Great machine, cannot fault, cooks things through properly, smart machine alright. Hard to get, but then, usually the good stuff sells first. More room than we really needed, but smaller size was just too small.

Very similar to Leon's review https://www.productreview.com.au/consumer-profiles/f404efc7-2e91-4118-ba4d-4608aed18f41 but we didn't buy HN's extended warranty in April 2017.
Worked really well in all it's different functions, BUT...
It failed after 12 months - repaired under LG 2-year warranty but took 4-5 hours of my time all told.

Now the lights are on but it's not heating. LG support says take it to the repairer (the 'Smart Diagnosis' software is 'being upgraded, it isn't working').
Could spend another 4-5 hours and $150+ on labour to get it repaired (with parts free?) but when will the LG fail again?
Buying a new microwave, unlikely to be LG.

Very easy to use. I especially like the quick option with the slider for selecting the time. Very quiet compared to my previous microwaves, and I like the jingle (as opposed to the overused beep-beep-beep to tell me when it's done.

Bought this microwave just a little over 2 years ago in mid 2018.
It was working quite well and fine, up till tonight where it just stopped heating food up completely. Tried LG smart diagnosis - apparently everything was working fine. Clearly it wasn’t. Tried multiple times to heat up food, lights and tray was turning as normal but everything remained cold after 5 mins.
Our previous Samsung lasted more than 8 years. Can’t believe this one died on us so soon. Never buying LG again.

DO NOT BUY!!!!!
The Microwave stops heating after 3-4min. It starts to cool down by itself and doesn't heat. It takes forever to reach the desired heat in our food. Very annoying and inefficient. Waste our time when heating food. There is no use of a microwave if it fails to heat your food.

Has stopped cooking. LG advised only 2 yr warranty and we are just a few months past 2 years. Worked well, wish it lasted longer for the price... One quirk, can't manually enter numbers and goes to 30 second intervals once you get up over 3 minutes (so you can't cook for 5:15 for example. Only minor. Lots of other functionality and a good looking device, especially with the clean front / buttons hidden inside.

Prior to this we had a cheap microwave and it lasted until we decided to upgrade it (circa 7 years), forked out a little more for something bigger, better looking, and some more functionality, disappointed it didn't even make 2.5 years.

Read a lot of reviews and this consistently scored well. Big at 42L but smaller footprint than our last 38L.
Heats evenly
Heating function straightforward, haven't played with the advanced heating options yet
Looks great
Plays a pleasant musical tone when finished if that's a bother to you

Love the way this Microwave looks with most of the buttons and menus behind the door. I only really use it to reheat so having only the bare essential buttons and a handy time slider on the outside suit me 100%. Huge amount of room inside, setup was ultra simple and usage so far has been flawless.

Does everything well and quickly eg. both heating , defrosting and the preset programmes. High level of functionality. The only minor criticism is that it does not have a stand-alone timer that you can use for any purpose.

Very disappointed that my 11-month old LG Microwave has rusted inside the cabinet and is dropping rusty water into my food. Water is condensing inside the oven (never seems to dissipate) and rust has appeared on the inside vents. I can't believe that a product can be manufactured so badly that this can occur - this is a huge food safety risk. Worst of all, when contacting customer service and showing them the pictures, it was assessed not being a manufacturing issue, apparently this is NORMAL! Sorry, this product is not fit to be sold.

Have had this microwave for 13 months and it now no longer heats. After reading the reviews this is obviously a common problem! Still under warranty so called LG Customer Service who were very unhelpful. After a 20 minute phone call they finally supplied the numbers for two local service centres. Both centres are only open during the week which is extremely inconvenient as we work full time. There were also no guarantees that the defect would be covered under warranty, so really not worth the hassle of having to take time off work to try and rectify the problem and being without the appliance for an undetermined length of time. Off to buy a new microwave and will never buy anything from LG again!

Replaced within the first few weeks By Harvey Norman because of loud rattling noise, next one lasted only 9 months and stopped heating food (intermittent problem, sometimes it would heat Food sometimes it wouldn’t)
I will never buy LG again, NEVER
They must know these microwaves have quality control problems and they just keep selling them. Harvey Norman must know as well and they keep selling them.
Anyway sent away for assessment (Very inconvenient) hope I can receive a refund as I don’t trust LG Products anymore.
Not worth the hassle BUYER BEWARE read the reviews, you’ve been told.

This is an amazing microwave. It looks nice, heats up nice, cooks nice. It heats the food evenly and heats fast. I love how user friendly it is and how easy it is to operate. I especially love the little tunes it plays it makes all my guests laugh and they want one for themselves. Overall a fantastic microwave

Unit bought from Myer on 10/12/19 and has not even lasted 6 months, it no longer heats. I have tried to online chat and speak with customer support only to be told that I would have to organise and pay for the repair and LG will reimburse me if they deem it to be a manufacturers fault. I live in Brisbane so there should be no excuse for not arranging a technician to inspect the unit under warranty conditions.
