The surface of the slide-out hood has a defective painting. Basically, the paint peeled off. Please take a look at the pictures I've attached. Note, this is not a mechanical damage! The paint was removed during the regular cleaning by a simple kitchen sponge.

ExtendaVent is a gimmick. I bought this LG microwave because I thought the ExtendaVent is a brilliant design. After installing the microwave and using it, when you open the ExtendaVent, the suction is so weak that you don't even see any smoke being vented out. The only way for Smoke to be vented out is when you close the ExtendaVent. This design is a total gimmick, please do not buy this microwave for the ExtendaVent.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very impressed with this microwave, more than I expected. Most microwaves work the same and this one functions as it should but better. I love how the screen lights up when you use it and is dark when it is not used. I am extremely impressed with its exhausting ability. I can't stop recommending microwave to friends and family.

As a microwave, this works very well and has some very nice features that others have mentioned. I will add the not-so-nice things that I have not seen mentioned in other comments: - The vent trip piece is plastic. The trip on the oven door is stainless and scratch resistant, but not the vent. See my photos of the scratches on the vent from day one. I don't know if those were there from shipping (I didn't look that closely until after I had it installed as I thought it was stainless, also) or from me installing it, but it's really ugly and subpar that in zero hours of use, I have these scratches. Really poor quality in materials selection, LG. - Why can I not turn off the ":" and WiFi indicators on the screen? I can turn off the clock, but the ":" still displays. There is no way to turn off the WiFi symbol except to disable the WiFi. I don't understand this. The face of this oven would be so clean without these nasty icons on. As it stands, - When using the light (or, in my case, the nightlight feature), the screen/keypad stays illuminated. Why? Again, a nice face is ruined by lighting everything up. I'm really ticked off that the plastic is scratched, and LG really cheaped out on that aspect of build quality. These other issues could be fixed with a software update, but I suspect, based on other interactions I've had with LG, they won't be, as they don't care about their customers once they have their money. But if others are turned off by this, now you know!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love our microwave oven! The selection of presets is good. The slide out fan extension works great at extracting fumes from the front burners on the stove. Only problem is getting connects to WiFi. Still toying with that….

Love the smooth look of the front of the microwave. The unit looks very nice with the hidden handle in the side. Cooking works nice with chimes when the cooking is done. If you have a matching LG oven you can program the vent fan to turn on with the stove top controls. The extended vent is nice and should help keep moisture from the front of the control panel. Only issue is I had to have the extended vent portion replaced after 3 weeks. It has a very cheap latching mechanism that I don't expect to last for a long time. I've had similar issues as other reviewers that you have to tap the front or open the door to see the controls

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best over the stove/oven microwave I've seen. I love that it extends over the stove if you are frying and need to pull up the smoke and fumes with just a push of the bar. The fan is strong, the lighting is nice as it brightens up gently and is bright enough to see the stove top well.

We purchased this microwave as a replacement for our old one and to match our new LG range top. It was well worth the buy. We are very satisfied with the performance, and how it complements our new LG range top. We love all the flexibility it has. If you're looking for a new microwave with a lot of modern technology, I recommend this one and the functionality is great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the features of this microwave. The vent system is far superior or previous models and controls on the bottom of the door are much easier to read for us 'shorter' people.

Bought this microwave specifically for the vent to use while cooking and it broke within 6 months. LG repaired it at no cost, but now it’s making an odd noise and I am not convinced it’s going to last.
