LG 2.2 Cu. Ft. Black Stainless Steel ExtendaVent 2.0 Over-the-Range Microwave: With 1000W of power, heat your snacks and melt butter quickly in this over-the-range microwave, which features a 400 cfm exhaust fan with 4 settings for flexibility. A cooking light helps you keep an eye on your food.
The microwave itself is awesome. Working great! However, (I'm not sure who's fault it is? LG transfer, Best Buy Warehouse, or delivery guys. The box it arrives in has no damage, so probably not the delivery guys). I received the 1st microwave with the Face mashed in (not smashed, just mashed). I returned it and reordered. The 2nd one arrive. The Back of that one was bent and mashed also. And it had a fairly large dent an upper side in the crease from the top to the side. Having no microwave for another 7 - 10 days was not an option, so... I was able to hide the dent (mostly) and able to reinforce the rear so it would hang on the mounting bracket without fear of it to come crashing down.
Aug 31, 2018 17:57Fitted in space perfectly, love the fan speed options, programming menu temperatures
Oct 15, 2021 17:42Perfect fit and gave the kitchen a nice upgraded look.
Oct 29, 2021 15:59Measure the depth & height of your cabinets first. Only downside for us was it’s so deep that the fan can’t come all the way down because of the proximity to the elevated controls on the back of the stove
Jan 17, 2020 18:00We've had this microwave for a month now and love it. It was a lot easier to install than i thought it would be and looks great in my kitchen!
Aug 06, 2021 19:04I hate giving a low rating but we have only had this microwave for about 3 weeks and the display is already not working. We have always bought Whirlpool appliances and we have never had any issues but we wanted to give LG a try because they had a stove the we wanted. The other down side is we have to wait to have this microwave repair and we had it less then 30 days. Best Buy won’t help they told be to call LG.
Aug 15, 2021 09:45I love the look how display is at the bottom easy to use
Jan 04, 2021 09:26Microwave failed a week after installation. The cooling fans quit working and the oven overheated. It took new parts and 25 days to get it working properly.
May 28, 2019 01:55This LG LMHM2237ST over-the-range microwave features bilevel cooking that lets you heat up to 2 dishes at once. The ExtendaVent 2.0 system offers ventilation over the entire cooktop to quickly remove odors, and the EasyClean interior simplifies cleanup.

I love everything about this microwave. Rated excellent by consumer reports I decided to get this one and am glad I did. I like the sensor cooking/reheat option which I have used and it makes my food hot. The fans is great; however, I don't know if i'll ever use the high setting. It really blows a lot of air. Lights good, energy saver option to turn off the clock is great as I already have a clock on the oven below the microwave so I don't need 2. Easy clean interior is great too. I personally don't care about the dark door not being able to see in. I've always opened the door to stir or whatever anyway. I probably won't use the rack but it's nice to have just in case. The installers had to do some light carpentry to get it installed, but that's my cabinets being the issue not the microwave
Jan 23, 2017 14:34We've had this microwave for a couple of months now and it works great. This microwave is quiet and has a powerful fan (the fan is a little noisy which is to be expected). I love how easy it is to clean, however I do wish it was fingerprint resistant.
Nov 19, 2019 10:32In terms of performance, very good. The ``cheat sheet'' for settings on the frame are helpful and useful. I miss the express settings -- hitting `1' or `2' for instance for a 1- or 2-minute heating cycle -- on our old GE.
One MAJOR concern already, just two weeks into use, is that the numbers on the touchpad are already rubbing off and disappearing. (See photos: the ``2'' is half gone and it's supposed to say ``4 Speed'' under the word Vent.)
Nov 19, 2020 16:17The microwave was only installed a couple of weeks ago. So far it suits our need. We also purchased the LG stove at the same time
Jun 25, 2021 17:42Have used it a few times for vegetables, does a nice jog,
My only MINOR comment would be the size if the display. It is small compared to the display on the stove which is right under it.
I love the Black Stainless, can’t wait to get the matching refrigerator, which is out of stock.
May 21, 2021 16:10Was very surprise at the size of this microwave but I’m very happy with it. Large capacity, heats evenly.
Sep 03, 2021 21:24The LG over the stove microwave is Top Notch quality! Virtually fingerprint proof and never really gets food splashed inside. Easy to clean. With 4 teenage sons, it’s a miracle. Love it!
May 16, 2018 19:25Excellent product. Have purchased several LG appliances recently and am very pleased with them all.

Microwave works great and the extendable exhaust in the front works awesome. Prior LG Microwave exhaust didn't capture a lot of the steam coming off the stove and this unit works really well.
Feb 24, 2017 21:03The most idiotic redesign ever. The window in the revised version of this model, LMH2235ST, has been blacked out in the lower half of the door. It is impossible to see the food you're cooking! What the heck were they thinking??
Apr 10, 2015 21:45Recently had the opportunity to replace my 20 year old microwave, has it been THAT long already, and wanted to stay wit the LG brand as we've had great performance from other household appliances. This model does not disappoint. Installation was a breeze, though it is a tad heaver than previous appliance.
Once installed, the difference is immediate. Food is heated in a much shorter time period, the unit itself is very quiet and loaded with features, including the slide out exhaust fan, nice when all burners are going on the range top.
All in all, 10/10 on this unit
Last up is a replacement gas range, and the upgrades will be complete with a complete LG kitchen and laundry throughout the home.
Feb 14, 2018 12:04This microwave is so Sleek in design along with the push out vent that extends it over the range more then normal vent and sucks everything up.
Aug 24, 2019 14:29Had to replace an older version of this and we love it. Definitely not a completely quiet vent fan but still quieter thank others out there
Mar 06, 2020 18:55The microwave is very quiet and looks great! Worth every penny!
Nov 08, 2019 15:27We replaced a Kenmore elite model that was about 5 years old, it still ran but sounded like a train going through the house. We wanted something quite with comparable features. The LG was not the highest rated on Consumer Reports, but it more than exceeded our expectations. It is very quite and easy to operate. We installed our selves, but I would recommend having Best Buy install as it is very heavy and takes two or more to install and get right.
Dec 12, 2014 17:44Excellent microwave. It was fairly easy to install but I'm also a mechanic so this type of stuff is pretty easy for me. You definitely will need an extra hand when you are ready to get it hung.
Oct 17, 2015 19:08Save counter space by installing this LG over-the-range microwave. This microwave has eight auto-cook options to take the guesswork out of cooking times and 10 power levels to prevent overcooking. Take advantage of the removable wire rack in this LG over-the-range microwave to cook multiple dishes at the same time.
I like the ease of use, the power, the functions and the light. I do not care for the interior of the microwave. It is not practical to clean if you have children or anyone who doesn't properly cover items being cooked. It has tiny little holes on the top and sides of the interior for splatters to get inside. I have no idea how you would clean it if stuff ever got inside all those holes without disassembling your unit. My teenager is not allowed to use it without me seeing that what's cooking is properly covered. I would have never purchased this unit had I seen the interior but I bought it online instead of going to store. Great product if you can properly cover food to cook.
Jun 22, 2020 09:06it was very difficult to put this microwave over the stove, big headache! but once we figured it out, we were happy. it works great. heats up nice.
Jan 22, 2021 11:52We purchased the LG otr Microwave as a part of a 4 appliance upgrade for our lakehouse. We went from all white appliances to stainless steel and the kitchen looks brand new. The microwave performs well and seems very accurate in its readings. It performs as good as we hoped!
Apr 18, 2019 17:05I bought the same brand and product number years ago in white and the microwave was still working after 12 years. When I upgraded to stainless I stayed with what I knew worked!
Jul 18, 2019 08:59Let’s start at the beginning. (September) As with some of the other reviews I found this installation to be extremely difficult as the paper template was extremely poor. Drill holes were off, and making sure to focus my attention on the right lines and arrows as I prepared to attach the paper to the under side of my cabinet was a struggle.
Then (November), we used the microwave for two months and it stopped working. Just dead, no display, not lights, nothing. My power was fine, no tripped breakers and the outlet still provided power. I told myself that manufacturer defects happen and to just work through the warranty process. Well the warranty process was ridiculous as LG required the repair company to obtain parts from some international location that took weeks to get here.
Here we are beginning of May and the unit has again died in the same fashion. No display, no lights, NOTHING. I’ve placed a warranty ticket but I just want my money back. LG has a good thing with TVs but their kitchen appliances are for the birds!!
May 08, 2020 09:22I am very satisfied with my new microwave it works perfect hopefully I will not be needing another in a very long time.
Apr 27, 2020 20:51We were seeking an economical replacement for our 10-year-old, top-of-the-line GE Profile microwave that suddenly died: turn-table stopped rotating & it would no longer heat contents. Given that we didn't use all of the many functions in our previous microwave, we opted for a lower-end model without all the bells & whistles -- small mistake. We have since discovered how useful it is to have a "sensor" to determine when an item is heated, and the difference that truly "one-touch" power buttons make. Note: this model does NOT have a sensor that automatically stops heating when foods reach their desired temperature. (Reheating items is based on the item (dinner plate, muffin, etc.), which requires that YOU, the operator, have to estimate how long an item should heat. E.g., to reheat a dinner plate, you have to select "1-dinner plate," then push start -- not the same is simply selecting "reheat" regardless of what you're reheating. And, in our limited experience with it, the oven seems to over-heat items than would happen if it had a sensor.
This LG model seemed to meet our needs based on descriptions & reviews, and appeared to meet our anticipated usage requirements. Installation was not as simple as promised and, of course, installation holes didn't match those of our previous oven. Nevertheless, self-installation was manageable, if more time-consuming that expected.
Since we haven't had it very long, and were on vacation much of the time since acquiring it, I can't speak much to how well it functions or its long-term reliability. We do miss some features that were on our former GE Profile model (auto-night light, one-touch power settings, a couple of other "auto" buttons, and, of course, the sensor) and it seems to be noisier in operation. We've also noticed that the tinge of the the stainless steel is a tad "more orange" than our other appliances (except it does match our LG refrigerator). Otherwise, we expect it to do the job as intended - mainly reheat leftovers & warm-up beverages, while we wait to see if it is as reliable as our former one.
Oct 26, 2018 17:30Paper template included had under cabinet template and wall mount template were on the same piece of paper. Should be two separate paper templates. One drill hole was off by 3/4 inch. because of poor documentation this install took four hours instead of usual one hour. Flimsy quality, very loud fan, the light is dull and not adjustable.
Jun 19, 2019 10:37Behind the stylish, stainless steel exterior of this microwave oven lies a high-performance cooking machine. When it's time for cleanup, you won't spend hours scrubbing - LG's EasyClean™ interior comes clean with just a wipe, no scrubbing necessary.* And energy savings are made easy with the auto display turnoff system.
Roomy interior and heating food up. The only thing I dislike and it might be a pro for others is that when the cooking is completed, it will beep loudly every minute or so until you take it out. My old microwave only gave one reminder beep and then stays quiet.
Mar 14, 2021 10:09The person who installed the microwave was very nice. He asked me if he could drill holes in the tile if that became necessary, and I said yes. He said he had a diamond drill bit.
Everything went well. He explained the operation, cleaning & filters to me. Great job!! I love it!
Dec 11, 2020 16:33This microwave is virtually the same one as the one that decided to quit, a couple numbers newer. I really liked the one I had, plus it was built in and I wanted the same one to replace it. This one was exactly right, slid in perfectly.
Jan 29, 2021 22:26Bought this microwave open box ! No issues and matches our other appliances. Great deal ! Nice wide cooking room . Its very quiet.
Jul 08, 2021 14:10I had an LG OTR microwave like this one in black that died after 10 years. In the interest of being able to use the same mount plate I bought this one.
The fan on this one is much quieter, but my big beef with this iteration is that the got ride of the timer setting, otherwise it’s quite nice.
Jan 01, 2021 17:33Great product and super easy to clean. We are really happy with how well and evenly it heats
Jan 29, 2021 15:51Great over the stove microwave, fantastic price, contactless pick up was amazing!
Nov 16, 2020 07:21I loved my new microwave LG 1.7 cu.Ft it makes my kitchen Nice for Best Buy employees helped excellent customer service Thanks
Dec 11, 2020 21:32Quickly prepare a meal or snack with this LG LMV1831ST 1.8 cu. ft. over-the-range microwave that features sensor cooking with 7 options to ensure thorough heating. The EasyClean interior resists stains and simplifies cleanup.
Absolutely love the melt and soften buttons use them all the time for ice cream and cheese. The reheat sensor is a little too powerful or I haven’t gotten used to it, I usually stop it once it show seconds counting down. At that point the food is piping hot. Other than that it looks fantastic above the stove and the light isn’t too soft like others complain. You can always replace the range light with a brighter led one.
Aug 16, 2019 20:06Pretty easy to install; just make sure you have an extra set of hands for the mounting. Some other reviews state this microwave is loud; I haven't noticed. The fan works great so does the undermounted light. It popped the best bag of popcorn I have ever had and very easy to wipe clean. I don't have any complaints about this unit, though I don't know if I will ever use the rack that came with it. It matches my new LG double oven perfectly. :)
May 22, 2015 23:26I purchased this as an open box unit, overall this microwave is working pretty well, doesn't seems like this has too many fancy feature, great deal for the value.
Jun 25, 2021 12:19Solid microwave with enough options. The black stainless is our go to in our kitchen, with the best of both worlds and matches our stove/oven.
Mar 01, 2021 19:21We are very pleased with this replacement microwave. The finger print proof black stainless is great. It’s powerful and has many preset heating options.
Feb 26, 2021 16:28Great new Microwave to match my new LG Range. Replacing 17 year old appliances!
Jul 31, 2021 11:16Replaced an old under the cabinet microwave that had really needed to go. The handle was falling off and the turntable would no longer function. Beyond that, it simply looked old and outdated. I read quite a few reviews before buying. There were concerns about this microwave being loud, but my old one was louder, so I don't have an issue at all there.
I installed this one, with 1 family member, and it looks great.
I am room venting rather than externally venting, and didn't have much of an issue with the installation. The holes in the top are not symmetrical. I accidentally flipped the template they provided, and ended up having to cut a couple extra holes in the cabinet, but nobody else is going to know/see that.
The new microwave fit in perfectly and works well so far. I've only had it installed for about a month, but all is good so far.
I didn't have any frills on the my old microwave, and I don't have any concerns with the functions of this one. I don't really do any 1 button cooking. I set the time and power level for nearly everything I put in the microwave.
The appearance is a drastic upgrade from my old black version with the venting on the top front of the unit. The venting for this one is on top and far enough out from the cabinets above that I don't anticipate any concerns there. I don't use the fan or light on the microwave very frequently, like some who have complained do, and I'm not worried about either.
I got the microwave when they were having pretty good holiday sales, and I've been very satisfied with the purchase so far.
It looks so much better than my old option, both inside and out!
Jan 07, 2021 15:30I have had this microwave for about a month and the aesthetics are great. The functions are easy and does the job well.
Apr 16, 2018 00:55Take the guesswork out of cooking with LG's 1.8 cu. ft. over-the-range microwave. Sensor Cooking's humidity-sensing technology detects when foods are cooked and turns off the microwave to help avoid under- or over-cooked dishes. And when it's time for cleanup, you won't spend hours scrubbing - LG's EasyClean® interior comes clean with just a wipe, no scrubbing necessary.* Plus, Energy Savings Key saves energy by turning off the display when it's not in use. Dinner's never been so easy.

Apr 16, 2018 00:55With an EasyClean interior, this LG LMVM2033ST 2.0 cu. ft. microwave resists stains and easily wipes clean with a damp cloth. The 8 sensor-cook options use humidity-sensing technology to ensure prepared food is flavorful and fully heated.
About 8 months after we purchased this, we noticed little pieces of plastic falling off of the microwave, until the handle eventually fell off and then a big plastic piece at the top. Also, prior to all of this, there was on issue with microwave not starting. I would enter time the light would turn on and the clock would countdown, but the microwave itself didn't actually work. I would have to open and close the door several times before it would work. I don't use the microwave that often, so I am concerned that he would be falling apart this easily after suck little use. LG is having someone come out to repair and I am hoping that I just get a new microwave and we can chalk this one up to being some crazy fluke. <fingers crossed>
Sep 28, 2020 16:26I love the different look with all the controls across the bottom.

Nov 06, 2020 15:37This microwave isn't anything spectacular. It does it's job, but I'm not "wowed" by any of the features or performance. The bottom control feature is great, but I'm left wondering why LG didn't take the opportunity to use the portion to the right of the door for anything more useful than a blank, useless area. To me, making the entire front of the microwave the door would have been more appealing because then, the thing would look magnificent - even if the cooking space inside were the same size as it is already. As it sits, there's this large blank space where the controls would normally be, for no reason other than saving cost - I suppose.
The microwave works as it should. It features handy preset buttons for items like "MAC & CHEESE", "HOT DOG", and "CHICKEN NUGGETS", but they don't get much use because they instill no real confidence as opposed to just selecting the amount of time you want the microwave to, well, microwave whatever you put in there. If anything, I'm less confident in those presets because, well, it's a mystery how LG thinks a hot dog should be cooked as compared to 45 seconds of 1,000W worth of microwaving.
Nonetheless, the machine works well. The popcorn button is the only button I use that puts the "sensor" to use, the rest is the traditional select how much time and hit "go" process as it's been for the past 20 years - not much to "write home" about.
Feb 12, 2021 23:58Purchased this because of the key pad across the lower door and it provides more direct options. Options include turning off the rotating glass tray, helpful to allow an oversized dish. Sensor cooking is awesome. Easy clean interior is good, a little darker than a stainless interior, so lighting is not a good. Kinda hard to see the interior items. Easy to install and the recirculating fan is good. I don’t have a venting to exterior. The microwave is pretty quite and the has a fan sound when operating. Door positively latches. The clock is small and can be energy saver shut off when idle.
Apr 17, 2020 17:12Evenly heated food for about 1 week and then heating became uneven; noising and rattles; the worse issue is the plastic clip that holds the inside metal shelf melted. Why would the unit be designed so that a critical piece on the inside melts?
Mar 27, 2021 12:53Installed easily, looks good and works great. The only thing that needs improvement is a brighter interior light.
May 21, 2021 15:50I like this oven. I bought it open box - excellent condition. It had no issues but I noticed a small dent (not super visible) on the front. Otherwise, it’s pretty perfect. I like that the microwave buttons are on the bottom which is different. I’ll write back about 6 months to a year down the line to see if anything changes.
Jun 19, 2019 20:05Create meals in minutes with this 1000W over-the-range LG microwave oven. Its sensor cooking technology adjusts time and power settings to ensure foods are prepared correctly, and the turntable provides even heating. This 1.8 cu. ft. LG microwave oven has a touch display with automatic settings for frequently cooked foods.
Absolutely love the melt and soften buttons use them all the time for ice cream and cheese. The reheat sensor is a little too powerful or I haven’t gotten used to it, I usually stop it once it show seconds counting down. At that point the food is piping hot. Other than that it looks fantastic above the stove and the light isn’t too soft like others complain. You can always replace the range light with a brighter led one.
Aug 16, 2019 20:06Pretty easy to install; just make sure you have an extra set of hands for the mounting. Some other reviews state this microwave is loud; I haven't noticed. The fan works great so does the undermounted light. It popped the best bag of popcorn I have ever had and very easy to wipe clean. I don't have any complaints about this unit, though I don't know if I will ever use the rack that came with it. It matches my new LG double oven perfectly. :)
May 22, 2015 23:26I purchased this as an open box unit, overall this microwave is working pretty well, doesn't seems like this has too many fancy feature, great deal for the value.
Jun 25, 2021 12:19Solid microwave with enough options. The black stainless is our go to in our kitchen, with the best of both worlds and matches our stove/oven.
Mar 01, 2021 19:21We are very pleased with this replacement microwave. The finger print proof black stainless is great. It’s powerful and has many preset heating options.
Feb 26, 2021 16:28Great new Microwave to match my new LG Range. Replacing 17 year old appliances!
Jul 31, 2021 11:16Replaced an old under the cabinet microwave that had really needed to go. The handle was falling off and the turntable would no longer function. Beyond that, it simply looked old and outdated. I read quite a few reviews before buying. There were concerns about this microwave being loud, but my old one was louder, so I don't have an issue at all there.
I installed this one, with 1 family member, and it looks great.
I am room venting rather than externally venting, and didn't have much of an issue with the installation. The holes in the top are not symmetrical. I accidentally flipped the template they provided, and ended up having to cut a couple extra holes in the cabinet, but nobody else is going to know/see that.
The new microwave fit in perfectly and works well so far. I've only had it installed for about a month, but all is good so far.
I didn't have any frills on the my old microwave, and I don't have any concerns with the functions of this one. I don't really do any 1 button cooking. I set the time and power level for nearly everything I put in the microwave.
The appearance is a drastic upgrade from my old black version with the venting on the top front of the unit. The venting for this one is on top and far enough out from the cabinets above that I don't anticipate any concerns there. I don't use the fan or light on the microwave very frequently, like some who have complained do, and I'm not worried about either.
I got the microwave when they were having pretty good holiday sales, and I've been very satisfied with the purchase so far.
It looks so much better than my old option, both inside and out!
Jan 07, 2021 15:30I have had this microwave for about a month and the aesthetics are great. The functions are easy and does the job well.
Apr 16, 2018 00:55Reheat leftovers with this spacious 2.0 cu. ft. LG over-the-range microwave. It has eight different cook options and 10 power levels for precision cooking, and it has a rapid defrost feature for last-minute food prep. This LG over-the-range microwave uses sensors that automatically adjust the cooking time to ensure proper heating without overcooking.
About 8 months after we purchased this, we noticed little pieces of plastic falling off of the microwave, until the handle eventually fell off and then a big plastic piece at the top. Also, prior to all of this, there was on issue with microwave not starting. I would enter time the light would turn on and the clock would countdown, but the microwave itself didn't actually work. I would have to open and close the door several times before it would work. I don't use the microwave that often, so I am concerned that he would be falling apart this easily after suck little use. LG is having someone come out to repair and I am hoping that I just get a new microwave and we can chalk this one up to being some crazy fluke. <fingers crossed>

May 21, 2021 15:50Overall this microwave is great. I like the numbers and controls on the bottom, however, it leaves wasted space on the right side. It is large and fits square and round plates. The metal rack is useless.
Nov 22, 2021 16:55Combine microwave speed with oven performance with this over-the-range microwave that features convection technology for versatile preparation. Sensor cooking helps ensure perfectly prepared food.
Plastics break easily (shown in picture) and don't fit tight anymore. Control panel plastic latch does not hold panel in place, less that 1 year of use, just learned to leave with these
Apr 01, 2018 22:27Some nice new features, I like being able to turn the display off. Also like the taller convection rack, works better. Micro is more powerful even though watts are the same. Chime is soothing, not annoying like older model. Also some nice one-touch preset modes (love the "soften" and "melt" options.) Intuitive to use, nice prompts on display. Wouldn't be without one in our RV.
Mar 10, 2017 17:50Very good microwave. Plenty of functions and easy to use.
Nov 13, 2021 06:26What!! Microwave and convection oven!! What a great concept! Gone is the necessity for a double oven with this microwave/convection combo!! Works like a charm!
Nov 02, 2021 09:22The microwave is larger then I thought and the turntable.that can be turn on or off depending on the size of your dish or cookware. Besides the quick settings you have three option when cooking or reheating, sensor, convection and standard microwave. I wanted a Microwave but go so much more!
Jun 08, 2014 01:22I've had other brands of combination microwave / convection ovens before and have liked them much better. I primarily use it as a microwave. It doesn't do a lot of microwave things particularly well. Examples: (1) You cannot touch a number pad button (like "2") and get 2 minutes of microwave cooking. (2) The auto cook feature for commonly microwaved items doesn't have a guide (except in the instruction book). When you select that item, it only tells you to choose 1 - 6, but there's no indication what those selections are for (and no sticker in the unit with that information.) (3) There's no sensor re-heating for a beverage. (But there is a programmed item to melt marshmallows. Who needs that?) It is going to take A LOT of time with the user's manual to learn to use the appliance to reasonable proficiency. I expect to be able to do that without having to constantly look things up.
Oct 09, 2020 16:09Kitchen remodel and research led me to LG Kitchen suite and I needed a microwave that could double as an oven, because in all the double oven stoves, the larger oven is always at the bottom and when you have problems bending and lifting, things like a turkey or such other heavy things out of an oven, it does not work well. I also needed it to be a hood fan. This met the criteria and while I haven't yet used the convection part, I think it will fit what my needs are.
Jul 18, 2020 08:39Purchased this Convection Microwave so that I could use as an additional oven at home. Sadly, doesn't quite work as well as I would've hoped. Baking times when using convection oven if off and not consistent. Had I known and not already had it installed, I would've simply purchased the non Convection Oven version and wouldn't got it for significantly less. Oh well, lesson learned.
Oct 19, 2018 16:51LG STUDIO Over-the-Range Convection Microwave fits perfectly in every kitchen aesthetic. With remarkable speed and versatility, you can bake, roast and even brown faster than ever before. This microwave is a perfect marriage of high function and high design.
Great buy. Loved this microwave oven from the moment I saw it advertised. I received it a month ago and it shines great in my kitchen. I am afraid to convection cook for fear of getting it dirty. Ha!ha!
Mar 12, 2021 16:07This microwave looks good, BB delivered and installed without big issues. Bought it because it matches my fridge. Microwave seems to work ok. They advertise it as 1650 watts. Not sure how this is measured because my 10yr old 1000w microwave performed on par. If you put a cup of water for 1 minute in this thing, water will get quite warm, but not too hot to drink. Convection mode is lacking. What happens when you put a sandwich at 425 degrees in an air frier for 5 minutes? You get a toasty sandwich. What happens when you put the same sandwich at the same temperature in this microwave on convection mode? Your cheese edges melt a bit, but the rest of the sandwich stays cold. Will I send the unit back because of this? No, the thing is installed and I need a microwave anyway primarily, which works ok so far, but disappointing on other levels. This thing is overpriced, lets hope built quality is good, although as you can see from a pic door/body is a bit out of alignment, but not terrible; it just fit in the spot between cabinets. The guys scratched cabinets a little bit when trying to fit this in, but it is barely noticeable.
Jul 02, 2021 09:23I love the experience shopping with Best Buy however this microwave I give 4 stars there are too many steps to set the time on the clock my kenmore elite stopped working after 13 years and I brought this microwave because it had a stainless cavity and it was available immediately.
Aug 23, 2021 14:02I have had this microwave for a couple of weeks now, without any issues. There is a learning curve on this microwave, other than basic microwaving of turning the dial and pressing start.
The instructions are clear, but I do find myself still referring to them for certain functions. This is because I do not use all the other functions this microwave is capable of on a daily bases.
There is one complaint; I wish there was a back lighting on the push pads. I fear the white lettering might wear off over time.
Aug 22, 2020 09:23LOVE this new microwave although the learning curve was steep. I did not find the manual as helpful as a couple of YouTube tutorials. Then, I just played with the buttons and settings. I still need to master the convection settings, but have not needed those yet.
Jan 01, 2021 16:13Love the options and ease of use. Looks great and classy
Nov 05, 2021 15:57This item is made of high quality material and engineered very professionally with a lot of features , this works perfectly fine and easy to use, high wattage make it work done faster than the other microwave /brands. Happy To Bought it.
Jul 16, 2021 16:02I found the sales person to be very knowledgeable --patient-
and a pleasure to do business with .
