The LG MS2042DB is a countertop microwave with a 20 litre cavity and 700W of microwave power. The controls sit in a column beside the door: a small LED display, auto cook and auto defrost pads, time and weight keys, and a Q-Start button that adds cooking time in one press.

Key Features

Room for a full dinner plate to turn. The 20 litre cavity runs a 245mm glass turntable, so a plate rotates without catching the walls.
The inside wipes down with a cloth. EasyClean coating on the cavity means splashes come off without scrubbing or oven cleaner.
Frozen food thawed without guessing. Four auto defrost settings cover meat, fish, poultry and bread, set by weight rather than by timer.
Warm milk gently or reheat rice fast. 11 power levels across 700W let you dial the heat down instead of blasting everything.
Everyday dishes at one press. Auto Cook has set programmes for jacket potato, fresh vegetables and frozen vegetables.
Safe to leave in a busy kitchen. A child lock stops the oven being started by accident.
