Such a time saver!
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!

LG NeoChef Bacon...
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!
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

Cooking adjustments made easy
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!

Still loving it!
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!
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!

It's HUGE
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.
