    I really like this microwave mainly because of the looks. Only gave 4 stars because the back panel rattled until I added some shelf grip liner between the two metal pieces.

    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.

    I love this microwave it was a wonderful replacement for my old LG. It works great and doesn't have that same annoying microwave beep noise. It also has child safety latch but you can turn off and on as needed. It looks modern and fits in great to the kitchen. I recommend it.

    Works good. It’s a little loud at first but you get used to it. Has good power and cooks well. Decently easy to clean. Do like that it’s childproof, and the setting to remove it is easy. Touch screen can be hit or miss sometimes, but our family is overall satisfied.

    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.

    Old one died, picked this one up quickly. Works well. No loud buzz or chime when done, but that doesn't bother me. What I especially like is that setting cook time is simple and direct. "Type" in 33 or 111 and "go" and it runs for thirty-three seconds, one minute eleven seconds, etc. It also has a 30-second button, but our other microwave was limited to whole and half minutes.
