Hi Peter The LG model is discontinued now. I've had our Cobolt microwave for 12 years now, and he's still going strong: "Door open," "Door closed," and all that jazz. (smile) Because I've used it for that long now, I couldn't imagine having a commercial device. I hope others can offer you some useful feedback.

I need to replace an old model which had tactile controls. I have read the details of the two sold by Cobalt and performed a search with Google. That threw up some results in the States which I am not interested in. However there is one sold by Amazon - the Hamleton Beach Delux (model 87106) for $139.95. Rather cheaper than Cobalts model. I did not find the Lg available anywhere. Does anybody have any suggestions or recommendations please? Peter Bentley
