A nice absence of price jacking from Appliance Central - kudos!

Here is OzB and Choice's favourite microwave at a nice post-COVID price. Yes it was cheaper last year, and the year before, but my flux capacitor is not working.

The black/white combo may not suit everyone, so these are also available:
* MS4296OSS Stainless steel - $252.01
* MS4296OBSS Black stainless steel - $267.81

eBay Plus free delivery is nice too.

UPDATE
Sorry the LGs are all now out of stock.

At the time of this comment, there are three models available:

* Panasonic NN-SF564WQPQ 27L flatbed inverter - $220.41
* Panasonic NN-SF574SQPQ 27L flatbed inverter - $229.10

The Panasonic flatbeds are fantastic if you have limited space as they eliminate the turntable and irradiate from below.

    I bought this microwave from a previous OzB deal. It’s good, but the worst thing about this is that the shielding is terrible. Can’t use Bluetooth devices while it’s running without them cutting out all the time.

    • NinjaChicken on 06/09/2020 - 16:13

      Great microwave. But are you sure the shielding is the worst thing about it?….There is that little tune it plays when it finishes cooking…

      • QuickdraW on 06/09/2020 - 16:15

        can be turned off

          How?

          I agree the shielding is terrible, my wifi cuts out.

          • PeelThis on 06/09/2020 - 20:21

            @JayParker: Microwaves use 2.4GHz band, use your router's 5GHz band and you should be good.

          How?! Please, I need to know lol
          edit: (Googled it) "press and hold the 'Clear' button then press the 'Keep Warm' button for 5 seconds then the display will show the changing state 'On' or 'Off" of the beep sound"

            @michaelpls: @michaelpls: Holy hell you absolute star.. I've lived with that bloody tune for years, manual checking and googling failed me.

        • heineken016 on 07/09/2020 - 15:12

          I like the first play. But the third or fourth 'reminder' one when you're busy doing something else gets me!

      This has got me quite concerned about purchasing this, any others experiencing same issue?

      • flylin on 06/09/2020 - 16:28
        +2

        Yeah I have this microwave and get wifi cut out (but may be my fault as I'm running 2.4ghz wifi atm).

      • NinjaChicken on 06/09/2020 - 16:34
        +1

        It doesn't drop BT totally for me, but it certainly interrupts it..

      • donkcat on 06/09/2020 - 16:57

        Yes my AirPods cut out, like about 1m distance to it

      • whypaymo on 06/09/2020 - 17:34
        +1

        Yep, got it from the last OzB deal as well and experiencing the same issue with Bluetooth. Also, 9 months in to the purchase the microwave developed a fault (didn't heat items evenly) and TGG refused to exchange it. Had to wait 1 month for them to send it for repairs and receive it back. Apparently the magnetron was faulty, which is common issue with this model. I would stay away from these.

        • xrailgun on 06/09/2020 - 23:07

          do you have any alternative suggestions?

          • whypaymo on 07/09/2020 - 07:55
            +1

            @xrailgun: Try Panasonic or Sharp. We had a Panasonic flatbed at work which was great. I've seen sharp microwaves last >30 years and still going.

      • JayParker on 06/09/2020 - 18:22

        Yep, cuts out the wifi throughout my home

    • JoKing on 06/09/2020 - 16:57
      +2

      I was maybe going to pull the trigger until I saw this.. and a few other comments backing it up.

      That's a terrible design! I'd expect that from a Kmart branded one, but not LG.

      Thinking I might not get it now.

      • flylin on 06/09/2020 - 17:12
        +2

        I bought it originally cause it was ozbargain favourite.

        My minor gripes:
        - Due to the door design (input pad attached to the door), the door and associated sweep path is longer than it needs to be. For my specific location in my smallish apartment - it means I need to keep more things away from microwave sweep path on my kitchen bench.

        • a traditional dial knob is so easier to use than this microwaves touch style swipey time selector.

        With that said, this is my first microwave so nothing really to compare against… It cooks/heats well otherwise….

    • donkcat on 06/09/2020 - 17:00
      +2

      I think the worst thing is you can only dial in minimum 10 second increments, if u ever have to do baby formula/breast milk you’ll see how annoying that is.

      • mandelbrot on 06/09/2020 - 21:51

        Pretty sure this model has the scroll bar which can increase time really quick

        • donkcat on 07/09/2020 - 05:26

          Yes but if u want say 15 secs it can’t do it

          • Austaurean on 07/09/2020 - 08:11

            @donkcat: I have this MW as well, and thats one of my issues with it, not being able to input an exact time.
            plus it seems to get a lot of moisture buildup, our previous microwave never really had any.

    • spaceflight on 06/09/2020 - 17:51

      I have found that with all microwaves

      • Bog on 06/09/2020 - 18:55
        +1

        It didn’t happen at all with my old Sharp microwave. I didn’t even realise it could be an issue until I got this LG one.

        • NinjaChicken on 06/09/2020 - 20:56

          My running theory was it was due to this microwave having an inverter. My old one didn't and didn't interfere with bluetooth / WiFi.

    • 0zyt0zy on 06/09/2020 - 18:01

      I have this microwave and when ever it's in operation it interferes with the 2.4ghz wifi and cuts off internet access to all the devices. Since then I have connected all my other devices to the 5ghz band and all is well since then.

    • unicorse on 06/09/2020 - 18:03

      Maybe wrap the exterior with alfoil?

      Bonus if you wanted the silver coloured cabinet instead of this white one.

    • Budju on 06/09/2020 - 18:45

      As long as my food is warm when I nuke it, I don't mind if I have cancer in 20 years.

    • Yorkshire-Man on 06/09/2020 - 21:40

      I thought this was only me! I've fixed the wifi problem with a Google Nest WiFi but it kills my airpods. Never had an issue with my previous 2 sharp microwaves.

      Good at cooking, very poor shielding

    Great Scott!

  • b-radicool on 06/09/2020 - 16:23

    I have one of these at home, and use them at work.

    My only issue with it is the fact that the mandatory "cool" function after use (if it has been on for a while) feels like the microwave is still on. I always end up snatching my food out of there afterwards "just in case."

    • WhatWhoWhyUsername on 07/09/2020 - 12:34

      Does the cool function kick in after every time you use it?
      I've only had it come on after long use or something that generates alot of steam, which the manual also says it can activate intermittently.
      I hope mine isn't faulty.

  • Postal Dude on 06/09/2020 - 16:49

    Does the one with the knob ever go on sale?

  • FlatulentFrank on 06/09/2020 - 17:12

    Sooooo close to pulling the trigger. The Bluetooth experiences are concerning and stopped me from buying.

  • Gina Rinehart on 06/09/2020 - 17:15

    Got this a few months back. It's not bad. Only negatives would be the shielding like others said sometimes interrupts the wifi, and no timer function.

    That said, it's sleek and very easy to clean. Does a good job at being a microwave..

  • Mokej on 06/09/2020 - 17:21
    +2

    The shielding issue definitely isn’t that bad, mainly find BT headphones are affected when you’re within a few metres (when it’s cooking).
    the microwave itself is awesome with an extraction fan and evenly spaced cooking. Would recommend after 2 +years of ownership and countless crappy microwaves before that didn’t last/cook well/rusted out etc

    • Bog on 06/09/2020 - 17:29
      +1

      It’s not an absolute dealbreaker but it is annoying when you’re trying to watch a TV show or listen to music while cooking. Depends on your habits and usage.

  • relentlessM8 on 06/09/2020 - 17:29

    bought for $220 last year from HN (could have got it for $200 as there was a $20 cashback 2 days later 🙁). Heats well, but there are a few gripes. wifi interference within 1 meter of microwave, not an issue really since mine sits in pantry in one corner of the house, the touch buttons are hard to find in the dark, and the model with a rotating dial is more convenient but at the same time is less durable than the touch controls.

    • SBOB on 06/09/2020 - 18:02

      Not unless you had a bt controlled pace maker….

    • bio on 06/09/2020 - 18:14

      Following the same logic any Bluetooth device is bad for you, as they are not shielded at all.

    • michaelpls on 06/09/2020 - 18:35

        How does it work then? If you're looking into the microwave wouldn't one with more shielding be better??

        I understand if you're in the lounge room it won't matter..

        • eddyah on 06/09/2020 - 23:36

          Microwaves vibrate water and old molecules. This vibration is like friction which translates to heat and it's why food becomes warm.

          It's really quite magical.

          A microwave could boil you to death if you could weaponise it by focusing the beam. The waves that do escape this microwave model are probably so low in power that you couldn't feel it with your hand, just like you can't feel your wifi router or BT headphones electromagnetic radiation.

    I have the same model and apparently 2.4GHz wifi disruption is common with many inverter microwaves

    Protip: ended up wrapping some of my old placemats in alfoil and leaning them against the corners of the microwave that face my router (which is about 3m away)

    Ugly and annoying? Yes. But it worked - my wifi works without interruption now when I'm using the microwave.
