Our Verdict
Samsung MS19DG8500SR
LG NeoChef MSER2090S
The LG NeoChef MSER2090S and the Samsung MS19DG8500SR are both large countertop microwaves. While the LG offers better overall performance, you may prefer either depending on your priorities. Choose the LG if you're looking for a microwave that cooks faster, or if the design of the controls is important to you, since the LG's glass touch panel is more responsive and pleasant to use. Go for the Samsung if noise is a concern for you, as it offers quieter operation.
