Excellent for Everyday Use

Lg 25L 1000W NeoChef Smart Inverter Microwave Black
Excellent service in Sunbury, in helping us choose the model that would suit us best. We are happy with our choice of the Neo Chef, still learning to use some of them, but plenty of choices or instant push if that is easier

Slim and easy
We had the same one 8 years ago. It wasn't worth the cost to get it fixed unfortunately. We love LG life is good! 😆

Value for money
I was looking for a basic microwave which doesn’t take up too much kitchen space and this delivered. My only complaint is that it plays a song at the end of each use which is super annoying and there’s no way to turn that off without turning off all the sound…

At a glance
