Customer Ratings & Reviews

RE: INVERTER TECH: If you like to reduce the power level when microwaving food or wish that microwaves did a better job at it, you need an inverter microwave, and this is the one. I’ve been using inverter microwaves for several years and I would never go back by choice. Inverter tech allows you to truly reduce the amount of power going to heat your food rather than the microwave just intermittently cutting power. In the mornings, I heat up my coffee milk at 70% power for 30 seconds, and it comes out perfectly, without tasting burnt or curdled. RE: HOT SPOTS: I heat a lot of pre-packaged microwave meals through a delivery service, and so far, I haven’t had a single hot spot in my food, whether using full or partial power. If something is undercooked, the whole thing is and in equal measure. I’ve never experienced that with any other microwave, not even my prior inverter microwave. RE: SIZE: I actually needed two microwaves, so I got this model (.9 cu ft) and the bigger 1.5cu ft version. They both work equally well, but, honestly, I don’t think I needed the bigger model. I can fit a standard dinner plate in the .9cu ft model with about 1/2 inch to spare on each side of the plate , and I rarely ever put large casserole dishes in a microwave. If I do ever need to, however, I guess I’ll have the option with the bigger one! That’s all to say, if you don’t plan to heat large casserole dishes, get the .9cuft model. RE: AESTHETICS: This microwave is very attractive. The sleek black and stainless steel lines blend easily with the rest of my decor. This is nice since I have an efficiency, and not a full kitchen where kitchen things belong. RE: UNDERSTATED BUTTONS: Some reviews complain that the lack of backlighting makes it difficult to read the key pad. I don’t have good eyesight, myself, but the only thing I have found a little hard to read in dim lighting is the start button and that’s because it’s well below eye Level and it has a lot of writing. If your eyesight is really bad, and you can’t put this in a well lit space, this may not be the right option for you. I’d personally, however, rather have an understated keypad that I occasionally have to stare at for an extra second than to have a big obnoxious keypad in the middle of my living space. RE: PRESETS: If you love having preset buttons for things like baked potatoes and soup, this microwave will disappoint you. The only preset button offered is for popcorn. This is perfect for me, though, because I never, ever use presets, and I hate how they complicate the keypad. I’d rather look up cooking times online.

I recently purchased this microwave from Best Buy, and it has exceeded my expectations. It heats food quickly and evenly, and the sensor cooking feature is a game-changer. The interior is spacious and easy to clean, and the controls are straightforward and intuitive. It's also surprisingly quiet compared to my old microwave. Overall, it's a fantastic appliance that offers great value for the price, and I highly recommend it."

This microwave has everything we need - cooking speed, ease of use and smaller size. After reading reviews I was a bit hesitant due to complaints of the child lock and difficulty opening the door. Neither of these are real issues as you can simply disengage the child lock with the simple turn of a screwdriver and the door opens easily if you press the clearly marked spot. I find this microwave easy to operate and it meets all our needs.

Clean, minimalist design. Works well. Large enough to hold a 11 in. pizza. Display timer is a bit too small to read across the room. Soft chime. Touch button numbers are very low contrast - hard to read in dim light. Three mounting feet only 1/8 in. height - Added extensions so door will clear counter lip. Added buttons to stainless steel strip to keep fingerprints off surface which surprisingly discolors slightly when cleaning. At 100% power seems to run somewhat hot - Need to reduce 3 minute cooking time to 2 min 50 sec.

Easy to use and versitile. Attractive streamlined appearance. Fits easily on counter space below cupboard with a little work room allowed on counter in front. Very helpful user manual.

This is a nice small microwave. It appears well made and its controls are easy to understand. As an inverter-type, it delivers power in a steady manner, instead of a conventional microwave's pulses of high power. One benefit of this is that at 70% or lower power levels, this microwave can be powered by a 1000-watt inverter. My use case for this unit is to cook in a camping van on battery power, so the ability to run off a smallish inverter is ideal. I'm happy with my purchase.

I bought this microwave for my mom, and it couldn’t be more perfect! The size is just right—not too big, not too small—making it ideal for her kitchen countertop without taking up too much space. It works flawlessly, heats evenly, and is super easy to use. The design is also a huge plus—it looks sleek and modern, and my mom actually commented on how nice it looks in her kitchen. Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase. It’s exactly what I was looking for!

All features on this microwave are phenomenal as they do not have on just any other microwave! IT IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST YOU CAN GET! The smallness saves on counter space also. AND WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT YOU CAN GET 1000 WATTS OF POWER FROM THIS SMALLER MACHINE.

I love this little microwave. I needed something small due to the limited counter space in my kitchen. The design is simple and blends in nicely without creating an eye-sore. Since I don't heat anything larger than a dinner plate the interior is perfectly sized and the turn-table ensures even cooking. It's very quiet when running. I do wish the done chime were a bit louder though so I could hear it if not in the kitchen. The LED interior light is a great touch also. This is a great value item for the price!

We bought this oven to replace a 21+ year-old microwave, and we’re quite happy with it. It has the same power and capacity as the one we replaced, so cooking is essentially the same. In the past 21 years user interfaces have made a number of advancements, so the only real challenge with this new device was figuring out which button to push for what - which wasn’t a real chore. The LG microwave is quieter than our old microwave, and offers several safety features not available in the past. One is a child safety lock on the door latch (which can be bypassed). This prevents little ones from messing around with the oven because it takes two steps to open it. Another is that it wants you to be sure you aren’t starting it without having put food in…this feature was not clear in the instructions, and was the only real stumbling block we came across. Note: if the display says “FOOD”, that means you need to put food in the oven before it will start. And it needs you to open the door, put in the food, then close the door in a fairly short period of time, so so putting stuff in then going back to it a few minutes later doesn’t work. This purchase was both affordable and a nice upgrade over our old workhorse microwave.

Had an older version of this, but hen the led panel quit. Found it was about the same price to fix the old tha. It was to buy a new one. But now thy have thr door unlock button. Happy with the purchase . Simple to use , large enough for big meals Only wish they would make the text light up and larger in Order to see it better

One month after purchasing and works great and esay to use. We love how compact is.

This is a typical, standard microwave; there isn't anything particularly special about it. It does a great job of warming food and has a very sleek look. However, the worst part of this microwave is the Auto Reheat function. ​This isn't the type of "Auto Reheat" where you simply press a button, walk away, and return to heated food. To use this function, you have to press the auto reheat button and then select a number from 1 to 5, with each number representing a specific category: 1-​Beverage (1–2 cups, 240 ml per cup) ​2-Casserole (10–20 oz) ​3-Dinner Plate (1 serving) ​4-Pie (10–20 oz) ​5-Pizza (1–3 slices) ​Beyond the fact that this is super inconvenient unless you memorize each setting (which, of course, I haven't), there is no quick way to know which food each number relates to without referring to the manual. Overall, however, this microwave is a solid product. It does what it’s supposed to do, so I am happy with it.

Fits perfectly in the kitchen space we planned for it, quiet operation , easy to use.

Yoo this microwave was hands down the best microwave a single man with no love life could have. The soft, lovely beeping it makes when the food is done makes you think that someone you love is in the room next to you, until you realize its this LG microwave! It mimics a wife perfectly bc all you have to do is push a few buttons and this thing gets to work in the kitchen! No complaining, no bs, just straight to the point heating up my sandwich. It's sleek, lightweight, curved design only makes you think of all the possibilities you could have with it. It also hands down makes the best foods you could imagine. Overall, lets be honest, I have no complaints. I will never part ways with this amazing machine and you won't want to, either!

Very nice looking microwave but you have to hit the side button to unlock? You can’t just open the door and you need extra minutes to get your food really hot!

Worked great and we love the lock/safety feature on the microwave. We had a prior different model and make and out food was never warm, this microwave has been so much better

Perfect size, replaced a lower power microwave. Works very well and is quiet.

Purchased for eldery grandparents. Needed small unit for the space they have. Very easy to use with easy to read display and understandable cooking options/features. Very powerful for its size and they liked the modern look.

Great priduct. Easy to understand and use. Easily fits into a coner on my kitchen counter. Yet spacious enough to use for stuff you need for a family of 3. Would recommend to others.
