Take the guesswork out of food preparation with this microwave's sensor cooking technology to cook your favorite foods and snacks properly. The QuietPower ventilation system clears your kitchen of smoke and cooking odors quietly.
 
Noisy and poor service from LG

What's great about it: The price when it was on sale; styling
What's not so great: Noisy; poor settings; jerky turntable
We tried and returned two units of this model due to noise issues. We bought this to replace an old Kitchenaid OTR microwave. We believed LG to be a good brand. Wrong! This microwave had a terrible intermittent vibration when it was running. We called LG (which was a less than pleasant experience right from the get go) for service and they had me call a local company to fix it. After waiting about 6 weeks for the parts to come in (fortunately it was still usable - I don't know what we would have done if it wasn't) they came back to install them. The noise didn't go away and may have actually gotten worse. The serviceman said it probably would never get better due to LG not mounting the fan on rubber mounts to save money. Fortunately we bought it during Best Buy's extended holiday return period so we took it down and brought it back (as well as the LG convection range we purchased at the same time as the microwave).. We weren't crazy about the settings on this model either. No beverage setting of all things! That's the one thing we use a microwave for more than any other. The turntable tray rotated in a herky-jerky manner as well. We'll probably never buy another LG (Life's Good - yeah, right!) product. We're waiting for our Whirlpool replacement to be delivered this week.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My kitchen was built so that the microwave vents to the outside of the house is this one able to vent outside?

Is this microwave built to vent to the outside?
Yes it is. We did so.
