Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wonderful addition to our kitchen appliances! This microwave has all the bells and whistles of the more expensive designs and small enough to fit in the space originally designed to our customized home!

My son was moving into his first apartment and needed a medium sized counter-top microwave oven. We found this one on sale. It is the perfect size and has all the features he wanted for a very good price.

I’m genuinely impressed with this LG 1.5 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave. It’s one of those purchases that just makes everyday life easier. The Smart Inverter technology heats food evenly—no more cold spots—which I really appreciate, especially when reheating meals. The sensor cooking feature is a game changer. I don’t have to guess cooking times anymore; it just knows what to do and gets it right. Everything comes out perfectly heated without drying out. It’s also sleek and modern looking, and it fits beautifully in my kitchen. The controls are simple, responsive, and easy to use. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase from Best Buy. It’s reliable, efficient, and delivers exactly what I need. Highly recommend!

I'll start with my biggest gripe - the "meal is done" chime stops playing after five minutes. The chimes sound every 30 seconds or so, and they're not annoying, but if you got distracted or are just letting the food sit for a while, after 5 minutes, it stops chiming. So the distracted person no longer has a reminder that there's food inside (no chimes and the light is off). Parents who use the microwave to sterilize their baby bottles are supposed to leave them in there to sit for a few minutes. No chimes after 5 minutes can mean you forget to take them out until you need them, but then they're still wet. I'd like to be able to let the chimes continue forever until the door is opened. For me, this cost one star - it's a problem, but not big enough to return it. I like that this microwave's capacity is large enough to hold a dinner plate, yet the external dimensions are perfect for the space between my stove and wall (where my previous microwave was). A smaller drawback is that you can't customize or disable the energy efficiency feature - the light will turn off after five minutes, if you leave the door open. That dark inside is how I knew my previous microwave needed to be replaced. I'd buy this again, but I'd prefer a model (or brand) that keeps chiming to let me know there's something inside the microwave.

The microwave oven works very well. Easy to use and looks good on our counter.

We love this microwave. It is modern looking and sleek. The sound of it seems quite and not disturbing.

This is a very powerful microwave with lots of features and very looking too. The chrome finish adds to our kitchen.

Good microwave. Consistent heat, easy to program and use. The door has a child safety lock, which is great if you have kids, but you can also disengage it if you don’t. This is my second one in five years. The first one did not last more than five years, but for the price the ease in use and simple stick programming was worth it.

I would highly recommend this microwave. At the beginning I found the locking mechanism to be a little annoying but after couple days it didn’t matter. I found myself unlocking and opening the door to the unit without thought. The heating of my food seems to be “evenly” distributed.

Great product. Been working very well. The only thing I miss is the door handle. Don't really care for the push button to open on the side, but I will get used to it. Overall, at very good product.

Initially bought to replace a 10yr old microwave. We like the look, features and functionality .. so overall i give the product a 4. However we did return because of the child saftey feature, it turned out to be more of a hassle than we thought for opening the microwave. In addition the microwave is located higher up for us so would not be a issue with our kids, but if you have kids and its reqchable then give it a go its a nice add.

Everything about this microwave saya a 5 star rating should be applied, except for one thing - the door opening function. It features a dual push button to open the door. It can be cumbersome and annoying, but you'll get used to it. That said, I can't see the logic for that design. Overall, however, a good product!

Very useful and compact. I like that it gives an indication that cooking is done

I love it! It's exactly what I wanted. So easy to use. Very fast and much more powerful than my old one. The sensor cooking and smart inverter are great additions. And it makes popcorn in 2.15 minutes! ☺ Very happy with this purchase.

I like this microwave. It fits my needs well and seems like a quality product. The only issue I have noticed is that there is a chemical and/or metallic smell that is somewhat strong when I first started using it. The smell seems to get into the food I cook, so much so that I could taste it (like a metal taste). I am sure that this smell will eventually dissipate, but it's not great that I can't really use this for any food I intend to eat before then.

This LG 1.5 cu. ft. microwave looks nice with its black and stainless steel design. It works great and has plenty of space for cooking. The price is good for such a high-quality product.

Works great Very quiet compared to my ols microwave

I recently purchased the LG microwave, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The first thing that stands out is its elegant color, which adds a touch of sophistication to my kitchen. It blends perfectly with my other appliances and enhances the overall aesthetic of the space. In terms of functionality, this microwave performs exceptionally well. It heats food quickly and evenly, and the various settings make it easy to cook a wide range of dishes. Overall, I highly recommend the LG microwave for anyone looking for a combination of style and efficiency. Its elegant design and impressive performance make it a fantastic addition to any kitchen.

very pleased with microwave It works well and does not take up too much space.

We researched this microwave to find it would be the perfect size, look and performance we needed. Unfortunately we had to buy 3 microwaves before we found one that worked, wasn't dented and wasn't noisy. Although it was a higher price than we originally bought the first two microwaves at, it was better to buy it then than spend more time and engergy looking.
