LG - 2.2 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking and ExtendaVent 2.0 - Stainless Steel

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.

Great microwave, great time saver. I love the fact that we can heat/cook more than one item at a time with the addition of the rack, and the sensor cook feature is perfect for my family who either overheats/boils and leaves a mess, or underheats/cooks and opens and slams the door shut a gazillion times. I personally love the extended vent feature when searing meat on the stove top. It does a great job of circulating the smoke out your way. If you actually take the time to read through the manual for cooking tips, you won’t be disappointed. We’re very happy with our choice.

Overall, so far, excellent unit. Really enjoy the extendable vent, works well keeping steam off of door, especially since the keys are on the front door of the unit. Really do Like/ prefer the keys on the lower front door for ease of use. Lastly, one thing to note, there is a decent size notch on the top left of the unit for the microwave door, make sure you or the installer checks for clearance as we needed to adjust our cabinet doors above the unit ( thankfully ours were adjustable )

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.

This microwave is really great. It’s quiet but powerful. I love the extend a vents that help vent the oven when your cooking bacon or have something that smokes a lot on top of the stove!

Measure the depth & height of your cabinets first. Only downside for us was it’s so deep that the fan can’t come all the way down because of the proximity to the elevated controls on the back of the stove

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.
