Our Verdict

GE JES1072SHSS

LG NeoChef MSER2090S

The LG NeoChef MSER2090S is a better microwave than the GE JES1072SHSS for most people. It's a much larger and more powerful model, so there's more room to heat larger dishes, and it cooks faster. The LG's glass touch panel is more responsive and pleasant to use than the GE's membrane touch panel. While the GE lets you start simple cooking programs with one button press, the LG makes it slightly easier to adjust the power level or set a specific cook time, like heating for 2.5 minutes at 50% power. That said, the GE is quieter, so you may prefer it for that reason.
