Customer Ratings & Reviews

I mean it works it hums a little louder than my last and it’s smaller than I expected. However gets the job done. There is now wow factor.

Product was extremely loud. Also, the mechanism tbat turns the plate was of poor quality. The plate rubbed on the base of the microwave.

I changed my mind and took it back to get the Panasonic microwave. I didn't use it so cannot give any stars but can say it's a great price.

I bought it in store 7/18/2024 and it overheated 10/24/2024 , says time to return it expired 8/4/2024. Save you $

Purchased November 22, 2024, stopped working 6/12/2025. My old microwave lasted over 10 years so I am shocked how quickly this product died. Not sure if I got a dud but won’t be repurchasing this brand again for sure.

For me, I had an experience of electric just dying.

I am not a huge fan of this microwave. it is smaller than I am used to and it cooks too fast or too slow.

I cook and bake a good bit, and this microwave has been the key to a good deal of my success. The rotating glass tray is quite large, so it does contain spills and accommodate containers of many sizes / dimensions. A small thing, but the glass tray easily fits onto the turntable ring without fumbling to align something. A big Pro is the door handle; in order to open it, you depress the button on the inside of the handle and then pull to open. This is a huge advantage over other microwaves, where you press a button to open the door, as this usually pushes the microwave a bit towards the edge of the table it is sitting on. I like the fact that it has a kitchen timer on it, but for the time it takes to set it with multiple button presses, I can easily just ask one of my digital assistants to set the timer. Unfortunately, there are two main things that I dislike about the display and functions. The display is very bright, which I don't like at night, as it lights up most of my kitchen. The second thing is about setting the cooking time. If you press one of the Express Cook buttons 1-6, it sets that amount of minutes and begins cooking. The usual Auto Menu (popcorn, pizza, potato, etc.) is available, so the Express Cook function seems a bit redundant. I'd much prefer to set my own time from the first button depressed on the keypad, but to do that, you need to press the Time Cook button first. My 14yo and 18yo kids use the microwave to cook, and it can be a bit confusing. I'm used to just putting in the time I want, so it feels counter-intuitive. I do like the fact that during cooking, I can press the '+30 Sec' button to add 30 more seconds worth of cook time. The selection of Power levels is helpful; the '0' power level is useful, as it just runs the fan to clear the microwave chamber of smells from previously cooked items. The Weight Defrost and Time Defrost works better than I've ever seen these functions work on other units. I do prefer the Time Defrost over the Weight Defrost, but both work surprisingly well to defrost a variety of items; I tried chicken, brats, and ground beef. In all cases, the amount of overly cooked areas were minimal compared to what I expected. I did use a Pyrex bowl for defrosting, which may have helped retain some moisture in the items. I do trust Insignia microwaves due to a positive history with them. This is not a bad microwave by any stretch, but some functions seem counter-intuitive. At maximum power, this is a powerful microwave, yet has the room and flexibility for many uses.

Best buy stillnowes me a 200 dollar gift card. Can't recommend them until they send it.

Burnt in couple of months. I don't recommend to buy it.

It didn’t have a plate inside. There wasn’t many microwaves to choose from either.

The Insignia Countertop Microwave is a budget friendly microwave that gets the job done. With plenty of size to cook everything from popcorn to personal size pizza this unit can handle most foods out there all without taking up too much counter space. At first tryout i was kind of laughing at myself because i was too dumb to read the sign they clearly put on the window which let you know how to open the door, which was a lift up, pull out style, so keep that in mind lol. This microwave has just about most settings that you would expect to find on just about any modern microwave. One of the first thing i like to always try out is the popcorn setting as this is my favorite snack to make and some microwaves out there can tend to over cook it. The setting was already set up perfect and at full completion time the popcorn was cooked to perfection. No burnt popcorn and very few uncooked kernels were left. The defrost power level 1 worked great for my morning time breakfast which usually includes me thawing out some sausage or bacon in order to complete my meal of eggs. Using the defrost setting has always been hit or miss for me as most my microwaves in the past tend to never thaw them out properly, leaving the middle always frozen which requires me to always adjust my settings. This one was good to go with no adjustments needed which saved time allowing me to get my day started earlier. All in all this is a microwave that comes in at a solid price point that wont break the bank. It offers a happy medium of size all while not taking up precious counter space. It does tend to lean more towards the bulky size so i would recommend mounting it in a cabinet however it will fit just fine on most counter spaces. I have always had good luck with Insignia brands as far as quality and longevity go so i would expect no less from this microwave.

I recently received the Insignia™ 1.1 Cu. Ft. Microwave in black, and it has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen. This microwave is the perfect blend of functionality and style, fitting seamlessly on my countertop without taking up too much space. With a height of 12 1/8 inches, width of 20 1/4 inches, and depth of 15 3/4 inches, this microwave is compact yet spacious enough to handle all my cooking needs. The 1000-watt power output ensures that my food heats quickly and evenly, saving me time during busy mornings and late-night snacks. I love the simple button control interface, which is straightforward and easy to use. The LED display is bright and clear, making it easy to monitor cooking times. The 14 preset programs are incredibly convenient for common tasks like defrosting, reheating pizza, and popping popcorn. The turntable rotates smoothly, ensuring even heating, and is easily removable for quick cleaning. One of my favorite features is the child lock, which gives me peace of mind when my little ones are around. While it doesn't have app compatibility or an interior light, these are minor drawbacks compared to its overall performance and value. The sleek black finish adds a modern touch to my kitchen decor. At 31.97 pounds, it is sturdy and well-built. Overall, the Insignia™ 1.1 Cu. Ft. Microwave is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a reliable, efficient, and stylish microwave. I highly recommend it!

Affordable, timeless design, and it does the job well.

The Insignia 1.1 Cubic Foot Countertop Microwave is a great basic microwave with all the features you would come to expect in a microwave. The microwave is 1000 W and features an internal light, rotating glass turntable, 2 step locking doorhandle, bright LED display, and 9 preset cooking functions. As previously stated, all of this is pretty much what you would expect a microwave to contain. Operation is also very familiar if you have used a microwave any time recently. The only thing that caught me a little off guard is the two-step doorhandle. There's a little trigger-like button near the top of the handle that you need to squeeze to actually unlatch the door. Very handy if you have small children that you don't want to access the microwave. Functionally, the microwave works as expected. It is easy to use and cooks my food exactly as expected. The added quick functions are nice to have, but I find myself only regularly using the +30 second option, and occasionally the popcorn function. Other than that, I just manually input the time I want something to cook and don't mess with anything else. But this is how I've treated every microwave I've ever owned. Ultimately, this is a very well-built microwave that doesn't reinvent the wheel, so to speak. It does what a microwave is supposed to do, and it does it well. If you need a basic countertop microwave, you can't go wrong with the Insignia.

This microwave is rather convenient to use and more powerful than our old one. It is also easy to operate except for a different way to open it: by pressing a small "button" inside the handle, so one should never forget it while opening the door.

Works great, perfect size for what I needed. Runs very efficient.

The microwave is a great, powerful, medium-sized microwave.I have seen other reviews that mentioned the door handle but I see the handle as a plus
