Stainless steel available Many new mainstream ranges come with stainless steel trim or offer a stainless-trim version for an additional $200 or so.
bought the stove in nov'08, had to have service dec '09 - used self clean program which baked the motherboard,took two weeks to get part in at service repair - LG closed for inventory, had repair done and oven worked for about 6 months and have not had an oven since and today is july 15, 2010; no warranty on left on oven and paid [$]...would not recommend this oven to worst enemy! checked other appliance reviews and have concluded that people are building appliances with shoddy materials which we buy; that will break down and we have no recourse to get fixed. If we had better materials to build better appliances, people would not feel so ripped off by big corporations!
