LG MH6336GIB Review, Prices & Score
Compare current retailer offers alongside a detailed BestBuysUK product review and Score.
🏆 Review & price summary
The LG MH6336GIB microwave is a well-equipped freestanding worktop model for reheating, cooking and grilling. Its 1,000W microwave output, Smart Inverter control, 900W grill, EasyClean coating and automatic programmes give it a useful feature set for everyday cooking, while the touch controls, child lock and add-30-seconds function make routine use straightforward. Its main limitations are the absence of convection baking, sensor cooking, staged cooking and turntable control, so it is better suited to everyday microwave and grill duties than to replacing a conventional oven.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Smart Inverter technology for more controlled power delivery
- ✓ 900W grill adds browning and crisping capability
- ✓ EasyClean interior coating helps simplify wiping down
- ✓ Touch controls, LED cavity lighting, child lock and add-30-seconds function
- ✓ Automatic cooking programmes and supplied high rack broaden its practical use
Worth considering
- No sensor cooking or sensor reheating, meaning automatic operation relies on preset programmes rather than measuring food moisture
- No separate kitchen-timer function and no turntable on/off control
- The 23-litre cavity and 292mm turntable are less accommodating for oversized dishes than larger-capacity or flatbed alternatives

Cooking performance
The LG MH6336GIB microwave combines a 1,000W microwave output with a 900W grill, giving it enough power for fast reheating, cooking and browning. Its Smart Inverter system is designed to provide more consistent power control than simple on/off pulsing, which should help with delicate defrosting and more even heating.
There are five microwave power levels, automatic cooking programmes and a 292mm glass turntable. The grill adds useful versatility for finishing foods, but this is still a grill microwave rather than a full combination oven.
Everyday usability
The touch control panel and LED display keep the controls relatively simple, with useful add-30-seconds, time-setting, completion-beeper and child-lock functions. The bright LED cavity light should also make it easier to check food during cooking.
LG’s EasyClean antibacterial coating is intended to make wiping away splashes easier. A glass tray, high rack, rotate ring and rotate shaft are included, so the main cooking accessories are supplied with the appliance.
Size and installation
This is a freestanding worktop model rather than a built-in microwave. Its external dimensions are 476mm wide, 272mm high and 387mm deep, while the 23-litre cavity provides a practical middle ground for everyday dishes without taking up the space of a larger family-size appliance.
The 292mm turntable suits standard plates and bowls, although the round cooking area is less accommodating for large rectangular dishes than a flatbed design.
Efficiency and limitations
No UK or EU energy label is published for this microwave, so its efficiency cannot be compared using the usual A–G scale. LG lists 1,000W microwave output against 1,150W microwave power consumption; actual electricity use will depend on cooking time, programme and how often the 900W grill is used.
The main trade-off is versatility. There is no convection-bake function, sensor cooking or sensor reheating, staged cooking, turntable on/off control or separate kitchen-timer function. Buyers needing oven-style baking or more advanced automation should look at a combination model instead.
