LG - 1.4 Cu. Ft. Mid-Size Microwave - Smooth White

Very happy with purchase . Picked up from store immediately after placing order. Very easy to use and it cooks evenly. Customer service pick was very helpful and even loaded it in the car for me . Only concerns that I have is being unable to see food when it is cooking . Not sure if a brighter bulb inside would eliminate that issue.

We were torn about which microwave to get. We needed one to fit on the counter, but not so big that it would take up the entire counter. We also needed something large enough to handle our normal cooking tasks. This worked out to be a good balance of price, size, power, and features. There are a couple of things I don't like, but I'd say they're somewhat minor. The glass on the door is pretty dark and very hard to see inside when something is cooking. I realize it's a mirrored look, but it would be nice if the light inside could make it so we could see the food heating. The buttons are a little hard to read unless you're at the right angle and pretty close to the microwave because of the mirrored finish. The mirrored finish also attracts fingerprints like crazy. They clean up easily, but do show quite a bit, especially with small kids around. None of those detract from the function of the microwave to heat food, but could make a difference to some.

Bought this to replace a Sharp that lasted about 20 years, if that exact one were still available, I would have bought it again. This MW looks good on the counter, but it needs soft rubber feet to keep it from sliding around when you press the door open button. I like the keypad in terms of cleaning, it wipes clean easily, but the buttons can take a medium hard press to register. Sensor cook works perfectly for popcorn. Other units I've owned and used have a minute+ button, hit it once to go for a minute, twice for two, etc. This unit does the same but in 30 second units, so for a minute, you have to press it twice. Also, I'd like to press in the amount of time then hit the timer to time something, but the timer on this is more complicated - you have to press timer, then the time, then start. That takes a little getting used to. One thing I like is that when cooking is done and it beeps, if you don't open the door, it will beep again in a short while to remind you that something's still in there (and keep on doing this until you press stop or open the door).

Well, it's a microwave and that's about it. Our old microwave died and we've now had this one a little over a month. I loved our old microwave and looked for one that had similar features. I wanted a 30 second function along with the 10 second more/less capability. I also wanted one that didn't continuously beep when done - but this one fails in that feature in that it gives four beeps when done and then three beeps every minute after that, but it will only do it four times and then it stops. I find the sensor cook settings to be completely useless since you have to take the food out of it's packaging (ie: microwave packaging) and put it in a dish covered with plastic wrap. Even after following directions it seems to either cook too long or not long enough (admittedly, I've only used this a couple times). It's also lacking in power, our old microwave was also 1100 watt but heated faster/better than this one. What took one minute in the old microwave takes one minute and 25 seconds in this one. It is near impossible to see inside while cooking unless the room is darkened .. but then it will be impossible to read the buttons;you will need good lighting to read the buttons. This microwave will meet your basic needs and looks kind of cool (except for the fingerprints that show very easily), but it's not anything to brag about. I would recommend this microwave because it meets our basic needs but not if you want to use the sensor.

This was a replacement for a Sharp carousel microwave I had for 23 years that died. Hard to find one that measures up. The first one I bought was a Sharp carousel, but it had a way too short cord and the turntable was small and cheap quality. After lengthy phone call to a Best Buy in-store customer service rep trying to find a microwave with cord longer than 2 ft., she offered to transfer me to someone at Pacific Sales inside that BB store and Bingo! He was able to tell me about this LG model that has a 3ft. cord. and a larger interior and turntable. It was easy to set up and looks good. Also is pretty quiet. I still have to learn the shortcut controls. My only complaint is the print and the buttons are very small on the control panel and I have it placed low so it is hard to see.

Good microwave. Have to work the angles correctly in order to see the buttons, but it doesn't bother me much. Reflection on the front may cause conflicts in a kitchen that isn't well-lit, due to the reflection on the buttons. Also, you're not really able to see the food inside because of the reflective display. I'm satisfied with the sales price, but for full retail, I would've probably returned it. Hope this helps.

Bought this microwave because it was the closest fit to my built in size. Microwave takes longer then previous one that was 1200 w. This one is 1100 but old one took 1 min 30 sec to boil water, this one 2 min so the 1000 w diff is a lot. This microwave looks great! But, the great looks have a cost. The touch pad is a bit hard to see because it is has a reflective finish. The inside is dark grey and not white, plus the light is on the side rather than in the back. This makes it a bit hard to see the food while cooking. That is why I said it was good and not great.

Purchased this microwave when our 10 year old Sharp gave out. Had just remodeled the kitchen so went with the White color version. The White color looks great in our kitchen and the mirrored glass door is a nice touch. However, the number pad seems to be white on silver, or mirrored. The numbers are hard to see and I find I need to move my head up or down to get the reflection just right to see the numbers. I also miss the one-touch Reheat button that the Sharp microwave had. Other than those two minor inconveniences we are pleased with our purchase.
