LG Microwave
I purchased an LG Microwave due to it's sleek design and hidden touch controls and the modern colour that would suit any kitchen. The LG microwave has alot of options to choose for cooking temp control, it also has several quick cook options for snacks/reheats the food is cooked evenly when placed correctly. The microwave will automatically cool down your plate, if it is to hot too handle for safety reasons. I would recommend this product.

Just buy it.
We recently purchased this microwave following a dud purchase of a different brand. It is brilliant. The whole technological layout is so easy to use, easy to clean and practical. Heats quickly and well. Love that the door opens without a button but by pulling open door (to reveal additional controls), and especially love that you can press on the start button while the microwave is operating to add time in 30s units. Seriously, this microwave is amazing, particularly for the price. If you need a new microwave, just buy it.
Purchased in November 2021 at Harvey Norman for $270.00.

Very happy!
I love my LG microwave! The controls are quite different than my old sharp microwave so it was a bit daunting at first but after a couple of days I had it figured out and its actually really easy to use. I use it for all my defrosting and the first thing I noticed was how evenly it works,even with packets of meat or chicken stacked on top of each other and I can defrost two whole chickens at once. A great time saver! And with no warm or still frozen spots whatsoever. I love the automatic cook function - just pop in your frozen veggies and it co...Read more
oks til they ready,no having to guess times,it does it all for you. Its very high in power so heating anything is much quicker than my old microwave. I love the way it looks,very stylish in the matt black with most of the controls inside the door ( which is great at night because you can see them with the inside light) But the slider control is on the front so you can adjust the cooking time while its on. The coating inside makes it super easy to clean and its big enough for our large family. I didnt even go looking at microwaves when ours died,I just asked my husband to bring home an LG because I am so happy with my washer,dryer and vacuum and I am so happy I did! Once again LG hasnt dissapointed,another amazing appliance!Purchased in March 2021 at The Good Guys.

Smart LG for smart kitchen
Best is it got a mirror finish, easy to clean and maintain. It looks lovely in the kitchen, touch screen and all keys are hidden inside and look smart from outside. It's an energy saver. We even purchased extended warranty with an extra $30

Easy to use
I like the size and the tint also the notification it gives when the food is ready. I decided to up date my microwave and this one was definitely cost effective.

Where's the Timer function?
The microwave is good to live with, however we couldn't find the Timer function. We looked in the instruction manual and Online and yup, you guessed it, no mention of it. So this was disappointing on an appliance that rates itself up there with the best.

Simplicity to a T!
Programming and controls are well designed and intuitive to use. Absolutely love the minimalist and sleek look. The cute tunes and noises are not too loud of offensive either. 10/10

Stopped heating after only 2 months
I bought LG 42L MS4296OBS microwave oven from the Harvey Norman (HN) in Liverpool, NSW on 13th December 2022, on 27th February 2022 it stopped working. It shows all display correctly but does not heat food.
I read couple of similar negative reviews before buying this; thinking those people are unfortunately unlucky ones, to my surprise I became one of them. I called HN store next morning and to add in my surprise they said I have to return it to the store, they will then send it to LG. It will take at least 7-10 days before we will know any k...Read more
ind of outcome. During this time of "assessment" I will not have any replacement from the store or from the LG, and have to live without microwave for at least 7-10 days. It is simply unacceptable. I was under the impression that I will get refund or exchange of microwave oven if I go to store. Apparently LG require store to send all faulty products back for assessment while their customer have to wait. I had K-mart $50 microwave previously worked perfectly fine for >10 years. We gave it away for free when we got this new shiny microwave. Now thinking it was mistake. I can’t believe LG will let customer wait for the answers till they “assess” the produce for fault. I don’t know how this even makes sense economically for LG (considering cost of transportation, repairs, and faulty parts)? Also it does not make sense for their customers to suffer for LG's faulty product? I was told by the HN store that Panasonic have different policy, store can simply replace faulty microwave with the new one on spot. At least I know which oven I will get/refer next. Apart from above fault, we did not like the glass panel in front. It looks good but not very practical. You will see tones of fingerprints by the end of day. After 7 days of no contact from LG or HN store I contacted LG service centre. I was told they don’t know which third party service centre has my oven. I then contacted HN store and got the details of third party service centre. I called them and they informed me that my oven is repaired (they have changed PCB and magnetron) and I can “collect” it anytime. I asked them to send it to store instead. I then collected it from the store. This was a big inconvenience and time consuming process, considering I have to live without oven for >7 days, carry this heavy oven to store and collect it back. I am not sure if Australian consumer law have any protection for this kind of situation. I now essentially have refurbish microwave oven.Purchased in December 2021 at Harvey Norman for $224.00.

Perfect microwave!
Needed a new microwave so we brought this one. Great so far. Heats up real quick, kids love the sounds it makes. When you are busy, the sounds don't let you forget there's something in it. We have brought an LG fridge so this matches perfect!

No Problems after 2 years
Have had this microwave for nearly 2 years and have had no issues. Cooks well and is easy to operate and clean. Looks very good in the kitchen. Grandchildren like the tune it makes when finished though i can take it or leave it. Sliding controls work well. When finished it has a fan cooling down cycle which should help in increasing its life.

Microwave delighy
Where do I start with this piece of work. Amazing! Really cool and easy for me to heat up my food! Although, not sure about the other button when you open it up it’s actually a touch microwave when you close it and just a quick min to heat up you food. Doesn’t make too much noise as well!

Great!
It’s been a pretty good microwave. Heats and defrosts as it should. The inner plate is a bit wobbly and the start button can be a bit touchy sometimes - you have to really make sure you finger is over it properly. But it’s a stylish design and in terms of its heating I have been impressed.

A Stylish Microwave
We recently purchased this LG microwave in Black. It’s sleek and stylish front is black glass and looks great in our kitchen. Easy to use with the quick timer on the touch pad on the front. When you open the door there is another touch pad for a lot more options. Would recommend this product.1200w power.

Great microwave
I had been searching for a good microwave for quite some time. I was surprised at how cheap some of the ones on the market look and wanted something sleek that would blend in with my new kitchen. This was the perfect choice!
I really don't have anything negative to say about this microwave. I'd highly recommend it!

Cooks to perfection
As there are only 2 of us now and we needed a new Microwave for our newly refurbished kitchen. It cooks everything to perfection as is easy to use. We needed a Microwave that opened out to the left and this was the only one that did. Pleased so far with this purchase.

To easy
This microwave is by far the easiest one to use on the market. It’s so simple and with such a sleek design it’s the best. I’ve had this microwave for a couple of years now and nothing has broken or stopped working over the time that I have had it.

Questions & Answers
scottalamontasked
We have the LG NeoChef MS4296OBS for about 6 months. From day 1 we have had an intermittent issue with the door closing. It tells us that the door is not closed. Does not seem to matter whether you close the door gently or hard it still intermittently shows the door error. HELP PLEASE

Sounds like a fault to me. Call LG, it will still be under warranty.
Never had that issue with ours.

Hi All,
We had a National that died and resurrected our old Sharp and were reminded why we changed. The Sharp has a very annoying 'feature' that keeps beeping at you if you don't respond (open door, turn product etc) within one minute. They still advertise it as a feature. No, it's just plain annoying and let me turn the feature OFF.
My question is: Does the LG beep just when the heating time has finished or does it continue to remind you because apparently we're thick? There's nothing in the manual about end time.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers
Ken

It reminds you with a tune so if you find a beep annoying the tune will drive you crazy

Is the model with the knob on the door, model MS4266OBS or OWS, better than the model with the flat door controls, model MS4296OBS or OWS? it is a little dearer!
