I was disappointed in that I did not receive the microwave that I had ordered. I ordered a white microwave and the one supplied is all black. I cannot read the working dial and the door does not have a button to open, just a pull handle on the side. I would not recommend this microwave to anyone, especially the elderly.

Neo chef microwave
Seems fine . Works well . It was a shame I had to wait a very long time to get the product . Then they messed up the delivery changing the days and still expected me to be home . That was quite annoying .

The unit works well, but we don't like the design. Changing the power is very fiddly, we just leave it on full power and use the timer to adjust the degree of heating. The door closes over most of the settings which makes it difficult to adjust settings. If we were looking again we would look for a machine knobs to adjust time and power.

My new NeoChef!
Super happy with my new NewChef from LG. I went for the smaller capacity which is the perfect size for my unit. I enjoy the sleek and simple design with easy to use functions and no complaints on the food.

At a glance
This 25L LG microwave is a compact everyday model for singles, couples and small households that want reliable reheating, defrosting and simple meal prep. Its smart inverter power, touch controls and EasyClean interior make daily use straightforward. The main trade-off is that it is better suited to standard plate-sized meals than larger family dishes or advanced convection cooking.

Key benefits
- Smart Inverter Power: Delivers more precise power control for steadier reheating and defrosting.
- 25L Capacity: Fits most standard dinner plates and common food containers while keeping the unit compact.
- 1000W Output: Provides strong everyday microwave performance for fast heating of meals and snacks.
- Touch Screen Controls: Makes selecting cooking functions and settings simple for daily use.
- Hexagonal Turntable Support: Helps stabilise dishes during rotation to reduce spills from uneven loads.
- EasyClean Interior: Wipes down quickly after splatters to make routine cleaning easier.
- Specialty Functions: Includes melt, proof, soften and keep warm modes for added day-to-day flexibility.
- Child Lock: Adds extra peace of mind in homes with children.
Q: Is the 25L cavity large enough for normal dinner plates?
A: Yes. The 25L cavity is designed to fit most standard dinner plates and everyday food containers, so it suits leftovers and plate-sized meals well. It is less suitable for larger casserole dishes or bulk cooking in one go.
Q: Does this LG NeoChef microwave have grill or convection cooking?
A: No. LG MS2596OW is a standard benchtop microwave with inverter heating for reheating, defrosting and simple cooking tasks. It does not include grill, convection or combination-oven modes for baking, crisping or browning.
Q: Will the compact 47cm size suit a small kitchen bench?
A: Yes. The 47cm design suits kitchens with limited bench space, including apartments, units and office lunch areas. It still works best where there is enough surrounding room to open the door fully and load dishes comfortably.
Q: Are the touch controls a good choice if I prefer knobs?
A: No. LG MS2596OW uses touch screen controls rather than physical dials, so buyers who like simple knob-based time and power changes may prefer a different control style. It suits shoppers who want a cleaner front panel and preset functions.
Q: How does the turntable help with uneven or off-centre dishes?
A: The turntable uses a hexagonal support ring to steady dishes as they rotate. That helps reduce tipping and spills from unevenly weighted containers, but it does not stop splatter from overfilled bowls or uncovered sauces.
Q: Can this microwave keep food warm after heating?
A: Yes. LG MS2596OW includes a keep warm function, which is useful when food is ready before the rest of the meal. It is designed for short holding rather than baking, crisping or keeping large dishes hot for extended periods.
