We replaced our Kenmore Elite microwave with built-in pizza oven below. Didn't want to lose the pizza drawer but at nearly 13 years old, we got plenty of good years from it. The button to open the microwave door finally gave out and was quite bulky. The microwave itself works very well and has fun jingles than your traditional beeping. If you own any LG products, you will know what to expect. The reason why I gave it 4 stars is due to the learning curve you will need to retrain the way you use your microwave if you use to a traditional microwave. I believe that LG wants you to use their "Sensor" or presets settings, as it is its main selling point. To heat your dinner plate, you would use the "Sensor Reheat" function and the microwave will be able to reheat the plate for you to what they believe it the optimal temp. Personally I believe it is too hot if you let it go the full time. It will beep with about 1 minute left and that is about my ideal temp to pull it out. What LG defines as "ideal" heating, may not be appropriate for everyone. If you want to customize the time, they make it tedious to do so. There are no numbers to manually enter the time to heat up whatever you put in the microwave, but a "+" and "-" buttons that will increase the time by 10 seconds until 3 mins. Then it will increase by 30 second increments. It moves pretty quick. This is my only complaint. Other than that, I enjoy this microwave. What sold me on this microwave is no button to push to open the door, the smart sensor, 1250 W, and the clean look. Overall, I am pleased with the microwave but it is quite the learning trying to teach a 10 year old how to operate the microwave. If you are not technologically inclined, this may not be the microwave for you.

Quality of LG Microwave is one of the Best! Found Easy to Clean and keep clean. One of the features I found of LG is the redesign of the turn-table that prevents tip overs sitting on the plate glass. The updated technology LG has to evenly cook your food is great! The other features are really great as of the lock to keep door closed door as it cooks to keep little kids from opening door...as for Power....Yes it’s there. Please Read Instructions as any new product. Smart Technology of these new microwave features awesome. The Sound it makes when done is very Clear good volume. Looks of LG Microwave from Best Buys is Great.

This microwave Replaced another one that finally gave out. I selected this one for a number of reasons. First, the size. Then I feel really good about my experience with LG products. It is also a smart contemporary Look & Design. I was considering the stainless version, but saw a white one on sale and it fit better with our kitchen. It works really well and I do like the cooking time & set up. Very clean outside and all the controls needed hidden inside a door that opens without a push button. Simply rest your fingers anywhere along the right side and a gentle pull voila it’s open. It has a large rotating glass tray that is perfect for a 14” pizza. It is quiet and has a soft audible reminder when your food is done. Classy. Lastly, 1200 Watts heat things quickly and the LED lights are bright enough to see everything while it is cooking. Works Great! It is definitely worth a look, especially with a 10 year warranty on the Magnatron & a Great sale price.

When my nine year-old microwave decided to throw in the towel, I did some quick research. This LG model was highly rated by Consumer Reports and was available at my near-by Best Buy at a reasonable price, so I ordered it online and picked it up the next day. There's no doubt that it's a good machine that does what microwaves are supposed to do. In most ways it's better than its predecessor. However, there is one design element that I REALLY don't like: the system for controlling operations has some major annoyances, in my opinion. Once you get used to the method for setting the time, it's fairly simple to take care of that, but not as easy as it was with my old machine. That one had buttons with numbers on it. It couldn't have been more intuitive! This one has a learning curve, and even after you've mastered it, it still leaves a lot to be desired. The worst part of the control design, however, is how difficult it is to see, especially in low light. Mine sits on a countertop, so I have to look down to the panel. It's not lighted, and the markings that you have to find to activate the touch-sensitive controls can be hard to find. I ended up having to mark their positions with some mailing labels cut in half. Now at least I don't have to bend down to see where I'm supposed to touch the panel to operated the timer. Sure, it's a good microwave, and if you don't think you'd be bothered by the way the panel operates, I'd recommend it. It's a nice looking machine in the kitchen, and it came at a very reasonable price.

I never thought I would be so excited about a microwave. It is beautiful and is easy to use! I was nervous about the buttons since I'm used to a numerical keypad but its easy to use. We typically only use the microwave to heat up foods, not cook them for long periods of time. The +30 sec button in the front is very useful. The sliding timer isnt hard at all. I also like the musical notes to let you know when the food is ready instead of the usual annoying beeping noise.
