Perfect for freeing up counter space, this over-the-range microwave oven supplies 1000 watts of power and a sophisticated look that will nicely compliment any kitchen decor. Its spacious 1-3/5-cubic-foot interior contains a round 12-2/3-inch turntable that helps heat food evenly, plus a bi-level cooking rack for cooking more food at the same time. The unit features 10 power levels, auto and rapid defrost, auto reheat, add 30 seconds, and more/less control, as well as hold warm for keeping food warm until it's ready to serve and a low-wattage melt/soften setting for making hard butter soft or for melting chocolate without boiling or scorching. In addition, the microwave oven comes equipped with a two-speed 300-CFM (cubic foot per minute) exhaust system with a hidden vent for reduced smoke and food odors caused by cooking. Other highlights include simple touchpad controls, an LED display, a clock and kitchen timer, a cooking-complete reminder, a child safety lock, an incandescent cooktop light, and a night light--great for those late-night snacks. A recirculating carbon-coated charcoal filter comes included. The over-the-range microwave oven measures 15-5/8 by 29-15/16 by 16-7/16 inches and carries a one-year parts-and-labor warranty with a 10-year limited warranty on the magnetron.

1.0 out of 5 stars nice looking, but won't last, poor quality, March 29, 2010

This review is from: LG LMV1680ST 1.6 cu. ft. Over-the-Range Microwave Oven with 300 CFM Ventilation System, 1000 Cooking Watts, 10 Power Levels, Auto/Rapid Defrost and Auto Reheat: Stainless Steel

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.

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.

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!
