    The reviews for this microwave are mixed. Some customers found it easy to use with great features like steam cook and proof functions, and appreciated the design, capacity, and heating performance. However, a significant number reported issues such as the microwave stopping working within a short period, problems with the magnetron, LCD screen, and noises or vibrations. There were also reports of the glass plate shattering and interior rusting. While some customers are satisfied, others have encountered reliability and durability problems that have led them to not recommend the product.

    Great until...
    Had this for a few years and loved it until... it has rust in multiple locations inside and is bubbling on most surfaces inside. It says 10 year warranty so expected it to last more than a few of years of normal use. Has to be thrown away.

    Great while it worked.. but not for long
    This microwave lasted only 2 years and 4 months before it stopped heating food. 4 months out of the manufactorer warranty, and now I am hoping the magnatron is at fault and is replaced under parts warranty (but I still need to pay for service and labour). This is the 2nd LG NeoChef microwave that I have owned, which has not lasted more than 5 years. Absolute rubbish, will not buy again.

    Questions & answers

    Is there a trim kit for this microwave Anonymous · 2023-11-26
    Hello, Thank you for this product question, sorry to say that not all brands and models will supply or make trim kits to suit microwave ovens and the model you have selected is one of them, we do have models that either have a microwave oven trim kit included or are able to be built in without the need for this trim kit. I trust that this information will prove helpful as you shop with us at Appliances Online. Our Sydney office operates around the clock 24/7, and you can reach us at 1300-000-500.

    Do they fit it. Ccol · 2023-04-18
    Good Afternoon, Thank you for this product question, microwave ovens are classed as a small appliance that does not require our drivers to unbox and install, generally, the consumers will do this, however, if you have an old benchtop model disconnected and ready to go the driver will dispose of the old microwave for you. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances Online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
