    Microwave seems to function fine but wifi connectivity doesn't add any apprent value. I bought an open box model, which BB claimed to be in excellent condition. It was supposed to contain all necessary parts but mine didn't include mounting hardware or 2 of the 4 filters that are needed. Either BB mislabeled their description of the item or this product doesn't come with mounting hardware.

    Pros - larger rotating tray Cons - control panel does not light up, so hard to see in dim kitchen lighting. Does not seem to heat evenly, but raising the item like on a box seems to help. Miss our Kitchenaid microwave ☹️

      Posted .

      Hi, there. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG Microwave (MVEL2125F) model. We’re glad to hear that you like the larger rotating tray, but we understand your concern about the control panel that is difficult to see, and the microwave doesn't heat evenly. We strive to provide reliable, high-quality products that exceed our customer's needs and expectations. Here are a few things that might help improve your experience: You could try adjusting the lighting in your kitchen, or use a small, bright light near the microwave to help illuminate the control panel. If uneven heating continues, we recommend checking the placement of your items on the rotating tray. Sometimes, heavier or larger items may not heat uniformly unless placed properly. Additionally, make sure the microwave is not overloaded, as this can also cause uneven cooking. For more help, you may visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-microwave-why-is-my-microwave-not-heating-properly--20153229630502. If these suggestions don’t resolve the issue, please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport, and we will be happy to explore other solutions or assist with service options.

      We appreciate your feedback, and we’re here to ensure that your experience improves moving forward. ^Juvy LG

    The extended vent is amazing. I really like this microwave. I find it irritating that turning on the stove turns off the light on the microwave but that is supposedly a safety feature. I love the microwave and tolerate the stove.
