Customer Ratings & Reviews

Perfect addition to the rest of my new LG appliances. It works great so far, has a pleasing chime when cooking or timer is done, and has, because who can be bothered with manually opening a door in 2022, a button to auto open the door! The 'pro' to that button is that the chime is silenced as soon as you push it - not so with manually opening. The front view appearance is quite sleek since the number pad buttons are only accessible after opening the door, which I'm getting more used to every day honestly. Since it is shorter in height, meaning the actual bottom of the unit sits several inches above other OTR units, it opens up a lot of visible/working space between bottom of it and top of stove. Likely you to will want to add or extend existing backsplash to cover up holes in the wall from the previous unit (I'm doing a simple $50 piece of stainless from a big box diy store). Lastly, it is a bit more of a reach to insert or remove items due to its increased height - so additional care with hot liquids for sure. If you nuke items in tall containers often, this isn't for you, but reheating leftovers, frozen Veestro dinners, boiling water in a 2-cup measuring cup and the like + you're not overly height challenged - it's an awesome microwave.

This is by far the best microwave I have owned! It has so many useful features. I particularly like : food sensing, multiple mode fan and light level, the welcome and enjoy message ( cute) , low profile, and so many preset food cooking options. It sits beautifully above the range with great space between the two. Love this black stainless steel material

Great microwave oven. Saves space in a small kitchen like mine. It is big enough to warm up a casserole. Nice Soft sounding bells. It would have been absolutely perfect if the under the oven light, above the range was brighter, As it is I use a lamp on the side of the stove.

Replaced my standard size over the oven microwave with the Whirlpool. Easy to install as the template for marking the holes is actually the mounting bracket itself which is metal. No measuring or working with a paper template. The micro wave is great, 4 fan speeds and the low one is not that loud. I typically do not used the fan as I have a built in in-line fan in my duct work. The oven controls are simple and when the timer goes off it is not that loud, but noticeable. You can set the level. The only consideration for not getting the micro wave is I have mine mounted to the cabinet which is high and at 5' 9" i can just see the food I put in the microwave to heat. Any higher or a shorter person would not see the food as it is heating. Contrarily to another reviewer, the light on the bottom of the microwave lights up my entire cook top, not the back wall as the reviewer describe with a picture. So this is a great microwave if you want a low profile one. No cons for me. I have used the microwave for about 2 months, so far so good. I like having the controls in the inside of the door where it is not noticeable.

loved the ease of insulation. the microwave performed better then i expected. i would recomend this product to anyone looking for a top quality microwave with the bonus of five inches of additional space over your stove top.

This microwave is a great addition to the small space we have above our stove. It’s quiet and spacious. It took some getting used to for the button placement but it’s light and fan work well and I highly recommend anyone buying this that has a small space to place it. Installation and placement were also easy.

At first it was hard to get use to the new profile of the microwave compared to the old one we replaced. The new microwave saves space and is very quiet. It heats food evenly and is easy to use. We should have replace the old microwave sooner.

I purchased this open box microwave because I needed a brand that would last longer than my last LG 2 ft.³ microwave. (It lasted only 29 months) This unit is the smallest microwave @ 1.1 ft.³I’ve ever purchased in terms of size. I’ve only had it a couple days and I really really like it. It is very quiet when it runs. That’s a major plus for me.

The low profile means A LOT more space between the cooktop and bottom of the microwave. The microwave itself works great. The inside has plenty of space to cook in. The fan has 3 speeds and very quiet. The light shining on the cooktop could be a little brighter.

Purchased this microwave because we did not have enough room for a full size microwave under our cabinets above the stove top. We previously had just a hood vent over the stove top and then a countertop microwave. I wanted to free up some countertop space and get rid of our ugly hood vent. This was the perfect solution. This is the best microwave I have owned and is the perfect size! I think its low profile size makes it really nice to look at and it microwaves everything that we need perfectly. I have not had a problem with trying to microwave something that would not fit in here. The microwave was a little expensive but Whirlpool is the only brand I could find with an over-the-range microwave hood combo in this compact size and in stainless steel. I would definitely buy this again and have no regrets.

The slim form factor gives me much more room over the cooktop which makes a huge difference. I have yet to miss the room of a full-sized microwave. It may actually perform better than my previous full-sized microwave.

Love this microwave! Installation was pretty straight forward and easy to do. The microwave is the perfect size for smaller spaces, but excellent functionality! Easy to use and understand. I like that you can push a button to open the door without getting it dirty. Only drawback was after install the stainless steel trim was rubbing when opening and closing, but was fixed by simply pushing it back. Made it feel a little cheap in that respect. I would still recommend this microwave for sure!

I like it. I have a small kitchen and the others would have looked to bulky, this fits great, very sleek with the low profile. I was worried about the cubic space but it is is better than I thought.

Love our new microwave!! Light and fan really add to my cooking area. Sleek look makes our kitchen look bigger. Very happy with its performance and easy to use. Sensor cooking works great for leftovers.

I replaced the old vent hood with this microwave oven. This unit is a little bit deeper than the conventional over the range microwave ovens, but the height is less. You can replace easily the Vent Hood with this unit without need to change the cabinet.

Had been using LG microwaves for quite a few years. Renovated a tiny house and needed a slim low profile microwave that was very intuitive and easy to use. This unit fits the bill! The touch sensors are very accurate, the sounds of the unit when it notifies you, are very pleasing to the ear. But most importantly, the unit functions beautifully, and seems to heat the perfect cup of coffee in less time than my other microwave. I love the automatic door open feature, which helps when you’re preparing things and may not have a free hand. Highly recommend it.

Low profile met our need. Plenty of room. Quiet. Excellent filters, overhead lights, moisture sensor. Timer buzzer is high pitch and faint, even on Hi setting (I cannot hear it!) Using separate magnetic kitchen timer that meets the need.

This thing looks good, but it does not work very well. Center part of the food is cold when the outer parts are hot. The alarm is not audible to older people as it is very soft and tinny. The fan is strong, but there are leaks around the case which I had to put duct tape over. The controls are horrendous: While changing the clock, if you don't press the button in 2 seconds it immediately saves the clock, so I had to go through the stupid menu 5 times just to get the clock set.

I love the compact look of this microwave. It is big enough but not to big. Easy to clean and operate. The price was affordable and was easy to install.

Meets all the requirements necessary to fit a microwave and exhaust into a smaller space. Very quiet and good looking. The exhaust fan is a little loud but not bad for this size unit. I would definitely buy it again and again.
