At last—a countertop microwave you'll actually want to showcase on your counter. From the one-piece tempered glass window to the contrasting matte and gloss finishes, the minimalist design will enhance your kitchen's style. This compact model possesses impressive power, delivering even cooking and better defrosting thanks to the LG Smart Inverter. And with the EasyClean interior, you can quickly and easily wipe away spills and splatters, so your microwave will look as good on the inside as it does on the outside.

  • Smart Inverter: Try defrosting in an ordinary microwave and you’ll get alternating blasts of full power followed by a periods of no power until the timer goes off. LG Smart Inverter replaces this all-or-nothing approach with precise, variable power that provides more even cooking and better defrosting. Whether you're thawing a pound of meat or reheating last night's dinner, your food is heated more evenly, avoiding cold centers and overcooked edges.
  • Auto Cook Modes: Make cooking easier and decisions faster by selecting from a menu of pre-programmed, automatic cooking settings for tasty meals.
  • SmoothTouch Glass Controls: The intuitive SmoothTouch glass controls deliver sleek style and easy operation, with just a touch of your finger. Plus, the smooth surface easily wipes clean for a design that is as practical as it is stylish.
  • EasyClean Interior: Spills? Splatters? Don’t sweat it. LG’s EasyClean interior resists stains and buildup, so cleaning your microwave doesn’t have to be a chore. Simply wipe with a damp cloth—no chemicals, no scrubbing, no problem.¹
  • Hexagonal Turntable Stabilizer Ring: Using your microwave shouldn’t have to be a balancing act. The hexagonal-shaped stabilizer ring on LG NeoChef microwaves provides 6 wheels for the turntable to rest upon instead of just 3. The added support means you can place even tall or heavy items anywhere you like without fear of them tipping over while heating.
  • LED Interior Light: Bright LED lighting makes it easy to check on the progress of your food while offering greater energy efficiency than traditional lighting.
  • 10-Year Limited Warranty on Magnetron: When you buy a microwave, you want something reliable that you can count on. The Magnetron - which provides the power source for the microwave - is confidently backed by a 10-year limited warranty so you can depend on your LG microwave when you need it.

    Decent, with issues to be aware of

    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.

    Inverter microwaves are superior

    True rating is 4.5 for this awesome piece of culinary helpfulness . For years I’ve owned a Panasonic inverter microwave and vowed to never stray, but I DID. I deviated not because I think this LG inverter microwave is better it’s because it’s smaller, yes less is more. Who cooks a turkey in microwave, not me so the least amount of cubic space with inverter technology is what I’m after. Here’s some game an inverter microwave cooks a 30% if you program for 30% not like standard microwave that cycle on and of to replicate 30% but at 100% power. And last the 0.5 deduction is the open release button sucks you have to press to a certain corner to operate release latch, horrible design but I still love the space saving I got from this LG microwave would recommend to all!

    Excellent Compact Microwave

    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.
