Excellent hood and features in mid-range microhood
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My family was faced with a child related, "I wonder what happens when I put this in the microwave?", failure of our old microwave. Due to the sudden loss of a microwave that doesn't make food taste like plastic and burnt electronics we decided to pick up this LG mainly due to the great experiences with our other similarly branded appliances. Nothing in particular was good/bad about the install and if you've ever put in a microhood yourself you'll understand: it's not hard, not easy, but also not particularly fun. This LG was nearly the same as any other so nothing good or bad to apply here. If you're getting it installed, awesome. If you're installing it yourself and have done them before, well, no surprises here at least. If you're installing it yourself and this is your first, be careful it's heavy, bring a second set of hands, DO use the templet, and measure twice drill once. Like I said, it's heavy... To be perfectly honest I was not expecting the world. I was grateful just to be able to go and physically pick up the unit and install it on a weekend. After getting it hung and plugged in I started with the most routine stuff like setting the time, test heating a pyrex bowl with water in it, and just generally pushing all the buttons. Then, I discovered the best thing to be brought into the world of microhoods: finally it's a REALLY good hood! I've always liked the idea of having a microwave built in to a cabinet and a real exhaust hood over my stove. Unfortunately myself and others do not have the kitchen space/size to realistically have this kind of setup so the microwave as a hood option is our best bet. Every microwave hood I have used really seems more like it's for show than anything else. Keeping the steam from boiling pots out of your face, smoke, smells, etc. it didn't matter none of them would do enough to make any real noticeable difference. This microhood is different... Just press in on the bottom edge gently and the front will "ExtendaVent 2.0" out and the intake vents in the back will drop down 20-30 degrees. Even with the fan on it's lowest setting the steam from a pot boiling on the front of my stove will be drawn toward the back and into the hood air intakes. Nothing going up the front and making the microwave door wet and nothing even close to me. I can imagine if you wear glasses this probably sounds amazing, but even if you don't, it still is. Finally a microhood that doesn't just heat your food, it actually does what a real hood does! Side note: The exhaust fans do still work well enough to be very good even if you run them without "ExtendaVent 2.0"ing the hood. It's just that the difference is pretty substantial and now, personally, I don't use the exhaust without extending it. As for the microwave it's self it's a very good looking appliance once installed. Personally I didn't have any expectations but was pleasantly surprised after it was in how much nicer it's made the kitchen look all by its self. The functions offered are pretty standard for these now with options for automatic/sensor softening, heating, and cooking with a convenient list (small) on the lower inner edge behind the door. I have tried a few and have had the best results of any other sensor assist microwave setting before it. Softening butter actually works without leaving a puddle, or my personal favorite the liquid in the middle hard as a rock on the ends butter. Credit where credit is due: if the butter setting works as well as the other sensor settings... can it pop a bag of pocorn by its self without burning it? Yes... yes it can! -Not the most expensive microhood but not the cheapest. -A lot of functionality for the money, and the ExtendaVent option makes it worth more in my opinion. Price out a good (GOOD) hood and a mid-range microwave separate and see which is cheaper. -Looks sharp and the ExtendaVent blends in well without catching the eye or looking out of place. -WiFi for those who want it, and settings/functions are easy to find and navigate or use without having to go dig out the manual or look it up on your phone each time. -Lots of interior space. There's enough room inside, along with a clever recess on the inside of the door (look at the turn table, it sticks out when the door is open) that allows us to put square dinner plates in and the corners do not hit! A win in its self if, like me, you were shopping for new plates because of this and now don't have to! Or, you know, buy them anyway and forget you read any of this because not working in the microwave is a great excuse that I use all, the, time. By the way, it microwaves like its an Olympic sport: keep this in mind and adjust your cooking times until you get used to it. Great microwave with lots of features and options that will make you feel as though you truly got your money's worth even after coming to grips with how much these things cost thanks to inflation!

Great unit, almost perfect. Check cabinet depth
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Be sure your cabinets are deep enough. I have 12" deep cabinets and this sticks out a little further than the one that came with my house. It wouldn't be too bad but the sides aren't flat, so it looks bad in my opinion. I'm going to make a trim to cover it as I really want the extended vent system but don't want to replace my cabinets LOL The good: super quiet, looks great, nice lighting, HUGE turntable, cool chime, has an off timer for the fan. The bad: touch panel shows finger prints real bad. Side panel isn't flat so it looks bad if your cabinets aren't deep enough to cover the sides. This DOES NOT have Alexa / Google connectivity. It does connect to ThinQ but there are no exposed funtions to Alexa. Best Buy please fix that in your features. LG - if you are reading, add some custom chimes in ThinQ, maybe even a user custom upload. Add the fan control to alexa. "Alexa, turn off microwave fan" and "Alexa, cancel alarm"(to stop the "done" reminder beep), "alexa, reheat soup" are some examples.

Very well designed, much better smoke extraction
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is an enjoyable purchase from Best Buy, including help and support from the BestBuy staff to make it easy to select and buy the item. Easy to operate and "sensor" based cooking is just fantastic. The heating power and functions are silky smooth. LG's ThinkQ application made it more enjoyable—a well-designed and built unit.

LG Over the Range Microwave & Extenda Vent Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have had this Microwave for over a month. We are very happy with the design, features and performance. This microwave features an extra vent, you push on the front bottom panel which extends the fan outward and drops down two extra vent screens, it has multiple fan levels. By extending over the cooking surface of the stove top it allows for more steam to be captured. It is very accurate in heating up food. We would highly recommend it!

Beautiful and Functional
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We've had this microwave for a few weeks now, and we love it. It has taken some getting used to as it has many features. The double vents work great and we use them often. The sensor cooking and reheating options are great and we love them. The light underneath is very bright and adjustable. We've had a few issues with the stove sync for the vent but other than that great microwave.

Better Than The Last LG Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This one was purchased to replace another LG microwave that stopped working 2 months after the warranty expired. So far this one works very good and I was able to just remove the old one and just drop it in place, as they were very similar. The only gripe is that I don't think it cooks popcorn as well as some of my older microwaves. For that I just use the Insignia microwave in my basement.

Excellent Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.New microwave is very nice and fits like a glove in the old spot. I couldn't be happier with the installation and with the unit itself. I had measured the demo unit in Best Buy and it was nearly a match for my old microwave. My only other big concern was that it didn't support an outside vent. I'm happy to report it does. Quick notes: - Very easy to read display with large letters. - Fan On/Off is separate from the speed. Nice to have it separated like that. - Wifi is neat to have. I can turn on/off the light, fan, and the microwave itself (cook time defaults to 10 seconds). There is also a night light buried in Settings->Preference. Hopefully the built-in IoT computer can also set the time via NTP on the Internet (but I just manually set it myself after it was plugged in). - The extending fan tray is a very nice touch. The back folds down about 15 degrees or so as the tray extends out. - This Microwave vents through the top to a collar adapter to an outside vent.

Q: QuestionDoes this microwave have Alexa connectivity. If So, where can I find a list of commands? I need a new over the range microwave and want that feature.
Asked by Bfuqua.
- A:Answer No, it does not. Best Buy says it does but "microwave" isn't listed as one of the appliances in the LG Skill and it doesn't show as a device in alexa. I contacted LG and confirmed there are no Alexa commands for this microwave
Answered by fredd0h
Q: QuestionWhat is the weight of the microwave? Do I need special support to hold it over the rang?
Asked by pandit.
- A:Answer 61.5 lbs as indicated in the specs for the microwave. You should not need any additional support than the bracket that they provided you with in the box. The instructions and templates that is provided was more than adequate for the install in my case.

Q: QuestionIs there an interior light? If not, is it easy to see the food through the glass door. Want to avoid boiling over issues.
Asked by JohnO.
- A:Answer There is an interior light. Which is adequate. The problem is on the front of the microwave. The instrument panel is not back lit so unless you have a well lit kitchen area, you have to have a flashlight to see the numbers.
Answered by JohnH
Q: QuestionSays it's 17 3/4 inches high, I assume that's on the back of the unit. What's the height on the front of the microwave?
Asked by Timmah.
- A:Answer 17 3/4" is the MAXIMUM height, which is in the middle of the microwave, not the front. The front is only 17" high, and that seems more like 16.25" as the vent tilts back. On the mounting backplate, it's only a smidge over 16" high. Basically, it's not 17 3/4" high on the back or the front, only the midway back. The mounting and visual dimensions are less. Those saying they measured the front to be 17 3/4" are incorrect or didn't actually measure. See picture.

Q: QuestionHello! Is the "Add 30 seconds" an express button or does time already have to be added to use it? Thanks!
Asked by KayD.
- A:Answer Hi, Here's the function for =30 seconds: Start cooking without pressing the START/ Enter button. • Press +30 seconds to cook for 30 seconds at high. • Press +30 seconds during cooking to increase the cook time by 30 seconds. (Add up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds)^Vanessa
