My new Microwave.
After a few moments studying the instruction guide, I finally found my way around this excellent LG microwave. And the tune that rings out when your dinner is ready is very cute but as time goes by, I’m sure it’s going to drive me bonkers.

It suits small families, couples and students who want easy controls, strong 1000 W performance and a hygienic easy-clean interior. Its inverter technology helps deliver more even heating than basic microwaves. The main limitation is that it is a non-convection model, so it cannot bake, grill or air fry.

Things to consider

Family suitability
Good for small families and couples thanks to its 25 L capacity, 1000 W power and easy auto menus.
Student suitability
High - simple touch controls, quick reheating, defrosting and easy cleaning make it well suited to student living.
Ease of cleaning score
9/10 - anti-bacterial EasyClean interior coating and a simple flat-walled design help reduce cleanup effort.
Counter space suitability
7/10 - a practical mid-size countertop option that balances 25 L capacity with manageable benchtop footprint.
Noise level vs category average
About average - designed for standard everyday microwave use without any specific low-noise claim.
Key benefits
- Smart Inverter Technology: Delivers more precise power control for smoother heating and defrosting than basic on/off microwave power delivery.
- 1000 W Power Output: Provides strong microwave power for fast reheating and cooking of everyday meals.
- 25 L Capacity: Offers enough room for everyday family portions while still fitting typical benchtop spaces.
- Anti-Bacterial EasyClean Interior: Wipes clean easily and helps keep the interior more hygienic with less scrubbing.
- 292 mm Turntable: Supports more even cooking and reheating by rotating larger plates through the cavity.
- 28 Auto Cook Menus: Makes common cooking tasks easier with preset programs for added convenience.
- Child Lock: Helps prevent unintended use, which is useful in homes with young children.
- Tempered Glass Door with Hidden Handle: Gives the microwave a sleek, modern look that suits contemporary kitchens.
Q: What does Smart Inverter cooking change on the LG MS2596OB compared with a standard microwave?
A: Smart Inverter delivers power more steadily instead of cycling fully on and off. That helps the MS2596OB heat and defrost more evenly, which is useful for foods like leftovers, frozen meals and chocolate that can otherwise end up hot on the edges and cool in the middle.
Q: Can the LG MS2596OB brown or crisp food like a convection microwave?
A: No. The MS2596OB is a non-convection microwave, so it is designed for reheating, defrosting and microwave cooking rather than baking, grilling or air frying. If crisping or browning is important, a convection or combi model is the better fit.
Q: Will the 25L cavity and 292mm turntable fit a full dinner plate?
A: Yes, it will fit most standard dinner plates. The 292mm turntable is generally suitable for plates around 27cm, but oversized platters, square dishes and bowls with wide handles can still be a tight fit, so shape matters as much as diameter.
Q: Is the turntable on the LG MS2596OB designed to keep dishes more stable?
A: Yes. This model uses a hexagonal ring with six support points under the turntable, which helps keep dishes steadier than basic three-point designs. That can be useful for tall bowls or containers that are slightly off-centre during heating.
Q: Is the inside of the LG MS2596OB easy to wipe clean after splatters?
A: Yes. The cavity has LG EasyClean anti-bacterial coating, so everyday splatters and light residue are easier to wipe away without heavy scrubbing. It is practical for frequent reheating, though dried-on spills will still clean best if tackled promptly.
Q: How much bench space should I allow for the LG MS2596OB microwave?
A: The microwave itself measures 470mm wide, 272mm high and 362mm deep, so it suits kitchens needing a compact benchtop model. Allow extra space around the unit for ventilation and door clearance, especially if it will sit near a wall or pantry side panel.
