Works really well on heating and makes pizza's with ease. Not much training needed. Quite and not a loud bell when finished cooking. Products does everything but broil. If you don't eat steaks, you'll never use your stove again. After I received the product it looked like it needed to be installed in a cabinet. The sides and top are gray tin, really diminishes the stainless steel feature. So I bought Matte BlackSelf-adhesive PVC water resistand and heat resistant and added it to the embossed area of the sides and top. I added pictures of the inside color and what it looks like after vinyl upgrade.

I confess I was afraid to buy this microwave but I finally decided and it was the best choice. It is a bit higher than a conventional microwave but was perfect in place of my old microwave. works incredibly well. microwave and toaster in one piece!

I got this for my husband office. He is always so busy and never has time to take a break for lunch so I made it easier for him since all he has to do his turn around now lol. But really it's great because it also has a oven to bake in addition to the microwave, so it perfect. He had baked some cookies and it makes the office smells nice too!

Pros: It's perfect for my family of four. The interior fits one dinner plate, but the height is big enough for my wife to warm up food in corning whare. The oven is perfect for my teenagers. They have made pizza puffs/chicken kiev, buritos, etc...w/o having to use our oven and waste money heating up small items they love to make after school and when the're hungry. I am going to buy this for my second son going too college to use. Wish I found this for my oldest son 4 yrs ago when he went away....The stainless steel cleans easily with windex and paper towel. Heats water/coffee quickly and this system is quiet with the microwave and oven part. Make sure you read the instructions, very simple to comprehend, so you know how too fully use this microwave/oven and functions.
This item for both units together is not overwhelming in size to be placed on a kitchen counter or corner microwave cart.
Cons: The microwave and oven can not be used at the same time. So, like cooking above mentioned items for 15 to 20 minutes in the oven, you can not use the microwave during that time. Also, I'm just a little worried about the door button to the microwave door. It has to be pushed in far to make the door open. I'm thinking it might ware out quickly...But I took out the extended warranty for this item knowing it us used multiple times everyday or I'll give it to my son for college and buy us the new one....LOL......

Bought this for my son and his apartment. Microwave is good size and powerful. It works well and its features are good. (If this were mine, I personally would miss the "vegetable" button I have on my current microwave.) The real seller for me was the small oven. I think my son will often eat pizza or frozen dinners, and having a small oven instead of heating up a standard size oven, is a BIG PLUS in terms of electrical usage and speed of delivery. Before I gave him the microwave/ oven, I used the oven for pizza several times and the pizza turned out great. Just note that the weight of the frozen pizza will determine whether you need to adjust the cook time. The default for a frozen 12" pizza is 15 minutes. Decided that a 20 oz. pizza needs approx. an additional minute. I also experimented with the oven to make cookies. This worked well except that I didn't have a cookie pan that allowed me to maximize the space available, and it took too long to make a batch. But if you have refrigerated cookie dough and just want a few fresh cookies, it works great.
As others said, the oven and microwave cannot be used simultaneously. And the unit is tall so you need to make sure you have room for it. Also, the Best Buy associate told me that allowing clearance around the unit wasn't required, but the owner's manual does list clearance requirements (up to 4").

I love this microwave. I had one almost like it from Sears and it quit after 5 years and I wanted one like it but not Kenmore. This LG microwave is actually a lot nicer than my Kenmore. The inside is a gray color instead of white and you can use pizza oven for bread sticks etc also. Its not just a pizza oven. I would give this microwave a A+. Best Buy needs to keep it in stock instead of having to order it.

While looking for a replacement for a microwave we stumble upon this product. We wanted to cut using the big stove oven to bake few small items like biscuits and diner rolls and works just great. Not designed for heavy baking but for our needs is just perfect. The main difference using a conventional oven and this one is that the baking time. Most of the food instructions are for conventional ovens. In other words in some items if not all you'll need to use lower temperature and shorter baking time. Overall we're really happy.

I LOVE THIS PIZZA OVEN
I don't know how they do it
but it REALLY COOKS a PERFECT FROZEN PIZZA!
I (at first) thought the tray was too small for a pizza
but it turns out I was WRONG
it's the perfect size for just about any frozen pizza out there
-----
I am even thinking of buying a BACK-UP
just incase they (LG) decide to discontinue it!

As far as microwaves go, it's as good as any other 1000 watt microwave. Except! This one has a oven built in and doesn't take up much more space. Just a few inches higher, it has a 1400w bake oven and can be used for many othe cooking needs. I've used it to cook pizza and cookies so far and it cooks a little faster than a conventional oven. Plus lg's coated finish on the inside makes it easer to clean messy spills. Love it!

I replace the over-the-range oven that came with my house with a proper vent hood, and I needed a countertop microwave oven to complete my kitchen. I read the varied reviews on this and one other similar model, and I'm very happy that I was able to purchase one.
The sides and top of the appliance are covered with a clear film, so be sure you remove it before using the unit. I've baked nachos, sandwiches, and pizza in the bottom oven and have been very pleased with the results. There is a pan that comes with the unit, and you can pretty much bake anything that doesn't exceed the height/width of the pan.
The microwave functions well and with similar features as many other units. One complaint I read from others is that it doesn't have 1-button functionality. You can't push 2 and have the oven start cooking on high for 2 minutes. That doesn't bother me because I prefer to be able to select, say, 2m15s and then hit start. I also like to cook my foods at power levels other than high, so I'm happy without the 1-button function.
I think this oven does it all very well, and I'm very happy with my purchase thus far. If you can find one of these available, I suggest snatching it up while you can.

Wasn't sure after buying a couple different brands and microwaves but I love this. It heats quickly and I made a pizza myself and for the first time it came out good. I would recommend this for people who like the microwave and baking. I had been looking for a long time and thank you finally got one.

I had searched for many months to replace my toaster/microwave purchased from Sears. It still works ok, but the toaster parts were no longer available. I tried E-Bay, Craigslist, and Amazon in search of my Kenmore microwave used or new, but it was a discontinued.
I hit the jackpot with LG and it's Excellent and saves time when heating frozen pizzas and sandwiches..

I was little bit skeptical at first about a little mini pizza oven under the microwave but boy was I wrong. I absolutely love the pizza oven. You save yourself tons of time and money by not having a pre heat cycle like you do with a big oven, it cooks everything in just about 10 minutes and it toasts the bottom and the top at the same time. it absolutely is great. The microwave works as normal but in truth with the little pizza oven, I have microwaved very little.

I read review after review looking for the perfect microwave. Impossible I thought. Purchased this one hopeful that I had made the right choice. Run don't walk to your nearest store to purchase this product! I love it, my husband loves it even more. My first one was delivered damaged. Best buy replaced it with absolutely no problems in 2 days! We use the oven more than the microwave times 2.

Was looking to replace my LG microwave/toaster but it is no longer available. Found this combo instead and it has turned out to be even better than I expected. Does a great job on pizza, nice crust, and toasting English muffins or bread is also as easy as a toaster. Using it as a toaster is a little slower than a conventional toaster, but it gets the job done!

My RV didn't have an oven and my microwave was old. This fit perfectly in the same space and does more. I can now have biscuits and gravy again!
