LG 2.1 CuFt Smart 1050 Wattage Over-the-Range Microwave in Black Stainless with ExtendaVent® 2.0

Our take on the 2.1 CuFt Smart 1050 Wattage Over-the-Range Microwave in Black Stainless with ExtendaVent® 2.0

This LG over-the-range microwave pairs a 2.1 cubic foot interior with a 1050-watt output and a black stainless finish. Its WideView window gives a clear look at your food, while SmoothTouch glass controls keep the front panel sleek and simple to operate. Humidity sensing judges when food is ready and shuts the unit off on its own, and six Auto Cook settings cover everyday tasks such as defrosting, melting and steaming. The ExtendaVent 2.0 venting system reaches across more of the cooktop than many standard models, helping capture smoke and cooking odors.

This model suits anyone wanting a space-saving microwave that also handles ventilation above the range. Before buying, check that the unit's dimensions and cutout match your installation space, and confirm that the ExtendaVent 2.0 feature fits your kitchen setup and how you plan to vent. The Wi-Fi and ThinQ app features are worth considering if you use a compatible LG range.

No more “Is it done yet?” guesswork. Humidity-sensing technology determines when food is cooked and automatically turns off the microwave to help prevent over- or undercooking your food. Make it tasty and make it easy by selecting one of the 6 Auto Cook settings.

Choose from Auto Defrost, Soften, Melt, Simmer, Steam Cook, or Kids Meal. LG ThinQ's Scan-to-cook feature takes the guesswork out of frozen food meal prep. Simply scan the barcode on ready-made meals with the ThinQ® app to remotely set cooking time and power level.

Reduce smoke and lingering cooking smells with LG’s ExtendaVent™ 2.0. Where most over-the-range microwaves only cover the rear of the cooktop, ExtendaVent™ 2.0 expands to provide powerful ventilation over more of your cooktop for 2x the capture rate. Connect your compatible Wi-Fi-enabled LG microwave and range through the ThinQ® app to enjoy the convenience of automatic pairing.

Your microwave's vent and light will automatically turn on and off when your range cooktop is turned on or off, so you won't have to lift a finger when cooking. Spills? Splatters?

Don’t sweat it. LG’s EasyClean® interior resists stains and buildup, so cleaning your microwave doesn’t have to be a chore. Simply wipe with a damp cloth—no chemicals, no scrubbing, no problem.
