Great Microwave - no problems but 5c plastic clip now renders it useless – Had the microwave for just over 5 years and it never missed a beat. Reliable and performed well for a small family. A plastic clip recently broke that holds the 'open' button...apparently no replacement is available (anymore) which means for the sake of a small moulded piece of plastic the whole unit is unusable (cant open). I appreciate you cant… Read more · 2
make spare parts forever however suggest this is a design consideration - surely mechanical door opener parts can be engineered to be more universal (and longer life). Mechanical (as opposed to electrical or other faults) are genuine wear and tear - logic suggests that mechanical parts should be expected to suffer mechanical failures over time and seems such a shame that my great looking microwave that has been reliable and more importantly fits in with the rest of the kitchen (big smile) is now useless for the sake the whole door opening mechanism relying on a piece of plastic that is about 2mm thick. (discontinued product but made me feel better having my rant!)
Too hot to touch! – We had a house fire in August 2012 and our insurance company purchased this microwave oven to replace our old faithful National microwave oven. In August 2013 the oven stopped working. This was after the cabinet (outer case) became extremely hot to touch, while using the oven. The microwave oven was repaired under warranty and returned to us. In… Read more
the middle of January this year, once again the oven's outer cabinet, front glass door, the touch control panel and door opening button would become extremely hot during operation. This was after approximately 20 minutes of use, on the high setting, cooking a piece of meat. And at other times when cooking pasta or rice. The door opening button gets so hot that we can not touch it without using some form of protection (tea towel, mitt, etc) to our fingers. The oven was sent away for repair. This time under the retailer's extended warranty plan. The plan actually replaces an appliance found to be faulty with a new appliance. Repairs are not undertaken. Once again, my family was without a microwave oven for a period of time. The oven has been returned to me today. I was advised that there was nothing at fault with the oven. The repairer informed me that LG had advised him that the oven will get hot to touch, in normal operation. My wife and I are concerned that the microwave oven has the potential to cause a fire when used and as a result we will not being using this oven from now on. I will be contacting my insurance next week to inform them of the issue. We will never ever purchase another LG product. (We have had issues with our LG front loading washing machine, a few years ago. This was repaired under warranty.) nothing unreliable
Good while it lasted – We thought we would spend a little more and pay for a microwave that would last a few years (and to match our LG oven below). I did use and liked most the functions and it all worked perfectly well until it just stopped dead. I really did find it very easy to use, however it shows up all the finger marks which is a pest and now just out of… Read more
warrantee (2 years) it completely fails and does not work at all. If you get this one, ensure you purchase an extended warrantee. Functions are easy to use Longevity and finger marks show too easily
Stopped working after 3 years – Great microwave to start off with. Heated quickly and very well. Ensure you get the extended warranty, because after 3 years, ours just stopped heating. We got ours on the 02/09/09. We are only home half the year due to shift work, and some weeks we don't even use it. I tried to write a review on this yesterday, but for some reason I didn't get… Read more
the email confirmation link at all. My phone number is 0488163220 if one of the LG representatives would like to talk to me about this, because I'm sure that is the reason why my review isn't on here or that I didn't get the email. I have used cheaper brands before that have lasted a lot longer than this one. Not very happy. Heated very fast, looked great, rounded interior for easier cleaning. Stopped heating after 3 Years.
Keeps breaking! – This microwave has broken three times now. The first two times it was under warranty. I am not going to bother fixing it this time. I have two young children who need milk and food warmed and need a more reliable product. LG customer service has been unhelpful. Will never purchase another lg electronic again. Inexpensive Keeps breaking
So easy to clean! Great price – I cant rave enough about this microwave. Easy to set up, easy to use, easy to clean!!! I love the rounded interior is a breeze to maintain. The stainless steel exterior is stylish all the way. Everything I need it to do it does with ease. LG has yet again produced an excellent product. Great Price. Easy from set to cooking & cleaning.

`LG products the way to go! – This microwave looks great and functions well with all the bells and whistles my family needs. It is easy to use and easy to clean It looks very nice in the kitchen and works well Great microwave at a fair price,Handsome stainless steel exterior. I know that the manufacturer, LG, and Best Buy will stand behind the product. Recently purchased another LG product based on our experience with this one. Easy to use,its a good price
The best you can buy! – What I wanted was a silver finish and a decent price....I dont really use microwaves for full fledged cooking. I fell for this one the minute the salesperson at Harvey Norman opened it...Unlike most microwaves it has a concave cavity which makes it so spacious! Even my large platters can fit into it! Three months down the road, I am actually looking at cooking with a microwave! Spacious and Energy efficient
Faultless! – I love this microwave. The rounded interior makes it super easy to clean, the auto heat/defrost menu is a great feature, the exterior is attractive and it is powerful. We have had it for 5 years with no problems Reliable, works well, easy to clean
