Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a decent overall microwave, but with a number of issues which made it undesirable for us: SMALL OPENING - the specs say the interior is 12.6" wide, but this is misleading. The entrance is actually less than 12" wide, making it uncomfortably narrow to fit a big plate without worrying about dinging it. Unless you're cooking origami, 12.6" is only usable by Marketing. This made everyday use a bit painful for us. DINGY INTERIOR - the inside is painted dark grey, and the only illumination is a tiny, dim LED, with a weird blueish tint to boot. Novel, yes; useful, no. HARD TO CLEAN - besides being dark, the interior surfaces have zig-zags rather than being flat, so it's hard to see whether the interior is clean, and it's hard to wipe down quickly. INCOMPATIBLE W/ SPLATTER GUARD - we have a plastic food cover (splatter guard) with magnets for sticking to the microwave ceiling. It's incredibly handy, but doesn't work with this unit due to the zig-zag ceiling shape. RELATIVELY LOUD - while this unit is quieter than our 20 year old, lawnmower-like beast, it is much louder than comparable modern microwaves (73 vs 64 dB). Seriously. Here's why. HIGH-PITCHED NOISE - this unit generates high-frequency noise which caused our cats to run out of the room the first time we turned it on. (probably the inverter) A noise app showed significantly higher sound levels from 2 through 20 kHz compared to the competition. Fortunately, the cats seemed to get used to it. SERIOUS FAN - this unit blows a LOT of air, and on our upper kitchen shelf at eye level, it blows the air right in our face. The other microwave we tried had nearly none. We might have gotten used to this, except... CHEMICAL SMELL - our factory new unit smelled slightly sweet and smoky. I assume this is "new car" smell and will wear off over time. But it's certainly some type of chemical and it's distracting to be blown right in our face every time. BLUETOOTH INTERFERENCE - speaking of emissions, when running, this unit kills nearby Bluetooth communication, much more so than either our 20 y/o unit or the new unit we ended up with. My headset was unusable in the kitchen. APPEARANCE - finally, I would personally recommend this unit o-n-l-y if you already have a kitchen full of LG appliances. It's attractive and modern, but the sleek shape has the opposite vibe compared to Viking for example. For us, it ended up making our kitchen look mismatched. We are much happier after choosing an American branded unit also with a two-letter name. In summary, none of the issues above are deal breakers. The unit looks nice and does it's job. But we are now much happier after choosing a competitive model.

The touch icons are a little close together,if you have bigger fingers it might be hard to program at first. Once you get the hang of it, its fine. Overall I love this oven. It heats up well with a lovely chime to signal when done. The extra wheels help keep plates steady and turning well. Quiet and efficient too. Also love the smaller size which can fit in smaller spaces.

Quick cooking, modern, sleek looking microwave. Matches perfectly with the insta-view fridge. Perfect for kitchens that don’t have much counter space. Easy to open with new double press button without the movement of the microwave as most smaller ones do.

Love my microwave, small and compact exactly how I wanted it. Although it’s small, its heats up my food like any other bigger microwaves. The finish on it looks amazing, and it just pairs up with all my other LG appliances.

Great products in this place and would definitely recommend, ty.

Very good but still cooks unevenly, also very small inside recommend the larger one for a bigger family

I love this little microwave. I needed something small due to the limited counter space in my kitchen. The design is simple and blends in nicely without creating an eye-sore. Since I don't heat anything larger than a dinner plate the interior is perfectly sized and the turn-table ensures even cooking. It's very quiet when running. I do wish the done chime were a bit louder though so I could hear it if not in the kitchen. The LED interior light is a great touch also. This is a great value item for the price!

This is a nice small microwave. It appears well made and its controls are easy to understand. As an inverter-type, it delivers power in a steady manner, instead of a conventional microwave's pulses of high power. One benefit of this is that at 70% or lower power levels, this microwave can be powered by a 1000-watt inverter. My use case for this unit is to cook in a camping van on battery power, so the ability to run off a smallish inverter is ideal. I'm happy with my purchase.

We bought this oven to replace a 21+ year-old microwave, and we’re quite happy with it. It has the same power and capacity as the one we replaced, so cooking is essentially the same. In the past 21 years user interfaces have made a number of advancements, so the only real challenge with this new device was figuring out which button to push for what - which wasn’t a real chore. The LG microwave is quieter than our old microwave, and offers several safety features not available in the past. One is a child safety lock on the door latch (which can be bypassed). This prevents little ones from messing around with the oven because it takes two steps to open it. Another is that it wants you to be sure you aren’t starting it without having put food in…this feature was not clear in the instructions, and was the only real stumbling block we came across. Note: if the display says “FOOD”, that means you need to put food in the oven before it will start. And it needs you to open the door, put in the food, then close the door in a fairly short period of time, so so putting stuff in then going back to it a few minutes later doesn’t work. This purchase was both affordable and a nice upgrade over our old workhorse microwave.

Yoo this microwave was hands down the best microwave a single man with no love life could have. The soft, lovely beeping it makes when the food is done makes you think that someone you love is in the room next to you, until you realize its this LG microwave! It mimics a wife perfectly bc all you have to do is push a few buttons and this thing gets to work in the kitchen! No complaining, no bs, just straight to the point heating up my sandwich. It's sleek, lightweight, curved design only makes you think of all the possibilities you could have with it. It also hands down makes the best foods you could imagine. Overall, lets be honest, I have no complaints. I will never part ways with this amazing machine and you won't want to, either!

Purchased for eldery grandparents. Needed small unit for the space they have. Very easy to use with easy to read display and understandable cooking options/features. Very powerful for its size and they liked the modern look.

Works great! Heats up fast! No loud noise! The minimal noise it makes is kinda cute. But not loud or annoying. Good size too. Would recommend for small spaces.

Good basic microwave. Needs a brighter light in the oven. To get one minute of time you have to press 1,0,0 or the 30 second key twice instead of just pressing the one key. It doesn't have a sensor. On the positive side it heats well and quickly. Also it is quiet and the cooking done chime is pleasant. It is a step up from the GE I had.

Love it it is quiet and powerful for what ever you do.

A compact and stylish microwave from LG with a smart inverter. Heats evenly, the touch controls are convenient, and the design fits perfectly into the kitchen. An ideal choice for a small kitchen!

There are a number of features that just won't work for me. 1) It is very hard to open the door: the opener sits low on the counter and you have to press very hard to get it to open. The MW also slides too easy. 2) The controls for timer versus cook keep cooking when I want timer. This makes it too easy to run the MW empty, which will ruin it. 3) Door only opens 45 degrees. Most MW doors open a little bit more. Since this one opens less, it's less easy to get things in and out, especially if you are left-handed. On the positive: It is easy to turn off the child-lock. The dark interior is not so dark that it will be hard to clean. This one is going back.

Biught this microwave a couple of weeks a go, and it was a nice upgrade over our last microwave. It was just as compact, but far more powerful and quiet. The notification to let you know the cook time had ebded is just loud enough to hear, but not too loud to wake up people still sleeping.

Nice microwave. Hard to find a small footprint microwave for a down with more than 700 watts. This one fit the bill. Make sure to unscrew the release before setting up as the instructions are inside and the door will not open until you unscrew the release

An excellent smaller counter top micro with lots of features and power.

I really like this microwave because it’s so compact yet so powerful! Got this small one because I know that “Microwaves” can cause cancer, and this microwave throws less microwaves than others.
