How does the LG MSER2090S compare with smaller 0.9 cu. ft. microwaves?

It has more than twice the cavity volume, so it fits large casserole dishes and tall containers that small units cannot. It also runs at 1200 watts versus the 900-1000 watts typical of compact models, so it heats faster.

Is 1200 watts enough for fast cooking?

Yes. 1200 watts is on the high side for a countertop microwave and shortens reheating and defrosting times compared with lower-wattage rivals. Cooking times on older recipes may need trimming.

What is the bottom-hinged door like to use?

The door drops down and out of the way like an oven door, which gives clear access to the cavity. It needs clearance in front of the unit when open.

Does it fit under a cabinet?

It is a countertop unit with a 2.0 cu. ft. cavity, so it is tall and deep. Measure your counter depth and the gap under your cabinets before placing it.

Does it have sensor cooking or convection?

No. This model is a straightforward microwave with 1200 watts of cooking power and no sensor or convection features. Buyers who want those should look at LG's inverter or combination models.
