Ratings & Reviews for LG 2.0-cu ft Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking ( PrintProof Black Stainless Steel )

I like most of the MVEL2033D features, plus its sleek, clean design. But the two things that annoy me every time I use it is the fact that the buttons are hard to press to activate and that they are not back lit. It would have so easy to design the feature that when you open and then close the door, the control buttons light up. So easy...such a huge failure. I'm even contemplating buying a different microwave just to get this feature. and just trashing this one.

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...

I like it.

I love how this microwave functions, much more powerful than my 20 yo model, not happy that the display does not light up, when I did my search for LG microwaves with back-lit display and this one came up. I had a friend install it for me and he said it was pretty easy. It fit well with the outside ventilation that was part of my old machine. Would I buy it again, probably not, I would purchase one with back-lit display.

Nice appliance

Don’t buy this if you are a small person

We just installed this, so I can’t really speak to how well it will work. But the control buttons for the microwave are at the bottom of the front panel, which causes the window on the front to be placed higher. I am five feet tall, and cannot see the food that is being cooked. Also the inside light is very dim, and the glass on the door is very dark, which makes it difficult to see the food as it cooks. Or at least it would, if I could see it to start with. Maybe we didn’t do our due dilig...

Nice microwave, but has a loud noise when it first

Every time you start the microwave, it makes a louder then usual humming buzzing noise for the first second don’t know if this is normal or not, and if anybody else has experienced this problem.

It works!

I have had this microwave for about a month. It works fine and seems very powerful, but there are a few things I don't love about it...first off it's very difficult to see the control panel unless all my kitchen lights are on - I have a darker kitchen - the option for backlight would be nice. Another issue is the door is very wide and I've hit my head a few times opening it. I do love the sleek look, but would probably opt for a handled door the next time.

Not worth it

DO NOT purchase this item. LG only gives you a year warranty and I have had mine for 2 1/2 years (6/30/23) and it no longer works. The inside light bulb went out within 2 months and it is a pain to replace. Not a huge deal. But the sensor cooking started to go about 6 months ago, giving me a F4 error code. Then the microwave just stopped cooking before the timer was up. We have done all the trouble shooting with no luck but to either pay for repair or purchase a new unit (NOT LG). It is also su...

Terrible customer service, over 30+ days in order delays and the microwave was dropped and crushed in when it finally arrived. Only offered a gift card for the inconvenience

Almost perfect

Works fine but I wish the touchscreen was backlit so it would be easier to see the selections. It also would be nice to have a second shelf and a brighter light illuminating the area below the microwave.

Very disappointed

My first complaint was that the sound to announce the microwave was done is BEYOND ANNOYING and there is only one option- this annoying song can be on or off. The microwave is WiFi enabled and it only has one freaking song option? Weak. But I can live with that. However, the fan stopped working on high and then a few months later the whole thing stopped working. And of course the LG website doesn't have the full owners manual for this model, prob handing all their really old or bad models to Lo...

Broken product delivered, not intalled

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just received my new microwave and it showed up with a broken power cord/plug. The installers took one look at it, said it was unsafe, and refused to install it – which I completely understand. I paid for a new appliance and installation, but instead I’m left with a useless microwave sitting in my kitchen and have to wait for a replacement or repair. This should have been checked before it left the warehouse. Very poor quality control and a ...

Be patient.

The product is great, so far, not only as advertised but perfect for my situation that involved my having to return 2 microwaves through another vendor and the provider, Samsung.

Not bad except for touchpad

We did not know that the touch pad does not light up at all. Except for the clock. It's very hard to see in the evenings and early mornings without having to turn on the overhead kitchen light. If it had the backlit display for the touchpad, this would have been a five-star review.

Nice microwave

Looks and works great. I don't like the dimly lit interior during the cooking.

Did not last!

While this is a beautiful appliance and I have enjoyed using it, it didn’t even last 2 years! It no longer heats anything.

Microwave received damaged after waiting 3 wks

I ordered this microwave and it took 3 weeks to ship to store. When it arrived, it had been damaged in transit and the upper corner of the microwave was dented upward and possibly not working. Online chat they could do nothing about it and punted it to the store for resolution. Took microwave to store. They could only refund and re-order. Now I have to wait for another 3 weeks until it can be shipped to me at a cost of $29. This is totally unacceptable customer service. Please have a manager fr...

THE CONTROLS ARE NOT ILLUMINATED!!!

We were really disappointed with one specific problem that became immediately obvious the first day after installing this microwave. THE CONTROLS ARE NOT ILLUMINATED!!! This is not a problem when all the kitchen lights are turned on, but we find it extremely difficult to see the control panel buttons when the kitchen is only partially illuminated. Other than that problem, the microwave works very well. It's just hard to make the microwave work correctly when you cannot see the controls. ...
