LG 56L 1200w NeoChef microwave
The microwave was a replacement for my 16 year old LG microwave. Only issues I could find are the feet do not hold it on position very well when opening the door. The door release also does feel a bit flimsy, but it must be a LG thing as my old microwave did exactly the same thing. it is quite large and comfortably holds large dinner plates with ease. I was only looking at the mocrowave around teh 42 litre capacity, but GG had a 25% off sale via the app, so why not. I am happy I went with this microwave

The Best Microwave on the Market
We have tried many microwave ovens but this is the smartest, easiest to use and most sensibly designed microwave available. Try asking another brand of microwave to heat something for 18 secs with only 3 pushes of a button. They can't do it. All the preset settings mean you have to push half a dozen buttons, maybe to get it to do something so simple. Fine if you want your oven to heat 30 secs, it can do that. The LG can also do that. But only the LG can heat for what ever time you wish. It also has pre sets, but they are separate and the oven still lets you do what you want to do. Of course the other huge benefit, is the size. Brilliant. Fits anything! Very well thought through design. Good lighting. Easy to clean. Wonderful all round.

Great size microwave
LG microwave is a good size unit. It heats up food very well and easy to use. One issue with the unit is, it's door release handle. You have to press it, in a particular section of button, in order to open the door. The door latch is very firm. When you try to close the door, it makes a loud sound. I wish the door locking latch, was more smooth and less noise.

At a glance
This 56 L LG NeoChef microwave is a powerful large-capacity option for families, frequent reheating and bigger plates or casserole dishes. It suits households wanting simple touch controls, precise inverter cooking and sensor menus in a stylish matte black design. Key strengths are its size, even heating and easy-clean interior. The main limitation is that its large footprint may not suit compact kitchens.

- Large Portion Cooking
- Everyday Defrosting
- Leftover Reheating
- Benchtop Convenience

Who it’s for
- Families
- Busy Households
- Home Cooks
- Shared Household Users
Things to consider
Its 56 L capacity and wide turntable are excellent for larger dishes, but the bigger benchtop footprint makes it less suitable than smaller premium compact models for tight kitchens or apartments.
Family suitability
High - the extra-large 56 L capacity and wide turntable suit family-sized portions and larger serving dishes.
Student suitability
Moderate - simple controls and reheating functions are helpful, but its large size may be excessive for single-person or compact student living.
Ease of cleaning score
8/10 - rounded cavity corners and an anti-bacterial interior coating make routine cleaning easier than many basic models.
Counter space suitability
4/10 - best for medium to large benchtops because the 56 L capacity and wide turntable require substantial space.
Noise level vs category average
About average - no specific low-noise design is highlighted, so expect typical microwave operating sound.
Key benefits
- 56 L Capacity: Gives you extra room for larger plates, casserole dishes and bigger meal portions than many standard microwaves.
- 1200 W Power Output: High maximum power helps heat, cook and reheat larger quantities of food more quickly.
- Smart Inverter Cooking: Delivers more precise power control for more even reheating, defrosting and cooking with fewer hot or cold spots.
- 10 Power Levels: Lets you choose from high-heat cooking down to gentle 120 W softening for better control across different tasks.
- Sensor Cook Menus: Built-in options such as casserole, jacket potatoes and risotto help reduce guesswork for common meals.
- Inverter Defrost by Weight: Automatically adjusts defrosting based on food weight to help thaw proteins more evenly.
- 406 mm Wide Turntable: Better supports larger dishes and helps reduce tipping or spills from off-centre items.
- Easy-Clean Interior with Rounded Corners: Curved rear corners and an anti-bacterial coating help make wipe-downs simpler after everyday use.
Q: Is the LG MS5696OMBS a good choice for large dinner plates and casserole dishes?
A: Yes. This 56L model has a wide 406mm turntable and an extra-large cavity, so it is better suited to big plates, casserole dishes and larger microwave cookware than many standard midsize units. Measure your favourite dish before buying.
Q: How does the Smart Inverter system change cooking results on this LG microwave?
A: It adjusts power more precisely instead of relying on a simple on and off cycle. That helps the MS5696OMBS reheat and defrost more evenly, with less risk of hot edges, cold centres or partially frozen spots in thicker foods.
Q: Does 1200W mean this microwave will cook faster than lower-powered models?
A: Yes. With a maximum 1200W output and 10 power levels, this model can heat larger portions more quickly than many lower-powered microwaves, while still dropping to 120W for gentler tasks like softening butter or delicate warming.
Q: Are the Sensor Cook menus useful, or will manual settings still be needed?
A: Both are useful. Sensor Cook can automatically handle selected dishes such as casserole, jacket potatoes and risotto, while manual time and power control still suits leftovers, custom portions and foods that need a specific heating time.
Q: What is the trade-off of choosing a 56L microwave like the LG MS5696OMBS?
A: The main trade-off is bench space. A 56L microwave gives more room for large dishes and family-size portions, but it is physically larger than compact models, so checking both cavity needs and available benchtop space is important.
Q: Is this LG microwave easier to clean than a typical flat-walled cavity design?
A: Yes. The rounded cavity corners make wipe-downs simpler because there are fewer tight angles for splatters to collect in, and the interior coating is rated to 99.99% anti-bacterial in SGS testing. It still needs regular cleaning after spills.
