This compact Inverter microwave had an impressive price tag and it has so many great options for all your needs. We love how it reheats evenly and the ease of opening the Inverter. It plays alittle tune after it’s finished which I like.

At a glance
This 25L LG benchtop microwave is a practical mid-range option for small households, apartments and anyone wanting reliable everyday reheating and defrosting. Its main strengths are steady 1000W Smart Inverter power, easy touch controls and a simple-to-clean interior. The main limitation is that it is a compact solo microwave, so it is less suited to larger families or buyers wanting grill or convection cooking.

Things to consider
This is a compact solo microwave focused on reheating, defrosting and simple cooking, so it offers less capacity and fewer cooking modes than larger premium convection or grill models.
Family suitability
Best for singles, couples and small households; suitable for light family use but compact for larger families
Student suitability
9/10 - compact, easy to use and well suited to reheating meals, drinks and simple defrosting in student accommodation
Ease of cleaning score
8/10 - anti-bacterial interior coating, touch controls and a tempered glass door help simplify wipe-down cleaning
Counter space suitability
8/10 - the 47cm width and 25L capacity make it a strong fit for compact benchtops
Noise level vs category average
About average - designed for standard everyday microwave use without any stated low-noise speciality feature
Key benefits
- Smart Inverter Technology: Delivers more consistent microwave power for more even reheating and defrosting than basic on-off style power control.
- 1000W Microwave Power: Provides strong everyday heating performance for fast meal and snack preparation.
- 25L Capacity: Offers practical internal space for daily use without taking up as much room as larger family-size microwaves.
- 292mm Turntable: Fits most standard dinner plates, making it convenient for reheating common household meals.
- Hexagonal Stable Ring: Helps keep dishes steadier during operation, which is useful for taller bowls and slightly off-centre containers.
- Touch Control Panel: Makes daily operation simple with a clean interface that is easy to wipe down.
- Anti-Bacterial Interior Coating: Helps make cleanup easier after splatters and routine everyday use.
- Child Lock: Adds peace of mind for households with children by helping prevent unintended operation.
Q: Is 25L enough for everyday household microwave use
A: For many small to medium households, yes. The 25L cavity suits leftovers, frozen meals, bowls and most standard plates, but it is still a compact microwave, so very large casserole dishes or oversized platters may be a tight fit.
Q: Will a standard dinner plate fit inside this microwave
A: Yes. LG MS2596OB uses a 292mm turntable, which is designed to take most standard dinner plates for everyday reheating. Extra-large platters or wide rectangular dishes can still be awkward, even if the plate itself fits.
Q: Does the LG NeoChef microwave have auto sensor cooking
A: No. LG MS2596OB does not include auto sensor cooking, so it will not automatically detect moisture or adjust time for you. Cooking and reheating rely on manual settings and preset functions, which gives less automation than sensor models.
Q: Will this suit a smaller kitchen benchtop without dominating space
A: Yes, for many kitchens. The 47cm width keeps the footprint manageable for a benchtop microwave, while the cavity is still large enough for everyday plates and bowls. Leave room for ventilation and for the door to open comfortably.
Q: Can it handle tall bowls and off-centre containers better
A: Yes. The turntable sits on a hexagonal support ring, which helps keep dishes steadier than a basic round support when they are slightly off-centre. It can help with tall bowls, but it does not change the internal cavity height.
Q: What cooking modes are included beyond reheating and defrosting
A: LG MS2596OB includes inverter defrost plus melt, proof, soften and keep warm functions. That gives it more flexibility than a basic reheat-only microwave, but it is still a microwave, not a full oven for baking or roasting.
