Just bought a Breville Air Fryer to replace an old Cuisinart and now I need to replace my Hamilton Beach microwave. Saw this in Walmart and was about to buy it but I'm thinking may be get a Breville to complete the set? How do you like it so far? When I looked inside the microwave at the store it looked kind of cheap.
Congratulation I have two of these and they are very durable, hard to get dusty, front glass is very resistant to scratches. Never spray water inside them, use a mildly humid microfiber towel with white vinegar, no need for soap.
Glad to hear it! We have been debating on replacing the microwave for a while but thought if it is working might as well keep using it. From my research the LG was a good fit and had good reviews!
Nemesis099 just avoid too much water/ grease inside the oven, they infiltrate and may damage the plate motor, and other parts. I have two of the neochef plus one I bought overseas but fried due to frequency.
I have owned this model for a couple of years and here are my thoughts about it. My first one had a turntable motor failure just short of a year. It was under warranty and LG sent me a check for the purchase price when I showed proof that I bought a replacement. The second unit has performed well now for well over a year. The best feature is how evenly it cooks. Because of that, food seldom splatters so it doesn't need much in the way of cleaning. The timer will rest itself if you open the door before it has timed out. It does this after a few minutes as well as turns off the interior light even if the door is left open to air it out, a nice feature. It cooks quite fast, although after about one minute of running, it starts lowering the output until it is drawing about 700 watts less power than what it starts out with. This actually seems to be a benefit in how well it cooks, although I think it is how they keep the inverter from overheating. That first minute will draw over 2000 watts. It is easy to clean and I haven't had a problem with the wording wearing off the controls. Now for the not so good. You can't turn off that annoying tune it plays at the end of the cycle, nor can you adjust the volume. It also continues to play it five times to remind you to remove the food. It is VERY annoying when you are busy preparing other food when it finishes. You also can't choose anything less than increments of 10 seconds with the timer. Both of my units burned the food badly when using the auto cook feature and the popcorn setting will set off your smoke alarm every time. I have never been a fan of that feature anyway, so it doesn't bother me much but it is worthless. Its good points outweigh the bad and I would purchase it again if it holds up over the long haul.
I'm fine with the sound reminds me of a video game but my wife hates it. I have never liked the auto cook features in any microwave I've owned. I always set time and power level manually. It does cook very evenly which is really nice. As far as Popcorn I make that on the stove top because it tastes so much better than the microwave kind. Overall it is much better than the old microwave we had that was 15 years old and we are still glad we bought it.
I just got this microwave and haven't cooked anything for more than a minute yet, but it is very noisy...louder than any microwave I have ever used before...almost like a grating noise. Is that normal, or do you think mine arrived defective?
@@GalaxyNexus1 Best I can remember it appeared exterior was dented like it was dropped. Didn't notice at first, until trying to figure why it wasn't setting level. Replacement unit has been terrific.
We really like the microwave but the first one broke about 2 years in and we bought the same one again. So if you do buy it I recommend getting an extended warranty for piece of mind.
This is the story of how a large Korean manufacturer got a man to stand and stare at the microwave they designed and built for two minutes of his life without interruption. No one was harmed in this film's making.
1:46 Why return a slightly dented microwave? I've dropped a microwave before, and it got beat up, but it still worked as good as new. Microwaves tend to be tough unless you intentionally break them, or they wear out (like your old one did). So, why would you let something like that go to the landfill? Just curious.
Three reasons, it was broken upon opening the box and I paid full price. Best Buy probably sold it as a scratch and dent item. Second is the microwave sits on the counter with that side facing out so it would be highly visible. Last reason is if it had any issues while under warranty LG would not have accepted a warranty claim because it was damaged and claimed it was negligent use and not their fault.
@@sccpsteve It broke at two years but I we stored wood cutting board on top which I think caused it to overheat the internals. Bought the same one and we are two years in with this one and zero issues.
It sounds like a video game which was weird at first but now my family is used to it and likes it because it doesn't beep like everything else in the kitchen (oven, pressure cooker, rice cooker, coffee maker).
You can turn all sounds off by holding the Clear button and the Sensor cook button simultaneously for around 3 seconds until you see ‘off’ on the screen.
@@stevee1004 sure? I have not bought it yet. And found absolutly no mentioning of turning sound of in the manuals. But if its possible to turn of that nightmare sound, then maybe the microwave is a good buy afterall.
@@ruben7937 I find the little low volume jingle to be quite pleasant compared to my last microwave that just went BEEP....BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...BEEP........
Might as well just open it up now mine was constantly throwing a f3 code and it will just sit there dinging at you every 10 mins. Removed the lid, removed the control panel behind the door and re seated all the plugs and ribbon cable. Re assemble and we are good. I believe moisture from cooking gets into the connections causing corrosion re seating fixes that. Good Luck.
Well all the other appliances in my house are black and we would have bought a plastic black one if we could have found one. Sort of bought what was available that day.
Buenas noches por favor ayuda mi microondas quedo con el ventilador encendido y con un cool en la pantalla que devo aser mi nena iso palomitas y le quedo así

Any issues observed after 2 years....? Also, can anyone who has a BLACK Stainless Steel version, comment whether this smudges with fingerprints? Concerned about the slider at the front
No issues and still really like the microwave. The front does smudge a bit where the buttons are but because the slider is glass it is easier to clean and I don't have an issue with plastic ripping like on my old microwave.
I just bought this microwave oven today. I main concern is that the fonts on the front of the Microwave oven will wear off by repeated use. The touch slider is "cool" however the painted icon will wear off after 1 year. I will return my microwave over because of these concerns.

2:28 before you start talking about the UnBroken,/Damaged Microwave. 4:18 when you start the actual review. Great Video but, my God dude get to the point. People don't care how your taking the Microwave out of the Box, especially a 2nd time Just information buddy
Do NOT buy! This broke in 2 years, the warranty is only for a specific part not 10 years like it says in the front label( it does not specify a specific part only on product) no point in having a certain part covered when the whole product stops working!!! JUNK!!!
All microwaves contain a small ceramic fuse inside that none of the manuals tell you about. It usually blows due to heat from excess run time or when inadequate ventilation space is provided around the microwave cabinet. You have to disassemble the cabinet, but that's pretty easy. The fuse costs about $4.00 Thousands of microwaves are put on the curb for garbage, that only require a fuse replacement.
Just so you know: 1) Set the box on a carpeted floor. Open the top of the box and fold the flaps all the way open. Rotate the box onto its side, then with one hand holding the oven in the box so it won't fall out, rotate the box slowly and gently let it set on the carpet. Then lift the box off. You can then lift the box off of the oven, and using safe lifting methods, you or you and a friend, can then lift the oven without having it slip out of your hands and fall to the floor. 2) Why are you wasting so much time at the start to only find a dented oven? Just trim your video to those parts that are useful please.
@@Jordan-fo1pm that analogy doesnt really work with what were talking about. if kfc made a sour flavored chicken, and none of the customers bought it, what do you think the company would do? im sure they would take it off the menu.
