    DISAPPOINTED! My wife & I loved the 0.9 cu ft model; but wanted to upsize. This model does NOT have all the same features as our previous model: 1. Color/Finish: the ONLY thing stainless steel on this model is a small 1-1/2” band across the bottom front! 98% of the microwave is BLACK! It does NOT match all our other stainless steel appliances! 2. The “done” melody: our previous model played a wonderful melody letting you know the cooking was done. This model only has a quick 2-note tone. 3. 1-Touch Speed Start: This model does NOT have the quick 1, 2, 3, etc up to 9 minute quick start! It only has a 30-second quick start each time you press the start button (which the 0.9 cu ft model also had). Additionally, the 0.9 cu ft model had a sliding time bar where pressing the + button allowed you to add 10 seconds for each press, to your cook time. This model dosn’t have that feature!

    A good choice for a countertop microwave

    Our built in Whirlpool microwave died suddenly after 19 years. Not a bad lifetime. However, when we went to replace it, we discovered that it and the cabinet enclosure built for it were a non-standard size and small to boot. Also, it was hardwired. Not being electricians, we would have doubled our replacement cost by having to hire an electrician. This LG microwave currently is at the top of Consumer Reports' list. Price is very reasonable for this size of oven. And replacing a built-in with a countertop model is half as costly for us, since we don't need to hire an electrician. Its only major drawback is that it takes up a sizeable chunk of countertop space. The microwave operation is conventional and intuitive (although it always is helpful to review the guide for more subtle features). Noise level is modest, which is a big plus. Some reviewers complain about the chimes, but they are not loud and strike us as pleasant and relatively unobtrusive. The microwave is a bit more powerful than our older model, so we are finding that we need to reduce the cooking times that we are used to just a little bit (which is a plus). The sensor cooking, however, does not work optimally and tends to overcook. However, our experience with it is limited at this point, so it may only be certain foods for which this is a problem. If appearance is important, this microwave looks very sleek.

    My only small complaint was that the child lock was a bit difficult to disable at first but once we got that out of the way, it was a breeze. We love the color and the finish, as it matches perfectly with our countertops. Very simple, and easy to use microwave.

    I recently purchased the LG [model] microwave, and it has been excellent so far. It heats food quickly and evenly, and the sensor cook feature takes the guesswork out of reheating. The controls are simple to use, and the sleek design looks great in my kitchen. It’s also quieter than my old microwave and very easy to keep clean. Overall, a solid, reliable appliance that makes everyday cooking and reheating so much easier. Highly recommend!"

    We’ve had this microwave for a few weeks now. What I like is the size, it has good power, and the buttons are uncomplicated. What I don’t like is the “add 30 seconds” button is unclear where to push. And often doesn’t engage when I push the same spot. I feel like I have to hit a moving target. Would I buy it again? Probably. But I can’t endorse it completely.

    Looks great. Noisy. Mine was missing feet. Bought 4 LG microwaves over the years. Quality is meh. The turntable on the larger models kept breaking, so the plate wouldn't spin. This one has a more reliable setup, however the rolling frame under the glass tray is noisy and the wheels audibly drag inside the unit. There's substantially less sound deadening than my previous LG microwave of the same size. The epoxy coating on the inside is a gray color, but it doesn't seem as easy to clean as some other brand's coatings. But it looks good, the door mechanism seems reliable, and it's pretty powerful. I don't use the smart features, so I feel like these drive up the price. I have noticed less EMF noise when using this unit vs the old one. Not sure what changed, but my wireless devices don't go on the fritz when using it. I also enjoy the button selection, though the tactility of the buttons could be improved. At least I can select 12 seconds cook time if I want to, which is honestly an improvement over the other microwaves. Why is it so hard to put number buttons that work well? Powerful, sleek, and good feature set with buttons! But a little louder than the old one, quality control is meh.

    It looks great and works great. The only issue I have with this unit would be the touch buttons. I didn’t want to take away from the star rating because I think it’s a preference thing. I would prefer something more tactical. But besides that I love it.

    I am very happy with the functionality and power of this microwave. Opening the door again by pressing the special part of the front panel took a little getting used to after having an LG model that one pulled open on the right side. The various chimes that indicate that the food has just stopped heating or that it is waiting to be removed are very pleasant to the ear. It is amusing that the oven will cue you with the word "FOOD" if you set a cooking time and press start without putting any food into the oven. The oven interior is quite spacious, with a more-than-adequately-sized revolving glass tray of substantial weight and quality, I disabled the button that makes door opening child-resistant because that feature is not needed in our home. I like the fact that I can now set heating time in increments of single seconds; my last LG microwave only allowed ten-second increments. I had some difficulty in setting the clock, having to unplug the oven when I discovered that I had inadvertently set the wrong time. One change that I would make would be in the appearance of the oven: I prefer more stainless steel and less black in the front frame of the oven.
