    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.
