All over-the-range microwaves have less cooking power than what is available on countertop units. Codes and regulations dictate the maximum amperage (power) an appliance can draw from a standard 120 VAC circuit. In a countertop unit this can all be allocated to cooking. An over-the-range unit must also have an exhaust fan, and usually lighting, for the range. Slightly less cooking power, compared to a countertop unit, is available. Look for the power rating in the specifications. This LG is rated 1050 watts. That is quite good for an over-the-range unit. Similarly sized countertop units are 1200 to 1250 watts. I've had this unit for several months and it cooks no slower than the GE unit it replaced. However, it does not cook as fast as the countertop unit I had in my previous home.

This model has a microwave output of 1,050 watts, which is considered a standard level of power for many microwaves. While it might seem slower than other higher-wattage units, the cooking time can depend on several factors, such as the type of food you're heating and the settings you're using. For example, if the microwave is set on lower power levels for more even cooking or defrosting, it might take a bit longer. If you feel the microwave is consistently cooking slower than expected, we recommend checking the power settings and adjusting them to match the type of food you're preparing. Additionally, ensure that the microwave is level and that there's sufficient airflow around it for optimal performance. https://www.lg.com/us/cooking-appliances/lg-mvel2033f-over-the-range-microwave#pdp_specs For further assistance or troubleshooting, please feel free to send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport.
