    Microwave didn’t heat, just turned on

    We purchased this and plugged it in after taking it out of the box brand new. Plugged it in, display came on, turntable worked. A day later when my daughter used it for the first time, it appeared to work, but did not warm anything after being on for 1 1/2 minutes. She tried again after ensuring that it did not default to the lowest power setting. She put her item in for 6 minutes and it was as liquid and cold as it was when she first put it into the microwave. So, needless to say, it will be returned. Assuming it is some random manufacturer’s defect. I wouldn’t necessarily hold it against it.

    Bought a used one here at Best Buy. Made a huge noise while on. Did not warm up the food at all. Cannot return because I threw away the box, as I assumed it would be working.

    Needed a microwave bought this one. It's awful. Super small and barely has any power. Everything needs to be heated twice as long and popcorn barely pops. Shouldn't have tried to be frugal and gotten a microwave that works.

    I’m a tad shocked, irritated and definitely disappointed. I just bought this in October 2020 and today it ceased to heat up anything. I didn’t even use it daily. I didn’t buy the warranty and though I’m out of my money ( seemed more like a rental than a purchase now), I’m actually glad because now I’m hesitant to purchase another Insignia branded product.

    Set the clock. When I opened the door it blew the circuit breaker in the electrical panel. After resetting the breaker microwave would not power on at all: no clock, no nothing. Returned it. Waste of time. Never Insignia again.

    The fan has an unusual noise quite noticeable, like one of the blades is hitting something. The "it's done" beeper sounds like a backup alarm ... and doesn't stop even with the door opened until it has done it's full 4 beeps. Other than these two issues, works OK. Delivery was very fast.

    We bought this microwave literally 1 year ago and it broke already. We were heating up food abs the microwave broke. The microwave does not shut off and constantly runs. The panel were it shows the time display only shows four zeros. It’s sad that a Best Buy brand product can not last more than a year.

    0.7 is too small (small does matter)

    We made a mistake of not verifying the size we needed. But 0.7 is really small. Barely enough wiggle room to fit a normal size dinner plate. Just make sure your food doesn't overlap. LOL. That being said, it was too small. So we returned it within the 30 day return policy.
