The LG MH8265DIS is a countertop microwave with a 42 litre cavity, a glass turntable and a Smart Inverter magnetron. The front is a single flat glass panel with a lit display, six touch labels and one metal dial, so setting a time is a turn and a press.

The microwave with its door open, showing the dark grey cavity, the glass turntable and a printed cooking chart on the right of the door frame — The cooking chart sits inside the door frame rather than in a booklet, so the code for roast chicken or frozen pizza is in front of you while you are choosing it.

Key Features

Room for a family sized dish. 42 litres of cavity space, with a glass turntable to keep heating even.
Browns food as well as heating it. Cook Mode switches between microwave, grill and a combination of the two.
Frozen meat thaws evenly instead of cooking at the edges. Inverter Defrost has separate settings for meat, poultry, fish and bread.
Cook without guessing time and power. The Inverter Cook menus cover roasts, soups and curries, softening and melting, and cooking straight from frozen.

Few controls to learn. One dial sets the value, and START doubles as a plus 30 seconds key.
