Rated 1 out of 5 by from Failed 4 months out of warranty This microwave was fine until it was 4 months out of warranty and then it died. It turns on and appears to be working, but now makes a (new) clicking noise and does not heat. Very disappointing as it is probably not worth fixing.
Date published: 2022-12-07
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Dissapointing It suudenly stopped working like it is grounded just exactly 4 months after the 2 years expiry period. I was hoping that this microwave will last a little bit longer as my previous microwave of another brand lasted for 5 years.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Get more out of a microwave A very attractive microwave, which has a lot of smart functions. Will take some time to get the family to adjust from the old microwave to this new one. Have used the re heat function so far and it does heat the food evenly.
Date published: 2021-12-22
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect choice of microwave Great looking and heats all the way through without hot or cold spots. Love the chime instead of the loud beeping when meal is finished. Great lg touch. This was a Aussie choice magazine recommended microwave for good reason.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Minimalist Style & Functional [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this microwave. Selected because of the simple minimalistic style. Mounted under bench. All functions work well and very happy with value for money. Easy to keep clean.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic microwave! Absolutely love our new LG Neochef. It is a stylish, sleek and minimalistic design, has a great tune to it when your food is ready, reminds you to take out your food, heats up food well. Overall, great purchase for the price!
Date published: 2021-10-23
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Does the Job! Microwave itself works very well. Wouldn’t recommend the 25L as you can fit much in it - definitely spend the extra $$ to get the next size up. Also the jingle when it finishes is incredibly irritating but can be turned off.
Date published: 2025-07-12
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Addition to My Household No complaints at all! Nifty, sleek-looking microwave. Easy to use. Would recommend this to anyone. Love the little melodious tune at the end of each heating cycle - way more pleasant than the usual microwave beeps! Love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from First time LG purchaser Fantastic quality with ease of operation right from the gecko. First time an LG purchaser after being a dedicated Panasonic purchaser for previous electrical appliances & very happy with my purchase of my first LG product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great little microwave I bought this microwave about a month ago, it is a great compact microwave and looks very smart. I have tried a number of different functions and all work really well. It has a really happy tune when its finished cooking!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from OK - but ...... [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very basic microwave, does the job but I would have liked a timer. Also, hard to see the buttons. Not overly fantastic for those that may have sight issues.
Date published: 2020-11-13
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Its a microwace Yep, its a microwave so not expecting miracles. Is a bit annoying it only works in 10second incraments, but the wondeful music it plays at the end has become a regular whistling tune in the house. Sleek looking machine.
Date published: 2020-06-15
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Microwave Very complicated to operate, had to follow instructions repeatedly which still didn’t make the microwave work because there was a faulty turntable. Returned to my local store and swapped for a more conventional model.
Date published: 2021-09-13
Rated 5 out of 5 by from LG microwave [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best microwave I’ve ever owned, looks amazing & so easy to use. Setting the clock after a blackout is the only negative but not bad in the grand scheme of things
Date published: 2020-11-12
Rated 5 out of 5 by from It’s a goodie Rate this microwave. It’s nice clean design and it’s easy to use. It warms your food evenly as it says it does and it has a happy tune when your food is ready to go - no annoying beeping! Lots of helpful presets too.
Date published: 2024-08-28
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect size and sleek design [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just bought this microwave to fit into a standard width cavity in my kicthen. This fits without sticking out and is still big enough to use for everything I need.
Date published: 2021-06-13
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice look and easy to use Bought about a month ago. Perfect size, fits a dinner plate which is all we really need. Love the slider time feature on front, good design. Quite like the little jingle instead of a piercing beep. Would recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simple, easy, perfect.... [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My LG MS25960B is the best and easiest to use microwave I have ever owned. Defrosting is so easy, no more overcooked food. Looks great and exceptional value.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from LG microwave [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took us awhile to find the right microwave. We ended up getting the LG microwave and love it. It’s look and feel. It’s very sleep and fits well in our kitchen
Date published: 2020-11-14
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good looking compact microwave Seems like a very good oven for the price. The only major complaint I'd have would be the musical tones played when cooking starts and finishes, would be great if these could just be beeps like most other brands.
Date published: 2021-01-04
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Valentin Amazing microwave oven. Very efficient warming up, comfortable control functions and fantastic appearance. I had to buy more black in Harvey Norman SodaStreem and now they stand side by side, and I admire them.
Date published: 2020-09-15
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent microwave [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to clean, cook, reheat and bake. We don’t have much bench space in the kitchen so the compact size is perfect as it does not comprise the internal space.
Date published: 2020-11-12
Rated 5 out of 5 by from LG 25L Smart Inverter Microwave Oven For a compact oven, this has both visual style and cooking smarts wrapped up in one unit. Easy to operate, cooks perfectly with full heating of all foodstuffs, and is cleaned with a quick wiping of the interior.
Date published: 2020-10-30
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Happy Somg The sleek design blends this product into any high end kitchen. The multifunction options help make easy decisions when using it for various purposes and I always smile when it plays a little song when finished.
Date published: 2023-08-25
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very happy! I have had mine for around 6 months and it is brilliant. The defrost function works perfectly every time. Very happy with this microwave. Plus I have never had any issues with any of the LG products I've bought.
Date published: 2025-07-13
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Love the song I have recently bought this microwave and I love the way it sings to me when the food is finished microwaving. Very efficient and reliable. One negative is that you can only heat things for 10 second intervals.

Questions & Answers

I gave my kitchen joiner the microwave measurements from the "Description" when you scroll down to the bottom. The diagram records the dimensions as W 470mm H 272mm D370mm. I have just seen that the Specs record the W as 476mm? What is correct ?

Asked by: NewKitchen
Hi there, thanks for your question. We can confirm that 470mm is indeed correct, we appreciate you spotting this, we will have the relevant department correct this.

Hi there, If placing this in a cavity in the kitchen, please can you let me know how much space is required around the outside of the microwave for adequate ventilation? Thanks

Asked by: Kate
Hi Kate. The manufacturer has recommended a clearance of at least 15 cm of space on the top and 10 cm at the left & right and 5 cm at the rear for ventilation. The front of the oven should be at least 8 cm from the edge of the surface to prevent tipping. Hope this helps.

Hi there, can you confirm the warranty? The product has a 10 year warranty badge on it, but the text on the page says 24 month

Asked by: Ross
Hi Ross. Thanks for your question. The warranty is in two parts. It has a 2 year manufacturers warranty on the whole unit, plus there is an additional 8 year warranty on the Magnetron invertor (parts only). Hope this helps with your query.

Can you turn off the chime it makes when cooking is completed, or change it to a beep?

Asked by: M_P_B
Thanks for your question. Yes, press and hold the 'Clear' button then press the 'Keep Warm' button for 5 seconds then the display will show the changing state 'On' or 'Off" for the completion chime. Please note, this won't disable all beeps and chimes, and will mean you need to monitor food more regularly. Hope this helps!

Hi. Is this similar to https://www.harveynorman.co.nz/home-appliances/kitchen-appliances/microwaves/lg42l-smart-inverter-microwave-oven.html  Just 1000 watts and 25L instead?

Asked by: NZA1
Thanks for your question. Yes, that's correct. The models are exactly the same, with the same features and functions, but with less power and a smaller overall size. Hope this helps.
