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

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

This LG over-the-range microwave combines a 2.1 cubic foot cooking space with a stainless steel finish and a glass-style touch control panel. A wide viewing window lets you keep an eye on your food, and the sensor cooking function uses humidity detection to judge when a meal is ready, shutting off automatically to help avoid overcooking or underheating. Six auto cook settings cover tasks like defrosting, softening, melting, and steaming, and the ThinQ app can scan barcodes on certain ready-made meals to set the cooking time for you. Its ExtendaVent 2.0 ventilation reaches across more of the cooktop than many standard models.

This model suits anyone who wants a microwave that doubles as a range hood and fits neatly above a cooktop. Before buying, check that the width and cutout dimensions match your space, confirm that your cooktop and ductwork are compatible with the venting setup, and make sure the stainless finish suits the rest of your kitchen.
