Overview
LG builds this microwave to hang above a range, freeing counter space below the cabinets. Food turns on a turntable while touch keys set power, timer and preset programs, including a cleaning mode for the stainless cavity.
Stainless inside and out, with a cleaning program named in the listing, it suits a kitchen where splatter cleanup matters. Vent airflow, lighting and cooking output are missing from the data, so anyone replacing a vented hood has to confirm those with LG first.
Who it's for
Kitchens with a cabinet gap above the cooktop are where it belongs. Renters who want a microwave they can move, or anyone needing countertop placement, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Stainless interior with a cleaning program
- Auto defrost from the touch panel
- Nine power levels for gentle reheating
- Preset programs for reheat and defrost
- Vent fan airflow not listed
- Listed width conflicts with the title width
- Short one year warranty
- Needs cabinet space above the range
Performance notes
Even heating depends on the turntable rotating food through the cavity and on dropping to a lower power level for dense dishes. Auto defrost runs from a preset, which avoids cooking the edges of frozen food at full power.
