The size is great the look is nicer than my GE profile the black and white contrast. The clock is nice and large.
The interior is dimpled so a splash or pop of something wont stick easy clean up. The LED lights are real nice and bright . It heats things real fast compaired to my last. Its much lighter this makes the install a 1 person rather than 2 that was needed for my last unit. The price was excellent delivery was great getting it at my Best Buy was easy and fast and they put it in my truck also.
Can't go wrong buy one.
I would recommend this to a friend

So far so good. Heats well. Nice and Quiet. I noticed i can't push the buttons 4 through 9 minutes to make it work for quick heating. Only goes up to button 3 minutes for quick heating. To heat Anything 4 minutes and above you have to set it. It's fine with me. Price definitely was reasonable. The product looks good and durable. Hopefully it will last awhile.

Install this one in older one died. If you're not fairly handy it would be worth having Best buy install it. I found the directions good the template and everything was good. The feature set of this microwave is very good I really don't see the sense in paying a lot more for the same function. It is good.

This is a very good microwave oven—good power and carousel rotation. It plays a cute little melody instead of a single beep when it’s done. But the numbers and controls are difficult to see—no backlight. It is not intuitive to find the “Cook time” button, or the Stop/Cancel button. However, the shortcut buttons are easy to see and use—30 seconds, 1, 2, 3, etc. for the amount of minutes as a shortcut. This must be an LG feature to have the dark control buttons, because the LG range we just bought has the same issue for the oven. It’s still a good microwave with a good design—modern handle and dark interior.

My Samsung over the range microwave ceased functioning, and I needed something efficient, yet less costly. I opted for this microwave because the proce was right. I installed the microwave myself (not recommended, fet someone to help), but sfter successfully mounting it, I was pleased wirh how QUIET the microwave is, as well as how the LED light worked in the unit. It works great, and I also got a protection plan as a precaution. Very pleased!

Install was easy and looks great. Display color is white as its not listed in description. Heats very well and is sizeable inside. Keypad is its weak point. Buttons are super stiff to push and keypad retains fingerprints that would make a crime scene tech drool. Getting the fingerprints off the keypad can be a challenge. Good for the price

Pretty straight forward but so far we are really enjoying this microwave. Nice sleek design, easy to use. Our old microwave beeped a very annoying amount of times when it was done, I appreciate that this one does NOT do that. Price was right, and installation was very easy. We are happy with this product!
