couldn't be happier

published

l bought this microwave last year from kmart as it was on sale. it works all well with no dramas at all. couldn't be happier with it so far. it is reasonably quiet and work efficiently, it heats foods evenly hot and it is very easy to clean. it is also very stylish with its whole body in black.

It matches our dark cabinets perfectly

published

Just for new dark cabinet finishings in our renovated kitchen pack and our silver standard microwave just didn't match so went to Kmart and bought this as it was on sale. It heats the food up like it should and is super easy to clean out of it gets messy

reliable quality

published

very quiet and the heat was very reliable as the temperature was very accurate. I said this because the previous microwave we had was really horrible and it would make loud noises. This one is also very environmental, no waste on electricity. the price was really good too. highly Recommended!

Just a perfect microwave!

published

I'm using this advanced design LG microwave for over 5 months for now, couldn't be happier! This is the best microwave I have ever own. It warms up the food evenly, not like other ones that leave the core of dish cold and the edges are boiling! Also, it has a pleasant alarm (music) rather than annoying beeping!

Sleek and sexy

published

Love my new microwave, its modern looking with a sleek design. 42l perfect for families. Inverter Defrosts meat perfectly, no cooked edges. Just add the weight for defrosting and cooking and the machine works its magic. It even plays music at the end (instead of the boring beep). Works faster than my previous machines. Highly recommend

This style seems perfect for me

published

This style seems perfect for me. I brought it 1 month ago, which seemed all good! Works pretty fast and I love how quiet it is compared to my earlier Panasonic one. The fact I can adjust the heating temperature without having to open the door is really handy too.

Great Product

published

Although the size is a little big, it's really good for heating. Works pretty fast and I love how quiet it is compared to my earlier Panasonic one. It's spacious and love the light - not the dull yellow ones the previous machines were using. The fact I can adjust the heating temperature without having to open the door is really handy too.

Plays a song when finished.

published

I love our new microwave. It is sturdy and well built. It is easy to keep clean. I love the hidden buttons so it looks great on the kitchen bench top. The food cooks really fast and plays a fun tune when its done. While cooking the microwave is quiet. Ive wasted so much money on cheap microwaves I saw this one and it's a brand I trust and also its sturdy nature made me decide. Definitely worth the money.. really happy with this microwave.

Broken 10 months

published

Bought this last July, while broken after 10 months. It makes quite a bit noise when turning on, which is very scary. The service is not too bad, sending back for repair and it takes two weeks. Fancy look, while I really like the design. And quiet while working, but the quality is bit disappointing.

Really good machine.

published

I have had this microwave oven for a few months and it is really good. Cooks well, reheats well and quickly and does everything you would want from a microwave oven. Very simple and easy to use, the display is easy to read and everything is easy to wipe clean. My favourite thing about this microwave is the happy little tune it plays when it's finished the job....always makes me smile for some reason . I can't think of anything I don't like about the LG, it's well built, solid, spacious, doors are good, the lighting perhaps could be better but that is only a minor concern. All in all I would happily recommend this oven... it functions well and it is very good looking, good combination.

Great machine!

published

We are very pleased with the ease of use and the quality of the food cooked in this microwave. We thought it might be more complicated to use than our previous one which was a Panasonic. However, we have been surprised at how user-friendly it is. This new LG microwave has much larger capacity than the old one too, whilst fitting into the same place. It works so quietly that I forget it is doing a task eg defrosting. Everything about this LG Neochef seems to be very well-built. I am quite happy with the chiming sounds it makes when finished as it reminds me to take the food out of this almost silent microwave!

I cook mostly in it.

published

I am a microwave cook. I used to be a home science teacher . I am satisfied with this LG model, but could not find a convection model that I could fit in the space I had. I miss my convection microwave, but got used to this model easily. I had a problem with the bulb that went, LG replaced it as my microwave has a 2 yr. warranty. Thanks LG!

User friendly powerful Microwave oven

published

This Microwave oven from LG is a great looking easy to use, quiet yet powerful unit!
My wife reckons it is a very user friendly device with many highly useful functions.

As others have noted the tune on completion of cooking is very nice ...compared to the usual bell noise of older models.
No complaints so far & hoping we dont need to take advantage of the 2 year standard warranty it comes with. Most other brands only offer 12 month warranties on their microwave ovens!

Good Purchase

published

This product has a very nice look. And it's big enough for my family. It's very easy to clean. I like the inverter deforest and sensor cook functions very much as I don't need to worry about how long the timer needs to be setup. They works so well and my food never got overcooked.

Pass marks from me

Heats up all my pre cooked meals instantly without any hiccups. Unlike other microwaves the alert for it finishing is a nice song rather than the usual loud alarm found on others. Makes the same noise as a usual microwave would make, maybe a tiny bit less. No complaints from me

NeoChef MS4296OBS (Black)

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.

NeoChef MS4296OBS (Black)

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
