Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love new microwave, it’s sizable, works excellent, space saver, operates very well. Would recommend for purchase.

Great microwave very happy with it and was a very affordable

The best microwave ever, I love it it’s make my life easy

Does an excellent job at heating up your food at ease with fast heating power. The button on the door handle is a neat touch as well, as an extra measure.

Great for my small apartment I've had it almost a month and use it for quick meals for lunch breaks. Seems to cook more evenly than others I've used. Price makes it worth it as well

My microwave is great, heats up fast and work well. Would recommend anyone needing a microwave to purchase this one you won’t be disappointed!

What can I say, old microwave broke, ordered new one from Best Buy, got delivered the next day, everything works great it's even 1000 Watts that's better than what I had.

Our new Insignia microwave was a repeat purchase. New one has upgrades I like. Numbers are bigger, when cooking is done it only dings once not 3 times, the opening handle is a better way.

My wife and I were initially skeptical in buying this as we are not familiar with the brand surprisingly, the microwave serves it's purpose. We love it!!

I like it the microwave just what I need keep on doing what you’re doing best pleasing the people that’s what it’s all about making sure the customers is happy

Excellent choice for a portable microwave for the kitchen.

Excellent service by employee, helpful especially since I had an issue getying my online order on the app

We have had this microwave for a while now and its been working great. We use it everyday. It heats evenly and well.

Decent microwave, just a bit overpriced though. This is how the bottom looks, it DOESNT have that circle thing , so dont be confused when you see it. It works fine though .

It’s an awesome microwave oven to use. And the looks is very nice

Good value for money. Great purchase and offer by best buy.

Very poor quality. The microwave stopped working after only six months of use. I am very disappointed with this product.

Worked fine for a few months and then suddenly stopped working altogether. Cord seems loose where it connects to the back.

Perfect size and very powerful. Lots of useful and convenient functions. Doesn't make much noise either. Looks sleek and does the job. Also love that it has a energy saving button that turns off the clock/electronics so it doesn't soak up extra electricity when not in use. It's also the perfect size as it fits a standard dinner plate with some extra space left to spare. The only note for the manufacturer is that they need to update the User Guide as when it lists the parts that are included, it lists the ring but it seems like for the newer models, there is no need for the oval ring. I was going crazy looking for it until it dawned on me that it doesn't need an oval ring for the turntable. Highly recommend!

Don’t let the slightly smaller footprint of this countertop microwave fool you because this isn’t one of those gas-station mini-clunkers that takes 9 minutes to heat a burrito. In fact, I was incredibly impressed by how powerful and surprisingly feature-laden this unit turned out to be, and the price you’re going to be paying for a Best Buy house-brand kitchen appliance is downright starving-student friendly. First off, the microwave clocks in at a full 1000 watts of cooking power—that matches the 3-times-pricier over-the-range microwave we have in our kitchen. And while 1.1 cubic feet might not sound…or look…like a lot of space, its interior is still big enough (about 12.5” x 12.5” x 8.5”) for all but the tallest and heaviest 4-course dinner plates and serving platters. Fortunately, Insignia did not scrimp on the glass turntable by mounting little more than a rotating coaster in the center as I’ve seen on some other small form-factor microwaves. Here, the diameter of the glass turntable runs almost completely to the interior edges of the microwave’s cooking area, so you have a lot of room to maneuver more than one item for simultaneous heating/cooking. But what was more surprising was just how many user-friendly features showed up on the microwave’s control panel. You’ve got the essentially mandatory +30 second quick-start button (who likes to press more than one button for their food/beverage, right?) and a 0-9 number pad with one-button express settings to cook at 100% power for 1-6 minutes (again, dramatically cutting down on that pesky button-pressing). Beyond that are some additional smart features that offer more advanced cooking options for those of you who dare explore anything beyond a quick one-button cooking time with +30 second additions. For example, there are auto-menu buttons for cooking times and temperatures for six relatively popular microwaveables: popcorn, potatoes, pizza, frozen veggies, beverages, and dinner plates. However, each of those menu buttons also gives you three additional volume/weight adjustments with one, two, or three presses of the auto-menu button (i.e., 1, 2, or 3 cups of liquid; 4, 8, or 16 ounces of vegetables, etc.). Sure, maybe the settings don’t EXACTLY line up with how much coffee is in your mug or how many slices of pizza need reheating, but the added flexibility is definitely appreciated if you tend to cook/heat dramatically different sized portions. And if you forget what button press matches what measurement/volume, there is a handy portion guide behind the door for quick reference so you can comfortably throw your instruction manual away and not worry about forgetting what the various auto-menu settings meant. Additional buttons let you adjust your own cooking power levels from 100% all the way down to 0% in 10% increments—though why anyone would want to run their microwave at 0% rather than just use the timer without cooking anything at all is beyond me. Speaking of the timer, there is a dedicated button for setting a timer that can be run separately from any cooking program, as well as a separate “Time Cook” button that lets you set your own cooking duration based on the power level you select. The clock also mercifully gets its own button for settings as well–it’s all pretty intuitive. There are also two different defrost options for thawing frozen food. You can defrost by time using the aptly named “Time Defrost” button—and while the default power level for time defrosting is 30%, you can even raise or lower that power level if you wish. Or you can use the “Weight Defrost” button that gives you an automated defrosting program for anything from 4-100 ounces without needing to specify a cooking time. There are even settings to let you turn off the admittedly bright LCD clock display or silence the end-of-program beep. And to cap things off, there are three user-assignable memory slots to store a custom cooking/heating program in case you routinely microwave something requiring a combination of power levels and cooking time that isn’t part of the pre-programmed settings. With all that capability under the hood, how does this unassuming little microwave actually perform? Frankly, it did a consistently GREAT job not scorching my popcorn and producing especially tasty lunchtime leftovers, including two days straight of deliciously and evenly reheated meatball and sausage baked ziti that was easily 3-4 inches deep...all without needing to be sectioned or cut into smaller pieces for even portion temperatures! The only gotcha I would caution you about is the somewhat unconventional door open/release mechanism. Instead of a more traditional push-button release, or simply a handle to grasp for opening and closing the door at will, there is a small trigger inside the top of the door handle that has to be pulled upwards in order to release the latch and open the door. The microwave ships with an informational sticker on the door cluing the user in to this departure from the norm, but leaving it on the glass made it look enough like one of those gas station clunkers I mentioned earlier that I couldn't stomach leaving it attached to the glass. I suppose such a design is useful to keep younger kids (or accident-prone adults) from quickly reaching in and absentmindedly grabbing a hot dish--but at least for the first week or two, I was instinctively just grabbing at the door handle and ended up pulling the entire microwave towards me, at one point nearly yanking it off the top of my mini-fridge. I’ll get used to it eventually I’m sure, but it’s a different enough mechanism that I doubt I will be the only one having to remind myself not to blindly tug at the door to get it open. That one design quirk aside, Insignia packed a heck of a lot of capability into a modestly sized counter-top microwave that will only make a small dent in your pocketbook relative to other manufacturers’ offerings with similar capabilities. Time will tell if the Insignia lasts at least as long as, if not longer than, other name-brand microwaves around this price-point, but it’s certainly off to a strong start–definitely recommended.
