    Overview

    LG’s NeoChef 42L Smart Inverter Microwave Oven is packed with innovative features designed to add more convenience to your life and to get the best cooking results. The Smart Inverter motor varies the power delivered during cooking for excellent, energy-saving results.

    The spacious 42L interior provides plenty of room for larger dishes. Boasting 28 auto-cook menus, with this one appliance you can warm, defrost and cook. Precise temperature controls are in place to ensure even defrosting of your frozen foods.

    An anti-bacterial coating in the interior eliminates 99.9% of harmful bacteria from the surface, and makes cleaning easy. Plus, the hexagonal ring design of the turntable ensures it remains stable. Finished in black stainless steel, this microwave offers a modern, stylish appearance.
    Inverter Heating

    While a typical microwave simulates a lower power level by switching the maximum power on and off again, an inverter microwave such as this one provides a constant flow of energy at the selected power level, a bit like a gas burner on half heat. This helps to ensure that your food is evenly and consistently heated, for more delicious results.

    LED Lighting

    Modern LED lighting runs efficiently, providing bright, even illumination, and allows you to easily keep an eye on the cooking progress.

    Anti-bacterial Coating

    Improves hygiene within the microwave by eliminating 99.9% of harmful bacteria from the interior’s surface. The coating also makes cleaning a breeze. Just a few wipes are all it takes to keep it clean.

    Auto cooking menus

    Choose from a range of multiple automatic cooking settings, including selections for bacon, jacket potatoes, fresh vegetables, and yogurt proofing.

    The microwave is generally well-received, with many customers praising its great performance, sleek design, and user-friendly features. Reviewers highlight the even heating, consistent cooking, and convenient functions like the defrost and soften settings. Many appreciate the stylish look and minimal controls, as well as the pleasant chime when the cooking is complete. However, some customers have experienced issues with the power button becoming unresponsive or the microwave malfunctioning after a few months of use. A few also find the control panel and manual temperature/timing controls not very intuitive. Overall, the majority of customers are satisfied and recommend it as a quality, high-performing appliance.

    WONDERFUL LG MICROWAVE, SUPERB QUALITY.
    This LG Microwave is fabulous (as are all the LG Appliances and TV'S we own). Looks very stylish on benchtop. So many functions available, easy to use and clean. Love the door opening process. Highly recommended this microwave.

    Smooth touch features and excellent cooking
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave oven is 'button free' stylish and operates wonderfully. The smooth very responsive touch panel makes it simple to set cooking times. It's a great looking device that suits out 'smooth finish' kitchen very nicely.

    Questions & answers

    Hi, are the touch controls illuminated? This makes use under bench much easier. Pete76 · 2025-01-21
    Hi there, Thank you for your question. No, the touch controls on this model are not illuminated, however, being light in colour against a dark background gives them excellent contrast allowing the controls to be easily identified under most lighting conditions and in most installation types. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Appliances Online Adam Vaccaro, Appliances Online
    Hi there, I was about to buy this microwave but started reading the specs and noted the minimum noise level is 1200db. Could you please verify this is correct. My 92 yo neighbour might be deaf, but I don’t want to end up like him. Hottie · 2023-06-03
    Good Morning, Thank you for this product question, sorry that this was an error on our part as suppliers do not include the decibel rating, the noise from a microwave is more of a humming sound that is able to be heard. I have removed this decibel rating as this was referring to the microwave's 1200-watt power nothing to do with the decibel rating. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances Online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
