Purchased this micro from ABC warehouse Oct 19 2010, and installed in Oct 26. Noticed it was overheating food. The auto popcorn setting would work for 30 seconds and stop giving an F-4 fault. LG policy is to call service so I did. A service person came out and contacted LG. LG said there is not F-4 fault on the books for this microwave. LG said it was the main controller that was out. ABC Warehouse said they could get another micro the next day but LG would not let me get a replacement without on-line authorization. I went to resolutions@LG.com and requested that I be able to replace the microwave. The customer service person told me I would get a response within 48 hours. I never even received an on-line acknowledgement of my request. Service called after leaving the house and said the part is on backorder with no anticipated date of getting the part in. I called the Indian speaking customer service again after several days and they said I would be called any minute. I was never called. I called again today after over two weeks of waiting and now they say they have to call back Monday because their parts department is not open Saturdays. I would never purchase another LG product again. Their customer service is simply lip service and the LG must stand for Life is Good for the Company only because they do not know how to take care of customers.

Professional design, professional cooking: The LG LMHM2017 Microwave Ovens. The microwave was one of the greatest inventions of all time, providing a faster way to cook a meal or heat up a dish. But what if you just need to keep a dish warm without overcooking it? This Over the Range Microwave with Extended Vent comes with a warming lamp so you can keep food warm and ready to serve for up to 90-minute. Catch the Smoke: Over the Range microwaves have always been great at capturing the smoke from the back burners of your stovetop, but not the front burners. LG introduces the Extended Vent, which covers the entire cooking surface allowing for even greater ventilation. Warming Lamp: LG revolutionizes microwave cooking with the introduction of the first Warming Lamp. The warming lamp uses a radiant heating element to keep food warm, as opposed to microwaves or a hot bulb. Keep Quiet: With an Over the Range Microwave Oven, strong ventilation is key. That's why LG has created the Quiet Power vent, which does the job quietly, without interrupting your life. Sensor Cooking: Eliminate the guesswork in cooking. Humidity-sensing technology determines when food is cooked and automatically turns off the microwave to prevent the over- or under-cooking of meals. Monitor Design: Moving the controls to the bottom of this microwave oven gives it a unique look suitable for your design sensibilities. Look like a pro: This microwave will help you cook the perfect meal every time and match your design sensibilities. Our Professional Design features ease of accessibility and a pro-style, asymmetrical design.

Sharp R-308KK 1-Cubic-Foot 1100-Watt Microwave Oven, Black Review

Sharp R-308KK 1-Cubic-Foot 1100-Watt Microwave Oven, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This Sharp microwave oven, with 1 c.f. of total capacity and about 0.8 c.f. of usable capacity (according to Consumer Reports), is a great performer. It heats food quickly and for the most part evenly. The turntable turns automatically and alternates between clockwise and counterclosewise turns. There's a lightbulb inside that lights up when you open the door or when the microwave is operating. The heat output is rated at 1100W, which is usually the power assumed by most microwave heating instructions on food packages - a great convenience.
There was a story I read a few years ago that looked into microwave oven safety, and Sharp came out ahead. So I feel confidend that this microwave oven, assembled in Thailand, should also be one of the safest. Of course, you should keep at least 7 inches away from the oven when its magnetron is generating microwaves, just to be totally safe. One guy complained about the "loud" door; yes, but it's designed to be safe. I'd never trade safety for a flimsy, "easier" door.
The LCD display is always backlit (in green), which is really nice, esp. if you, like I, use the LCD as a clock and also as a timer. (Clock is am-pm-agnostic 12-hour type, while timer has a maximum countdown of 99:99.) The Minute Plus feature is extremely convenience. The keys beep when you press them, but the beep and that "cooking finished" long beep can be turned off easily. You can also invoke a "safe" mode so that the buttons don't work, kind of like a "hold" feature on audio players -- great for families with kids who like to fiddle with appliances.
My only complaint is, like all Asian electronics companies, Sharp pays little attention to the user-friendliness of the unit. The keys all look the same and are about the same size. While they are responsive, sometimes you need to hunt for the keys you want to press. The End and Start keys, in particular, should have been made to stand out. Also, unlike many other Sharp models, this one requires you to press the Power button multiple times instead of just pressing a numeric button to specify a power level. Finally, the reheat/cook button works ridiculously complicated. All these anti-user features detract a full star from an otherwise really excellent appliance.
The all-black finish looks great and the oven fits well under most kitchen cabinets. I do recommend this oven despite the ergonomic issues mentioned above. For me, Sharp microwave ovens' reliability reputation, safety record and Minute Plus convenience are reason enough to recommend them highly.

Sharp 1-1/2-Cubic-Foot 1100-Watt Over-the-Counter Microwaves Review

Sharp 1-1/2-Cubic-Foot 1100-Watt Over-the-Counter Microwaves
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First let me explain why I purchased the Sharp "OTC". We recently updated our kitchen and decided on a standard hood vent for above our stove. When it came time to replace our Microwave that had been sitting on the counter, we wanted one that was a "space saver", i.e. Over-the-counter. There were very few to choose from! So we decided to go with the sharp.
I have not been disappointed at all! I was originally concerned about the installation. It was a breeze. The sharp is a nice size microwave as well, not a compact.
As for the 5 stars I've given it, I have very little complaints.
Pros: Big & powerful. Fairly easy to install. Great price (as compaired to Over the Stove types). This model has many great features as well. Sensor reheating, presets for popcorn, frozen foods,..etc.
Cons: Sensor reheat over heats food just slightly. Some reheating features are slightly complicated to use, so I don't bother. (lots of button combinations that I can't seem to remember yet)
I hope this was helpful.

Bacon Genie Review

Used this product for the first time yesterday. Cooked 12 pieces of bacon beautifully. After breakfast, saw that we still had 4 pieces left over in the package, so put those in to cook (after draining the grease from the first batch). Three minutes into the cooking process, noticed a funny smell. Opened the microwave and the product had melted -- hole in the bottom, so grease is all over the microwave (luckily, we have a glass tray in the microwave, so it captured most of it). Went to remove the pieces of bacon from the rack and off came a string of plastic with one of the pieces where it had melted to the bacon!

Making bacon has never been easier and cleaner. With the Bacon Genie you can make up to 12 strips of bacon in your microwave delicious, crispy bacon. The Bacon Genie eliminates splattered stovetop mess. Since bacon hangs vertically on the Genie, your bacon comes out crispy. Simply hang up to 12 strips of bacon on the Bacon Genie, microwave, remove bacon, place the Bacon Genie in the dishwasher (it's dishwasher safe) and eat. No mess; ready right away. Everyone's long standing wish (everyone who loves bacon) answered by the Bacon Genie.

Nordic Ware Microwave 12 Piece Cookware Set Review

Nordic Ware Microwave 12 Piece Cookware Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently purshased this set and have had real problems trying to get the lids to 'snap' on.
The majority of the lids alMOST fit, which is somewhat frustrating in itself. I've tried pressing, pushing, popping, and even putting all my weight on the lids without success. Swearing didn't help the lids fit any better, either. No surprise...it seldom does. I even tried pliers to try to snap the lid on the oval piece. Only succeeded in breaking the lid. The aforementioned swearing rapidly graduated to cursing, although no hair cuttings, nail clippings, hatpin-stuck small dolls, nor sacrificial small animals were involved. And, the lid STILL didn't pop onto the cookware.
You just have to marvel at how the lids can come sooooo CLOSE to fitting...but, just absolutely refuse to go that extra hair's width to make the seal.
NordicWare....WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THOSE LIDS???!!!!
The lid issue aside, I've used the cookware frequently for storing leftovers in the fridge and for microwave reheating of same, and the cookware works fine. It cleans up well, and it looks nice.
There, I've said something positive.
But, again...NordicWare....WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THOSE LIDS???!!!!

Progressive International Microwavable Potato Cooker with Lid Review

Progressive International Microwavable Potato Cooker with Lid
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Like most people who have used a microwave, I've experienced food products exploding. Sometimes potatoes do this even with the recommended slitting of the spud and Progressive puts the lid on this problem quite literally with their potato cooker.
The bottom of the dish is not the same as using a typical plate because of raised half-inch plastic spikes along the bottom. These support the spud during the nuking process and avoids the "hot spot" on the bottom so common in using a regular plate for the microwave. This helps the tuber cook more evenly which makes for fewer explosions, a tastier spud consumption experience and easier cleanup.
The lid, apart from preventing a mess in the microwave, works in tandem with the raised bottom spikes to contain the inevitable steam which happen whenever a kilowatt of microwaves are hitting a veggie, while letting the food steam a bit in its own juices. Nobody likes a steamy microwave from a dried out veggie, and this product solves the issue nicely.
It's a bit too big for one potato and about right for two potatoes, and too small for three. It would have been better as a part of a three pack of one the size it is and one smaller, and one bigger. That way there would be a choice of cooking one potato, two potatoes, three potatoes, four.
Groan... that was bad, but the product is one I'd recommend to anyone who likes their baked potatoes.

Instead of using soggy paper towels, plastic lids, and other coverings for reheating microwave meals, use something designed for the microwave. Made out of dishwasher safe plastic, these covers go direcly over whatever your cooking and protect from splatter. This particular brand comes in sets of two so when one is dirty, the other can be used. Cleaning a microwave is time consuming, these covers saves you this ordeal.
