LG LMV1680ST 1.6 cu. ft. Over-the-Range Microwave Oven

Product Review

Behind every LG OTR lives a high performance cooking machine. Our powerful 300 CFM exhaust system makes cooking more pleasant by reducing smoke and food odors. With LG’s OTRs, expect the ultimate in premium styling . By adding stylish controls and a hidden venting system, we’ve elevated our OTRs to a new level of sophistication. Improved circulation of microwaves with top stirrer fan and rotation of the turntable ensure more even and thorough cooking and defrosting. Melt or soften your butter, cream cheese, or chocolate without boiling or scorching using this low wattage setting. You'll no longer have to let your butter sit on the counter to soften before you can cream it to make cookies.

I bought this for my new kitchen renovation. I was getting rid of the huge vent above the stove and wanted a nice place for a microwave that would vent. You can use it to vent up and out, or it can recycle the air and let it flow back in the room. I'm using it for the latter. The fan is very loud, I find, but not so bad that I wouldn't use it. The microwave is nice and has a lot of nice features on it like quick start (also known as Add 30 Seconds). I would recommend it. You probably won't find a better one for a price like this.

I bought this LG over the range microwave as well as other LG kitchen appliances in July 2008. It looks nice in my new kitchen but it quit working on March27, 2010.#5 on the Key pad not working, Lights on, it turns but doesn't heat up the food. The door is always hard to open and close, vibrate a lot when microwave is working, make a lot of noise too. The vent doesn't work well either, ended up oil was everywhere on my cabinet. I think it's just piece of junk. And it passed their one year warranty, of course LG won't replace one/repair for free. Maybe they just know their product can only last over a year. I won't recommend anyone buy it.

My husband & I recently purchased this microwave and it is such an upgrade from our previous one! I don't want to go through all of the features, but for a microwave, it pretty much works like it is supposed to. It heats food...can't expect any more really. A couple of reviewers have mentioned the noisy fan, but to me, it's typical of an over the range microwave. I read a review, somewhere else I believe, and the commenter stated that you could barely hold a conversation while the fan was going. Not even true!
