Something important for me that I have not seen on any other review is the usable volume of the microwave, which is roughly limited by the distance from the center of the turntable to the nearest wall and ceiling. In the NeoChef, the oven has an additional few cm depth on the left than on the right (hence space on the right is what matters), and more ceiling space in the front than the center (with center ceiling space being what matters most), and more depth at rear than front (with front therefore being the limiting depth). The advertised v...Read more

Cons:

- The inverter magnetron obliterates 2.4ghz wifi signals. If you don't suffer this issue, you're either not using 2.4ghz wifi, or your devices which use 2.4ghz wifi are kept far away from the microwave. This appears to be a problem for inverter magnetrons in general, not LG specifically.

- The "stainless steel" attracts smudges and fingerprints very easily, unlike Westinghouse models.

- There are rough seams in the plastic moulding at the top right corner of the door. At least the door lines up flush with the housing when closed,...Read more

We got this microwave to replace our old LG that just stopped working one day.

This new one lives up to the LG name. It does a great job at heating food evenly and is very easy to use. I'm yet to find any inconsistencies with how warm the food is or how mushy/soggy it can be with other microwaves.

The controls are very easy to use. The door has a few buttons on it and covers a more detailed control panel, but for the everyday use, the time buttons and quick start on the door are more than enough. If you want to use a more specific feature, yo...Read more

I purchased this microwave in hopes that it would last me a long time,

Let me tell you I will have this microwave for the next 10 years ! (according to the 10 year parts warranty)

The microwave itself is a snug fit in my pantry, it fits on the shelving almost perfectly, allowing me to hide it from view, thus giving me more room on my kitchen bench.

It heats cold items extremely fast, my old microwave would take a very long time, where as this one is very zippy.

Its also extremely easy to clean, after putting chickpea soup in the microwave ...Read more

Purchased the LG 1200W Stainless Steel 42L Microwave Oven July 2022. It's sleek, stylish and has plenty of room to cook/reheat food. The stainless steel compliments our other stainless steel appliances and is easy to clean. The instructions are fairly easy to follow and has numerous preset menu function. So far we have only used it to heat food and it has done it quickly and evenly. The only negative I find is you can't set the timer less than 30 seconds using the touch pad. You can increase and decrease the timer once it has started by sliding...Read more

We had a Smeg and I thought I’d was good. But it only lasted a couple of years. I actually came into product review to choose this LG. The ratings were high and the price from good guys was great. So we decided to give it a go. This oven has the inverter defrost and that is excellent. No more cooked edges with frozen centres on defrost. The ability to use the simple glass controls with the door close or the more detailed keypad with the door opened is handy. The oven is powerful with 1200 watts. The only thing I don’t like is the annoying tune ...Read more

I'm normally a microwave skeptic. Patchy reheating, half-cooked meat when defrosting.. basically a pretty average experience and I mostly used it to melt butter, reheat leftovers and heat up wheat packs.

I'm pretty much converted to using this thing all the time. If you use its smart settings, it actually does a really great job. Cooks fresh veggies well, defrosts without half cooking meat, reheats without destroying the texture of everything. The keep warm function is excellent and really handy too. And finally, a microwave door you can op...Read more

This replaced a very old microwave of the same capacity. What we first noticed was the smaller footprint. We were then pleasantly surprised by the many functions and found the sensor so easy and convenient to cook and reheat. The noise was not a problem because our old model was much worse. 24 Month warranty is a bonus that competitors were not offering. The instruction book is comprehensive and easy to read. The interior is well lit when in use. I found the touch pad on the door a little small and needed to train myself to find the right spot ...Read more
