What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the microwave for quick, even heating and sleek, compact design that fits modern kitchens. Most highlight the 1200-watt power, intuitive controls, and convenient features like child lock and quiet operation. However, some report build quality concerns including vibrations, rumbling noises, and a flimsy door latch. A few mention sensor cooking modes failing to work reliably and premature unit failures within a year. Despite these isolated issues, most customers find it delivers strong performance and value for everyday use.

Would RecommendHeat up real well and even with less time than my old microwave. The only negatives are needing to press the side button while pressing the open button. Its an unnecessary step and hard for younger children, taking away their independence. doesnt have quick one button time options which i founs very convenient jn other models. And the buttons require longer harder pressing than om used to.

Beware of "door" messages
Would Not RecommendI would have given it a 0 if that was allowed. This microwave has never worked. Every time I touch the Start button, a "door" error message shows (and then disappears). The light goes on, but nothing else happens. I have been through LG's troubleshooting, and was promised in Live Chat that a service person would call me, but 5 days later, I have never received a call.

It got some better reviews than I just gave it.
Would Not Recommendit is not as well built than the same model from 5 years ago. It makes noises the other didn't and moisture builds up inside while heating. It also has a fog or smoke color coming out from it when opening the door after heating.

Great size and reliable operation
Would RecommendThis unit was a 1-4-1replacement for a 7 year old unit - due to the unique size requirement for the in cabinet structure. This new unit has updated controls that are much more simple. Hopefully the LED lights will last long than the last unit, which was the only reason it had to be replaced, when we could no longer read the display.

Great value for a basic microwave oven.
Would RecommendThis is a simple to use, no frills, economical microwave oven. It seems to be very good quality. This will probably work well for the average user who doesn't need a lot of specialized features.

Child safety lock
Would RecommendI was beginning to not like this purchase due to the child safety lock feature. It was very frustrating trying to operate. But then read the instructions and found you can actually disable it with just a twist of the side push button with a screwdriver. Much better! Makes it so much easier to push just one button instead of two in order to open the door.
