This microwave looks very nice, matches well with our new LG Instaview fridge and buttons are easy to see and operate. However there are some things I don’t love that I had come to appreciate in our old GE and would make me think twice before another microwave purchase - (1) this microwave is noisy! Upon initial heating of an item it is especially loud, just really noisy humming, i don’t recall any microwave being so loud (2) the glass plate is only 12 in vs our old one was 14in even though both models have the same cuft / size. (3) there is only one brightness setting (vs 2 on our old one) on the surface light that shines below the unit, just a simple thing that could’ve been improved (4) the door is super stiff to open/shut, perhaps this will ease up over time.

This is a really nice microwave. The size of inside and the rack are a plus. The reason for the 4 stars (and it would be 4 1/2 stars - if I could) is there is no type of lighting on the control panel. At night, you need to turn on the kitchen light or have another source of light to see the panel. I am so accustom to the panels having backlights behind the controls that I didn't check that before purchasing. Any, I let the return/exchange window close, so now I am stuck unless I buy another. And I might do that because the lack of light on the control panel has started to wear on me. Otherwise, this is a really great microwave.

This purchase was to replace my microwave going out. I previously had a different Brand that only lasted a couple of years. This microwave was very easy to install, I love all of the features, and it’s also looks great! I highly recommend this LG microwave and as always, Best Buy has great customer service and answered all my questions, it was delivered on time, without a dent or scratch.

I was so close to not getting this microwave based on the reviews. Especially when the biggest issue was the sound of the microwave. Now don’t get me wrong the hi fan can be sort of loud but nothing in excess! The black stainless steel looks beautiful! The light is a bit low, but nothing that can’t be supplemented.

Microwave works great. Only downside is buttons are a little hard to push and the beep is very loud and keeps going off intermittently until I open the door. i wish there is some way to tone it down.

This is a nice looking over-the-range microwave and it's easy to use. The only down side it that its a bit noisy when it runs because the fan is activated when you use it.

After installation the display panel flickered 24/7. That problem went away on its own. Geek Squad thought it was likely dust on the electronics. It has always worked great. Just a couple things to be aware of - there is just 1 light setting & there are no 1 button cook options.

Overall a good microwave for the price. A bit loud while in use, & the touch pad doesn’t light up except for clock. Very easy to clean inside, but outside shows fingerprints & wipe marks

I like the ease of using this unit. It looks good too. The only thing I don't like is that it seems a little loud and the light doesn't have a night light option. Saying that I would buy it again.

Have only used it a few times but seems ok so far. The sound is pretty loud but haven't looked to see if it can be adjusted. Also, have to press pretty hard on keypad but again, haven't had a chance to see if that can be adjusted, either. I can always come back and update my review once we've been using it a little longer and if the above mentioned can be adjusted.

This microwave cooks beautifully, evenly and fast. It has a nice sleek appearance and is easy to clean. The only negative is that the light which shines down on the stove is very dim and the keypad is not back lit and is a bit hard to read.

Love how well made and beautiful it looks in my kitchen. Love the dark interior and how easy it is to clean. The only downside is that is you have to press hard on the buttons. Other than that, it is extremely sturdy and easy to use.

Great microwave! I am not sure if my old one was that broken or if this one is just that much more powerful but this heats food in less time. The vent works well even if it is a bit loud. I found the under light to be just the right brightness for evenings.
The biggest issue I have with this is that like others have said, the buttons are rather hard to push and the beeping. It is really loud and if you leave something in there it will keep beeping every minute until you open the door or press the cancel button. There is no way to turn the volume down on it or turn off the reminder beeps.

Missing a simple feature

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Works well, but I can't give this 5 stars because it is missing the automatic timing feature my old microwave had. In other words, you can't just press the 3 and expect 3 minutes of cooking. You literally have to press the cook time and then minutes, or punch in 3-0-0-start. beep beep beep beep
Yeah, sounds like a first world problem, but if you're used to the auto-time and you have to stop what you're doing to go find your glasses, it is an annoyance. It's a simple feature they probably should have included, given the price. Otherwise, it looks and works great.

Plastic display that smudges

Sleek design that goes well with other black stainless appliance. However, the display leave much to be desired. It is plastic (which I didn't realize when buying online) that easily shows finger prints and smudges when wiped. The time display is also obscured and cut off when looking at it from an angled. The plastic will undoubtedly wear and break over time. All, in all, it function fine as microwave and vent, but lacks some of the quality craftsmanship the other appliances I bought in my LG kitchen suite.

Smaller than most, delivers what is needed. It has all the features that a regular microwave would have and it looks great. A little noisy, but it does not bother me.
