I bought this microwave/vent to put over my range because it had 2 speed and charcoal filter for the hood fan. What I found out is that it does almost nothing as a stove vent! I had LG come look at it thinking it was malfunctioning. They said it does not vent the stove. Only the inside of the microwave Rip off.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a beautiful, streamline, upgrade replacement addition to our kitchen. I was happy to see that this new model Microwave installed in minutes without having to redrill any new holes in the cabinet above for the power cable and 2 overhead bolts that secure the unit over the range. Even the wall bracket that the back of the unit hangs on to, happen to be in the exact place where it needed to be. Hard to believe that this new unit utilized the same wall bracket in the exact location it needed to be in and the above cabinet holes from the prior LG microwave, which was 14 years old were exact. Installation was 20 minutes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my LG built in microwave for over a month now and we are very impressed and happy with the selection we made. The microwave is easy to use, does the job the way we expected and installation went smoothly.

I had to replace an expensive microwave because with the money i paid it only lasted 2 years, i looked for just the features that i would use and this LG has really exceeded my expectations, i love the stylish design and fits perfectly and looks great in my kitchen, not only that but the performance is exceptional! I use it everyday now and the light is perfect, the fan is not loud and makes my food just the right temperature! I am SO in love with this microwave! Definitely more stars than 5!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The MVEM1825F Over the Range Microwave is good, bringing additional settings that my family finds helpful. However, I am not a fan of the auto-cook feature that starts when you press a number between 1 and 6. I wish this was a two step process to increase safety and flexibility; perhaps using an Auto-cook button followed by my 1 through 6 minute choice. This would make Time-cook easier as well, which is a feature I lost from my last LG over-the-range microwave. I also am disappointed that LG chose to decrease the microwave cook chamber depth and increase the the cook chamber width to maintain the overall cubic volumn. This also shows up with the much smaller (now 12.5in from the old 14in) turntable. Now I have 6 inches of unusable width (3in on either side of the turntable) cook chamber space. Sure, LG will tell me I can use that space by shutting off the turntable, but that creates more problems cooking food than is solves. I'll make it work, but I'll be looking for better options next time. NOTE: I am forced to accept the "I received this product free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion and would like to receive a sweepstakes entry for my review.", but it isn't true. I DID NOT received this product free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion. I received an e-mail asking for an honest review with the bonus of a sweepstakes entry for my review.

I have never had to read a manual for any appliance in order to use it. Well, as they say - There's a first a time for everything! It's not a bad thing that I had to read the manual to know how to operate it but it was kind of funny. Now as for the appliance itself. It works great. I think that is the bottom line here. Yes, it looks great. Yes, it is easy to clean - hey that's a big deal! - but in reality what I need it to do is work and work well and turns out it does. Even if I did have to read the manual to be able to get it that way!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not generally a fan of over the stove microwaves, but I really enjoy this one! Its musical tones at the finish of a cooking cycle make me smile! Having a “popcorn” button that “senses” is great. So far, we are loving it!

This is a replacement for our 5 year old LG OTC microwave. I feel that the control system is not nearly as functional or intuitive as it's prior iteration. Why do I have to press cook time to set a 1 1/2 minute time cycle. I wish there was a way to go back to the old controls. If I try to defrost something, the readout tells me I am cooking, not defrosting. This is confusing and misleading. This is not progression it a regression of a perfectly fine operating system.

We bought an LG Microwave one month ago and we are very happy with the purchase. I do like the NEW low profile microwaves on the market; however, they are much more expensive for "less" space. Let's hope this product is built to last like our other LG appliances!

I gave this a 4 only because of the delay in delivery. I was promised a date and that’s what I based the purchase on and it was then delayed. We were without a microwave longer than we wanted. We had all LG appliances in our 2nd home and loved them. So far we are very well pleased with the new microwave.
