LG Over-The-Range Microwave - 2.0 Cu. Ft. - Stainless Steel

Our old LG microwave stopped working after 11 years. I read a thousand reviews of different brands and watched many youtube videos made by pros talking about the life spam of appliances these days. After seeing all fancy stuff currently added to microwaves I decided to make it simple. Instead of spending a lot for something that can break in three to five years I purchased a cheap option. At the end of the day you will use very few buttons of your microwave and operate it for a max of five minutes at a time. This oven does what all others do. It’s just not going to cost you an arm and a leg like most others. Bottom line, if it breaks in a few years I won’t regret having spent too much for it. Overall, good quality. Your food will get warm as it would with all its expensive peers.

I am so happy that the interior light burned out on our old counter top high end microwave oven. Because of that little light, my husband and I decided to purchase the LG LMV2053st over the range microwave oven. It's very very impressive! No cold spots in the food! A pleasure to use and use it we do - several times a day - from reheating tea to cooking our porridge in the morning to a dinner casserole and snacks in the evening. No complaints whatsoever. It matches to a "T" to our other kitchen appliances. Our impression and review .... a HIGH FIVE!

Another post mentions the door would not open. That may because the MW was installed in cabinets that are too deep. The manual says max cabinet depth is 13". Mine is 12" and the door opens fine with 30" wide cabinets because the MW protrudes out from the cabinets as it should. I had some trouble interpreting the upper template so double-check with your own measurements The MW works well. Auto modes measure water content in air above the food. It tends to make food a bit hot but you can trim down the calculated time with the minus (-) button. Most people use manual (entering the time) anyway. Light inside is a bit dim behind tinted glass but food is still visible. Vent fan is noisy but smooth, typical of every other MW I suspect. A good product overall.

I think the problem Rohit had was that his/her cabinets must have been very deep. The manual says max cabinet depth is 13" and it's in fairly small print. The MW depth is 14" up to the hinge so the door should always open just fine. My cabinets are 12" which I think is standard so I had no problem with the door. My installation went OK but I found the template for the upper horizontal area very ambiguous so I made a mistake with my drill holes. Just verify your locations with actual MW measurements before you drill. The MW works fine and the auto-sensing of Moisture works OK but tends to make the food a bit too hot to eat immediately. But you can trim the time with the - (minus) button while it's cooking or just open the door early. All around, a good product.

We purchased this model along with a fridge, range, and dish washer. This Microwave is proving to be all that we had hoped for and more. It's super easy to keep clean. The touch pad control is awesome. Whether you are warming, or cooking, there are never any cold spots in the food. The Defrosting settings are the best of any Microwave I've ever used. The placement of a "Quick Guide" just inside the door opening is fantastic. It's also very quiet. Everyone in the household says, "No Complaints"!
