Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

Overall works well. Don’t love the button to open the door - you have to press on 2 different sides

This microwave perfectly helped replace the old microwave, and even fit in the built-in location (photo of where I set it up). No issues at all after using it a lot in the last month.

We'd like the first one so much we bought another. The differences is the door latch instead of the door handle to open it, but not a big deal, and this one doesn't have the 10-second plus or minus button.

We are still getting used to this microwave, but so far, so good. I like that it heats quickly and seems to heat thoroughly. Soup no longer has cool spots after cooking. I love the turntable and the size of the microwave. I can place larger items inside and the turntable still turns. It will not hold a 9x13" pan, though. I don't like the particular food choices for sensor heating and reheating. This microwave doesn't have a setting for "soup" or for melting butter or chocolate like my old one. So, for now, I'm guessing every time I make something new. (See photo for options). Once in a while, when trying to use a sensor setting, I get stuck in a circle with buttons because I can't figure out what to do. This is easily resolved by opening and closing the door. I like that the door has a two-step opening feature (for small children) that can be disabled so you only have to push the button to open the door. I also like how well the light allows me to see my food cooking.

This microwave is a bit different from what im used to as you are not granted the quick minutes set e.g. on other brand of microwave you can just press the number 1 on the pad and it’ll cook for 1 minute but this microwave is different as pressing numpad would be setting per digit time for example let say you wanted to microwave something for a minute on other microwave you would have to just press 1 and it’ll go but on this you would have to press 1 then 00 then start to get it not a dealbreaker for me just have to get used to it Sensor cook is surprisingly accurate but only applies to some certain food And it knows if there isn’t anyfood inside when you try to microwave but it is a door based detection rather actual food present

Great microwave for the price. I love the look of it and has been easy to operate so far. Only complaint and its very minimal is your finger prints show up very easily on it so you have to wipe it off constantly if you care about that.

Fast heating, easy controls, and sleek design. This microwave oven works perfectly and makes meal preparation much more convenient. Highly recommend!

This is a very nice feature rich microwave with clean lines and a touch of class. My family is a big fan of LG and they have earned our trust with these as well as other fine appliances!

Does the job well. Easy to set up. Bought this to replace a slightly larger one so fits my space well.

We love it. Nice large turntable, very big inside! Easy to use. Cooks fast :) Only one thing I wish it had, it needs a lighted control panel

So far so good! I do like the sensor re-heat and cook. Also the large interior and this turntable doesn't shake or get off balance. The finish tone is not to loud but loud enough. One drawback is it is not smudge proof. Second, The keyboard does not light up so you have to turn on a light nearby to read the panel .

Very nice, big microvawe, heats up quick but NOT lit buttons black in black invisible in the dark..

I love that microwave heats up food in less than 1 min, I bought one for my aunt back in 2023 and I loved it, I recently moved into my own Apt and I had to buy one for myself.

Great microwave, the heating is Amazing, really powerful for it's size. Didn't give it a 5, because of how the door opens. You have to simultaneously put front button plate w/ side button. I would totally recommend this microwave because of how powerful the heating is in short time frames

I purchased the smaller version first. Then I decided to upgrade. This model is Consumer Reports Recommended and looks the part. LG reliability and looks compliments my LG Stove and Refrigerator and Upscale Kitchen.... LG is a Lay Up.... Give it a try!
