Customer Ratings & Reviews

Lots of space, easy install, looks great above the range

I love this new over the range microwave. We are in the process of remodeling and the black stainless is outstanding. No fingerprints! It is easy to work and does a great job. The only thing I dislike is that the clock does not stay on when it is not in use because of the energy efficient feature but just takes a touch to see the time.

The LG Microwave has plenty of features and has worked flawlessly since we had it installed. It is much better than our prior microwave, which stopped working one day. It's also pretty stylish looking and matches our other appliances.

nice appearance, solid frame & door feel, so far no issues with uneven turntable. On the flip side the keypad is not as touch friendly as our previously similar priced GE model - need to press keys a bit to activate. Also we miss the one touch start (eg: press 1 to start at 100% for 1 minute) - perhaps there is some way to configure this - but GE was set up this way out of the box. Install was OK, but would be helpful to provide one sheet template for each surface as opposed to using both sides of one sheet to cover 2 surfaces. Maybe not an LG issue, but holes (top and back were too close to the previous GE holes) - so either standardize hole locations in the industry - or don't put your brand's holes within millimeters of your competitors. So maybe LG (a follower) could have done better on that front. We are satisfied, but NOT a perfect score

Nice appearance and easy to use. Light not that bright even on the high setting. Metal surface inside of microwave under turntable plate gets extremely hot with just light on high. Too hot for touch!!!

This over the stove compact microwave has the room of a large one. You can put fairly large dishes in it. I love how easy it is to use and that there is a variety of cooking options along with a light for your stove and a vent fan to draw out heat and cooking odors. Great product!

Sleek modern look and installed easily. Only down side is the 1-9 numbers for setting time. Because there are so many different auto choices, you can't just press 1 for 1 minute. (thus the 4 star rating) You must press 100 and Start. But all the auto choices are great once you get used to them.

Bought this for my parents. They love it. Looks good with other LG appliance. The touch buttons feels clean and good quality compare to some other brands plastic cover buttons. Easy to use and clean.

Very nice appearance, interior wipes up easily, runs quietly. The keypad responds to light touches which makes it easy to use. Multiple speed fan is much quieter than my old one. I still haven't figured out the different pre-set heating modes, but once I do, I'm sure they will be very handy. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Have had the new microwave for about 2 weeks now and am very happy with it. Have to adjust cooking times slightly, and learn the new codes, but it is fairly user friendly. The installation had some issues: the 1st crew didn't have the washers that would be needed to cover existing holes, plus the front of the vent over the unit had to be removed. So, they couldn't/wouldn't do it (issues with possible damage). So we removed the front outselves - no problem at all, but still had to reschedule for a later date for the installation. The next crew - even though I had asked them to bring the right size washers, and REMINDED the office the day before - they STILL arrived without them and had to create some with scrap metal. THEN they bumped the stove and set the protective blanket covering the stovetop on fire. Smell was awful for several days.

Lightning fried previous mircrowave circuit board so replacement was needed. Checked around but Best Buy was just that. Lower price on value priced microwave with decent features in a nice stainless steel finish. Plus, lowest install price as well. Other than waiting for shipping, no complaints. LG makes a nice microwave.

Upgraded all my appliances to LG stainless. Microwave is perfect size and is quiet. Has turntable and rack. I really like the energy saving display that turns off if not in use after 5 minutes. Takes two people to install but didn't have any issues.

Not much can be said about microwaves unless you get top of the line, which this isn't. Does it cook and heat perfectly? YES. Is it acceptably quiet? Yes. Is it easy to use? Yes. Would I buy it again? Absolutely! Does it Look good? Yes. So it does everything I asked for.

This over-the-range microwave is just right for our needs. It looks great and has worked perfectly this first four weeks of ownership. It has plenty of useful settings; but, not so many that it would feel more like programming the space shuttle rather than just heating up a frozen dinner.

Excellent microwave and excellent price. Over the range microwave was easy to install - much easier than anticipated. Microwave is very quiet when operating; has large turntable; 4 speed exhaust fan. A lot of "bang for the buck". Highly recommend!

The microwave has a number of great features and is an attractive addition to our kitchen. The installation service from Best Buy was fantastic - it was very difficult to remove the old microwave and put this one in; the installers spent a number of patient hours making sure all went well.

I love my LG over the range microwave! It has so many features and is very easy to use. The Manuel is so helpful in cooking different food items. It also looks great over my new LG slide in range.

Great value for the money. A couple drawbacks for an OTR microwave. The actual window of the microwave is a LOT smaller than what it initially appears to be. Once you have this mounted at an over the range height, you can barely see in unless your 7 feet tall. The same goes for the the display. You have to step back to see the display due to it being recessed a bit. If your standing too close, you can't see the display, but this is just a minor issue. I wish the lighting underneath was LED, but it's not. I was surprised at how hot the inside got after the light being on for only a little while. Still, a great value. Works very well.

Read reviews, looked at features and decided to buy this microwave. The keypad is different than our GE so it’s taking a bit of getting used to but has many features I never bothered to try on our others. We usually buy middle of the price range appliances. Some have features we never used on high end units. The reheat feature is great, especially to reheat pizza. Preset cooking menu is very useful, defrosting and cooking chicken is a great help when unexpected guests come at dinner time. I especially LOVE how easy it is to clean! No scrubbing, I just wipe it out quickly each time I use it. My only complaint is the viewing window on the door is so small I can’t see food as it’s progressing. If I were 3” taller no problem! I’m adjusti to that and letting the oven do it’s job.

Great product, easy to set up; size fit into the space perfectly . Easy to clean and looks stylish . Vents work really well . A little louder than expected when simply warming food, not a big deal for me.
