We have owned lg products previously. Specifically front load washer and dryer and a refrigerator. Over the last few months we replaced our refrigerator dishwasher and microwave. All are stainless steel. And all are lg. The microwave works great. It is pretty quiet compared to our last one which was from a different manufacturer. The only thing that keeps my review from being 5 stars, is that there is no integrated timer. We didn't realize this at the time of purchase, as we know most microwaves have a timer feature. We had to go and buy a counter top timer because when we want to set a timer for something in the traditional oven or set a timer for anything else, an integrated microwave timer has always been handy in the past.
