Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great microwave! It is easy to use and looks great in our kitchen. It is well made, the quality is evident in the design and appearance. The stainless trim doesn’t fingerprint easily. The size is perfect for casserole dishes. I was skeptical of the controls (no number pad) but it was easy to adapt. I especially like that it has few buttons - easy to scan and find what you want. And I like the way the door operates without a push button, just pull the door open by the edge. I returned another manufacturer’s model because of lower quality features. I love this LG microwave and am happy to recommend it.

Our microwave went out after 14 years and had trouble finding a model that could fit in the space as must new ovens are deeper than past models. This model is the least deep one we can find with equivalent power and works very well. It has every feature one can imagine and looks good as well. Controls look a bit complicated but ones you read directions its pretty easy to use.

We looked at Panasonic brand at first, but switched to LG. This model tad bigger (1.5) than last midsize (1.2) we had. It was worn out after 5yrs and setting off circuit breaker with high volts (15 instead of 8), and so we needed a new microwave. Easy clean interior, luxury looking exterior, fancy keypad inside door, along with outside pad. Cute (Mario game?) end cycle sound. But with 1250 watts, it is very powerful, and most times heats super fast and evenly. Price is higher than previous purchases, but good reviews, and hopefully will last longer than cheap brands. After using a gift card, it was bought near cheaper (Oaster) prices. Uses led interior bulb. The door seems sturdy. Dual keypads can be confusing for some people, but is simple enough for us. Can’t direct key exact time, but quick 30sec jumps are convenient. Sensor cook so far is accurate . One touch cook works well. LG brand is rated very reliable. Not sure if smart inverter works better, or its just brand new, but heats very evenly. Can’t go wrong with this elegant, reliable, and great brand.

This is the best microwave I’ve ever owned. Not only is it beautiful; it works great as well. It’s very powerful, so it is so quick to cook or warm up your meals. It also plays a beautiful melody when it’s finished. Buy this microwave, and you won’t go wrong.

Excellent microwave to replace the really crappy one I had. I was intrigued by the sensor cooking and tested it out once it was unboxed. Burned my mouth so I cautiously use the sensor cooking now. It’s very powerful and easy to clean. Looks sleek since the buttons are hidden inside the door. Don’t get this if you are looking for the typical number buttons. This microwave has a slider on the door to adjust cooking times.

Unit looks nice in kitchen taking up very little counter space. Sleek design and quiet. Lots of room inside for the size of the microwave. Easy to use with quick references on the microwave itself.

Perfect size microwave for everything you need! Its not loud and its not to big. Its almost like touch screen and has cool features! Very nice looking and easy to open.

Nice compact size for such a powerful microwave. Also very easy to use (with some ovens you have to be a rocket scientist to figure them out) and I really like the design. Our last microwave that we were replacing ended up rusting out on the interior top. This oven has an interior light which makes it super easy to see spatters and wet steam that accumulates on the interior. Never noticed this before (the moisture) so we are now more aware of wiping it down after each use.

We bought this to replace a GE unit that lasted about 6 years. We bought it based on other reviews. We must be the exceptions, because we hate this machine. The controls to operate it are on the inside of the door and they do not light up, making it very difficult to see them. The timer feature is also on the inside of the door, so if you want to use it to time something that is not in the microwave, (which I often do), you have to open the microwave to set the timer. When you set the timer, it automatically starts at 10 seconds (WHY???) and then you have to hold the button until it reaches the time you want. I miss my old unit. I pressed 3 on the outside and it timed for 3 minutes. The alarm is so annoying. It's not a beep or a buzz. It's a jingle, like in a commercial. I wish there was some way to adjust it to something different. I seems to cook well, although it took 6 minutes this morning to boil 2 cups of water. My GE did it in less time I think. There is a popcorn setting (inside). There are other codes listed on the inside, potatoes, pizza, dinner plate, etc., which we have not used. I do like that it lights up inside during cooking. Other than that there isn't anything I really like about it. Best Buy has a 15 day -YES!! 15 days!!! return policy on appliances. So we cannot even return it. I may put it on Craig's list, since so many others seems to think it's fabulous, it should go quickly.

Purchased the LG NeoChef 1.5 Cu. Ft. after our old microwave of four years bit the dust. The LG's 1250 max wattage really makes a "BIG" difference. Heats food quickly and thoroughly, it's reasonably quiet and the interior cleans easily. It's also an attractive countertop appliance. Our only quibble is the sound it makes when it has completed the set cook time. The chime sounds like circus music. Other than that we're pleased with the LG unit.

Perfect size for any kitchen, not too big nor too small. Sleek design with easy clean up. Very powerful. Only downfall is that it does not have keypad, so you cannot simply enter a time. Instead you use the (+) button to have add time in 10, 30 or 60 second intervals.

This oven is not too large, but powerful enough for all my needs. Cute alert music--easy to use with a 30 second button. The price was super, too. It has many programs altho I use it mostly for warming up food and softening butter for baking. Easy to clean. I love it and would buy it again.

There are many choices in this price range this unit stands out. Easy to operate, very quiet and efficient. Fits easily in the kitchen on the countertop. it is easy to clean, the style is slick and attractive.

First tip: don't have this shipped to you! Mine arrived and after using it a couple days I was shocked that it was so loud when others reported how quiet it was. I returned it to the store and grabbed a replacement and was pleasantly surprised at just how quiet an undamaged version was. 1. The inside is quite spacious and you'll have no trouble fitting in even the largest dinner plate. 2. It is very quiet and makes a nice little jingle when it's done. 3. The capacative controls are very responsive and are intuitive despite how weird they look. The microwave is not only futuristic, but logically makes sense. Most of the time I just push the start button to add 30 second intervals. 4. Love how it opens by pulling it rather than pushing a button. 5. Super easy to clean (a good thing because the face of the microwave is prone to fingerprints).

I've read everyone else's review on this microwave. I love the size, the brightness of the inside lighting and the melody that is plays at the end. The sliding timer does take a bit of getting used to. But, its not a deal breaker for us. The buttons on the inside also take getting used to. But I love the look of it and the fact I dont have a door open button is actually NICE! I've had those break on other models.

This LG Microwave is the best microwave oven I have ever owned and I have had about 6 or 7over the last 30 years. First off it is very easy to learn and operate the controls. It is real nice looking and way easier to clean inside and out than any other microwave I have owned or used. There is no button to open the door, you just easily pull it open . The inside is a dark charcoal color instead of the common white. It has a good working cleaning mode that makes it effortless to clean baked on food. My favorite of the many great features is the hexagonal-shaped stabilizer ring that supports the turntable with 6 wheels for the turntable to rest upon instead of just 3. The added support means you can place even tall or heavy items anywhere you like without fear of them tipping over. And it makes a pleasant sound when cooking is done instead of the annoying beep. The best thing about this microwave is that it cooks everything to perfection the way it was intended to. This is now the 4th LG appliance we have purchased in the last 6 years and every one of them is now our favorite.

Bought 01/2023 , quiet , has more power than our old one , size is as it should be , easy to use after you get used to it , plays nice music instead of beeping , easy to clean , everyone at home likes it , would recommend

This Neochef does everything I need. Small but powerful with all the features and a great look on the counter.

It works well. I have two minor complaints that are more specific to my preferences than general cons. The BEST way to operate a microwave is to enter a number via keypad and press start. This microwave, like most, has some bizarre method of time input that really is a pain. Two minutes? Hit the start button 4 times. 8 minutes? Stroke the front of the door over and over again. Why do these guys need to try to be innovative? Next up, is the door latch. The handle on the edge of the door is U-shaped, and completely covers the body of the microwave. So, you can't use your thumb or knuckles to pry the door open. In fact, trying to open the door with one hand will cause the microwave to move.... if it sits on a smooth surface. You may want to put it on a rubber mat or something. I find most of the fancy "sensor" settings to be useless, but I certainly expected that. It's a good, strong microwave and a decent size. It looks nice. It tries to be too cute so it only gets 4 stars.

When our old microwave bit the dust, we purchased this after reading reviews, plus it was on sale at the time. We like the sleek, streamlined look. The 1.5 Cu. Ft. size is good for us because it doesn’t take up a huge amount of counter space but most of our baking dishes will fit inside. Right away we noticed this defrosts frozen food more evenly than in our old microwave. Also, the unique design of the turntable is more stable than the old one. Having a touchscreen makes it easier to clean than grimy buttons. The interior is also very easy to clean and seems to repel splatters, just a few quick wipes is all it takes. All in all, this has very nice features without being over the top.
