Need a new microwave, this one seems to get good reviews and Stan Cash has it for a good price.
Note: Appliances Online won't price match with Stan Cash, but they will price match Betta Electrical (same company - BSR Group), which has it listed for a similar price including deliver ($219).
The advantage of Appliances online is they will take the old appliance and packaging of the new one - so just depends if you want to save a little and pick up for $206 (if a store is near you) or have the full service for $219 (via Appliances Online).

    This is a similar model to the one we have. I quite like it but just be aware it might have the same issue with wifi 2.4g cutting out when this is in use lol

      Same microwave and the exact same issue but as stated only affects 2.4ghz network. Everything connected on 5ghz stays online.

        I wouldn't be using a microwave that does this. If it is taking out the wifi, I means that the microwave shield is defective and will increase your risk of cancer.

          If that were true 2.4ghz wifi everywhere would be giving people cancer m8

            @turkz1: It is also why you can cook your food next to your wifi. You should try it out

          Please support such claims with proven factual research, otherwise you will considered yet another ignorant fool spewing misinformation on the internet.

            @Captain Cheapskate: Name checks out. Maybe do your own research to come to your own conclusions.

            • Captain Cheapskate on 07/07/2024 - 11:25

              @jimmej: how mature. So have you adequately researched, tested and identified a correlation between particular radio waves, microwaves and cancer?

              Please share your knowledge. Which radio frequency does this microwave operate in, why does it cause interference with 2.4ghz and how does it present a risk health.

                @Captain Cheapskate: I can help with starting your research. ARPANSA is the best pace to start.

                You could also try the FDA which clearly states you should not be using a microwave with a defective shield.

                https://www.fda.gov/radiation-emitting-products/resources-yo…

                Lots of keyboard warriors willing to down vote my personal opinion which if they took 5 seconds to google, is based on facts. They are more willing to back someone who suggests that wifi outputs a similar power to a microwave. I will save you the googling, one outputs 10000 times more power.

                • evasive on 07/07/2024 - 11:55

                  @jimmej: I’m surprised these lg neo chef models are allowed to be sold still. They all interfere with 2.4ghz indicating the shield design is defective.

                  @jimmej: I use mesh wifi instead of central heating. Love it!

                • Captain Cheapskate on 07/07/2024 - 12:16

                  @jimmej: Thanks, although nothing on that site supports this claim, if anything it is nonsupporting.

                  It states microwaves utilise a non-ionizing radiation, which claims it does not cause cancer. The Cancer Council also claims that the only non-ionizing radiation that can cause cancer is UV light.

                  Both sites claim the only radiation that causes cancer is ionizing radiation, like that found in x-ray machines.

                  its needs to be mentioned that the FDA have a reputation to be sellouts and validate the narrative of those that provide financial backing, so take their narrative with a grain of salt.

                  What info do you have that supports your opinion that radio waves that interfere with wifi is a health risk? So far, I have not been able to find any credible information on the internet.

        Yep, had one of these…had problems and then got a kmart one for half the price which is just as good.

  • Finner on 07/07/2024 - 10:03

    Does having an inverter make a noticable difference?

      I feel food is more evenly heated. And the noise is less jarring

    • turkz1 on 07/07/2024 - 10:30

      Yes upgraded to this model for more even heating and while not perfectly even there’s definitely no more weird cold spots.

  • hopper on 07/07/2024 - 10:09

    Great unit, just disconnects Bluetooth and WiFi 2.4 when using. Told my wife not use it when I'm on teams.

    • Spizz on 07/07/2024 - 10:23

      Great for when you need the kids to disconnect.

    • IdBuyThat4aDollar on 07/07/2024 - 10:43

      Doesn't disconnect my Bluetooth completely while on teams, but apparently I "sound like a robot" according to my co-workers.

      Another thing that I'm not a fan with is the lack of tactile buttons

    Be aware that lots of people have reported that the magnetron dies in these. Had one myself and it died as well. Check ot the comments in this thread for more info.

    No doubt it is a great microwave, but for me, they just do not last long enough to warrant purchasing another one.

    • Commodore64 on 07/07/2024 - 11:40

      Mine started flaring flames before I shut it off… (for good)
      Aside from that it’s had terrible interference with my Bluetooth (couldn’t use AirPods anywhere in the kitchen when using it) way more then my new Panasonic inverter which cooks food far more evenly and doesn’t have a carousel to clean.
      Happy to have moved on from this.

    • d3ft on 07/07/2024 - 11:58

      I would've thought not breaking would be a key criteria to be classified as a "great microwave".

    This always has terrible reviews when it gets posted here

  • jackary on 07/07/2024 - 11:19

    Why does a product that seemingly has so many drawbacks have so many upvotes? 😭

  • ram4ram on 07/07/2024 - 11:21

    We have one… and have no issues related to the WiFi or Bluetooth.

    There's this short 'song' that it plays when the countdown ends as opposed to loud beeps. It was kinda weird at first but now i like it, cuz it means my food is ready. I guess i've been Pavlov'd.

    FYI you can turn off this sound. And also this microwave looks awesome, just so sleek.

    I've had two of these replaced under warranty in the past six months. Both magnetrons died.
    It's been a month with the third replacement, and I'm already noticing that food doesn't heat up all the time. I wouldn't be surprised if this one fails as well. If it does, I won't bother with the warranty and will just get something else.
    If you do decide to purchase, go with a reliable retailer that would be the least painful to deal with warranty issues.

    • ram4ram on 07/07/2024 - 11:54

      I've no issues with mine, touch wood, my experience with LG microwaves in the past has been amazing, with our OG one lasting over 10 years, and hoping that this one also lasts at least 5 years.

      Anyway I've had issues with a Breville microwave in the past. You should demand a full refund probably.

  • Wrathie on 07/07/2024 - 12:14

    Mine failed after 5 years

    It does say 10 year warranty on the magnetron - what do I do with that warranty?
