Product Overview

Unlike LG conventional microwave ovens that use and on/off power delivery method, LG inverter technology provides the flexibility to select the power level at the start of the cooking process and varies the power delivered during cooking. The inverter technology in the LG NeoChef(TM) enables more precise temperature control to help defrost foods and avoid overcooked and unthawed areas. The Ant-Bacterial EasyClean(TM) interior coating makes cleaning simple and convenient, Just a few wipes are all that takes to clean the microwave interior. The coating eliminates 99.99%(1) of harmful bacteria from the surface. The hexagonal ring stabilises the turntable with six support points, which helps prevent off-centre items from tipping and spilling during cooking.

    Great features of LG Neo Chef Inverter Microwave 42l

    I love the sleek finish of this microwave with the black front without any visible control knobs. The white finish also fits in seamlessly with my white cabinetry. The thing that I am still getting used to is the time set slide control however I am getting the hang of it now. Remember that there is always the quick 30 second fast start button. I have used the defrost option many times and like the way that it defrosts evenly when you turn the item regularly. There are many different functions for melting and softening.

    Smart Microwave

    I cannot believe how easy this microwave is to use . Having instructions on the inside of the door for easy reference is marvellous… no need to look anything up… all topics covered … brilliant. Another feature is that the surfaces inside and out are able to be cleaned with no fuss.. just a quick wipe down.

    Lg 42L 1200W NeoChef Smart Inverter Microwave White

    We bought this great new Microwave Oven, to replace a slightly larger one that we have had for 25 years. And because we have bought all of our white goods from The Good Guys, after returning from overseas, it was a no brainer, to go back to then again. The machine is easy to use and looks great in our pantry. One of the reasons we bought this particular machine, was that it is an LG model and they have a reputation for making good quality microwave Ovens, it also uses inverter Technology like some of our other white goods.
