Customer Reviews for LG NeoChef 18.5 in. Width 0.9 cu.ft. Stainless Steel 1000-Watt Countertop Microwave with Smart Inverter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is always rewarding to make a purchase that you don't regret. This microwave has a small footprint without sacrificing any useful features. The sleek modern stainless and black glass design fits perfectly with our other appliances.

The glass plate cracked after 4 months. We can't find a replacement that fits it anywhere. It's also very hard to see the dials on the outside. Returning.

Awsome product, highly recomended by me. great design, easy to use and why because lg always delivers quality products. I will forever be an lg customer!

We upgraded from Panasonic Costco unit (1.2 Cu, 1200 Watts) to LG (2.0 Cu, 1200 Watts). I have been using the product for a year and very happy with it. LG has LED lights and easy to clean the mess. Lights turn on when you open the door or while in use. (I believe they have some antibacterial coating as well). Both microwaves have inverter technology, but I found LG’s defrosting and warming more even. I haven’t tried cooking mode yet. Turntable is more stable than Panasonic, at least it feels so. Despite the size 2.0 vs 1.2 and the same power input, LG does the job little faster. LG’s look very stylish/sexy. LG is moderate noisy (not harsh) and has pleasant welcoming beep. LG is huge, for comparison I put inside 6 Qt Inner Cooking pot (Instant Pot) – see pic. I have been using LG products for many years and they have very good warranty service/support in case anything happens to the product, so far it’s been great microwave.

Beautiful appearance. Slick and easy to operate. Great fit for my small microwave wall box.

This microwave is a real modern electronic, well, coming from LG you know what to expect!!! for the price ($125.00) that "The Home Depot" has it, it is worthy to buy it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product started erroring out due to the outside keypad not working

I looked at a lot of microwaves before buying this one. This is an excellent product with very good features. It is solidly built and very attractive as well as functional. My caveats that keep this from getting 5 stars: The add 30 function is neat and we use it a lot but you can also accidentally turn on the microwave with nothing in it. The sensor and defrost functionality will take some getting used to. My first trials on both functionalities did not turn out exactly the way I wanted but that may be learning curve as well.

This microwave was a happy accident. Our microwave gave out, and we just needed to get anything because we use the microwave a lot. We don't have a lot of selection for appliances where we live, so we went to Home Depot without any expectations. Ideally, we'd be able to get something that would fit well enough in the existing built-in space. At the store, it looked like they had received these fairly recently since one wasn't on display. The boxes were on an upper shelf, and we needed help getting one down. We checked the specs, and it looked like this would just about fit. When we got it home, we not only discovered that it fit perfectly, but that it was also rated very highly. It's more capability than we need, but it's good to know that they're available if we need them. If we're to nitpick, we'd agree that the tone signaling when it's done could be louder. But other than that, it's a perfect replacement for the one that went out, and even an upgrade.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an attractive and well designed microwave. It is good quality, and the perfect size for cooking and reheating without taking up a lot of counter space. I love the hidden control panel, and that you simply pull the door to open. It keeps the front of the microwave clean. Stop and clear functions, along with a slide feature to add and remove cook time, is accessible without opening the door. So glad I spent a little more to purchase a quality product!

I love the inverter technology! I don't get splatters anymore! Interior lights when opening door and during operation and when you forget to close the door, the light turns off after some time period lapses. Very handsome design too. Neat slider can go up by as little as 10 seconds. Very stable glass turntable and easy clean interior but it doesn't need much cleaning! I am so glad I did my homework and found this microwave on sale at Home Depot!

June 2018: The microwave is light weight with a solid sound when you close the door and easy to operate. Has the quality many are lacking at a great price. Nice cheery tune when time is up. We are renovating our kitchen and the large microwave had to go. At first we ordered a KitchenAid, but after two were sent back because they were dented, decided we didn't need to spend big bucks to get quality. The old one was an LG and we loved it so decided to stay with LG. Wise decision! One thing to note is the turntable is not recessed like our first one. However, it takes only a short time to get used to it. If you do not want convection or broiler features, this is the one to get!

Cooks good without drying it out and cooks all the way thru.

Microwave cooks evenly and quickly, interior is quite small but enough for a dinner plate and everyday use. Looks great in kitchen, we love the sleek, modern design and the kids love the little “song” it plays when time is up. The drawbacks are that there is no keypad so setting cooking time takes a little practice but once you get the hang of the slide bar it’s no problem and if fingerprints are an issue, you will be constantly wiping it clean. Overall we are very happy with this purchase

Works great, looks great, matches our LG appliances we bought. Very happy with LG quality. Best price at home depot.

So far I like this microwave, except that they tout having six wheels for the turntable when there is actually only three. No big deal I guess, but I don’t get it, why would they blatenly lie about this product like that?

Great microwave oven! Love it!!!

Too little features for the price. Returned and bought LG black stainless steel. Love it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The clean modern look, with no handle, and the even cook inside is great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids bought me the new microwave oven for Christmas. I am very happy with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use, sleek and elegant design and perfect size for limited countertop space.

I recently renovated the kitchen in my condo and replaced the “over the range” microwave, that was previously installed, with a modern range hood. I needed a small microwave that had a small foot print to fit on one of my counter tops. Enter this LG microwave. It’s the perfect size for warming things up. A large dinner plate fits on the turn table without a problem. This microwave looks like it belongs in my new, modern kitchen. I’m very happy with the way it looks on my counter and it’s performance. It warms items up perfectly...no cold spots in the center. It plays a nice tune when the cycle completes instead of annoying beeps. I’d definitely purchase this item again

This microwave is well worth the purchase price. I have always found LG products to be of excellent quality, have reliable performance and fair in purchase price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smartly designed countertop microwave. Has as much interior capacity and power as my old microwave but takes up much less space. Love the door design and overall sleek look. Love that the plug is one that angles down instead of out...

Sleek and efficient. the replacement for a twelve year old microwave. I really like the fact the controls are behind the door, it has a clean uncluttered look.

Very large countertop microwave. It is very powerful, easy to operate, sleek, sexy (yes, i said "sexy") and modern. I couldnt imagine anything better unless it was self loading and self cleaning.

We replaced our over-the-range microwave with a "real" hood with this tiny microwave are are very happy. It is about the same power as the old one and performs all the tasks that we need for a microwave. It is smaller but so far that hasn't been a problem. It even has a melodic "I'm finished" tone that is pleasant. Not disappointed at all.

We got about three weeks ago, quite an improvement over what we had, a 16 year old microwave - dysfunctional digital displays

AMAZING! We love it so much. Exactly what we were wanting and the no buttons on the screen gives the microwave a very "up to date" look.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Heads and tails,above the competition. Luv the music chime rather a beep
