Updated 26 days ago · Based on the Amazon listing and published specifications, not hands-on testing.
A sensible fit for a kitchen with an LG smart range, where the vent and light can follow the cooktop on their own. Vent airflow is missing from the listing, so frequent fryers should confirm extraction before buying.

Overview
Mounting above a cooktop, the LG unit pairs microwave cooking with convection and radiant heat for baking. Its app adds scan-to-cook, where scanning a ready meal barcode sends the settings to the oven, and a link to LG smart ranges switches on the light and vent when burners run.
Smart features do real work here: barcode scanning, sensor cooking and range sync remove guesswork from reheating and venting. The spec sheet leaves out vent airflow and fan speeds, which matter for an over-the-range unit. The installation type is also listed as countertop despite the over-the-range title, so confirm before ordering.
Who it's for
Kitchens with a standard opening over the stove and a phone-friendly cook gain the most from the app features. Households with strong extraction needs should look for a model that publishes its fan rating.
Pros and cons
- Convection and radiant heat allow real baking
- Scan-to-cook sends settings from a barcode
- Syncs light and vent with LG ranges
- Long magnetron warranty
- Vent airflow not listed
- Installation type conflicts with over-the-range title
- Heavy to lift into place overhead
- Smart features depend on the LG app
Performance notes
Microwave power drives reheating speed, while the convection and radiant elements brown and crisp food the way a small oven does. Sensor cooking reads conditions in the cavity to end the cycle, which cuts overcooking on vegetables and leftovers. Venting results depend on the fan rating, which the listing does not give.

Frequently asked questions
Is the LG MVEM1825F an over-the-range or a countertop microwave?
The title says over the range and the description talks about venting the cooktop, but the spec sheet lists the installation type as countertop. Confirm the mounting method with the seller before you plan the install.
What does scan-to-cook do on this LG microwave?
In the app, you scan the barcode on a ready-made meal and its cooking instructions are sent to the microwave remotely.
Does the LG MVEM1825F come with mounting hardware?
The included components field only says tools. A mounting plate and template are not named, so check the box contents before install day.
