Features
  • 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.

  • Sensor Cook and Reheat

    Select from a menu of Sensor Cook options and let the microwave automatically determine when your food is ready using humidity-sensing technology. Get perfectly cooked meals, without the need to worry about cook times or power levels.

  • 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 problem¹.

  • 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.

    LG NeoChef 1.5 cu. ft. Microwave

    The LG NeoChef 1.5 cu. ft. Microwave is an exceptional upgrade for any household prioritizing sleek aesthetics and fast, perfectly even reheating. Its precise performance easily justifies the mid-range price tag. However, because it ditches the traditional number pad for a touch-slider interface, it does take some getting used to—an adjustment that would be an absolute A+ if LG added an illuminated keypad to make night-time operation effortless.

    great But…

    Great product. Slim lines and modern design. A must for a newer kitchen. Power output is adequate per our needs. Unit is meant to be installed above the stove and it comes with vent and light with variable spread and brightness respectively which is very ideal. Exterior finish we feel resist fingerprints which is the typical problem with this type of finish. However, don't be fooled by the airfryer function, it's not used the same as a countertop airfryer. You can probably get away without this function if you can avoid it or if you already have a countertop version. The cost for this add-on to the product to the same microwave without the airfryer function is way more than the cost of the countertop version.

    Excellent mid-size microwave

    This 1.5 cu ft microwave is the perfect size for my small kitchen — not too big, not too small. The smart inverter technology heats food evenly every time, no cold spots. Build quality feels solid and durable. After weeks of daily use, I have zero complaints. Highly recommend!

    A Gift for My Parents

    I needed a microwave with specific external dimensions to fit in the shelves of the kitchen. Most 2.0 Cu. Ft. microwaves are too large. I also wanted to make sure the interior was not too small. This model fit the bill (pun intended) and is quiet when operating. The interior is easier to keep clean than the standard white color. The unit was packaged well and my parents are adjusting to having a control panel that does not have numbers to enter. Overall, they are pleased with the gift. They have more internal space than their old microwave and their foods heats in less time.

    LG countertop Microwave

    So far so good. Working as expected. I like the chime that lets you know when food is ready. Also noticed that pressing the 30-second button longer doubles the time. Even though this is a countertop microwave, I have it under the counter on my kitchen island. I left some space all around. Have not experienced any problems so far. Gave only four stars because I haven’t had it long enough to really judge its performance.

  • The manual does not say how to use the power level adjustment feature. When I push that Power Level button nothing happens. I like to cook some things at 70% power, because that reduces the splattering. How is that done?

    To set the power levels on the LG - 1.5 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Smart Inverter - Stainless Steel, Model # MSER1590S, enter your desired cook time, press the Power Level button, and then use the number pad to select a level from 1 (10%) to 9 (90%) or 0 for 100%. The default is 100% (PL10). Press Start to begin cooking...^Ivan.
