Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only OK visibility through door.
  • May need to refer to manual initially when using controls.
  • Seam around digital display can trap dirt and grime.
  • Some small holes on the inside of the microwave that can accumulate grime.
  • Can only accommodate a standard dinner sized plate and may not fit any dish with extended handle.
  • Can be awkward removing hot or heavy items from the microwave due to small cavity, easily knocks the small turntable off the runner.
  • Brand reliability is below average.
  • Due to members complaints we have placed LG microwaves in our kitchen areas to continually monitor these microwaves for any issues. We will continue to monitor them for a couple of years.
