LG microwaves come in many forms and colors, they have black, white and stainless steel and many of these colors are available in both the countertop and over the range style microwaves.

Pros

A very nice feature of these LG microwaves is the bi-level racks. This makes it simple to cook more than one item at a time. Now you can fix a meal in no time flat.

A feature that has been a long time coming to the microwave world is the ability to melt or soften things like butter and chocolate without scorching them. These LG microwave have the perfect low wattage settings for doing this very thing.

Overall performance of this microwave is outstanding. Customers had very little negative to say about these LG microwaves.

The one exception is a customer who obviously purchased a lemon. In every manufactured product, you will find a few that are bad apples but not a representation of the whole.

Cons

The biggest complaint or warning if you will is the weight of this unit. It weighs a whopping 60 pounds and is designed to be installed over a range.

Needless to say you will need some assistance to install it. Carefully follow the instructions on placement of the brackets and move your range out if possible, this will make it much easier to install.

LG LMVM2277ST

If you like to have the latest gadgetry you might take a look at these LG microwaves. This one features a full 2.2 cubic foot cooking area, 12-inch turntable and similar controls to the one above.

What is interesting about this microwave is the slide up door. Yes, the door glides upwards instead of opening out.

The microwave also boasts 1100 watts of cooking power, however this over their range oven retails for over $700! For that kind of money, it better take the food out of the refrigerator and cook it!

Bottom line

LG microwaves come from a company with a lot of experience with consumer electronics. Though their latest venture may seem a bit extreme overall, the company produces quality products.
