dark, I do not find that to be an issue.

Its good. Was a struggle to put it up by myself but it works well.

Really seems to operate quite well with a very effective exhaust fan systemic. Hopefully it will continue to please us as we've only had it a couple of months.

Good unit, works well. Good price, The only thing that’s a bit frustrating is the touchscreen is not visible when it’s dark in the room

Powerfull microwave, with just the right amount of Watts. Don't buy a microwave that is high wattage. This microwave is close to the 1000W recommended by experts.

I love the oven - it replaced a similar unit that failed after 12 years. Having said that, the first unit arrived damaged in November and it took until late January to get a new unit shipped.

Love the new microwave, it is sleek and functional. The air vent works wonderfully.
