Overview
A convection heating system turns this LG over-the-range microwave into a second oven above the cooktop, with programs for air frying, steam cooking, melting and softening. It mounts in the space over the range, and a touchscreen sets power and the timer.
Convection plus air fry lets a household crisp and roast without giving counter space to a separate fryer. Missing from the listing are the microwave output wattage, the vent fan rating and any word on what the Smart label means, so check the LG spec sheet before ordering.
Who it's for
Kitchens with a cabinet gap above the stove get a microwave that also bakes and air fries. Renters without a mounting spot and cooks who want confirmed venting specs should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Convection heating adds roasting and baking
- Air fry program built in
- Steam cook and auto defrost programs
- Touchscreen control panel
- Cooking output wattage not listed
- Vent fan details missing from the listing
- Listed height figure looks like a data error
- Needs an over-the-range mounting location
Performance notes
Results depend on how the convection element and fan move hot air around the food, which is what browns and crisps in air fry mode. Microwave power levels govern how evenly leftovers reheat, and the unlisted output wattage decides how fast that happens. A crowded cavity slows convection cooking, so smaller batches crisp more evenly.
