    I bought this microwave because of the good reviews but I am very disappointed. It looks better in pics that what really is, smelled weird the first day I used it (like burning plastic), the settings are way basic, (not different options) and it doesn’t warm up any better than any other cheaper microwave so not worth the price. I didn’t return it because i threw away the box as soon as I opened. I won’t recommend it

      Hi there, Susana. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the LG MSER0990S microwave. We understand how concerning it must be when a product doesn't perform as hoped, especially after relying on positive reviews. The initial odor you noticed may occur as a result of protective oils or residues from the manufacturing process and should dissipate after a few uses. We recommend wiping the interior with a mild solution of water and baking soda and running the unit with a cup of water and lemon juice for several minutes to help eliminate lingering odors. In terms of performance, if you're noticing that the microwave isn’t heating properly, we suggest checking that you're using microwave-safe containers and that the turntable is correctly aligned, as this can impact even heating. You may access this link related to your concern:https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-microwave-why-is-my-microwave-not-heating--1428511871544.

      We’d appreciate the opportunity to assist you further. Please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport so we can explore potential solutions. Your feedback matters, and we're here to help make things right.

    Best powerful, compact microwave. I had the older model for over 7 years and wouldn’t go to any other make. Fits perfect in my space and still has a lot of room inside, plus lots of power.

    I just bought this and I hate it. I have used microwave ovens for years, decades to be honest. The LG is confusing and diffuclt to use. There's a sticker next to the door button with instructions on how to open. You have to use your right middle finger. And ONLY your right hand, to press a small button on the side that releases the door button on the front. Here's a clue: If you need instructions to show people how to just open the door, you have made your product difficult to use. That sticker will wear off in short order and then every new person to use it will have to study the design until they notice a small black button on the side. This is dumb. Have something in your right hand and want to open with your left? No. Not physically possible. I tried auto reheat for a cup of water. It's a lot of steps to just set 2 minutes. The menu suggests that you can adjust the number of cups. But you can't as you try to find the +/- buttons or enter 1, 2, 3 or some other key to change the display. I have a broken microwave that takes several minutes to just heat a cup of water and I'm going to use it instead and return this one.

    This microwave arrived with a fatal door open issue which prevented it from microwaving anything so I had to return it. On top of that, the interface was very very slow making pressing the keys a much longer process than it should be. I'm not sure if the two are related but it doubt it. I bought a much cheaper insignia microwave at my local best buy store after I returned this one and its exactly what you want. Responsive microwave without any extras you don't use anyway getting in the way.

      Hi, Thomas. thank you for sharing your experience with the LG Microwave (MSER0990S) model.

      We understand the importance of having an appliance that is both reliable and responsive to your inputs. When a microwave door sensor prevents operation, it is typically a safety feature designed to ensure the unit cannot run while the cavity is open. However, experiencing a "fatal" issue upon arrival is certainly not the performance standard we aim for. Regarding the interface responsiveness, our modern microwaves are designed with high-density control boards; if you notice a delay in key registration, it can sometimes be attributed to a software processing lag.

      You can find further details regarding the installation and operational troubleshooting for our microwave here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-MSER0990S.BSTELGA. If you’d like us to take a closer look at what happened with your unit or explore additional troubleshooting steps, please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. We're here to help. ^Juvy LG

    Very good appliance. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because it's a little sensitive trying to get it to power up.

    The microwave oven is powerful to be so small, but it is somewhat difficult to use because the operational buttons on the front are hard to see. I saw other reviewers suggest that backlighting them would help, and I agree completely.

    Part of the touch pad is very hard to use, the stop/clear and start/enter can’t be push hard enough to get them to work sometimes. Once you get the controls to work the rest of it works fine.
