    This is a powerful microwave. Has many options. It has a section on the front that slides out to almost directly over front stove burners so when one of the 4 fan speeds are turned on steam is sucked completely. This is the only one on the market, I think, that has this feature. The only improvement would be to have the buttons illuminated.

    I love this microwave. I didn't particularly need a new microwave but wanted to update it to go with my new LG double oven since I received a $100 discount if you purchase 2 or more appliances. I am so happy that I did. This has way more room, easier to clean and heats evenly. Highly recommend.

    Delivery from Best Buy was painless and on time. Installation was not difficult and operation is wonderful. Still not sold on the WiFi connectivity but it does add a few nice features. The wide array of sensor settings seem to work very well.

    This microwave is exactly what we were looking for. During these holidays, its fan prevented the smoke detecting machines to go off throughout the entirety of our 3-hour span cooking. It also reheated our foods evenly in the plate (not just the bottom part). Overall, very happy with our purchase.

  • Visually clean looking design

    I recently upgraded our kitchen appliances and decided to get a nice microwave. The great thing about this microwave is that it looks like one solid piece of glass. The backlit buttons fade after a short timeout, creating a look that looks clean. There are no visible handles on this microwave, but there is a spot to open from the side. Personally, I've never seen a microwave like this and had to try it.

    Sadly, returned this beautiful appliance as my cabinets are too narrow for the space needed. lesson here for potential buyers to measure depth, height and width of your space before ordering.

    Microwave does its and ventilation does its job but once the ventilation range hood expands further it does not retract so now I have to call the geek squad to get it serviced and it’s only been less than a month… wow LG products
