Customer Ratings & Reviews

It’s the perfect size. I wanted something on the smaller side but with 1100 watts. It is weird that you have to lift a trigger on the handle to open the door but after a while you don’t notice it. Like other have mentioned the clock is a tad bit on the brighter side and when the microwave is rotating it has a weird drag like it lags for a second and then load and goes faster for another second to catch up. I included an image of what it looks like in the dark and another for reference of how bit the heating plate is.

I bought this microwave last month after my over‑the‑stove unit died on me, and honestly, it turned out to be the best choice ever. The price was perfect, and it’s been a total game‑changer! Heats evenly, runs quietly, and looks sleek in my kitchen. The digital display is clear, and the preset buttons actually make sense (no guessing games). I’ve reheated everything from leftovers to coffee without a single cold spot. For the price, this thing performs like a champ — definitely worth it!

Overall this microwave was what I was looking for. I bought it specifically because the one in my apt is too high for me to safely remove hot items (ok, I'm short). It works well, the size is perfect for me, and doesn't take a lot of space. Out of habit I do have my favorite features that I use all the time, others I don't use, but should be fine for those who do. The handle release was different, but very easy to get used to. The only item that could go back to the "drawing board" for improvement, which others have commented on, is the clock display. The digital clock displays on my other kitchen appliances have a softer yellow greenish cast. This microwave clock display is kind of an "in your face" bright white light display, especially obvious when the room is dark. Since it wasn't a dealbreaker for me and there are others clock displays in my kitchen, I easily resolve this at night by the use of a dark colored sticky note.

[Employee of bestbuy] Works great I Like the 1 beep option when my food is done its quieter than my last microwave and the handle makes it quieter to open and close

Bought this product to replace a failing unit. It took some getting used to the triggered opening. But all other features work great.

Silent button is the best feature! If anyone else has sleeping babies or just a house that is constantly running on different shifts, the silent button mean no one is woken up! It heats good evenly and pops all the popcorn in the bag without burning a single cornal. Larger compacity. Easy to clean. Quiet all around. Fits perfect on the cooking cart with toaster and conventional oven and air fryer!

Has all the features I need and for a great price! It’s very quiet and would highly recommend it!

I like it and it doesn't make much noise . I've only got it using 20 days ago.

Insignia™ - 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave This was the perfect purchase. It’s a workhorse and hasn’t disappointed us. It is a back up for us and we will keep.

Nice microwave and hope it last longer than the other insignia we had. This one is little, bigger. Seems to be better. Newer model it looks like too. We are a microwave people at where I live. Do not like to spend a lot of time in kitchen cooking. So, we like it quick and go to eat in rest of the apartment. So, it does what we expect. Just wish microwaves last longer because it seems they do not last more than 2 years. Always, just over a year only. We will see on this one.

I bought this microwave because my big one decided to stop on me and I needed a microwave. Once you get used to having it you can’t get along without it. This one is for the price I paid. You can’t beat it. Works good every time does the job.

This replaces the previous Insignia 1.1 cu. ft. model, which lasted about 2 years, a good amount of time for a contemporary microwave oven given my heavy use, and better than other brands I've tried. The door has been improved; it now has a handle with a latch, which looks to be much more reliable than the previous button below the control panel, a point of failure, and easier to use. This microwave works well.

Great product, fully recommended Space saver child friendly

I literally read hundreds of reviews for microwaves before selecting this one. I didn't want an onerous child lock or annoying beeps. (One beep is fine.) I wanted one that was compact but could hold a good sized dinner plate. This one checked all those boxes. A plus for me was it came in black since I'm tired of stainless, and it has a white interior that seems easy to keep clean. BTW, the lift up button on the handle is no big deal, and I like the external handle instead of a wobbly button to push. This one's a winner iny book!

Great microwave. It heats very quickly and has simple to use controls. I have had mine for 7 months and I liked it so much I am ordering a second one for my girlfriend's house because she's a big fan of the single button functions such as entering "1" or "2" means one minute or two minutes on high, just hit "1" and it starts heating. I don't love the opening process with the button in the top and inside of the handle, but once I was used to it that was not a big deal.

It was exactly what we were looking for at a great price. We got two, one for us and one for for my parents. We are all very happy with the microwave.

Works well, does what’s needed, pretty straight forward design. Only question is why they felt the need for the trigger release on the door handle. Otherwise was a good buy for the money!

This microwave has warmed up my food to perfection

I like ease of operation. The way the door opens or that trigger handle is not my preferred method but it might last longer than the push button. It was a great price. it's a beautiful product.

Great value option with the same power as the larger models. It's a little smaller than what my families used to but the simple door latch operation and controls make it all worth it.
