Q: I live in an apartment/condo. I am not sure my microwave space vents to the outside, I'm guessing it does not. Will this microwave work in my kitchen? Will the vent work at all?

A: The LG over-the-range microwave model MVEL2137F is designed to be versatile and can accommodate different kitchen setups, including those without an external venting option. This microwave offers three venting options: exterior venting, recirculating (non-vented) venting, and convertible venting. If your kitchen does not have an external vent, you can configure the microwave to recirculate air back into the kitchen using charcoal filters, which help remove odors and impurities. For an apartment or condo where external venting might not be available, the recirculating venting option will work effectively. Just ensure to install the charcoal filters as per the user manual to maintain optimal performance. If you have any more questions about this model or need further assistance, feel free to let me know! —Renzo

Q: if i buy lg over range microwave 2-1 cuft extendavebt does best buy do installation also?

A: Hi there. Thank you for considering the LG MVEL2137F over-the-range microwave with Extendavent. We understand that you're curious about the installation services provided by Best Buy. While installation services are generally offered by many of our authorized retailers, including Best Buy, we recommend confirming this directly with Best Buy at the time of purchase. Additionally, for a seamless installation process, ensure that the mounting location meets the unit's requirements, such as appropriate clearance and proper ventilation. If you have further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport. We're here to help! —Renzo

Q: Do other LG models have Extendavent feature and does that feature require venting to the outside?

A: Hi there. Please know that for the ExtendaVent to function properly, the over-the-range microwave must be vented to the outside through ductwork. The ExtendaVent cannot operate as a ductless or recirculating vent. Aside from MVEL2137F, models MHEC1737D, MVEF1337F, and MVEL2033D also have the ExtendaVent feature. -Charles

Q: Some say this microwave doesnt come with mounting bracket for install. If so, where do I purchase to properly install? Does best buy sell it?

A: It does come with the mounting bracket, but we had one in previously, so we didn't need it. I don't believe they've made it a separate charge, but Best Buy does provide it.

Q: Is this microwave finger-proof?

A: Hi, This is PrintProof Stainless Steel. ^Vanessa

Q: Where is the vent exhaust outlet? Please show a picture of the back and of the mounting bracket.

A: Regrettably, we do not have any stock images showing the back of the LG 2.1 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Smart Microwave with Sensor Cooking and ExtendaVent® 2.0 - Stainless Steel, Model # MVEL2137F, nor its mounting plate. The microwave oven has knockouts located an inch or two from the top of the unit in the back that can be cut out and removed with side cutters or tin snips, and you will need to rotate and reinstall the blower unit a so that it is aligned with the exhaust ports...^Ivan.

Q: I am buying this microwave . Currently I do not have provision for vent out . Does Best Buy installation offer that to install with vent out . If not do they have any preferred endors who can offer that service

A: Hello there, Shiv. We understand your inquiry about the LG Over-the-Range Smart Microwave (MVEM2033D) and the installation services offered by Best Buy. While our team can answer questions about our products, for specifics regarding third-party retailer services like installation, it's best to contact them directly. Based on publicly available information, Best Buy's standard installation for over-the-range microwaves generally includes connecting the new unit to existing electrical outlets and ductwork. However, they typically do not perform any new construction, such as cutting into walls or cabinets to create a new vent duct. For that type of work, it is often necessary to hire a licensed contractor or electrician. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-2-1-cu-ft-over-the-range-smart-microwave-with-sensor-cooking-and-extendavent-2-0-printproof-stainless-steel/J7G56535YV Your feedback is important, and we'd like to assist you further. Please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport and our team will be more than happy to explore possible solutions. We appreciate your patience. —Renzo

Q: Does the LG MVEL2137F have a rack?

A: Hi, there. Thanks for your question about the LG Microwave (MVEL2137F) model. We’re happy to help clarify. Yes, this unit comes with a cooking rack, which is pretty handy for heating or cooking several dishes at the same time. Just pop the rack on the support brackets inside the microwave. A nice little tip for using it right is to keep in mind that the rack is meant for certain cooking functions. Oh, and it’s best to avoid using metal cookware or utensils with it, since that can lead to some arcing. For more information about the product, visit https://www.lg.com/us/cooking-appliances/lg-mvel2137f-over-the-range-microwave. If you’d like help with rack placement or cooking tips, please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport, and we’ll be glad to assist you further. ^Juvy

  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Visually Appealing and Very Large

    Visually very appealing and when ducted properly with external venting, the vent hood with pop out is terrific. The large capacity is fantastic for reheating or cooking anything. The door is the entire 30” width so it does swing out quite far so you really need to be on the right side, not in front, to open without ducking under. The only issue I have is the touch button areas don’t appear instantly when the microwave front is touched, only when the area directly in front of a button zone is pressed firmly.

    Matching set

    I do not like using microwaves for cooking, mostly bought it for the vent and to complete my kitchen. Looks amazing and vents well. I find myself using it for prep work now, it has some great features like soften.

    A sleek and classy design with bells and whistles

    So far, I really like this microwave. The display is big and backlit, which makes being able to see in the dark very easy. The sleek design is still classy, so it pairs well with my old black appliances and doesn't look to out of place. It's wifi enabled, which is nice when I need to turn the fan or light off but don't feel like getting up, but not really a necessity. The fan extension has been incredibly helpful in adding additional coverage over the range, especially in my tiny home. Installation was very quick, and the Best Buy installation team did a great job of installing and cleaning up. They even fixed my vent, as it hadn't been properly attached by the previous installers to filter out through the duct and out, but was actually blowing the air back into my kitchen and living room (defeating the purposes of a vent)! Very happy!
