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.
