    We had an LG microwave previously and purchased this newer model which is very similar in style. Easy to use and looks good.

    High quality product

    This was a gift from my daughter. After having returned another product (well known brand name, made in China) multiple times, we tried this model. The build quality is great (made in S Korea). Inverter cooking is superior to quick cooking and the inverter reduces power evenly (versus on/off on regular models). Sensor cooking and Power Level cooking work flawless. The beep is gentle to the ear, not annoying like in other models (I would normally turn it off but it is not annoying and I have not found an easy way to turn it off). Excellent product and I would highly recommend it.

    Good Microwave

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Seems to heat well. I've pulled bags of popcorn prior to the end of the heating cycle as few kernels were popping and I didn't want it to burn. Outside of that, works very nicely - just make sure if using the sensor heating, that the correct option is chosen - reheat or cook - that was my error.

    Easy to use and it cooks evenly. We had a limited amount of space in our pantry so measurements limited size.

    Smelly and Smoky

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I saw other reviews about food smoking while cooking and complaints about the smell before I purchased this item but rode off the reviews since I liked the look of this microwave in my kitchen and it was hard to find a microwave that fit in my little countertop space. I elected to purchase anyways and man, they were right!!! This microwave smells HORRIBLE! I’m concerned about the smell to where I’m scared to use the microwave to cook my food. Something is not right. Whatever you cook, smokes a lot. That’s scary!

    Watch out - Product Specifications Differ From Box

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Product specifications on site state microwave is 1250W. Verified wattage with Best Buy customer service when ordered microwave . Picked up microwave at store. Box stated 1200W. Contacted Best Buy regarding issue. Best Buy employees stated manufacturer supplies information to website. Best Buy should confirm product specifications are correct before information is on Best Buy site and immediately revise information if it is incorrect. Disappointed with experience.

    Best buy sucks with their customer service. The item I purchased had a mechanical issue when I took to store they opened the items from the box and called the manager because there was a small scratch on the item. They refused to refund and didn't even help box the item.

      Hi, Nich. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG Microwave (MSER1590S) model. We’re happy you liked the sleek design and button features, but we understand your concern about the noise and the uneven heating performance, especially regarding sensitive products.

    LG is horrible

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Any LG Microwave that has the open button flush like this one breaks within 2 years. I am on my second microwave (I thought the first was a fluke) this model and again it broke. LG should be taxed for creating horrible products that end up at the dump.
