    Works just as advertised. The 30 sec timer is a great shortcut. Having to add time in 1 sec. increments is both helpful and inefficient at the same time.

    Purchased this new in November 2025. It worked great over the previous two months. Food seemed to cook more quickly than my old Magic Chef. Just today it stopped heating as if the magnetron has died. I opened a warranty claim with LG and am waiting for a call from the Returns Department.

      Hi, Chris. Thank you for reaching out. We understand how important it is for your LG Microwave (MSER1590S) model to stay reliable, especially after only a couple of months of use. One helpful step you can try while you wait for the Returns Department is confirming that the cook timer, power level, and child lock settings aren’t preventing the unit from heating. Occasionally, an accidental setting change can make the microwave appear to run normally while producing no heat. For more guidance, visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-microwave-why-is-my-microwave-not-heating-properly--20153229630502. We’d like to take a closer look at your situation and make sure your case is properly reviewed. Please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com so our team can assist further. ^Juvy LG

    It has performed well so far. It took a little time learning how the controls worked. We bought our last microwave in 1988.

    It is quite loud, louder when running than any other microwave we have ever had. And we have had several LG microwaves and our other appliances are also LG.

    The only thing I don’t like is that the child can easily unlock the microwave to start it by a hard press on the stop button my grandson is 18 months and I watched him unlock it now he’s trying to see if he can get the door open on it

    It’s very good but a bit difficult to get adjusted to. I think it could be easier to work with. You can’t get past sitting down with the manual to get it going.

    Broke twice on me in a year

    It's was a nice microwave when it worked. Unfortunately it didn't last. After 3 months of owning it and it being used occasionally it stopped heating food completely. I called BB since I had the total membership that covers it for 2 years. They told me they would do nothing for me since it was under the manufacturer warranty. I went to LG for repair service, much can be said for how poor the customer service. After many back and forth communications with phone calls and emails with pictures they decided to send me a new one. That whole process took roughly a month. New one came in and worked well. Fast-forward 8 months, late at night the glass on the microwave door shattered. Not sure how since everyone was asleep. I'm outside of LG warranty. So I called BB total protection. They had me set up a appointment in store. They proceeded to tell me there is zero they can do. They don't repair small appliances in store and they don't have anyone outside that does. Ok so what is the point on the protection? Don't buy from BB thinking it protected, it's not.

      Hi, John. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG Microwave (MSER1590S) model. We’re hear about the challenges you’ve faced, and we understand when both the product and protection plan fall short of expectations. Microwave door glass shattering unexpectedly is rare and concerning. In the meantime, you can find product support and safety information here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-MSER1590S.BSTELGA. While LG’s standard warranty typically covers one year from the original purchase date, we recommend reaching out to our team directly at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com with your service history and photos of the damage. We’re here to help however we can. ^Juvy LG

    Panel very low lighting which isn’t desirable. Also when you use sensor reheat if you use liquid setting it will boil on occasion also undesirable. Not my favorite microwave.
