Nice basic microwave if you never used steam sensor or other fancy features. Not too loud when running, and you can mute the beeper and button presses. A small feature upgrade would be if the beeper stopped once you open the door. It does five full beeps if you open it or not. Other brands know you open and mute the following beeps. That's a minor suggestion, though, and you can mute it completely. Only time will tell if this lasts longer than other brand it replaced, but so far the build quality and performance is excellent. It did smell like melting plastic out of the exhaust for the first couple days of use, but that is normal and went away. It's heavy enough where you can press button to open door with one hand and not have it slide backwards. Number and other buttons have nice bright high-contrast white text on the black background. Blue clock digits light up room at night, which can be handy and can be turned off if it bothers you. If you ever want to open it one day to check a fuse (not recommended without electrical precautions like at least unplugging it), you'll need a T15 security bit with the little hole in the end to fit the nub inside the screw's head. This is 1.1 cu ft and old one was 1.3, but the size difference is fine (the glass plate inside seems to be the same size as the old one, so it fits things fine even if the walls are a tiny bit closer). Goes on sale often, or use a Best Buy small appliance coupon to save a few bucks off regular price.

We live in a studio apartment, and needed a new microwave since ousr wouldn't work after years of service. Since we have limited counter space, we needed a microwave that fit above our fridge, and was still powerful, and spacious. This microwave was it. It has just enough features for us since we mostly use it for reheating leftovers. We had to order it and wait a week to get it since they didn't stock it in any Best Buy stores close to us. But, it was well worth the wait, and you cant beat the price which is what attracted us to it. Highly recommend if you want a powerful, spacious and affordable microwave for a great price! Would buy again!!

I’ve had this microwave for a little over 2 weeks and I am impressed. This microwave is 1000 watts. The one I had previously was 1100 watts. This new one is only a few inches smaller but it definitely warms my food as good as the old one! I love that you can silence it, so it doesn’t beep when you push the buttons or when the timer is up. Finally someone understood how annoying that was, especially at night. The only downside to it is that it is slightly loud when you first push start. However, after the first 2 or 3 seconds it gets a baby bit quieter. It’s tolerable and not a deal breaker. It is also aesthetically pleasing. I have had excellent experiences with the Insignia brand in the past and so far I’m happy with this purchase as well!

Bought 0.9 cu ft (900 watt) and 1.1 cu ft (1000 watt) microwaves for our 2 sons in college- initial impression is that we like them. Got the 900 watt for a dorm room- we think it will fit nicely on a fridge in the dorm. Got the 1000 watt for an off campus apartment for the counter. My kids' colleges allow microwaves up to 1000 watts. Both have interior lights, both heat up water nicely, but the 900 watt takes a tad longer to get to the same temp as the 1000 watt. 1000 watt is a little bigger (see pic). I think these are good purchases. Will post again if we run into any issues. Fair prices too.

I am absolutely HAPPY , with my Insignia™ - 1.1 Cu. Ft. Microwave. It works just as I would hope. I love that it's the same cu.ft. as my old microwave. But takes up way less space than the old one. All black looks sleek and nice in my kitchen. The quality is awesome and exactly what I would expect from Insignia. The price was also incredible for the brand and size of the microwave. It was packaged very well and arrived a lot FASTER than I anticipated. If your in the market for a Good Quality microwave, from a Trust worthy Brand. I HIGHLY Recommend this Insignia 1.1 Cu.Ft. Microwave. You won't be disappointed .
