  • Such a great microwave! Will buy again!

    I bought this microwave for my family as we needed to replace an old broken one. I think it looks really nice and is easy to use and clean. Unfortunately we lost it in the recent floods but I will re-purchase when we have enough money as we really liked it.

    I just continue to love using this Microwave and just have to share the results with this community. Our old microwave was so hard to clean and just never seemed to heat evenly. We are so happy to have a microwave oven that cleans easily and smells good and heats evenly. Happy with results every single time. I give the LG NeoChef Smart Inverter Microwave Oven five stars!

  • Such a time saver!

    I simply love the sensor function. As a busy mum to a super busy toddler time in the kitchen needs to be minimal. Especially when getting dinner going. So that’s where my love of the sensor function comes in.
    I don’t have to think how long it’ll take to cook frozen veggies, or reheat plates. Or even defrost meat.
    I just tell the microwave what I’ve put in it and it works it out for me. And then it lets me know when it’s ready. Perfect!

  • Who Knew?

    Some more great microwave uses! LG NeoChef is not just good for food guys, it can do all kind of wonderful things, like make brown sugar usable again once it is rock hard, warm up towels, get more juice from citrus fruit… The list goes on! Take a look at this site and see what you can learn. For me it was a revelation. The pics are funny too as they are a bit old school and home done… Here is one of the pics, and here is the link too: http://www.viralnova.com/what-microwaves-can-do/

  • LG NeoChef Bacon...

    Yes it can be done, and it tastes good – bacon can be cooked in the microwave. Not only is the taste good, but it is ready so quickly and there is no pan to wash up afterwards.
    Page 16 of the manual shows how to do it… Basically take four rashers of bacon, place them on paper towel on a microwave safe dish, cover with more paper towel. Chose the sensor cook menu and boom, bacon in a hear beat! Note, pic is not of mine, as I forgot LOL

  • Eggs in the microwave!

    I have mastered scrambled eggs in the NeoChef – here is the basics:
    Crack a couple of eggs into a bowl, scramble with a fork, and microwave in 30-second increments until cooked through, stirring at each interval. Alakazam, scrambled eggs! Throw in some chopped veggies and serve with a slice of toast for a complete, filling meal.
    Remember the size of your eggs and the heat you cook on will affect the cooking time, so it is important to do the 30 second intervals, and remember the eggs will continue to cook when removed from microwave, so stop when they are slightly under. Note photo is

  • Reheating vegetables and chicken Casserole in minutes!

    I cooked a vegetable and chicken Casserole the other night and decided we would pull it out have have it for dinner as a quick and healthy dinner choice. I was a little worried about the sizes and portions of the chicken mixed in with all the different vegetable but to my surprise found that the microwave reheated them quite well. I used the manual function rather than reheat just so I could compare the two and was pleasantly surprised by the difference. It only took a couple of minutes and had dinner ready in a jiffy the cooling automatically happens in the microwave which gave me piece of mind whilst I was tending to baby and getting dinner on the tablet all in all a great microwave that seems pretty reliable with a brand I can trust!

  • Looks great with fantastic features

    I bought this a week ago and it’s wonderful. Great size, plays music sounds when finished, inverter great, no cooling period after cooking. Looks great in the kitchen and so far it’s easy cleaning.It takes all our large bowls & is considerably quieter than all the microwaves we have had in the past. The flush front panel looks great & is easy to use. The interior light is great, all in all a terrific product. Flush panel is perfect. Takes all large dishes and bowls and heats really quickly. Extremely happy with this product.

  • Cooks so well

    This microwave oven is truly out of this world technology. My goodness it is more powerful than my precious microwave. It is so very easy to use and it has a higher watt power so it cooks quicker and more effectively. I am a big fan as who knew you can use it in a diverse amount of ways. I know I can recommend to anyone who can afford. I think it is quite expensive for what it is but it is forward thinking technology so comes with the territory I guess

  • Great microwave oven

    For starters I cannot believe you are able to fry in the microwave oven. This product does everything! I have used it a few times at my friends place and I am starting to save some money aside to buy my own as a present 🙂 I think anything that is all in one is a totally life saver and fabulous.

  • LOvE

    I love this microwave oven. I can cook anything I would like in it, multiple dishes and it is very versatile. I really love that it is 1200 watts so every thing does cook a lot quicker which is more time efficient and just all in all way better to cook with. I love their design and who doesn’t like a orettt accessory! I will definitely recommend to family and friends any day

  • Dinner made easy

    Have had this microwave for a few months now and I’m still discovering things about it! I’m keen for winter so I can test out the slow cook function. I found it has started to rattle when using it, which could be the turntable, but overall it’s still a pleasant appliance. Everyone always comments on it when they visit. And admit they’re jealous haha!

  • Cooking adjustments made easy

    I’m loving the sliding function to adjust the cooking time.
    I’ve recently done a lot of baking and needed to melt or soften butter for my cakes and cookies.
    Whilst I’ve used the melt/soften functions I’ve found that in some occasions the original time set wasn’t enough.
    A simple swipe towards the + and the timer increases the cooking time without me having to stop and restart the program.
    We’ve also done the same swipe to reduce the time when we could see that the original time was going to be too long.
    Very handy and hubby was very impressed to learn of this function last week!

  • Simple to use, easy to clean

    The more I use it, the more I really love this mircrowave. With it’s stylish looks, and it being simple to clean and easy to use. It seems to reheat way more evenly that my previous microwave and I love the cooling function . I also love that the beeping on completion isn’t so loud so I don’t have to rush to stop it if the kids are asleep. And that means I have a better chance to whip up something to eat without waking them which gains bonus points in my eyes

  • Still loving it!

    I’m still loving the ease of using this amazingly smart microwave.
    I no longer have to think that extra step of “how long do I need to cook this for again?” I simply pop it on sensor mode and it works it out for me. Complete with a little song to let me know that the cooking time is almost done – along with the final chime at the end of cooking.
    And let’s not forget to praise the reminder chime – because let’s face it – meal prep with an 18 month old is never a smooth easy task

  • A handy appliance!

    This microwave is the bees knees. So many functions that you really need to study the manual to make full use of it. (Makes me wonder how much I didn’t know about my previous LG microwave!)
    I found I had to consult the manual before each use (except for reheating) just to make sure I had the settings right. With frequent use, you would learn all the functions easily.

    The microwave is BIG! It will not fit into a standard microwave cavity. It also needs clearance around it, so didn’t fit on the shelf in my walk in pantry either. If you don’t like appliances sitting on your bench top, this isn’t for you.

    Otherwise the design is nice and sleek and matches a modern kitchen nicely.

    Cooking was simple with the machine – instructions clear. While cooking a roast chicken, I missed the beep to turn the chicken over as I was distracted. So keep in mind to pay attention if there’s any need to pause cooking to stir or turn.

    Air frying had me intrigued. I did some wedges and it had a really good potato taste – wasn’t disguised by oil. Not as crunchy as I’m used to, but delicious all the same.

    Overall this is a great appliance. If you’re not using your oven to cook several dishes at once this is great. Also good as a backup if you’re needing to cook at different temperatures.

  • Versatility at its best!

    I’ve been using the LG NeoChef Microwave Oven for a few months now and it has made my life so much easier. I am able to steam / heat up / roast and defrost so quick and easily now without turning on my extremely large oven for a small amount of food. It’s particularly made my life easy for all the meals i prepare for my son which only require a small amount as well. Would highly recommend this product to anyone.

  • It's HUGE

    I didn’t buy my LG NeoChef Smart Inverter Microwave Oven in-store so I was surprised at how big it is. If you have a small kitchen (like me) make sure you enough benchspace because the instructions say that it can’t be built in. You must allow 8cm space all the way around.
    With plenty of room on the inside it is well suited to family-sized meals and it could replace having a built-in oven altogether because it is more than “just” a microwave. It is convection so you can grill and crisp meals too.
    It plays a very cute tune when the timer is up and it will play again if you forget to take something out of the microwave within an allotted time.
    I have found that on the Sensor function that my meals have been warmed perfectly all the way through without being too hot. It is perfect eating temperature.

  • Not just for heating - bakes like a champ!

    I had to bake two cakes for my twin daughters’ first birthday party last week, and I was able to do everything in this microwave. Baking cakes, softening butter to make icing, melting chocolate and cream to make ganache, and re-warming the ganache periodically to keep it runny without it burning. And they turned out really well (if I do say so myself). 🙂

For lighter wines that still taste like the real deal, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened range is quickly becoming a go-to. These bottles bring all the flavour with noticeably less alcohol, which is why everyone’s falling in love with them.

Best SIPS’ Chapel Hill Enlightened Wines review team put the Rosé and Pinot Grigio through their paces, and the feedback was unanimous: both are fresh, light and perfect for summer sipping without the unwanted morning crogginess.

A rosé with summer written all over it

Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Rosé is bright, crisp and fruity, hitting all the right notes without tipping into the “too sweet” zone. It’s the kind of bottle you reach for at a casual barbecue or any get-together where you want something delicious but easygoing.

It’s exactly this balance of lightness and full flavour in an affordable bottle that has so many fans raving.

“Light, refreshing and honestly just feels like a little moment of peace in a glass. The flavour is this perfect mix of crisp + fruity without being too sweet — literally the kind of rosé you can sip while you finally sit down after a long day.”

Women trying Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé.
A summer staple … on the lighter side

“Too many of these low alcohol wines just don’t taste enough like the real deal-but this is a sure fire exception. Beautifully refreshing, with a touch of sweetness that’s not overwhelming. A gorgeous colour too, which is a bonus- after all, we also drink either our eyes! Add into the mix a reasonable price point- this rose is a winner!”

“I love a nice glass of Rosé and the Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé did not disappoint! It’s really light and refreshing and tastes like a really expensive wine. I love that this wine is really affordable, so I can enjoy a beautiful Rosé without breaking the bank more often. Definitely give this one a try!”

If your warm-weather wine rack needs an affordable new staple, this is it.

A versatile sip you’ll keep reaching for

“I enjoyed the first sip to the last of this Pinot. Anything with pear and citrus is something I want to try and this lived up to that, but with a lighter alcohol content – which I appreciate! Enjoyed over dinner, it paired really nicely with the food I was eating. This wine is something I’d happily recommend to others.”

“The wine offered just the right balance of fruity flavours – fresh and vibrant, but never overpowering or too sharp. It paired beautifully with both our light lunches and dinner, making every meal feel a bit more special. I also appreciated how crisp and refreshing it tasted, perfect for unwinding and enjoying good company. Definitely a Pinot Grigio I’d reach for again.”

The team rates Enlightened wines 4.34 out of 5 and recommends them for anyone on the hunt for flavour-forward wine with less alcohol. They’re bright, modern and made for the kind of moments where you’d love a glass, but still want to feel good afterwards.

  • The warmer weather tends to make alcohol go to my head faster – I’m not a big drinker, but just for that reason I’d seriously consider a low alcohol wine. The Pinot Grigio particularly sound as if I might enjoy it. I might well buy a bottle or two for Christmas.

  • Looks delicious, would be keen to try their wines based off the reviews. Love anything local and the light wine is just an extra win – low alcohol content would be fab for nights with friends where we all still have to drive home afterwards so would be buying for that type of event!

  • Chapel Hill Wines do have quite a good reputation. I like the fact that it is low alcohol content. Personally, I like a very sweet wine but many would like these as they are not so sweet. I wish them well with sales and think it’s good they are doing something about lowering alcohol level.

  • Thanks for sharing this review. It sounds that the taste is good, the price is good and the alcohol content is really low indeed. I do like the fact that they’re light. One of the things I don’t like when you’re drinking a couple of glasses that it fills you up and it affects your appetite

  • I appreciate all the reviews and think this is an excellent way to get your brand out there and known.

  • I just asked the forum for recommendations on zero alcohol, but this is an attractive option as well! I do enjoy a Rose, so will try this one after all the positive reviews. It’s a shame they don’t have a sparkling in their collection yet! Would have been prefect for all the celebrating at this time of year.

  • I dislike rose, but the pinot grigio sounds like it might suit me. To be honest, the alcohol content doesn’t bother me all that much – I rarely drink more than a glass or two anyway – but it would probably be nice from a general health point of view to know I’m consuming less alcohol.

  • This sounds like the perfect glass. I do love being able to have a few drinks and not be all over the place about me. And as a bubbly girlie from Adelaide myself, I’m sure I’ll find a lot to like about this drop. Crisp and not too sweet, I’m sold and will have to try it.

  • It was the first time for me hearing about the chapel hill brand. And i still recall when i picked up the Pinot Grigio from my local, the staff there actually stopped me and said i picked a winner! She said that it was probably the best Pinot they had available to sell.

  • I’ve heard a lot of good things about Chapel Hill wines and the reviews are always good. I like that they have low alcohol range as I like to have a few glasses when I finally get to have one. Not being too sweet is a bonus that suits me well.

  • The idea of having a lower alcohol content wine without compromising taste is really exciting. There’s nothing worse than feeling “under the weather” from the effects of alcohol. This lovely wine ticks all the boxes, lower alcohol and a refreshing flavour. I’m keen to get the Pinot Grigio in my cart and into my fridge!

  • This wine sounds delightful and really refreshing to enjoy on a summer afternoon. I love that it tastes fresh and crisp and still has the same punch as other wine. It sounds like an absolute delight. I will have to give it a try next time i am at the bottle shop looking for some wine.
