The LG above the range microwave oven is a nice improvement to my kitchen. The extendable exhaust hood makes a difference when cooking to exhaust food odors out of the house. The one major room for improvement related to installation is to replace the paper template with a rigid template such as a cardboard template. I had to use wood filler on the drilled cabinet holes due to the template not being accurate.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a sleek nice microwave. The command buttons are digital and disappear when not in use - only clock display remains on -- which adds to the shiny and clean appearance. I really like the quick reference guide for commands/cycles found inside when door is opened. The only suggestion I have: 1. The view window is too high - I am average height of 5'5"" and I still have to get on tippy toes to see inside microwave. Recommendation to LG: lower the window in order to view inside more comfortably. (Note: anticipating to receive a sweepstakes entry for review)

I have used this LG microwave about a month now and am so happy this is the one I went with. It was a learning experience for me as my old one was 20+ years old with not as many features. I like everything about this LG and love the exhaust feature that can be made to extend out over the stove a bit with just one little push on the housing. There are 4 filters which is great also. I do wish the letters were a easier to see.

I needed to replace our "over the range microwave vent hood" and searched out several different brands and decided to purchase this LG model. The extend a vent is really what caught our attention as it could possibly help keep steam from rising up onto our cabinets above. So far it has worked great. The only recommendation I have is to print the mounting diagram on heavier weight paper. It was very difficult for one person to hold flimsy paper and tape it in location for the mounting holes. Possibly print it on the cardboard box if you could.

So far I am very impressed with a microwave. The extended vent feature is great and not sure why this wasn't always one. Works great with any oven. The large inside capacity is great too. Still trying to figure out how to light up the buttons without opening the door. The LED oven light makes a huge difference, our previous model was very dim. The slim design is very appealing and I really like the no handle feature. I really have nothing bad to say about it. Looking forward to many years of use.

We purchased this directly from LG, and delivery was fast. After much research, we decided LG in black stainless was just the ticket. Most over the range microwaves we’ve had in the past have been nothing to write home about. Not this one. The super clean design, no clunky handles, the nifty extend a vent feature, ease of use, and quiet functionality make this a winner. We’ll try the ThinQ features at some point. It’s great modern addition to our kitchen that looks great with our new LG induction range, both in black stainless. The rest of our kitchen is not worthy, we’ll need to remodel.

I bought it 6 weeks ago to replace my old microwave . The LG was very attractive and promising so I bought it and after the time I have enough experience to share with potential buyers. One of the best features is the ExtendaVent which almost doubles the size of exhaust fan effective area removing the moisture and smells from cooking on the stove with high efficiency and low noise levels, its genius and rare function and actually works great. Multiple fan speed settings are helpful also. The look is very modern and clean, LED lights works well. It would be the dream microwave but there is one really annoying problem. All the controls are hidden under black glass door and practically invisible until they lightup and to get them glowing need to either open the door or touch some of the invisible buttons!! It’s ridiculous that there is no ON button or ON spot glowing all the time as the clock for example ,is on and glowing displaying time 24/7 . So if you want to turn light over the stove or turn the exhaust fan or even turn on the microwave to for example heat up food you already placed in earlier you need to open the door or randomly touch the glass door to turn the illuminated controls ON . Usually when you cooking your hands are not perfectly clean and dry so realistically you have to clean the microwave door every time you touching it allover to find the hidden controls. Its so inconvenient that I really want to replaced the microwave with different one. Hard to believe that otherwise almost perfect product can be turned down by something little and stupid but very important on other hand. The person who designed the extended vent is a genius but the person who forgot about ON button should be fired on the spot.

Love the many baking features on the oven and how the stovetop heats up fast. Dissapointed with the air fryer. 1st of all it does not come with a drip pan which is a must for air frying. Also it does not cook meat on time with the set heat. My smaller air fryer still beats it by far and cooks as described with the cooking directions.

Like everything about it except finger prints on the glass front when you try to find control s.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works well. Softening butter mode actually works. Defrost sucks and cooks frozen chicken edges but don't they all.
