Chose this LG unit due to attractive looks and extendable vent. It works great and captures cooking odors from front burners. The push function to engage vents is quiet and reliable. The rear vents come down at an angle, which is cool. The interior of the unit is huge. The exterior light is very bright.

We had to quickly replace our range that went out cooking dinner one evening. We bought the LG double oven and decided we should have a matching microwave. We ordered this one without seeing it in store, but we are glad we did. The presets cooked the items we have thus far perfectly - reheated chili, softened butter, baked potato. I love that the buttons are at eye level for me at only 5’2” tall. I like the extended vent as well. My only complaint is that the glass plate sticks out oddly from the front opening and I tend to hit bowls on it as I put them in the microwave. I added some photos to show how it sticks out. Other than that, I am very pleased.

I bought this over-the-stove microwave for it’s pop out stove vent. My whirlpool microwave died after exactly 4 years because the steam from boiling water got inside it’s door and ruined the control panel (bad design and shoddy workmanship.) this LG unit has full coverage of the stove’s boil unit plus four powerful vents that efficiently sucks the steam and odors away from living space! Huge upgrade and frankly I’m surprised LG is the only manufacturer to offer that feature. Microwave works well as most do and has some nice features. Interior is not stainless—wish it was.

So pleased with my purchase. This microwave is beautiful, quiet, easy to use, and the best feature is the extended ventilation tray! We love it. Give it 5 stars! The only thing recommended for manufacturer is to make the inside blue/purple color to match their ranges.

We have had LG appliances for almost 10 years now and we needed to replace the microwave and because we've been so happy with the one we had before we essentially bought the newer version of the model. This Microwave is perfect for our family, we have a large family and so any appliance gets a lot of use, and LG has proven to be very reliable. The vent below the microwave is an excellent feature as it helps vent the oven top when cooking on the oven below. Would definitely recommend this model microwave.
