Precise temperature controls are in place to ensure even defrosting of your frozen foods. The interior white LED lamp is energy efficient and brightly illuminates inside so you can keep an eye on your food.

    An anti-bacterial coating in the interior eliminates 99.9% of harmful bacteria from the surface, and makes cleaning easy.

    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 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.

    Great microwave, excellent quality & features
    Great microwave that I would definitely recommend. We have had one for 2 years and work extremely well. I see some reviews where they say they have had rust issues. WE are rights in the coast where every thing rusts and have had no such issues with the microwave. Very happy customer that would definitely 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
