  • User Guide

Q: I came here to review this item, but don't see a way to do it. How can I review this item?

A: I asked this question, and there's suddenly a review item tab at the bottom of the reviews.

Q: How long is the power cord?

A: About 2 feet, but that's just eyeballing it.

Q: Will this microwave be able to be plugged into a regular outlet

A: As long as it is a three pronged outlet. In my house, I can't run mine at the same time as certain other items that are on the same circuit, if that's what you are asking.

Q: Is this model loud?

A: Not at all. It's VERY quiet. In fact, that's actually one of the problems I have with it, because I can't hear if it's running unless I'm all the way in my kitchen ( and my house and kitchen are not huge).

Q: Can a 9x13 pan fully turn on the turntable?

A: Yes. The flat, inside part of the glass plate is 15 3/4" in diameter. There is no extra room on the sides, so anything that fits, will turn.

Q: So many microwave meals call for 50% heating level for one phase of the process. Our current microwave does not have this option. Does this model have that capability?

A: Yes. You have to press "Time Cook" to put in the amount of time it has to cook; then you press "Power"; Then you press a number from 1-9; then hit "Start". So if it says microwave for 9 minutes at 100%, then 10 minutes at 50 %, you press Time Cook,9, Start. When that finishes, you press Time Cook, 10, POWER 5, Start. (The 100% is the microwaves go-to, unless you set a certain power)

Q: Can the child lock door be unlocked?

A: It's not automatically on. You have to set it.

Q: Does it have a backlit display ?

A: No. It looks exactly like the picture.

    Perfect Gift

    We gave this microwave as a gift. The value for the money spent exceeds itself when you know the recipients. How grateful they were. And not only that, the review rating was exceptional. It’s not one of those huge national brands that inflate their prices just bc of whose name is in the box. The photo is with it in their church kitchen. I love it and God is good!

    Big but Quiet - Works Great!

    I moved into a new home about 5 months ago and have been w/o a microwave ever since, so when I saw this new Insignia model, I knew I had to finally get one. The new Insignia 2.2 Cu. Ft. microwave arrived in a very large box, but surprisingly, it was light and easy to move around. Getting it set up was super simple, just remove a few stickers, plug it in, and you're good to go. This thing is pretty big and it takes up a good chunk of counter space, so I highly encourage anyone considering it to double-check the dimensions and measure their space carefully before buying. I made sure to do that ahead of time, and it fits perfectly where I planned. Just remember, like most microwaves, you’ll need to leave space on the sides, top, and back for proper ventilation. If one side is 3 inches away from a refrigerator or a wall, that’s fine, as long as the other side is open with room to breathe. I like that the front legs have a rubberized grip that helps keep the unit from sliding when you open and close the door, but it’s not enough. It still slides just a bit, and I can’t help but wonder why they didn’t put the same rubber feet on the back legs too. The front legs also spin around, so it would’ve made sense for them to be adjustable, but they're not. My unit has a slight wobble, probably because my counter isn’t perfectly level, and with something this large, even the smallest slope can cause that. Adjustable front legs would’ve solved that easily. As far as the controls go, everything is pretty standard. The layout is intuitive, and most of the functions make sense. I’d suggest keeping the instruction manual handy for the first few weeks, either in a drawer nearby or stuck to the fridge, because there are quite a few auto-cook and power settings that aren’t immediately obvious. There is a quick menu sticker, at the top, when you open the door, but you will need to become familiar with it. You’ll probably end up memorizing the ones you use most, but it’s helpful to have that quick reference early on. Which makes me think it’s about time to upgrade microwave displays and control panels. It’s been basically the same thing for as long as I can remember and I’ve always struggled with trying to determine how to use some of the programmed menu buttons w/o having the manual around. The timer works great, and I find myself using it all the time. I also really like that there’s an option to turn off the clock display when it’s not in use. With so many appliances already glowing numbers at me all day, I appreciate the option to tone it down a bit. Inside, this microwave is extremely spacious. The large glass turntable has no problem handling oversized plates, casserole dishes, or even multiple smaller dishes at once. It’s probably more room than I personally need, but it’s great for families or anyone who cooks in batches. In terms of performance, it works really well. I’ve used it for a variety of everyday things like melting chocolate and butter, heating leftovers, making popcorn, and cooking frozen meals. Everything came out just right using the custom preset features…. except for the popcorn. That’s the one thing I’d be cautious about. I used the built-in popcorn preset and ended up with a burnt bag. After checking a few other popcorn brands, I noticed that many of them actually say not to use the popcorn button at all. So, honestly, I don’t know why manufacturers still include that setting, yet another reason to update the control panel. It’s probably better to just manually enter a time recommended on the bag, and stop it as soon as the popping slows down. Something I noticed is that the microwave is really quiet compared to the last one I had. You can barely hear it running, even at full power, which is kind of rare for a 1200W unit. The sensor cooking and inverter technology really do seem to help with even heating and defrosting, especially compared to older microwaves that just blast food in bursts. There are a few things to note that aren’t necessarily deal-breakers, but worth mentioning. The cord is on the shorter side, so placement near an outlet is important. Also, the door handle has a built-in release that might throw you off at first, it’s not a push button or standard pull, it’s like a trigger button at the top of the handle that you press as you pull the door open, but you get used to it quickly. Overall, I’m really pleased with this microwave. The power, the size, the quiet operation, and the consistent results all make it a strong buy. If you're looking for a large, family-sized microwave that feels solid and gets the job done without being overly complicated, I’d highly recommend this one. It looks good, works well, and should last for many years.
