Very Spacious
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a replacement after our previous microwave got damaged but it's an improvement. It's more spacious than our last one and even has several beeping reminders if you've got ADHD like me and forget you even microwaved something.

Easy to use and works Great!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this when my microwave suddenly died. Easy to use and works well. If your using this countertop its great because its slightly smaller than average- which is good because it doesn't take up a lot of room. Some larger items might not rotate as well but cooking an extra 30 seconds usually fixes it up well!

Worked Ok for 2 Years...Then
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Two years ago, I shopped for a replacement for the Oster microwave I purchased 6 years prior, and that I had gotten 6 years use out of before it went Blooey and died, sparking wildly in the cooking chamber. I read many reviews until I got to this Insignia, which had good reviews, not dying after 3 months. I bought the extra warranty, which covered it an additional year, making 2 years total coverage. Before two years were up, number buttons used the most started to de-laminate (see pictures). I should have taken it back to Best Buy to get it replaced, but I let time run out. 6 months later (now) my Insignia microwave has gone rogue, and suddenly comes on all by itself, running with no one having started it. I finally had to unplug it for safety's sake. I'm not paying to repair it, so time to go searching for another microwave oven. I won't be buying another Insignia. Note: My microwave before the Oster was a Samsung one that lasted great from 1986 to 2016, when products were made to last. Even the light bulb in it never burned out. If you buy this insignia, well, get the extended warranty and take your chances.

Effective microwave
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The microwave itself has enough cubic feet to warm up a large dinner plate. It has a couple of convenient preset buttons to warm up popular foods in a hurry, and simply pressing one of the numeric buttons is a quick way to choose a certain time; for example, pressing 1 will be 1 minute, etc. It has a nice stainless steel look with black accents. It looks pretty good next to my coffee maker. Overall, nice little microwave.

Perfectly matched with the mini fridge
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the table top version of the microwave that matches the mini refrigerator. They have the same look and feel which makes them a perfect product to offer as a set . There is enough internal room and cooking Watts that the performance between a standard model and this one is negligible. A good set for a small dorm.

Best Microwave for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The size is great. Noise is a lot less than my last one. The controls are really convenient for quick cooking. A button for melting or softening button to 1 lbs. button for defrosting. The front is anti smudge. It came quick. I did buy on sale, but it was worth the money. It is quiet, convenient buttons, hardly any cleaning, and looks great. I would buy again.

Awesome little microwave
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They were sold out of the LG so we purchased this Insignia. Works great and almost half the price of the LG. Would highly recommend if you don't care what name is on the front.

Perfect compact microwave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While I'm waiting for the Cuisinart cdw-200 to arrive, I purchased this as a backup and plan to keep it in the kitchen as an extra now. 900 watts is truly the best for microwave cooking of everything. This microwave is VERY quiet when running, it has all the right basic features and options (positioned in the best spots, too), and BEST OF ALL: it has a MEMORY feature, which is extremely hard to find on any microwave anymore. That feature is great for cooking bacon perfectly, among manyother things. 2 possible enhancements are: 1) Although the door opens smoothly with the push-in button, it closes with an annoying tinny sound. 2) The blue lighting of the display makes it hard to read about 6 ft. away; should be the usual green/yellow most microwaves have for better clarity. Neither of the 2 is a deal breaker considering everything else. The style is nice and sleek in stainless steel front and black casing. My preference is stainless steel interior to avoid trapped odors from tainting food, but that's why the 1.2 cubic ft. Cuisinart will be the primary microwave in my kitchen. Glad to have found this backup after searching in 6 stores and looking extensively online. Worth $89.99.

Good microwave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Over time a layer started peeling. But this product was very nice and I have bought a lot of them for my business and it only happened to a few. Might’ve been the customers who damaged it but thought I’d mention it.
