Insignia™ - .7 Cu. Ft. Compact Microwave - Black

Love the size and it's easy to operate. You notice the hum when it's heating but the good out ways the noise. Looks good heats great.

This is one of the cheapest one but very nice. Good size for small family and very quiet. Easy operation for most people.

This is a decent microwave for small spaces or light use. It’s compact and doesn’t take up much counter space, which is perfect for dorm rooms, offices, or smaller kitchens. The 0.7 cu. ft. size is enough for reheating meals or warming up drinks, but it’s not ideal for larger dishes or heavier cooking needs. The 700-watt power gets the job done, but it can take longer to heat food compared to more powerful models. The controls are straightforward and easy to use, though the lack of advanced features might not suit everyone. The black finish looks sleek and matches most decor, but the build quality feels a bit lightweight. If you’re looking for an affordable, no-frills microwave for simple tasks, this is a solid option. However, if you need something more powerful or with more capacity, you might want to consider a larger model.

For my first time ever owning and operating my own microwave oven, the white Insignia compact model is a nice choice for me personally. Having also tried my hand in cooking on a stovetop over the past month, you know it's your cue to skidoo from kitchenry when you're setting off the fire alarm and making yourself sick to your stomach. Microwaving frozen dinners, on the other hand, has 99% of the time always come out just right with the proper directions through a well-known and trusted brand. That other time... let's just say someone needed to flesh out those improper instructions. Assembling this microwave didn't take much time or effort. Doing this all on my own, it's a project that's surely easier with someone else around but not exactly necessary. You'll need to install the turntable yourself and program the clock. Other than that, everything is fairly self-explainable. Some pre-settings for dishes such as popcorn and pizza are available, but I'm sure even those items come with guidelines to follow. Apart from having to cleanup messes made within or outside the microwave from time to time, the only bad part about it is that the rotational tray set within isn't already in a fixed position. This means that it can be easy to get dragged whilst you're attempting to remove a hot bowl of soup and thus leading to drippage whilst wrestling with the machinery.

The microwave works perfect for my small home and needs. Its compact thus occupies less space. Do not expect it to be powerful, just be mindful of what capacity it states. Takes a couples of extra seconds to head but works best for someone who lives alone. Thank you Best Buy!
