I love this microwave!!

published

The black interface makes it look so sleek. It's also super compact and powerful for it size. Its smart technology means that I never have half a meal heated up and the other half left cold. It also place nice soft music to notify you when the food is ready rather that beeping some blaring noise. LOVE IT!

Product failed after 14months. - Very poor design. (or a one in a 1000 "lemon".)

published

Originally thought it was a bit weak. (took too long, and needed a cooldown time)
One the main component was changed it worked exceptionally well, and proved to be well worth the extra warranty I took out on it from the original sale. (zero - $ to me)
No longer loud, features are easy but you must read the handbook to understand it's use.Seems well biult and easy to keep clean.
Recommend taking out extra warranty, just to safeguard you appliance.

So good, you'll want to microwave anything

published

I never really liked the idea of microwaves. My father always said that you should never trust anything that does something you don't understand. I still believe this. I used to think they were for lazy people with poor morals. However, since purchasing the LG NeoChef, I've used it daily. Even for things that you wouldn't normally microwave. Things like cakes, bread, and icecream. The list goes on.



Buy one, thank me later.

Great microwave

published

The microwave is excellent. I purchased last year and it's worked like a charm ever since. It heats food just fine, and has easy to understand settings. It can heat foods to a high enough temperature that some microwaves can't, which I've had problems with before. Overall a very solid microwave.

Looks good but noisy.

published

Purchased this late last year.
It looks impressive,
It works pretty well, but cannot select cooking time easily. You have to slide a line repeatedly rather than just tap in numbers. This is haphazard as it doesnt always acknowledge the touch. Also no easy way to find a defrost option. There is none! Once it works its good, but then it continues to make loud 'whirring' sounds for many minutes after you remove cooked items and shut the door. This is obviously using power to do so, so im concerned about power usage. Will stick it out as it matches our black kitchen, but not overly happy with functionality.

Complex settings for cooking programs

published

Microbio does what it should do without any issues. I find it a bit challenging to navigate through the programs. It should be more easier to use the preprogrammed cooking options. It is very easy to clean and looks good in the kitchen. We recommend this price, when bought diring offer

Love it

published

Extremely satisfying upgrade to the kitchen. Unlike my previous microwave, I can actually adjust and make reheating food easier and safer. Apart from its awesome array of functionality, I do wish that the black face of the door was not too dark as sometimes I want to watch what is happening inside the machine.

New microwave technology has not only made reheating food easier and more efficient but also safer and more convenient. LG is a technology giant and has devled into almost all aspects of home electronics and this endeavour is definitely not a bad one. Very usable machine and at a good price too.

Can't complain for good price.

published

Bought from Harvey Norman for $160. Not as sleek as stainless steel but good to use.
Didn't read the manual, manage to do all the time setting, easy to use.
There is even a cooling function after heating up the food.
Cheap and reliable. No problem so far, good buy.

Reliable microwave

published

After going through multiple microwaves that kept dying on me the LG works very well. I have had the machine for 9 months and no issues. It has a sweet chime instead of the usual beeps which is unoffensive. It's easy to use - I often use the auto 30 second function and never have any issues with food burning.
The only downside is the black face of the machine means you cant see inside the microwave which is tricky when you want to check on food whilst the microwave is running. I would still highly recommend this machine though.

Love this microwave

published

This microwave is great. The touch slider to adjust the time is super convenient. The size is also perfect for all my needs and I find that it heats and defrosts food evenly and quickly. The only con is that my girlfriend finds the song it plays when it finishes annoying

Awesome!

published

Physical appearance and loudness is a main factor in buying a microwave for me. This model is aesthetically pleasing and fits well within the theme of my kitchen. It is strong and not too loud. Fairly straight forward setting up the options. Would recommend to those who need a all rounder microwave!

Decent Microwave that looks great!

published

We use the microwave only for re-heating food and it does that well. To be honest, I chose to purchase this microwave over others only because it looked so much better than the other options form other brands in a similar price range and we have got a few compliments from visitors on the looks of it. The microwave is easy to clean both inside and outside and I don't doubt that it will look the same for years to come.

Looks good and performs as expected

This microwave was perfect fit for the cabinet, Easy to clean the glass panel and like the touchscreen which is responsive and the dial to adjust the time and cooking options. Defrost chicken without cooking it and have even heat dispersion. The beeping sound is okay and a good reminded too.

This is a great microwave, with touch panel controls. It has a large 42l capacity. It is also an inverter model which means it can control the power level in a more detailed way rather than the basic way most microwaves do it.
Melting butter and other items works much better on an inverter model. The touch screen has been ok, sometimes requires a few extra touches with wet fingers.

A great microwave to have

published

Clear display and bright light inside the microwave. The best part is just one press for 30s reheat. Super handy. Also it dual display that.You.can set up your cooking time while the door opened and some simple set up while the door closed. A great microwave to have. Great investment.

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
