- This Convection Smart Range is LG's latest iteration on it's line of "Smart" electric ovens. If you squint your eyes, it does resemble your Mom's old oven. But there's a digital heart beating beneath all that ceramic glass and stainless steel. This is a programmable electric range with multiple cooking and cleaning modes. The stove even has it's own wireless mobile app! Check out my video to see it work!
![LG 6.3 cu. ft. Convection Oven Review [JUNK - See Update In Description] (1 of 2)](/img/n.gif)
I am so relieved to watch this video! I just bought this today and felt rushed into it by the sales guy. I wanted to take advantage of boxing day sales today so hope I got it for a good price.
I am unsure about the crazy blue interior color but maybe I can use some fun color in my life.
As with anything these days there appear to be a lot of complaints about LG and the poor quality of all appliances.
Anyway, feeling a bit panic stricken from buying this today without doing more research, so thanks again for this reassuring and informative video. The sales guy didn't even tell me about the app, so that is a surprise!
The app is interesting but we don't use it. Be sure to only use the recommended cleaners for the stove top. Never scrape any burnt food deposits that may accumulate on the glass. That will help to prevent any glass scratches. Happy cooking!
This was a good, straightforward review.- thanks for your effort in making this.
Thank you that was the most useful video on this range ive seen
Thanks for the review, you answer all my inquiries!
Glad I could help!
Thank you. I spent a lot of time choosing the range, but I forgot about a lot of the features
Oh my god they released it... I was waiting for them to. Probably since 2020..
Thank you so much! I’m planning on buying one tomorrow to replace my six year old Samsung oven that stopped working. It’s been difficult to find an oven as so many are back ordered or out of stock. I’m excited about this oven!
Never buy an LG. They have a hard time boiling water. No joke.
Glad I could help!
Front burner on the left side is specially designed to boil water in 90 seconds. True story!
@@rockpaperstone8722yes I have one it’s great it does boil water
thank you!
Great review!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
i just bought this oven without over thinking it. I decided to read some reviews and found out that I need to buy a special cleaner for the cook top, I can't just wash my stove. I have to read a manual. The knobs apparently turn the burners on by barely touching them causing house fires. The oven turns on remotely causing house fires. It's difficult to operate if you're not some kind of rocket scientist. Every video shows all the amazing features except how to turn the oven off. So I guess I'll have to go turn the breaker off every time i leave my house. Every salesman talks about how fantastic it is and now I'm thinking the only reason to buy this oven is if you actually want to burn your house down for the insurance money. I feel like i'm going to use this oven for about a year and absolutely lose my mind making chicken strips and end up buying one of those old white ones from the 70's because I just want to cook some food without having problems. This is why I don't buy nice things.
Why would you need to turn off the breaker every time you leave the house?
Thanks! I didn't know my oven did the light trick "instaview" until I saw this video :)
That is the first thing I tried.
doesnt work on my oven. lg wont send anyone nor do anything to help.
Thank you so much! Great Review Better than LG themselve
Thank you very much!
The drawer isn't for storing its a warming drawer .
I think, in order for a drawer to classify as a warming drawer by LG’s definition, it needs to have a heating element at the top of the drawer which can be controlled by pushing a button on the control panel. See here >> ua-cam.com/video/jz8gYU04Un4/v-deo.html
I have this model (LG 6325D), and there is no element on the inside of the drawer which would would pose a storage issue.
But really and truly, manufacturer’s are just trying to cut corners in my opinion.
I looked at almost all the floor models of all the different models and brands on the electric ranges, and sure enough, all the bottom drawers were substandard in comparison to other previous (I wanna say a decade or so ago) (some more than others).
I can still store light weight items in the LG 6325D model, just not as many.
I am apprehensive of storing any cookware that has a substantial amount of weight for fear it would bend the frame or weight the drawer down too much and throw it off track.
They're all designed to be warming drawers, and each and every one of them is used for storage. I've given up this fight. It's lost.
No mention of the fact you have to press the wifi button every time you want to turn it on remotely. That seems silly might as well just turn it on while I'm pushing the button.
looking at this stove but skeptical about the textured top, hearing it is hard to clean what are your thoughts?
We are careful to follow the cleaning instructions in the user's guide. No abrasives and only use cleaners that are specifically formulated for glass oven tops. So far, so good.
@@rockpaperstone8722 ok we just keep reading that the texture of the surface is hard to clean and stuff gets down inside and you can't get it out. We are still up in the air about so we shall see.
you wont have to clean your lg oven as it probably wont work. mine didnt and i lost 1500. lg will not even try to help.
Man I just bought one and the stove top scratches so easily... and I can't get the scratches to go away.
@safesexmonster: Sorry to hear that. Try doing a UA-cam search on "removing scratches from glass top stove" and you'll get a lot of hits.
I have the same issue!
The scratches take time and regular effort using Weimans cleaner and polish. Start with a razor blade to remove the big stuff, following with the cleaner and polish with elbow grease.
My air fryer feature sucks. Is this normal? Any help y
Trouble shooting??
Air frying from scratch doesn't seem to work very well. I've had better luck buying frozen air-fried products and then using air-fry to reheat.
I NEED HELP. I bought my LG electric convection oven and the owners manual said that the fan should run during preheating and periotically during a NORMAL bake (not convection). This is how all my other convection ovens worked and it helped keep a steady temperature. My LG does not do this, even though the owners manual said it should. So I called and got a new one delivered today......It doesn't work either. PLEASE HELP. I just don't get it
My oven on normal bake does not use the fan. The only time the fan is used is during convection bake.
@@rockpaperstone8722 thank you for your reply. They really need to update their owners manual. But either way, it still didnt heat up good. The temp would fluctuate 50 degrees within 15 min. I ended up going with Samsung stove and I love it.
I got my air fry tray at Best Buy at a good price
Cool!
where can i get the generic brand for the air fry tray?
Hi, I got mine from Amazon. Just search on air fry tray and you'll get multiple options.
Its been awhile now that you posted this, would you still recommend it? Did you have the top scratching issues that many seems to have?
Yes, I would recommend it. Glass surface still looks good, but we baby it. Not so much scratches but there's some baked-on grime that's hard to get off. Probably explains the scratches that others experience when trying too hard to remove.
After now owning this Model since the upload of this video (I am assuming the upload was close to your install date) ,which was in November 2020, how does the surface of your cooktop fare?
Some bad reviews said the glass top is defective/temperamental and scratches easily, which I am hoping is not the case.
Since the oven lacks the bottom element, does your food cook thoroughly and evenly all the way through? Or does it take convection baking to achieve close to the desired cooking end?
Are there any quirks you feel are important to be aware of? Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Cooktop: So far so good. No scratches or cracks. I use the recommended cleaner. I still get grease and overspills that cooks onto the top but the cleaner gets it off. The manual recommends a "metal" scraper for "burnt on foods" that I haven't tried.
Oven: My food always bakes thoroughly and evenly in either mode.
Quirks: I don't use the wireless control function but we did set it up when the stove was installed. I have since attempted to disable it but there doesn't seem to be any way to turn it off. I would still like to have more storage available in the bottom drawer.
Thank you for your attentions and information. I recently purchased this model, but am now waiting on install, roughly a week from now.
Soo … still going through the Manuel and familiarize myself with the HOW TO’S and the DO NOT’S.
I did notice a lot of models of not only LG, but others as a well, don’t have the storage space due to larger oven capacity.
And all of drawers on various models, as well as brands, were either flimsy or semi flimsy, even the newer GE model that is similar to the one you showed in the beginning of the video which I also had, and am now replacing with LG.
Thanks for the tip on the wireless function. Wireless functionality can have some disadvantages, which I try to steer away from unnecessary troubles. Old school works for me.
Just wish the market place would still offer old school appliances (more notably, washing machines) as they were never the replacement hassle they have become. Gone are the days. (Sigh) …
Overall , it seems like a good investment.
@Welby Reherra Good luck and go easy on that glass top. Use only recommended cleaners. Let the detergent do the work.
@Welby Reherra ditto on the washers as well as dryers. I've repaired the non-digital versions on my own for many years.
Clean it every day with Weimans cooktop cleaner and Weimans polish. I start with a razor blade to loosen the bad spills, remove the big chunks with a wet sponge, then use the Weimans cleaner and polish. I rub using a cloth until no residue is left on the cloth. If it's done everyday thoroughly, it will look like new. It's extra effort, but after two years of heavy use, my cook top looks perfect. For inside the oven, there are several UA-cam videos on cleaning it. The suggestions take time and effort, so don't wait too long or the spills get baked on pretty hard.
Where did you get the air fryer baaket from?
I believe we got this one from Amazon: Air Fryer Basket For Oven, Stainless Steel Air Fryer Tray, Baking Sheet Cookie Sheet Set, Oven Air Fryer Basket Grill Basket Oven Tray, 2 Piece
I wonder if you're still around to see this..I'll ask anyway. After 2 years, what are your thoughts, still recommend it?
Yes, it is still used daily. Good stove and we are happy with it.
@rockpaperstone8722 thanks, I just got told it would be 4 months waiting for it to arrive..lol guess it'll be worth the wait
How do you air fry?
Hi, go to 3:50 in the video to watch the convection demo. Also, you can download the Owners Manual from here:
www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-LREL6325F.FRSLLGA
Does anyone know how to set the clock? We have tried, even with the so called help from LG They keep telling us how to set time, but it is not for the one we have. Ours is LREL6325
Look for the word "Clock" under the numeric pad and beneath the "7" on the back panel. After pushing it, you should see "Clock" illuminate in red letters. Use the numeric keypad to enter the time and then push "Clock" again.
@@rockpaperstone8722 Found clock , no numeric pad. Clock does not illuminate in red letters, no key pad. Must not be for the range we have.
@@tbirdman1994 Then you have a LREL6321 or LREL6323. You need to go to the Home Depot web page for the LREL6325 oven. On the webpage, about half way down you will see shortcuts to the product literature that is highlighted in blue print. Select the "Use And Care" manual and find the "Changing Oven Settings." The instructions are there for each model.
Air fryer doesn’t get food crispy just hard. And they say so in this video:
ua-cam.com/video/CkkzCtPWeIY/v-deo.html
I bought this stove , and being from the country, cooking country food on this stove is not good at all 😭 I’ve yet to get a good crispy crust on cornbread and the triple burner doesn’t seem to get hot enough to fry crispy crust chicken🤷♀️ I’ve also tried the oven air fryer for pork chops and they also didn’t get crispy👎 If your eating healthy and don’t like crunchy food, then this stove is for you😉 I’ve not tried pizza in oven yet but I’m 💯 positive it won’t have a crispy crust..
I really should have went with a stove with burner in top and bottom of oven☹️
Try a silicone matt for your pizza. Use an aluminum pan to fry your chicken. It heats much faster and gets hotter.
She is probably more precise in her method, than I, but I do manage to get crispy baked cornbread and crispy stovetop chicken, but again, I don’t pay attention as to why that is.
Your review was fine but the volume when you spoke was sometimes very low. For viewers to get the most out of your presentation, you might want to redo the voice overs.
Thanks for the advice. I'll look into it.
It's an appliance, not a storage unit.
What is she talking about, the bottom draw is packed with stuff looks like a hoarder.
@@backroadscamaro541 lmao. She had it packed up snug.
I know this review is a couple years old but would you mind answering a couple of questions. (1) Once you pair the ThinQ app to the range is the range always ready to receive commands or send alerts from the app? Someone posted on UA-cam you had to manually turn on the smart feature on the range every time you wanted to use it remotely… surely that can’t be true? (2) After owning for a couple of years are you still happy with it? Thanks! Great review by the way!
Hello, We only used the wireless app for about a month. Then we figured out that we just weren't using it and deleted the app. During that time, it was always available and ready to use.
@@rockpaperstone8722 Thank you!
Thanks, the Stove has been working great and is a pleasure to cook with.
Sir how to bake cake
How are you finding the range now a year later? Still working well? Would you still buy it? Looking at it
The oven has been working fine. We haven't used the mobile app much or the air fryer. Convection baking times are impressive and the cook top is easy to maintain. Yes, we would get it again.
mine is junk. paid 1500. for it and it SUCKS. lg will NOT do anything. I will never again buy lg and will help others by showing them facts.
@@MrMauser3006why does it suck?
Would you recommend this?!
Yes, so far it's been an excellent stove. Don't use the app much but it's nice to know its there if we need it.
@@rockpaperstone8722 is there a gap between the wall and the stove ? I've been reading comments and they have this problem
@@juancervantes1771 I had a gap but I'm pretty sure it was due to my plug and receptacle being in the way.
Hello how is the stove top? Do you find it cheap, and scratch easy?
@alicia m The stove top still looks pretty good. We only use a cleaner that is specifically made for glass top ovens. And we never use a brush or otherwise scrape the top.
Just bought this oven. Stove top is ok. But very very disappointed with the air fry mode. Does not cook quick at all. Does not even feel like it gets hot. Not only that. Oven is not even a month old and already have to have repair man come out. No more LG products
May I know how did you start the cooktop?
What is she talking about, the bottom draw is packed with stuff looks like a hoarder.
Lol, she's a gourmet cook who loves her pans. If you think she has a lot pans, you should see her Tupperwear collection!
@@rockpaperstone8722 I understand the need for multiple and versatile cooking/baking vessels and accessories.
It really is necessary and not at all excessive if your going to cook/bake the right amount of food. The size and shape of a cooking/vessel (depending on what your cooking) are also important in cooking your food properly, thus the need for multiple variations.
People will always find something wrong with new technology wether is a T.v or a car in this case is the stove ... who cares if the stove have small compartment underneath ...you are lucky that you even have one... stove is not supposed to have nothing under the oven. perhaps that's where you keep your big mama's underwear 😂💀😉 People will never be happy ... you need to study the things you going to buy for your needs. don't get a mini copper just because they look cool and easy to park then complain that your five kids and two dogs won't fit inside ... I just went to home depot today and bought the LG stainless steel front control dishwasher w/ Quadwash 3rd Rack & Dynamic Dry, 48dBa w/ 3 years protection plan $90
the LG dishwasher $698. $55.16 taxes total $843.16 free delivery. before I went with my wife we study the LG Dishwasher. look for videos on UA-cam and Google the issues that this in particular LG Dishwasher may bring in the future of using it. is like everything else. keep clean because it comes with two filters that you need to keep clean on a regular basis ... just like us we get sick we go to the doctor or better yet. we do check outs of our self to the doctor so we avoid to get super sick by some wear sickness we don't even want to wish we got it. so os the same thing to everything that surrounds you... so we got the 3 years protection plan that's right to protect what we just bought. because within the very first year this appliances can get any electrical problems I'm not saying this in particular LG model I'm speaking of any appliances that have electrical instruments. and even if you don't use your 3 year protection plan they will give you partial of the $90. no bad. we study about noise and performance. so it cleans super good noise we already knew about it that's what 48dBa means ... if you don't know then check a video about it ...
I understand her frustration with small storage space. … I think it is great that she points out by demonstrating exactly what type of bakeware this drawer can actually accommodate. …..and she acknowledges that you do get a larger capacity oven which will cut into your drawer space… just be prepared.
This is now the standard that all these generic stand alone ranges come with as far as the quality of these tin type drawers go, as the manufacturers are trying to cut corners in mass production.
The drawers are now flimsy and some don’t really sit well on the racks they roll on, and can easily get off track. … all these models … now are like this to one degree or another….
15 yrs ago, this was not the case. The drawers were sturdy and well made, and was not even an issue as far as the durability of a solid structure was concerned on even the most basic of models and brands.
You go back to the 1960’s … 1970’s and some of the early 1980’s…. the standard was…. to build an oven/stovetop with plenty of storage space for pots and pans to have handy and ready at the stove. …
Some cooking vessels, being made of cast iron can be a heavy lug from cabinet to stove ….. for some elderly people or the handicapped. Also trying to find a cooking vessel, where you may have to reach way back in a cabinet to select the right one for your meal plan, is actually a more of a hassle, than if you have it right there ready at the stove itself. ……..
Gone are the days where the consumer is the highest priority in the manufacturing of goods and services… things were built to last and/or to provide all the features necessary to make cooking or whatever the case may be, a more pleasant experience.
Google the stoves they made in the 50’s or earlier… they usually had a very deep side drawer or even 2 side drawers with a double oven …. In a stand alone electric or gas range…… retro is the where it’s at. Now it is all about mass production… for turning a buck…..
If you want good storage space in a stand alone stove… you gotta pay big bucks.
Another stove similar in size to the one in the video …👉👉 …ua-cam.com/video/leXH-aivYi4/v-deo.html
A nice example 👉👉 ua-cam.com/video/leXH-aivYi4/v-deo.html
The ideal example . ua-cam.com/video/5VE-pUNRx_k/v-deo.html
I am tellin you, you gotta see another stove with amazing features. So practical…. Not that complicated yet can do SOOOOO MUCH …. High functionality …. RETRO WAS very well designed and gives the feel of a real home experience.

Please read the lines better. Are you trying to become a text to speech program? If so mission complete.
I'll do better next time!
If you havent bought lg yet, PLEASE wait. Go on any of their sites to see what people think of them. They Suck. customer service is non-existant. Tried for severral months to get help with a $1500.00 oven i bought. They would NOT help at all. They all use a generic response : "Please contact me dirtectly for assistance". But that is all you will ever get. junk product, horrible service (actually NONE). Please research and you can save yourself anxiety and thousands of dollars. I wish someone had warned me...
