Inverter microwave ovens: advertising gimmick or real benefit? What is an inverter microwave oven: operating principle, models, reviews LG inverter microwave oven buy

New items for the kitchen were shown in Moscow - a series of LG NeoChef microwave ovens. Household appliances expert Daniil Golovin attended the presentation and shares his impressions with Digital Media readers.

I really love LG. Koreans have a lot of interesting home appliances, but unfortunately, we don’t see everything on the Russian market. But the people working in the Russian representative office of the company are good. I love them too. But love is love, and what about the new microwave ovens?

Bet on design

At the presentation the center of attention was clearly design new products They say that when a person comes to a store, he chooses equipment with his eyes. And then he begins to understand the functionality. And here I agree - in principle, I’m unlikely to approach a nondescript thing. Are the new LG NeoChef microwave ovens beautiful? Everything here is subjective. At the presentation they talked a lot about minimalism, which became the basis of their design. There was even a slogan: “The charm of minimalism.” Considering the prices of stoves - from 13 thousand for solo versions to 30 thousand for models with convection - I was also reminded of modesty and the bourgeoisie.

By the way, they did a clever thing with the stoves themselves - they were built into the wall: it felt like it was a built-in. And they looked great like that. But don’t forget that this is still a solo technique. They simply hid the cases from guests, focusing attention on the most beautiful thing - the front panel. But in the kitchen the stove will be completely visible. Look at the photo and decide for yourself whether the design is yours or not. There is also glossy tempered glass different colors, and metal. Simple lines, matte cases. I liked the white one, and besides, fingerprints are less visible.

A host of technologies

New inverter stoves ( Smart Invert technologyer) – the magnetron generates microwave radiation non-discretely with maximum power, but constantly, but changes power in correlation with the selected program, cooking mode. At first, so that everything cooks quickly, the power is high, but gradually it decreases. This results in higher quality cooking - less risk of overdrying, uneven heating and other microwave roughness. And it is not just words. I once tested two ovens with the same microwave power: an inverter and a non-inverter. So, milk does not spill when boiling, omelette, fish, chicken liver and baked apples in inverter oven turned out better too. Some a lot, some a little, but better.

The new LG NeoChef has automatic programs preparing various products and dishes. This is good because it’s convenient: you press one button and you get the finished result. There is a function for making homemade yogurt. For lovers of culinary experiments, they even provided settings for gently melting cheese and chocolate. Grill at NeoChef ovens with special carbon fiber - this, according to the manufacturer, allows you to create a kind of charcoal grilling effect. However, they don’t promise smoke. The new products have touch controls. The control panel is easy to keep clean due to the lack of buttons. For those who like to always be aware of how the chicken is doing, there is LED lighting in the working chamber. It is brighter than a regular lamp, and more durable, plus it saves energy.

The power of LG NeoChef ovens is up to 1100 watts. With generally normal dimensions, the Koreans have increased the internal volume of the models: 39 liters for models with convection and 25 liters for solo microwaves and versions with grill. Diameter turntable– 36 cm and 29.2 cm, respectively. Inside the working chamber there is antibacterial enamel for easy cleaning. And one more feature - the turntable holder has 6 supports (wheels), and not 3, as in many other ovens. Therefore, the table itself is more stable and will not fall off the holder, even if you place something on the edge. Its “load capacity” is also higher – up to 2 kg. It's a small thing, but nice.

Expert opinion

New microwaves LG NeoChef is a strong, high-quality product. Koreans are generally strong in the microwave segment. But technologically I didn’t see anything new. Inverter power control, auto programs, even the so-called charcoal grill - all this is cool and all this has already been done. Some are only available from LG, some from other manufacturers as well. That is why the main emphasis in these stoves is on design. But no matter how hard you try to convince everyone that they are beautiful, everyone will still form their own opinion about it. Overall, I liked them.

The line definitely has a future, because many people are very careful about the design of their homes. And the kitchen is traditionally a place in Russia where people spend a lot of time. This is where they come in handy different variants appearance of NeoChef models. Globally, there is clearly some stagnation in the product segment of microwave ovens: we have not seen significant innovations from any manufacturer for several years, since the appearance of inverter models.

In my opinion, microwave oven manufacturers should focus their efforts on developing cycles such as defrosting and reheating - offering more new things in this context, focusing on the quality of these processes. I conducted a mini-survey on Facebook, the result of which was, of course, predictable: most microwave ovens defrost and reheat.

However, LG Electronics does not really agree with this. Here's a final comment from the company: LG NeoChef has up to 24 auto programs, depending on the model (8 - defrosting and cooking, 8 - baking, 8 - cooking popular dishes), there are also auto programs for heating. Before launching LG NeoChef on Russian market, we conducted research in the field of microwave ovens. It became clear that consumers choose microwave ovens with harmonious design, as well as improved characteristics not only for defrosting or heating, but also for preparing a variety of dishes.

The LG microwave oven is a reliable assistant for people who save their time. The company is famous for its innovative technologies: no matter what it produces - tablets or microwave ovens, its products are always on top. In this article we will look at popular models, their features, pros and cons. Let's figure out how Korean stoves manage to cook dishes no worse than an experienced housewife.

About company

The South Korean brand belongs to the LG Electronics group - one of the world leaders in production household appliances, electronics. The company covers the whole world with its enterprises. In total, it employs 90 thousand people. Elgie products traditionally inspire confidence and delight with innovations, stylish design, reasonable price.

Why is there a microwave in the kitchen?

Any LG model takes up little space, especially if it is a built-in version. It takes much less time to prepare food, and electricity consumption is reduced by 50%.

There are no odors floating around the house, the kitchen does not heat up, as usually happens when the stoves and ovens are turned on.
Microwave oven products are richer in vitamins. When cooking on the stove, you lose 60% of vitamin C, in the microwave - 25%, no more.
Can be cooked without water or oil. It turns out to be dietary food.
When defrosting, cellular structures and beneficial substances are not destroyed.
Food is allowed to be heated directly in the container - even in the one that will be served on the table.

How to choose the right solo

You need to decide what is a priority: cooking or heating. Then decide what is more suitable: a built-in or free-standing oven. Do right choice Expert advice will help:

To heat small portions, you should not take a bulky modification - 15-20 liters will be enough. It's rare to see a solo over 23 hp.
The speed of the processes is determined by the power of the microwaves. For solo, its maximum value is 0.8-0.9 kW. Enough to heat, defrost, cook.
Mechanical control is simpler than electronic control. Versions with EU are more expensive.
The best camera coating is stainless steel. Heat-resistant enamel is not suitable for ultra-high temperatures.

Summarizing the above, we can describe the ideal solo oven:

up to 0.9 kW;
capacity - 17-20 l;
stainless steel coating;
mechanical type of control - buttons.

Review of the best solo models

Microwaves are often purchased to quickly heat or defrost food. All other functions are most often of no interest.

What is the difference between an inverter oven and a conventional oven?

The operating principle of microwave ovens is the electromagnetic effect on the molecules of the product placed in the chamber. Particles set in motion cause heat. The main element is a magnetron, which generates rays entering the camera through a waveguide. Powered by a transformer.

In inverter versions there is a special device, thanks to which the magnetron power is regulated without a transformer - an inverter. The dimensions of such a microwave are smaller than a regular one, and there are also differences in the operating process.

Pros of inverter stoves:

Products are heated evenly: you can control the power and gradually reduce it towards the end of cooking. The processes take place without splashes or boils, and the cell structure does not collapse. Food does not lose vitamins or its benefits.
More features. When preparing a dish, you can give it special properties: for example, bake meat with an appetizing crust.
Food defrosts twice as fast. The magnetron works either stronger or weaker, defrosting becomes gentle.
There is no rotating plate - there are no restrictions on the size and shape of containers.

How to choose an inverter microwave oven

Consider the frequency of use - for irregular heating, a 600 W solo is enough. For models equipped with many functions, the power can reach 1.5 kW.

The minimum capacity of the chamber is 14 liters. This is enough for one or two people with modest needs. Large families are better off taking options from 23 liters, with child locking.

The best internal coating is a bioceramic layer. It is easy to clean, no carbon deposits settle on it, it is durable, and is not afraid of extreme temperatures.

What is an inverter microwave oven, how is it different from a regular one? Is it worth overpaying for the benefits promised by consultants? To get to the bottom of the truth, let's understand their structure and find out how a microwave oven with an inverter differs from a simple microwave oven.

Manufacturers claim that such models are much better. Is it true that food cooked in them turns out tastier, more beautiful and preserves more useful substances?

Why do you need an inverter?

Even those who do not know physics well understand that in a microwave, food becomes hot and edible under the influence of ultra-high frequencies - microwaves. Molecules set in motion by an electromagnetic field release thermal energy. Since the waves are able to penetrate objects through and through, the food in the chamber is evenly heated, not only on the surface, but also inside.

Where do the waves come from in a microwave oven? They are emitted by the magnetron - the “heart” of the device, its main part. In conventional furnaces, the magnetron is powered through a transformer, in these furnaces - from an inverter. This is the control unit and converter direct current into variable. It is in this block that the difference between conventional and inverter systems lies.

Since the inverting element is much smaller than the transformer, there is an advantageous difference in size and weight.

Operating principle of inverter microwave ovens

The magnetron, generating microwaves, gradually reduces the radiation power. The effect on the molecules becomes softer - this prevents them from overheating.

In conventional stoves, the magnetron does not reduce power, but only shortens the intervals of wave impacts and increases the pauses between them. This is more “traumatic” for the molecules, moisture is lost - the product dries out. In an inverter, due to a gradual decrease in radiation, it is possible to preserve the structure of the molecules. What is the practical interest in this for the consumer? Products retain their shape better, they are more attractive on the outside and healthier on the inside.

The essence of technology

An innovative method of cooking food is proposed - Inverter Combination Cooking. This technique eliminates the disadvantages characteristic of traditional devices. Microwave ovens cook quickly, but only inverter control makes it possible to brown food. By combining a grill or other functions with an inversion system, you can quickly heat and cook food that is healthy and looks appetizing.

Accelerated defrosting

Consumers looking at microwave ovens with an inverting element are wondering what Turbo defrosting means. This is a technology that uses the principle of sequentially varying power. Thanks to Turbo mode, food defrosts twice as fast. The “chaos theory” is used, in which it is possible to distribute the energy of microwaves, the best way alternating the principles of regularity and irregularity.

External differences

If you compare the external data, a device with adjustable power is no different from a regular one, except that it weighs less. All the differences lie in the principle of operation of the device. Thanks to the absence of a bulky transformer, the developers were able to reduce weight and increase the volume of the camera while maintaining external dimensions.

Electricity consumption

A huge advantage of the system is the economical consumption of electricity. The magnetron, which turns on only once per cycle, gradually reduces power, consuming 28% less energy. If standby mode is turned on, savings reach 72%.

Advantages and disadvantages

Like any technology, a microwave oven with an inverting element has its pros and cons. Advantages:

Compact: spacious chamber, light weight.
Uniform heating. The control system allows you to smoothly reduce the impact during the cooking process.
Large set of functions. Dishes are prepared quickly and at the same time remain healthy. By combining microwaves with a grill, you can cook food with a crispy crust - just like in the oven. Microwave radiation can also be combined with steam and other options.
Fast defrosting. A number of models have this function and defrost food twice as quickly. Since the intensity of the magnetron changes, defrosting occurs in a soft mode - beneficial substances are not destroyed, freshness is better preserved.
No turntable. The absence of a plate gives more opportunities for placing the container; one thing is important - that it fits in the chamber.

Experts and users find only one drawback with the stoves in question - the price. They are more expensive than regular microwaves. There are also a limited number of modifications.

How much healthier is food from an inverter microwave oven?

The question of the healthfulness of microwave meals has always worried consumers. How true are the claims about the benefits of food cooked in a new type of oven? Any processing negatively affects the usefulness of the products. It is clear that due to the traumatic effects of electromagnetic waves, food loses its original concentration of nutrients - vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are destroyed.

After repeated experiments and research, experts were able to state that stoves with inverter principle actions allow you to preserve the content of vitamins and minerals by about 30% more than conventional microwaves.

How to choose

The selection criteria are practically no different from the factors taken into account when purchasing a traditional inverter-free model. Need to evaluate:

dimensions;
power;
capacity;
control;
functional;
price.

You also need to consider the expected intensity of use. To heat ready-made dishes, 0.6 kW is enough - you can buy a solo stove. WITH additional functions power reaches 1.5 kW.

Chamber capacity - 14-20 liters. Large volume is recommended for families of 4-5 people. Capacious microwaves are also useful for partygoers who cook for guests.

When choosing a suitable modification, you also need to pay attention to:

Control. Typically, models with a large range of options use touch or electronic variant- configure faster, more accurately and more efficiently.
Protection. If there are kids in the family, take a model with a child lock feature.
Grill. Its functions can be performed by heating elements or quartz lamp. In the latter case, the dishes seemed to be cooked over a fire. Some models have a vertical or double grill.
Internal coating. Most the best option- ceramics or bioceramics. This is an easy to clean material that does not form carbon deposits. Has high resistance to heat and mechanical stress.

Who is the manufacturer

The most famous manufacturer of the microwave ovens reviewed is Panasonic.

Panasonic NN-DS596

The described technology is used in the NN-DS596 model, which supports combined mode. Chamber volume - 27 l. Without turntable. There is a powerful steam generator and an upper grill.

Panasonic NN-CD565B

A compact model with a power of 1 kW, not inferior in functionality to full-size versions. Dimensions are reduced due to the special placement of the fan. There is a quartz grill.

Panasonic NN-SD 366 M

Silver-colored stove with a capacity of 22 liters and a power of 0.8 kW. Electronic control. Rotating tray with a diameter of 24.5 cm. Dimensions: 28x48x36 cm.

What Siemens offers

Panasonic is not the only manufacturer of these microwaves; Siemens also produces them. Among the models from this manufacturer, it is worth noting the HF 25M2L2.

Its capacity is 21 liters. The chamber coating is stainless steel. There is defrosting and auto-cooking. Push-button control.

Microwave from Whirlpool

The large AMW 848 IX microwave has the most capacious chamber ever: 40 liters. A whole Christmas goose will fit here. The oven has all the functions that a housewife dreams of - grill and convection. Suitable for roasting meat and preparing baked goods. Touch control. There is defrosting and auto-cooking.

Although inverter stoves are produced by a limited number of manufacturers, buyers have plenty to choose from. This technique will be a reliable help in culinary delights.

Here is the stylish and innovative LG MS2595GIS microwave oven. We will consider its main features, advantages and disadvantages, and give full instructions In terms of operation, it is comparable to other Solo models from LG and to old microwave ovens of the same brand.

REVIEW

The LG MS-2595GIS microwave oven is one of a whole line of new microwave ovens equipped with an inverter magnetron. If we ignore the design details and the presence or absence of a rotary control knob, then the set of functions and control of these devices are unified. So everything said below is quite applicable to other new microwave ovens in this series, namely:

LG MW23R35GIH, LG MW-25R95CIS, LG MW-25W35GIS, LG MW-23D35GIH, LG MW-25R35GIH, LG MW23-R35GIB, LG MW-25W95DIH, LG MW-25W35GIH, LG MW-25R35GISW, LG MW-2 5R95GIR, LG MW -25R35GIS, LG MW-25R95FIS, LG MS-2336GIH, LG MS-23M38GIB, LG MS-23M38GIH, LG MS-2336GIB, LG MS-2595FISW, LG MS-2595DIS, LG MS-2595GIS, LG MS-2595GIH, LG MS -2595CIS, LG MS-2535GIS, LG MS-2042DARB
Note: MS2595FISW/MW25R95FIS have a modified control panel.

If your model is on this list, continue to get acquainted - it may differ from the LG MS2595GIS in camera volume (23 l or 25 l), door design, color, but everything else is the same. All these are microwave ovens without grill and convection - Solo according to LG classification.

The name Smart Invertor itself should tell us that this is a smart inverter. Indeed, the application inverter circuit regulation significantly expands the possibilities of using the furnace. And now functions such as maintaining heat and making yogurt are possible. The main difference of this scheme is the ability to flexibly change the radiation power. In classic microwaves, the real power of the magnetron did not change, but the energy changed due to periodic switching on and off of the magnetron.

LG MS2595GIS has a solid glass door tempered glass, the control panel is located separately on the oven body. The chamber has a special EasyClean antibacterial coating, which prevents burning and is easy to clean.

The turntable is enlarged compared to older models and covers almost completely bottom part stove, which I really liked. A scheme of six roller bearings is used, which allows you to increase the load.

LG MS2595GIS control is completely touchscreen.

It is possible to remotely diagnose faults. To do this, just bring the phone's microphone to a special point on the front panel. It's a pity, but the functions smart home- control from a smartphone has not yet been implemented.

CONTROL

GENERAL VIEW OF THE CONTROL PANEL

SETTING THE CLOCK

When you connect the oven for the first time, or when power returns after a temporary disconnection, the display resets to “12 H” and the clock must be reset.

IMPORTANT:
To reset the clock or change the time, you must unplug and plug in the power cord.
If you do not wish to use the clock mode, press the Stop/Reset button after connecting the oven.

1. Press START/ENTER to confirm the 12 hour clock display. (Pressing on + can change to 24 hour mode.
2. Press “+” until the display shows the current hour.
3. Press START/ENTER.
4. Press “+” until the display shows minutes.
5. Press START/ENTER.

COOKING BY TIME WITH POWER SETTING

We use this mode very often when we need, for example, to boil water or heat up a slightly cooled dish. We simply place the plate in the microwave, select the power level and set the cooking time. As a rule, we don’t know exactly how hot our dish will be, since it depends on the weight of the food and the type of food, so we determine readiness “by eye.”

To enable the mode, use the MODE button. The same button is used to set the magnetron power level. The general sequence of actions is as follows:

1. Press the STOP/RESET button.
2. Press the MODE button several times (on the display you will see 1000W, 800W, 600W, 400W, 200W, respectively).
3. By pressing the "+" button, set the required operating time.
4. Press the START/ENTER button.

When cooking is complete, an alarm will sound and the word "End" will appear on the display. "End" will be shown on the display and an alarm will sound every minute until the door is opened or a button is pressed.

In order for cooking to proceed in the best possible way, it is better to take into account the manufacturer’s recommendations for choosing the power level depending on the type of food. If you already have experience working with a microwave oven, then I think you already have your preferences and here the use of any microwave oven will be the same.

POWER Level	Usage
High 1000 W	Boiling water . Browning the ground beef. . Preparation of confectionery products Cooking poultry, fish and vegetables . Cooking tender cuts of meat.
800W	. Reheat rice, pasta and vegetables. . Quick reheating of cooked food food. . Reheating sandwiches.
600W	. Cooking with eggs, milk and cheese. . Making cakes and bread. . Liquid chocolate. . Cooking veal. . Cooking whole fish. . Making puddings and custards cream.
400W	. Defrosting meat, poultry and seafood. . Cooking less tender cuts meat. . Preparing Pork Chops and roast.
200W	. Warming up the fruit. . Softening the oil. . Preserving casseroles and main dishes warm. . Softening butter and cream cheese.

IMPORTANT:
If you do not select a power level, the oven will default to HIGH power.

PROGRAMS

Basic information about the programs is given on the nameplate, which is located behind the microwave door (pictured).
To select the appropriate program, you first press the STOP/CLEAR button, then the button that determines the desired function: DEFROST, COOK or YOGURT/TEMPERATURE. On the display you can see an indication of the button pressed. Note that the indication in the microwave is not very obvious, so the information on the nameplate will be very useful to you.

At the second stage, to which we proceed by pressing START/ENTER, we set the type of product or dish to be prepared (see information tables or information on the nameplate) by pressing the “+” key. Confirm the selection of the program by pressing START/ENTER again.

On last step To program the microwave, you need to select the weight of the product. This is done by clicking on "+". Cooking is started using the START/ENTER button.

DISCUSSION

What else does a peasant need?

Microwave oven LG MS2595GIS from the LG NeoChef c family Smart technology Inverter. With 1000 watts of power and precision magnetron control, food is defrosted, reheated and cooked more efficiently. The dishes delight us with variety. Let's not forget about the 10-year warranty on magnetron parts. By purchasing such a microwave, you can be sure that you have a friend at home with great design, which is equipped with the most advanced technology.

Of course, it’s a pity that you didn’t spend money on an oven with grill and convection, because then there would be a lot more possibilities, but even so, thanks to new technologies, the oven has a large number of functions and programs and remembering all the control options is not so easy. However, I am glad of this - you will look at our instructions more than once.

Operating the microwave is pleasant thanks to a high-quality touch control panel. But with so many programs, I would still like to have a tact switch. And the display of modes leaves much to be desired. Compared to the developed display systems in multicookers, the digital display system seems difficult to use. It’s good that at least the basic information is on the stove body. I am sure that such a technological device is worthy of a more informative display and, perhaps, LG will soon offer us this. It is possible that control systems from a smartphone will simplify the control of such furnaces in the near future.

In the photo you see my old, but kitchen battle-tested microwave, also from LG. It still works without any problems. Previously, each button had an inscription. It may not be as aesthetically pleasing as the current pictograms, but it made the stove much easier to learn and use. However, I'm nitpicking. Remembering the 4 main buttons is quite easy. But my old lady, MH-596G, couldn’t make yogurt. And I love him so much.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

Advantages:

Inverter magnetron Smart Inverter
A large number of programs
Security: special key lock
Increased internal volume
Touch control
