Customer Ratings & Reviews

My old LG OTR microwave was nearing end-of-life. Well over 15 years old and suffering years of abuse from ham-handed teenage boys (now adults), the door handle had been superglued together at least 3 times and the keypad was delaminating from the front panel. I selected this new model because it had most of the features of my old one, it's the same size and power, and it didn't have a handle to break! At pickup the BestBuy associate was very friendly and helped me load the microwave into my car: a very pleasant experience. My son helped me install the new microwave onto the previously installed wall bracket. (Thanks LG for retaining essentially the same mount design for all these years! If it isn't broke don't fix it.) Installation was relatively easy. OK, now that it's installed, it works pretty much like the old one, with a few menu changes that we got used to pretty quick. That's fine by me! Only two very minor complaints. The door is full width, about 6 inches wider than the old microwave door, so opening the door is a bit more drama than before. I have to move my head out of the way! Also, while the black glass front looks great, the control panel is nearly illegible in low light conditions, so good luck sneaking into the kitchen late at night to warm up a snack without switching on the lights! It looks great and it cooks food, what more can I ask?

I purchased this LG microwave about a month ago, and we absolutely love it! It heats food quickly and evenly, and the design looks great in our kitchen. The controls are easy to use, and the interior is spacious enough for all our needs. It’s also quieter than our previous microwave, which is a nice bonus. So far, it’s been reliable and works perfectly. Definitely a great purchase—highly recommend!

We installed the oven ourselves (we’re definitely not handyman pros), and it was actually pretty easy — especially after my wife convinced me to use the provided template to drill the holes instead of eyeballing it. We’ve had it for about a month now, and it works great and does everything we need (and more). My only real complaint is that you can’t set heating intervals shorter than 30 seconds for small amounts of water. You have to start it for 30 seconds and stop it manually, which basically means staring at the timer like you’re watching TV.

We are thrilled with this microwave. Our old GE had a handle that was starting to peel from the heat rising from our cooktop. This has no handle and looks perfectly sleek. It is also more powerful than our previous microwave so it heats faster. We also love that we can set cook time to exactly the seconds we want, as opposed to being limited to increments of 15 seconds. I had read that the fact of the front not being backlit was annoying, but I have no need for backlighting on this. I guess if you wanted to operate the microwave in the dark it might become an issue, but who does that? Definitely five stars.

Excellent microwave. Very easy to use. I really like the fact that it has a contemporary, sleek, seamless design without a door handle. Very complimentary to the new LG gas range purchased at the same time. Because it's located above the range, the food that's cooking can't really be seen and it took a while to get used to the large door.

So far, I love this microwave. It’s easy to use. I like that. There’s instructions on the inside of the door that makes it user-friendly. It’s a sleek design very clean and I’ve already had a few compliments and most have noticed there’s no handle so it really is a nice looking unit.

It's a sharp looking and efficient microwave. I like that I can sync it with my cooktop to turn the fan on automatically if I want. I love that the fan has four speeds and is relatively quiet (at least compared to my old one). So far, the touch screen works well, even when damp. My only real gripe so far, is that popcorn is a pain to dial in. The popcorn button burnt it, and even the listening method left some of the popcorn a little burnt.

Love the look and performance of this microwave. It's sleek and has so many great features. My pizza even comes out crispy when I use the reheat function. So far, it's a win.

This microwave really updates our kitchen in design. It has lots of functions that have been helpful and easy to figure out. The installation went very smoothly.

I love the microwave. It’s easy to use and it’s very sleek.

We are slowly transitioning to stainless steel LG appliances and we couldn't be more excited. The best thing about this unit is the features you get at this price point. Also, I love that it is 2.0 cu .ft. LG has high quality appliances and the added look of this particular microwave is just what my kitchen needed. Very happy with it.

Looks great and functions really well. This microwave oven is quiet and has a very good above range multi speed fan. One touch minutes start is nice and the tones it makes to alert when food is ready are nice. We really like the easy to clean single piece door.

Love everything but the light that lights up the stove top. This light in my old microwave was a cool LED light. This light appears to be an incandescent bulb. When using it to light up the stove top, the MW actually gets warm close hot inside of it. Will probably change for a cool LED more efficien light, if possible!

Very happy with this microwave. It integrates with Alexa very well, allowing you to turn on the stove light or fan by voice command, and if you leave the room while cooking something in the microwave, Alexa will announce when it's done and the food is ready. The capacity of the microwave is excellent. The only complaint is that the built-in stove light isn't very bright - but no problem, I went online and found a super bright LED replacement bulb that you just pop in place of the original bulb and now the stove light is super bright.

Finished a kitchen remodel in September so have been using this for about three months now. First, here’s my take on THE FORM: Sleek, contemporary design from the front. I like that it has a notch on the side rather than a clunky handle. My biggest peeve is that BB or LG doesn’t show or mention that the bottom has a slope/angle which is super annoying when you’re trying to line everything up with upper cabinetry…so despite giving my contractor the listed dimensions, the overall height stated is actually at the very back of the microwave. But because there’s a slope, the front height is actually shorter than listed, so there is a visible angle and the front of the microwave does NOT line up to the bottom of my new upper cabinets. See photos. THE FUNCTION: Roomy interior, convenient one-touch buttons. Our previous LG microwave allowed you to add extra time as needed if you happen to leave (or usually in my case FORGET) your food inside…this one makes you open the door first before being able to add any additional seconds/minutes. So that part is annoying too. Venting seems to be adequate. Pretty to look at, but needs improvement. I’m a little torn on whether or not I would recommend it…if you’re ok with some of the quirks, then it’s a cool looking microwave.

This microwave is just awesome! LOVE that there's no handle to crack/break after a few years. We've had this happen with 2 previous ones. The inside seems huge and is so easy to keep clean. I love how sleek the front is and how intuitive it is to use. My elderly parents had no problems using it when they came to visit, which is a big deal because anything electronic is challenging for them. Installation was straight forward and the templates were easy to use. I would highly recommend this microwave!!

Very sleek design ease of operation new exposed handle it looks like I have a television in my kitchen. It’s so fabulous. The cooking cycle has a cute little musical tone when it’s over, but it really cooks. Great so many preset options. Spacious 2 cu interior

Like this microwave. LG products are very reliable. Very easy to use. Easy to clean. Looks good in my kitchen. Lol

Very nice microwave. It's very sleeking looking and works great. It's a microwave and it heats food. We don't cook in it and only use reheating food. But it works well and recommend it. But don't use the best buy installers. I had to uninstall it and fix their poor install.

So far I'm pretty happy with this microwave. Install was a breeze as long as you've got some basic tools. Also, plan to have someone around to help hold the microwave on the back plate while you install the top mount screws. I really like the design of it, especially the hidden handle pocket on the side. It gives it a modern, sleek look to it. I'd highly recommend it if you can catch this microwave on sale.
