- Is this worth $599?
- You pay a premium for three appliances in one. If you would otherwise buy a microwave plus a countertop air fryer, the combined cost is close, and you save the counter space.
- Does it really air fry?
- Yes. It has a dedicated air fry mode that uses the convection fan and a higher heat, so it crisps food without deep oil. Expect longer times than a basket-style air fryer.
- How does it vent?
- As an over-the-range unit it vents cooking smoke and steam from the range below. Check whether your kitchen uses ducted or recirculating venting before buying.
- What size opening does it need?
- It is a standard over-the-range width, but the 1.7 cu. ft. cavity makes the body deeper than compact models. Measure your cabinet depth and clearance above the range first.
- What comes in the box?
- The microwave, a mounting plate and hardware, and the venting pieces for the install type. A metal rack for convection and air frying is typically included.
- When is it cheapest?
- Over-the-range microwaves usually drop during major appliance sales and holiday weekends. At $599 at LG as of November 7, 2026, it is the only new price listed, so watch for the first markdown.
