What is an inverter microwave?
Unlike traditional microwaves that use a pulsed "on-off" approach to regulate power, inverter microwaves deliver a continuous stream of energy at the precise level needed. This precise power control ensures food is heated or defrosted more gently, preserving its texture and flavour. Inverter microwaves are also designed to be more energy-efficient than their traditional counterparts.
With an LG Smart Inverter microwave, you can achieve more even heating and defrostingfor delicious results every time. Whether you're defrosting delicate fish, reheating leftovers or cooking a family meal, an inverter microwave offers a smarter approach to your cooking experience.
How do I clean my microwave?
Cleaning a microwave is made simple with LG's Anti-Bacterial EasyClean™ interior coating. This protective layer helps to prevent stains and grime build-up inside your microwave oven. For regular cleaning, use a soapy cloth followed by a clean, damp cloth to wipe away residue. Always refer to your model's user manual for specific care instructions.
What should I look for when buying a microwave?
Choosing a new microwave can be surprisingly complex with so many options available. To help narrow down your choices, consider these key factors:
● Capacity and Size — Microwave ovens come in various sizes. Consider the amount of counter space you have and how much food you typically prepare. Compact microwaves are perfect for smaller kitchens, while larger models (42L or more) are ideal for families or those who frequently entertain.
● Microwave Type — Determine the type of microwave that best suits your cooking needs. Conventional types are the most affordable and perfect for quickly reheating leftovers, defrosting frozen foods and performing simple cooking tasks. Convection microwaves combine microwave technology with a heating element and fan, allowing for baking, roasting and grilling.
● Power and Performance — Wattage is crucial in how quickly your food cooks. Higher-wattage microwaves (800-1200 watts) generally cook faster, saving you valuable time in the kitchen. Consider your cooking habits and how often you use the microwave to determine the ideal power level.
● Turntable vs. Flatbed — Traditional microwaves use a rotating turntable for even cooking, but flatbed models offer a more spacious interior, and are easier to clean. Newer flatbed types used advanced technology to ensure even cooking without the need for rotation.
● Features and Functionality — Look for features like inverter technology, which provides precise power control, and sensor cooking to adjust power levels based on the food’s moisture content. For added hygiene, consider a microwave with an antibacterial interior coating that helps make cleaning simple and convenient.
● Energy Efficiency — An energy-efficient microwave can reduce your environmental impact and cut electricity bills. Look for models with a high Energy Star rating and consider inverter technology.

Is there a difference between a microwave and a microwave oven?
There is no difference. "Microwave" is just shorthand for "microwave oven." They both refer to the same appliance that uses electromagnetic radiation to quickly heat and cook food.
Is microwave inverter technology worth it?
Inverter microwaves offer several advantages over traditional models. They provide more precise power control, which means more even cooking anddefrosting, and gentler reheating. This helps preserve the texture and moisture in your food — preventing overcooked edges and cold spots.
Inverter microwaves also tend to be more energy-efficient and quieter than their traditional counterparts. They often have a sleeker, more compact design as well. While the initial cost might be slightly higher, the improved cooking performance and energy savings make inverter technology a worthwhile consideration for many.
