The microwave is awesome. My family likes it, black and beautiful. Easy to operate, less noise, roomy. Great features

This solved an issue that annoyed my wife with the one it replaced, and that by itself made this one a good purchase. It is an elegant addition to what is becoming an all-LG kitchen. It is big, powerful, and easy to keep clean. I don’t use the extended vent much, but it's nice having it. LED lighting inside and underneath is very good. It's loaded with cooking features. If I'd change anything, it would be to have a lighted keypad.

Simple to operate. I like the extend a vent feature to cover the range better. Works like most other microwaves. Plenty of features that add to its value like + 30 seconds, more modes to name some. Got it on sale too!!

Only had it for about 2 weeks, but so far so good. Its stainless steel. It microwaves stuff. All's good! Seriously though, seems like a solid microwave from one of the better brands. What sold me was the extendable vent underneath it, so it covers more of the oven below it. Some interesting features if you want to put it on your wifi and if you have an LG wifi range, but dont use it. Buttons have nice feel to them, seems powerful enough and plays a nice tune once done.

So easy to use for elderly parents and I love the slide out extension for the vent fan. In the future we also have the option of turning this into an exhaust to the outside with this particular model

I am absolutely blown away by the incredible performance of this microwave! It's like a culinary superhero, cooking and reheating food to perfection in mere seconds. The sleek design and intuitive interface make it a breeze to use, and the various cooking settings ensure that even the most delicate dishes are cooked to a precise and delicious finish. Whether I'm whipping up a quick breakfast, reheating leftovers, or cooking a frozen meal, this microwave has exceeded my expectations in every way. The even heating, rapid cooking time, and effortless cleaning have made it an indispensable addition to my kitchen. If you're in the market for a new microwave, look no further - this one is a game-changer!"

Finally a real working venting solution for the over the range microwave hood vent combo. The pull-out vent efficiently draws up and away the steam and odors from the front burners as well.
The microwave is easy to use and powerful. The design is clean and modern. Life’s Good, thanks LG!

I had a very basic Samsung microwave that started smelling like components were melting down, so this was definitely an upgrade. Aesthetically, it is a pleasing design. I prefer the side panel control so I'm happy with that. I've used just a few of the reheat pre-programmed settings but find I like that feature as it cooks the food more evenly than just reheating on 100% power. The extendavent is a bonus, particularly because this is a large microwave and there isn't a great distance between the bottom of it and the stovetop. I purchased in black stainless. LG's black stainless is more of a smokey grey which seems unique to this brand based on the other black stainless I checked out. Now let's see if it withstands the test of time.

Fantastic looks, easy installation (assuming you know how to remove your over-the-range old microwave), and just enough advanced features for more convenience than my ten-plus-years-old microwave. The musical chimes after finishing the cook are the only negative spot (what's wrong with a simple beep?) but even those can be disabled if desired.

Solid feeling door and sleek looking, I’m happy with this purchase. I also like how the vent expands to cover the whole cooktop and then easily stows back away. This is especially important if you’re using a gas stove so you can properly vent the fumes.
I’ve also found that this is the only microwave I’ve ever used where the sensor cooling (or reheating) actually works!

Great for Big Dishes, Full Ventilation. One Quirk

I recently installed the LG 2.1 cu. ft. Smart Over‑the‑Range Microwave and overall I’m quite pleased. The 2.1 cu. ft. capacity gives ample space for larger plates and dishes.
The ventilation system does a strong job extending across the cooktop and capturing steam and odors more effectively than typical models.
It also offers smart options and sensor cooking, which simplify everyday use.
One caveat: the auto-defrost feature hasn’t worked reliably for me so far — I’ve had to manually intervene and set times frequently.
In sum: great choice for size, quality and ventilation — just check the defrost behavior to make sure it works for your use case.

This is an excellent investment in a well-made microwave loaded with features. I'm so happy I purchased this. Also, I want to mention that it is well worth the investment to purchase the Geek Squad protection along with this. I love this so much I purchased a new LG gas range to go along with it. I highly recommend this to others seeking to invest in a high-quality product packed with features. An excellant investment.
