I purchased this unit to replace a Sharp R-2110JW Smart Carousel which proved to be a piece of junk. What a contrast! For about the same price this unit is much higher quality. The controls are well thought out. The door is designed with the window built in. The Sharp has a plastic overlay glued on that fell off after a couple months. The wall mounting was very easy and straightforward. Overall I couldn’t be much happier! LG has won a convert!

I purchased the microvave for the value and other reviews. I found it was simple to install and works great.
As for Vann’s the bell didn’t click untill I tracked my shipmemt and found out they are in Missoula, Montana. This company been around a long time and locals have great respect for the way they do business.

I love to cook and I hate using a microwave.

I had to replace the Magic Chef Microwave that came with my house, so I found this rather cheap microwave and threw it up in my kitchen.

Installation was a chore... that's the nature of hanging microwaves, but I think this was as easy as they get. The unit vents into your kitchen, or through a pipe to your exterior. The template and 6 screws hold it in place. It's very stable.

The shiny black exterior looks like it would scratch easily, but in my experience, it's actually highly durable and is very hard to scratch or mar. It shows fingerprints, but it's not too bad.

This unit cooks a bag of popcorn in 2 minutes 5 seconds (the popcorn button's setting), and gets the job done perfectly. It boils a cup of water for tea in 1 minute 30 seconds, and I think that's pretty quick. The defrost settings (where you hit a button for what you're heating, and a then select the weight) work very well. I also like the 'Hold Warm' feature, though I rarely have a need for it.

all in all, this microwave heats water, popcorn, and gets meat ready for the grill or skillet very effectively. This unit is far superior to my GE I had for years, or the Magic Chef. I find myself using this appliance far more than I used the other ones I've owned. Reliability is the most important factor, for me, and I haven't owned this long enough to tell you much there, but this unit feels very well built, and I probably will buy LG again if I have the option.

Also, Amazon shipped this thing to me, and it came very quickly and well packed (I used free shipping, of course).

I guess that's all I can say that's helpful to you, but I will try to come back in a couple of years to tell you if it lasted.

This is a lot better than the others I looked at in this price range. It is just a good oven for the money
