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: What is the size or diameter of the connection to the external vent, for the external vented configuration?

A: If you are going to vent the LG 2.1 cu. Ft. Smart Over-the-Range Microwave with ExtendaVent®2.0 & EasyClean®, Model # MVEL2137F, through the roof or through the wall, the standard fittings and their equivalent length in feet are: • 3 1/4" x 10" to 6" transition = 5 ft. • 3 1/4" x 10" 90° elbow = 25 ft. • 90° elbow = 10 ft. • 3 1/4" x 10" wall cap = 40 ft. • 45° elbow = 5 ft. When Installing Venting, you will need to keep the length of the ductwork and the number of elbows to a minimum to ventilate your oven efficiently. The total length of the duct system, including straight duct, elbows, transitions, and wall or roof caps must not exceed 140 feet. For best performance, do not use more than three 90 degree elbows, and keep the length as short as possible. If you have existing duct that is round, you must use a rectangular-to-round adapter, with a rectangular 3" extension duct installed between the damper assembly and the adapter to prevent the exhaust damper from sticking...^Ivan.

Q: A lot of Best Buy over the oven microwaves do not have good interior lights as well as underneath the microwave lights. What kind of lights does this one have? Does it have LED lights or bright lights?

A: The light inside the microwave is not very bright. The underneath the microwave lights are LED and very bright and can be set at several brightness levels.

Q: What is the CFM rating?

A: The LG 2.1 cu. Ft. Smart Over-the-Range Microwave with ExtendaVent®2.0 & EasyClean®, Model # MVEL2137F, has a 400 CFM rating...^Ivan.

  • 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!
