    Easy to Use I’m very happy with my Insigna microwave from Best Buy. The quality is great and extremely easy to use and setup only took a few minutes. It’s a great value for the price and works perfectly for everyday use. I would definitely recommend this brand and buying from Best Buy.

    Great little microwave

    I have a small space for a microwave but I wanted something with power and this has it all. It's lightweight, a good size, and nice looking. The price was excellent -- I'm very happy with my purchase.

    Good purchase

    We really like this microwave so far. We don't have a lot of space so this is perfect. We had one that we had trouble getting a plate inside but this one has plenty of room without taking up too much counter space. The power and heat times seem really good too. It does have a button on the door handle you have to mash to open the door but it's not a real issue and might actually be a plus if you have kids as a safety precaution. Decent price for a good microwave.

Questions & Answers
  • Microwave only beeps once at the end of cooking time. Is this normal for the microwave to signal beep only once at the end of cooking with no additional reminder beeps?

    Thank you for your inquiry! Yes, it is normal for the Insignia™ .9 Cu. Ft. Compact Countertop Microwave to beep only once at the end of the cooking time. This single beep is designed to signal that the cooking cycle has completed. Unlike some other microwaves that may have multiple reminder beeps, this model typically only provides one beep.

  • Can i open the microwave door while it is cooking given you have a safety mechanism in place with the button on top of the handle?

    Hi there. It's generally not recommended to open the microwave door while it is cooking, even if there is a safety mechanism in place. The safety interlocks are designed to prevent the microwave from operating when the door is open, which helps avoid exposure to microwave energy. If you need to stop the cooking process, it's best to press the "Stop" or "Pause" button on the microwave before opening the door. This ensures that the microwave stops emitting energy before you open it. If you have any further feedback or need assistance, please feel free to reach out. Ivy Insignia Support
