Very easy to use and very different compare to other microwaves.

published

We have always had Panasonic microwaves but recently have had bad experiences with them so decided to purchase a different brand, This LG microwave is very different to use but very easy to use once you’ve learnt how to use it, I like the LED light inside and it is very quiet while operating.
No complaints from us we are very happy with this product.



Purchased in June 2021 at JB Hi-Fi Retail Stores for $280.00.

Failed after just 5 Months of Normal Household Use

published

This was purchased 5 Months Ago and has only seen Home Based Normal Use. Then Today, the only thing that heats up is the Microwave Case and I mean HOT. The Microwave has obviously failed big time. I rang LG Assistance and that simply hangs up on you, then went online to their help site and the link doesn't work. My Family and I were very happy with the Unit, till today and it is a Shame that LG has such a terrible after-sale service. When it was working 9/10 for the Unit, but LG gets only a 2/10 for the after-service. Lets see if "ALBANY Retravision" does the right thing here

Purchased in April 2021 at Albany Retravision for $320.00.

Great Microwave, love the look of it too

published

Needed a new microwave to replace our old one so decided to purchase this one. So glad we did as it is great! Love the black and white look as a point of difference to the usual looking microwaves, I prefer this to the stock standard all silver or black. The music it plays was nice at the start but can become a little annoying if you don’t take the food out of the microwave as soon as it’s finished as it keeps chiming to alert you it’s done, that’s the only thing that annoys me about this microwave. It’s a great machine. Loved the fact it was anti bacterial coated inside.

Purchased in May 2021 at Stan Cash for $212.00.

Excellent quality - heats things FAST

published

Excellent quality - heats things FAST! Sometimes we have to reduce microwave time shorter than heating instructions because this microwave is so powerful. Also looks really nice and is easy to use. The one odd thing (could be viewed as good or bad) is that the time display does not stay on. After a period of time the display turns off and you have to hit a button to get it to turn on. This is only a downside for us because it's the only clock in the kitchen, but it's not a big deal and doesn't take away from the quality for us.

Highly satisfied with the cooking results. At last change from sharp to LG. Setting and features easy to use. Love the sound when its ready. Sturdy and well built. Fit the avent steriliser, fit my square plate well. I can add multiple dish at the same time and all heat evenly. Space efficient for my family. Love everything about it!

Innovation and Design

published

This microwave leaves many others behind when it comes to innovation and design. Easy to use and is quieter than the Panasonic Inverter. Much more energy efficient on standby mode than the Sharp. Uses LED lighting which is bright and energy efficient. Does not have an annoying fan to cool down the inverter after cooking like the Panasonic microwaves. Cooks evenly and quickly (much better than the flatbed panasonic inverter). Easy to clean. Efficient use of space - it is a 42L microwave but is about the same size as my previous 32L Panasonic on the outside. My only gripe is that sometimes the internal walls clog up with moisture so it needs a rub down every now and then.

Does the job, but .....

published

Does the job but I am somewhat annoyed with the this LG because it doesn't have a timer. We use the timer all the time. And to change the clock time by pulling the microwave out of the cavity and flick the power point switch :( LG, what were you thinking??

Best Microwave

published

This device Looks great, clean and sleek And has been a joy to use. 42 lts is a nice size.

Easy to open and close. Feels solid.
Setting cook time/modes is fast and easy for me.

Like the Inverter Defrost and Sensor Cook functions, they work so well. Food is never overcooked or ruined.
We like the Cute tune when completes.
Very easy to use. I use it everyday and it softens the butter and ice creams so welll. I’m really happy with microwave.

After scouting for a good microwave I settled for this beauty.

Very large inside can fit large bowls. Stylish touchscreen controls. Received many good comments from family and friends.

The whole screen is glass so very easy to clean. Inside has some great auto cooking options from defrosting to warming.

Affordable and does the job

published

Very much satisfied with the cooking results of the microwave, heats any content in seconds. Most importantly, it preserves the taste of the contents inside. The settings and features are very easy to understand and follow to anyone, also the user manual which comes along with the microwave has everything detailed for any queries.

Microwave does some sound, but antyhing not out of the ordinary. Seems very well-built and sophisticated.

Great Microwave

published

We’ve been going with a Samsung microwave for a few years, but when it died, we found this LG.

Looks great, even with the white backing. Super early to use. Avoids the 0-9 keypad with just + or - for 30sec and 10sec increments which makes sense. Wouldn’t want to be setting it to run for 20min though.
Seems well put together
Love that the time on the front says off after you cook something which in great in a busy house with distractions - you can easily tell if someone’s left something in there.

Guys at JB price matched TGGs sale price which saved me a trip

Another Excellent Product from LG

published

Having bought this to replace my previous Panasonic micro, this has served since last November with excellent results. Food always cook great, runs crispier, keeps the freshness and tastes good too. Purchase fro Bing Lee with an offer they had and extremely satisfied with the product ever since. Incase if you are looking for a 40L+ bigger capacity tuntable model microwave, I would highly recommend this unit for anyone.

Pricey but worth it

published

Hefty price for a microwave, tried it on the recommendation of a friend, but definitely worth it.

>Looks very stylish with tinted glass, LED lights and sleek design
>Performs quite well, food is cooked evenly no matter where in the microwave it is placed
>The new inverter technology makes the operation super quiet as opposed to the humming transformer of typical microwaves
>Has good cooking functions that actually help. Easy to use and configure

Absolutely worth it

50mm Front, Sides and Top. Rear needs at least 125mm. This is generic specifications, you would need to consult the manual if you wish to use lower than this.
