Our Verdict

LG MVEM1825F

Samsung Bespoke ME90H1780R

The LG MVEM1825F is a better microwave than the Samsung Bespoke ME90H1780R for most households. They're both quiet over-the-range models with enough internal capacity for large dishes, like a casserole or mixing bowl. However, the LG offers better performance for everyday use. It's more powerful, so it heats faster, and you can start simple cooking programs, like cooking at 100% power for three minutes, with fewer button presses. That said, the Samsung offers a few extra features that might sway you. It can sync with Samsung ranges equipped with SmartThings, the brand's smart home ecosystem, so the hood light and fan start automatically when you use the range burners. It can also air fry, convection cook, and steam, so you may prefer it if you want a microwave that can multitask.
