What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the microwave's sleek, handle-free design and modern stainless steel finish that enhances kitchens. Reviewers consistently highlight quick, even heating and intuitive controls that start with just time entry. The affordable price and strong value proposition resonate widely, with many noting it replaced previous units successfully. A few mention noise concerns or fingerprint visibility on the finish, and isolated cases report installation challenges or early failures, but most consider it an excellent, reliable choice.

Overall this is a good microwave and heats up food quickly. I like the flat clean look of the front door without the handle like the other models. This also makes it easy to clean. The controls however could use some improvement. Especially adding one touch start. It currently has a 30 second quick start button but to run it for a minute or two, you have to either enter the numbers and press start or press the 30 second button multiple times. The other auto features could also use better gui...

LG WARRANTY SCAM!
Magnetron died after 3 years. 10 year warranty is a scam. They will not replace it. They will not send you the part to repair it. They will send you to a "licensed" repair shop that will then charge you about half what you paid for it so it can survive another few years. LG does not stand behind their products and uses a bogus 10 year "Magnetron" warranty to make you feel like you have a solid product. I have read many complaints about their magnetrons only lasting a couple of years. Just p...

Nice, no frills type microwave
Well, unfortunately, in the realm of over the range microwaves, this model here is as "low", or "budget friendly" as one might find, whether here at LOWES.com, or anywhere else, as these are not an item which can even be found and just picked up on a humbug at your local wally-world. As microwaves go though, this one is nice enough. Of course, even at the cost of $200, there is no manufacturer who is going to offer an over the range style microwave with anything more than just the most bare-bo...

I bought this microwave four months ago, waiting past my initial impressions which have now been confirmed. This product is less expensive because it is cheaply made. Just opening the door and you can feel its 'tinny' construction. You cannot read the control panel board unless the kitchen light is on behind you. The irritating beeper when the timer is up cannot be controlled or turned off ... I've never had a microwave where this is the case. I'm hoping this product lasts but I doubt it will. S...

Expected More, Got Less
It's the little things that this basic unit fails on. Inside light is so dim, you can't see the items cooking. No single button selection for minutes. The touch pad is mushy looking, but equally as reflective as the glass door making the unit look dingy, even when clean. The selection type on the touchpad is small and gray with poor contrast against the black gloss. Since it is NOT backlit, it should be a non-glare finish in white for readability. LG functional designers should take note for thi...

Perfect Fit
Over the range microwave was a replacement, it’s everything I needed and more. Sleek new design, new features, what a perfect choice for the renovations I’m doing to my house.

Noisy!
The microwave was easy to install although I had to use my handyman because Lowe’s installation was 2 to 3 weeks out. I like not having to press time cook when I want to cook something, just hit the minutes/seconds and start & it starts cooking. It is certainly powerful, but along with that it is also very noisy. I’ve never had a microwave this noisy and I intend to call LG as soon as I have it registered to see if they have any tips. And if someone else said the open button does not align with ...

Liked operation of unit. The microwave cabinet sounds tinny when closing door. I prefer a handle for opening and closing door, versus push button.
