I deeply regret my purchase. The black glass on the appliance shows even the smallest stains from food steam, and it's extremely difficult to remove them. Although the stainless steel is supposed to be fingerprint-resistant, it only applies to the edges. The surfaces we use the most, such as the time and number settings, clearly show fingerprints. Overall, it's been a terrible purchase, and I regret it wholeheartedly.

I bought this product on October 18 2023, and installed it on December when my kitchen remodel was finalized, so even-though the purchase was 16 months ago the product only worked for 14 months. It was working great for one year until it suddenly stop heating two days ago. I reached out to LG and they offered to replace the magnetron, but I have to pay for the labor. LG authorized repair service quoted me $180 plus taxes (around $200) for labor.
It looks to me LG knows the magnetron on their microwaves will need replacement after a year of service, that is the reason for only a year warranty on labor.
I won’t be buying LG again, a microwave is supposed to last longer than 16 months.

Hi, Jorge. Thanks for sharing your experience on the LG Microwave (MVEL2033F) model. We understand your concern about your unit that suddenly stops working, especially after just 14 months of use. While we always strive for long-lasting quality, it's important to ensure the magnetron replacement is done properly, which is why we recommend the authorized repair service.
To potentially save on costs, we suggest checking if any additional warranty options are available to you through your retailer or credit card coverage. Also, you might want to ask if there's any flexibility on the labor charges or explore other service providers for a more affordable option. In the meantime, to obtain more information, you may visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-microwave-why-is-my-microwave-not-heating--1428511871544.

Hi, Joseph. Thank you for reaching out about your LG Microwave (MVEL2033F) model. We understand the importance of having your microwave installed correctly, especially when leveling affects both appearance and proper door alignment.
A helpful step you can try is to check the mounting bracket and upper cabinet screws, as even a slight shift in either can cause the unit to sit unevenly. Ensuring the rear bracket is fully seated and the top bolts are tightened evenly often corrects a crooked installation. You can also review LG’s installation guidance here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-MVEL2033F.BRSELGA. If you need further assistance, please send us an email at [email protected]. We're here to help. ^Juvy

I bought this microwave and had it installed. When I tried to register the warranty I realized that there was no serial number in the area that it was suppose to be. The area was blank. I contacted Best Buy and they said that I had to uninstall and take it back to the store for replacement. No offer from them to come and uninstall and replace the oven. Is this a hot product?

Great microwave easy to use . Very slick and attractive design. Definitely bigger then i thought it would be once I put in its place but fits perfect. The chimes that go off are pleasant,no loud irritating buzzer noise its a soft jingle that is almost nice to hear. When heating up food a nice white soft light comes on inside you can cleary see the food inside the microwave.

Standard size for above the range. I like the pocket in the side to open the door. The chime is pleasant. Sleek looking microwave. I live the combination of stainless and black, it goes with just about everything in my kitchen. Easy to use.I like the preset times for various meals.

Great microwave! Very pleased with the performance and ease of use. Looks great in my kitchen and is a perfect match to my LG stove.
The size is just what I wanted and allows me to cook in all sizes of dishes. The Black Stainless Steel is a great color and I love how it looks and it is easy to keep clean.

Stylish, Spacious, and Reliable Microwave Upgrade

I’m very happy with my LG 2.0 cu. ft. over-the-range microwave. The PrintProof black stainless steel finish is sleek, modern, and does a great job resisting fingerprints — it always looks clean. Inside, it’s roomy enough for large dishes and the EasyClean interior really does wipe down quickly.
Cooking performance is excellent. The sensor cooking option takes the guesswork out of reheating and defrosting — food comes out evenly heated every time. It runs quietly, and the ventilation fan and under-lighting work well over the stove.
I also appreciate the smart features, like ThinQ and scan-to-cook, though they’re not essential for daily use. My only minor downsides are that the touch controls aren’t backlit (hard to see at night), and setup with the Wi-Fi app wasn’t as smooth as I hoped.

We’ve been using the Frigidaire MVEL2033F built-in microwave and it’s been a great upgrade. It heats food evenly and quickly, and the power level is noticeably better than our old unit. The controls are straightforward and responsive, and the interior is easy to clean.
Design-wise, it looks very clean and modern once installed and fits perfectly in our cabinet cutout. The door feels solid, opens smoothly, and the unit runs relatively quiet compared to other microwaves we’ve owned.
Overall, this microwave does exactly what it should with no fuss. If you’re looking for a reliable, good-looking built-in microwave, this is a solid choice. Very happy with the purchase.

Had it for almost 1 1/2 years now and no issues so far. It's not a super high performer, so don't expect a large bowl of soup being hot in 2 minutes - but that's ok with me.
What I really dislike are those touch buttons. Being touchy as they are, and dark, and not outlined, I am many times either missing them, or touching them accidentally.
For example: Cooking big, guests are almost sitting down, rushing to get the last steps done including heating something up. Throwing it into the m.wave, quickly pushing the "fast 30sec" button 4 times ... and it registers only twice. Or: heating up milk, watching for the moment that it starts boiling with my thumb over the stop button ... suddenly m.wave stops because my thumb came too close.
Another annoyance is that pressing a number immediately starts the thing, so if I want 40s, I first need to find the secret Cook Time button.
