Side by Side Comparison of: LG vs Frigidaire

The microwave arrived quickly without any problems. Satisfied.

The clock on the microwave tends to go out but that is not a problem for me since I have clocks everywhere. I really like the different light settings and the fan exhaust speeds. It has many features and probably many that I will never use since I am not a cook. Overall I am pleased with this microwave.

The microwave fit perfect and works very well. It was so nice to pick the exact item needed and have it delivered to the house. So many times when going to the appliance stores they are limited and you can end up purchasing something you were not really satisfied. Also, I did not have to haul it up the stairs myself.

Excellent product. Powerfull exhaust fan. Good product.

Love my new mircowave. It looks great, cooks well and is simple to use. Highly recommend it.

It arrived very well packaged, not damaged. The interior is huge. The touch pad is an actual touch pad unlike the frigidaire I had, the touch pad on that had to be pressed forcefully.This microwave requires only a light touch, it comes with a template for installation. This made it quite easy to install and I am in no way considered the handy person.Interior is grey, it has a sleek looking exterior , the display window could be bigger but that does not bother me at all.I have not had any door latch issues as some reviewers mentioned.If you are on the fence about getting it , I suggest getting it. It was well worth the price for me.

Arrived in good shape, easy to install but I like the ones that automatically start when pressing 1-9 for 1-9 minute durations better.

I've only had this microwave less than a month, but have had no issues.

not to quite when running

Carton damaged -Checked out OK Installed works fine. Fast delivery

You can see every fingerprint on the key pad but besides cleaning it often it works really well.

Oven came parts missing filters and turntable chipped.. Waiting for replacement. Oven installed.

We had to return it because it didn't have a timer

The product works fine, but the bottom plate rattles. I tightened the screws but it did not help. I contacted the company but they were no help.

Replaced a 11 year old GE Profile unit with this. In some cases I feel this product is a step backward as far as options and ease of use.Clock will not stay on (supposedly an energy saving feature) -- ridiculous. Can't see in the small window to the dimly lit inside to see how food is cooking -- frustrating. Touch screen sensor food profiles have to be accessed by pressing the numeric keypad to see options -- time consuming.On the plus side I think the exhaust fan is great and isn't too noisy considering how much air is being pushed. Cooking is fast and even. I wish I had gone to an appliance store to see the features explained more clearly instead of purchasing online.

So far, this microwave has been doing OK, (with the exception of the exhaust fan which I think has a bad switch because even though it says it is in "LOW SPEED", the volume and pitch are the same as "HI SPEED").I've had it for almost 3 weeks now, and today I started a return because it quit heating. I decided to check out the LG website for any information concerning repair help and was led to a troubleshooting guide. After going though that, I found out that it has a "Timer Mode", (where it runs, but does not heat). After clearing the screen, it started working again. I don't know why they made the timer mode look and sound like the microwave is running. My last microwave had a timer that ran independently of the microwave itself. With this one, the only way to tell it's not cooking is that it doesn't heat at all.

Looks good, too noisy

WOW am I ever surprised! The product descriptions states "Spacious 2.0 cu. ft. interior Accommodates a wide range of meal and snack items" this spacious interior is in reality 1.4 cubic feet!!!. LG's claim of 2 cubic feet include all of the little indentations on the sides and bottom So perhaps this unit has a 2 cubic feet capacity .. if you laid it on it's back drilled a hole in the door and poured in 2 cubic feet of liquid! Well so much for honesty in advertising ... I'll write another review when i actually start using my small microwave but for now I feel duped.

All I am judging this unit on is looks and usability, The clock does not continuously display, the mounting holes do not match up with GE. I prefer the usability and comfort of controls of a GE Profile however you can expect to replace the GE Profile every couple of years with a control panel fault after my 3rd GE in 9 years I decided to buy this LG Not as user friendly however it may last longer who knows.... The other comments you read are correct. View window is small, under lite is dim inside is black and if your not venting through the roof you will have to change the vent system.(everything you need is included)

Bought this 23 months ago and it works just fine till today. LG chat suggests the magnetron failed. The microwave appears to work but the food does not get hot and the turntable isn't turning. Another reviewer had the same problem and their technician replaced a faulty relay. I hope the fix is simple. For the last 23 months it works well but it is very loud with the vent fan on even on low as others commented. Also it would be nice to turn off the turntable which you can't. Lastly, there is no timer to time your baking cookies or dinner. Our oven has a timer but often it would be nice to have two timers. I wouldn't have even believed a kitchen appliance made would not have a timer. All in all, ok but loud. By the way, the fire issue was fixed in 2014.

I had the older version 2083ST and it stopped working so I replaced it with this microwave - has identical size and older model does not exist.Two aspects were problematic from the prior model - one of the mounting screws was located in the wrong position, thankfully the wall bracket and one of the screws aligned perfectly. So had to drill one more screw. However, the two screws are not symmetrical i..e the distance from the sides of the microwave are different. This is bad engineering, as the center of gravity is not the center.Second, the interior is grey, so we cannot be see the food cooking. Moreover, the bottom of the outside panel is tinted (or black) so unless you are 6 ft tall, you cannot see the very dark interior with very small light.Further, the microwave arrived with the mounting bracket (which was located at the top of the microwave carton) bent; thankfully, we had the older one, we did not have to use it.Overall, disappointed with LG design and there is no backward compatibility with older models.

This microwave is NOT worth the money! I will be sending it back! Does not cook correctly!

It came damaged/ dented on the back. The opening that you can see through on the door is so small I cannot see in the microwave. I'm 5'4". The beeper on the touchpad and when the cooking ends is super loud - there is no way to soften it so we had to turn it off completely - such a pain!

Lasted 5 months

Worked 3 months then went out...had repaired 3 times and on 3rd visit they deemed it unrepairable. Went a total of 14 weeks with no microwave!

Looking to make some soup on the stove-top? Boil water for pasta? Better make sure to do it on the right side of your stove and hope that the touchpad still works afterward. We purchased this microwave in July '15, and three times had to call LG customer service due to an unresponsive touchpad after boiling water. Each time it took a few days for a tech to arrive, and when they did, the touchpad had begun working again. Each time the tech told us that since the problem had been "solved", and the production functioning "properly", they couldn't repair or replace any parts, *even though this was an ongoing issue*.It has now been three days since my wife decided to make some chicken soup, and we've been without a working microwave ever since. We've unplugged it, and plugged it back in, left it unplugged for a day, and nothing has changed. The light works when the door is opened, and when you plug it in it prompts you to set the time, but with an unresponsive touchpad it might as well be completely dead.Now that the warranty period is over, LG will not cover a repair tech coming out to fix this issue. Even though we reported multiple times the exact same issue while it was under warranty and nothing was done. We purchased all LG appliances for our kitchen. Fortunately for us, the refrigerator died while under warranty and was repaired. The microwave did as well, but as I said above, was never repaired properly, and now is basically dead. That's a 50% failure rate in under a year. We will not be purchasing any LG appliances, or any other LG products, ever again.

I bought this unit to replace an older LG model that was discontinued. The older model worked fine until I melted it with a small kitchen fire (naturally the one time I disconnected the smoke alarm). The new model arrived quickly. I got a friend to help install it. You'll need a friend -It's too heavy for you to hold it up with one hand while you screw the bolt on with the other.I gave it four stars in my initial review but I'm changing it to one star because after only a couple of months, the microwave's fan and interior lights would go on sometimes when I closed the oven door. But if I opened and gently closed the door again, it'd turn off. It's been about six months since I first installed this oven and this problem is becoming frequent. Today, my son texts me from home that the microwave won't turn off no matter what he does so I told him to leave the door open and when I get home tonight, I will disconnect it so it doesn't burn the house down. A microwave oven is supposed to make our lives more convenient, not fill us with dread that it can start an electric fire. Checking on the internet, it seems that this is not an uncommon problem. It's probably not going to be covered by warranty. And how do I get it to the manufacturer? They aren't going to pay a repairman to make a housecall for a lousy microwave oven. If I pay for shpping both ways, I might as well buy a new microwave. Lessons learned: I will buy appliances from a brick and mortar store whose return/service policy I understand and I will not use an over-the-range microwave again.

The handle is attached to the door by two weak screws that bear up against a nonmetallic surface on the door. For my unit, the lower attachment door surface broke within six months and the handle pulled away from the door.I am having a service call take care of it but it looks like a design flaw. Even if I get a replacement door, I expect it will break again in six months. Avoid this model design.Updated Dec 2016: Yes the replacement door also is showing the same problem.Worse: The magnetron failed as soon as the one year warranty was up. Would not heat food. We had a service call and replaced it.It has failed again in 9 months. LG wants more for a service call than the new microwave cost.I would avoid LG microwaves completely. I still have a countertop Panasonic microwave working perfectly after 15 years - unfortunately LG does not know microwaves :)
