I got this microwave 2 yrs ago and it worked great till last week when it just quit on me. It'll turn on but will not heat anything! . I like the curved interior but I think I'll stay away from LG microwaves for now and I suggest you try too unlessyou need it for a short time. I feel awful since I paid $200 for the silly thing.
What's great about it: The curved interior
What's not so great: It's not worth the price considering I paid $200 and lasted 2 yrs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this January 2010 in Houston, Texas. I have used it in a 2 person household for 1 year and 1 month. It died. It quit heating the food. I googled around, and found that this microwave has this issue. It's the magnetron, and I'm not going to spend over 100 bucks to fix something that is only a year old. Lucky for me, the warranty is over in a year as well. I would avoid this microwave like the plague.
What's great about it: Worked perfectly for a year
What's not so great: Will not work past a year.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

So far this microwave oven has performed well. We had to special order the trim kit which cost almost as much as the oven. I was able to install it along with the trim kit. Looks great and so far has done a good job. The one thing about it that is different than others, it does not over cook on the edges and is able to detect the moisture level of foods which helps to keep things moist.
What's great about it: easy to install, easy features, cooks well
What's not so great: no trim kit available, smudges on the outside from fingers
I would recommend this to a friend!

This our third LG appliance and I can't say enough good about the quality and dependablity. Fit and finish is perfect and function has been 100% after three years for the washer and dryer, and six months for the microwave. Probably a LG TV in the future.
What's great about it: reliability
What's not so great: zero

I have had this microwave for ten months and use it a few times a day with NO problems at all. The EZ on button is great for a 30 second reheat and the popcorn button cooks it to perfection. I've used many of the features like: hot water, cook soup and more. All of them worked great! I'm not sure why all the bad reviews, but I haven't had a single issue and I think it was worth the money I spent.
What's great about it: Easy to use, works great, love LG

What's great about it: I wish I keep my old one
What's not so great: no potato button broke after2 months

Not sure about the previous comments, but I have had nothing but a GREAT experience with this item and I've owned it for over a year! Has great features, even down to a simple "kitchen" timer! Popcorn pops perfect ... not one burnt piece and all popped, even cooking ... just a wonderful product! It is a bit expensive, but it truly is worth the price. Compare to the Panasonic if you are looking at this price level. Both are great but I went with the LG because of the smooth look and it had a better fit on my counter. I'm glad I did!
What's great about it: Looks, Performance, Features = Perfect
What's not so great: Nothing

Sleek and spacious, easy to use. The plastic that covers the entire microwave is not easy to remove, very hard to get all of it off, and the door had trouble latching. Otherwise like it so far.
What's great about it: I like the 1200 watts, spacious, stainless steal looks sleak, easy to use
What's not so great: Plastic and door

We were sold this product as a comparable replacement for another sensor microwave that I loved and used every day, but which none of our local Best Buy stores currently had in stock. It's been two weeks of daily use, and every day I am more unhappy to own this oven. The features, particularly the sensor cooking, which I used the most in my old oven are either nonexistent or do not work properly. Using the reheat sensor typically overcooks the food. There is no sensor feature for baking potatoes, so it's back to weighing, using the chart in the booklet, and trial and error every time I have to bake a potato. (Hello! LG! I estimate that baking potatoes is probably one of the primary uses of most people's microwave ovens!) The defrost is flaky. On the chicken setting, the food isn't thawed enough. On the beef setting, it typically comes out overcooked. I have to compensate when using them by adding or subtracting to the actual weight of the food. Using the special features requires you to consult a paper chart inside the door whereas my old oven calculated these and, even then, it's difficult to match the chart to what I am cooking. I haven't tried sensor cooking asparagus yet (my favorite in my old oven) but fresh green beans came out overcooked.
All of this adds up to my having to usually program it manually for most uses. If I wanted to do this, I would have bought a more basic appliance for approximately half the cost.
As noted by others, the door is very rickety. The turntable motor is very loud and sounds creaky. When running, there is a vibration that rattles other items sitting on the counter.
Positives: When running it does not interfere with our wireless internet signal. The interior design with minimal seams and corners make it easy to clean.
What's great about it: Looks attractive, interior easy to clean
What's not so great: Everything else: noisy, creaky turntable, sensor features inconvenient and don't work right
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My husband and I just purchased the 2cubic LG microwave 4 months ago. We liked the stainless steel look and it had a good enough size. The second week of use the microwave starts making a noise like it was having a hard time turning. Like idiots we ignored it instead of returning it to best buy and dealt with the noise. A few months pass and the door is jammed and could not open by pressing the button or any other way. I highly will NOT recommend this product to anybody. This was the worst product we've ever purchased. DON'T BUY THE LG MICROWAVE EVEN IF IT IS PRETTY.
EVEN WARRANTY SUCKS. THEY WILL HAVE YOU PURCHASE ANOTHER LG THEN THEY WILL SEND A CHECK OF WHAT YOU PAID. BUT THEN YOUR STILL STUCK WITH THE LG MICROWAVE.
What's great about it: Stainless steal but thats it.
What's not so great: Noisy and Door was stuck closed
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I loved the look and features of this microwave when I saw it in the store. Once I got it home I unpacked it, took all the plastic off, plugged it in, and when I went to put the glass tray inside the door wouldn't open. The door latch button wouldn't work at all. It would push in and out and not catch on anything. I picked it up to move it around and there is something big rolling around inside loose. I packed it back in the box and I'm taking it back this weekend. I've never had problems with LG before.. but I won't be replacing this microwave with the same model, for sure. I can't give it any stars on anything, because I never even got the chance to use it.
What's great about it: Looks nice.
What's not so great: Haven't even been able to open the door.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought this microwave 2 months ago, the 1st one lasted exactly 1 month then made a horrible noise then just stopped working. Took it back and they told me that LG requires them to send it off to the factory to get worked on and it would take about two weeks (have kids, cant go two weeks without a microwave) so they swapped it out for a new one and that one lasted exactly three weeks this time, so I am swapping it out for a whirlpool. Waste of money, do not buy this product.
What's great about it: the looks
What's not so great: the fact that it wont work after 1 month

This microwave lasted exactly 3 months. I can't imagine what possessed me to get another LG product after the experience I had with the refrigerator I bought last year. Their customer service is almost non-existant. All they want to do is send out a local repair service; which I find to be unacceptable on a nearly new appliance. Luckily I got a refund and now I'm looking at other options. Wish I had checked into these reviews earlier.
What's great about it: looks nice - fit my available space
What's not so great: everything else

I purchased this microwave approximately a month ago. I am very pleased with my purchase, as I have been with all other LG purchases. I feel it is priced very competively, comparing it to the GE version that is $ 20.00 higher. Tried Panasonic...Hated it and took it back. LG is definately the way to go ! The look is there, the quality is there and the features are there. What more do you need ? It's really a great microwave !
