Our Verdict

LG LMC0975ST

LG NeoChef MSER2090S

The LG NeoChef MSER2090S is a better microwave than the LG LMC0975ST, mainly thanks to its larger internal capacity. It has more space inside, so you can reheat a full-sized casserole or lasagna along with plates and bowls of leftovers. While it's easier to start simple cooking programs with the LMC0975ST, it's still fairly easy with the NeoChef MSER2090S, and it's a bit easier to adjust the power level or set a more specific cooking time. That said, the LMC0975ST offers quieter operation, so you may prefer it for that reason or if you need a smaller microwave.
