LG Neochef MS2336DB

I was washing the dishes, and the microwave's front door glass shattered across our kitchen with a rather big bang! We were lucky my one-year-old daughter was not in the kitchen then. The microwave was not running at all, and nothing hit it either. It was not in use at the time.

It's not uncommon for poorly made tempered glass to shatter. It happens to glass tables too. Our glass door had a fault, and LG should rectify the situation.

The customer service has been very bad at LG and Myer, where we purchased it. LG even told us to bring it in for it to be inspected! The fact that it had pieces of glass sticking out of it is a real danger.

To disable the annoying tune that plays every 30 seconds to remind you that the reheating is finished: press and hold the stop/cancel button and the inverter button at the same time for a few seconds. You'll see OFF on the screen and all sounds will be off.

Stopped heating, closest repairer 2hour round trip away (we are 20 mins from major city!) Customer service was awful, hard to understand and wouldn’t organise a courier to collect and return item. Won’t be buying any LG products in future! Update: was the inverter, so not charged for repair, but disappointing all around

We bought it last year June because of the good reviews. Whilst it was good, it just suddenly died on us last night. Its only been 17 months! We have had other microwaves and they have all lasted a LOT longer than 17 months. Did not expect LG things to be so fragils. Save yourselves money and hassle and buy something else

Bought this microwave from JB Hifi based on the generally positive reviews online and our kitchen space, after our previous Sharp Microwave stopped working after 5 years. What we noticed very quickly and incidentally, is that this microwave knocks out the Wifi and Bluetooth completely when it is heating even when it is located >8-10m away from the router. So if you are cooking rice in a microwave rice cooker for 40 minutes, there is massive interference with internet and it also knocked out our Bluetooth baby monitor, which is very worrying whe...

Upgraded to this microwave after owning a small ANKO (kmart) microwave, after my mother and grandmother were happy with their similar LG models. I am so glad I did, heats up food very quickly and it tastes much nicer. I do a lot of meal prep and freezing bulk meals, can take a little while to heat up from frozen, but heats very evenly without cold spots in the middle. Also love the sleek look of the microwave.

I love this microwave. It's stylish, easy to clean, cooks evenly and I love the microwave sound at the the end of each cook. I found it strange at first especially with how you open the microwave but after a week I got used to it. It's a great product overall

Worked well at first but now the turntable clunks around - I’ve tried moving it but still a problem. Pity as I was just getting used to the many functions. Guess I’ll need to return

It stopped working after a few months so i had to take it back, they sent it away to fix it and then i had to go back and get it, then it stopped working agin two months later so i have taken it back again . waste of time and money.

It is a very stylish compact unit that I have yet to use. My complaint is with registration on the LG website which has proven impossible; there are several annoying issues including having to repeat the same data many times, as their system does not store on entry. It locates the model number yet this model is not listed in their drop down selector, and there is no facility to enter it manually. Wonderful, can't register! But wait, there's more-
I go to my iPad Keychain and Bring up the LG website then enter my password and store it, then go ...

this is the third LG inverter that we have had - two of the same model had an issue with the magnetron and so we switched to this current model 18 mths ago - now have the issue of the microwave suddenly not heating - don't buy

I wanted a small microwave for the house that I could also take with me in a caravan where it would run through a 2kW inverter (ie drawing power from the batteries). Research showed that microwaves draw a lot more power than they delivered to the food with a typical unit drawing close to the 2kW maximum of the inverter - and I don't like to run anything at its maximum.

If told to reduce power, most microwaves deliver an "average" reduction by cycling on (at full power) and off instead, so reducing power wasn't an option.

The alternative tech...

I love this microwave, it's functional, stylish, and cheap. For me, I only use my microwave to reheat a meal occasionally so this is perfect for me. If you need a small, cheap microwave that doesn't look or function like a cheap microwave this is worth a look.

Bought just over 14 weeks ago and was delighted with its performance and sleek design. The defrost function left meat evenly defrosted without the cooked edges, and food cooked quickly and evenly. I quite enjoyed the end-of-cycle chirrup/melody, even though it was persistent. The unit was very quiet, and was easy to clean.
Unfortunately it developed a problem with the magnetron. After conversations with LG, this issue was resolved to my complete satisfaction.

The black design on this microwave looks sleek and modern. The manufacturing materials are of high quality. It is very reliable and cooks food evenly. There are a number of programming features but honestly I just use the quick start mode. I like that this microwave has a single button start. You don't need to enter the time or turn dials like some other microwaves.
