The Insignia™ - 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave – Black can cook and heat up food just as most microwaves operate. The difference in the Insignia™ - 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave – Black is the method of operation. With the ability to change the power level, I can reduce the wattage used which can help avoid a strain on my homes electrical system. Food can be made quickly on the highest power level of ten or a lower power level can be used to cook for a longer period of time. I first just made a cup of tea with a two minute setting at fifty-percent power. It was not hot enough to simmer the tea bag, but two minutes on the highest power level of ten did heat my water enough to simmer the tea bag. Popcorn caused me a problem, because the instructions give cooking by package weight. I have a family size jar and do not pop in a bag. Using my glass bowl, I was able to pop me some popcorn, by simply selecting the amount of time myself. The automatic popcorn menu does not provide enough time and heat for an amount not in a popcorn bag. Food heated up steamy with times over three minutes, but did not get warm enough to enjoy with a two minute selection or less. I find it better to just select the minutes myself to operate the microwave, instead of pressing any of the auto menu buttons (Popcorn, Potato, Pizza, Frozen vegetables, Beverages and Dinner plate). The dark color blends in nicely with my kitchen area and fits perfectly near the corner of my kitchen counter. Even without using the auto menu, the Insignia™ - 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave – Black can handle all the necessary microwave duties a cook needs.

If you are looking for a great basic microwave, this one won't disappoint. We have a good mix of black and black/white appliances in our kitchen. It was time to replace a fancy microwave that had started to malfunction and I didn't want something too over the top again. I wanted something with a big enough space to fit larger plates if needed and I wanted a handle specifically as that was another issue we were having with our previous push to open style microwave door. If you have smaller kids, the handle on this is amazing. You have to press a little trigger inside the top part of the handle in addition to pulling it and this is equipped with a child proof mode that is fairly easy to turn off and on as well. This was packed really nicely and was not damaged at all upon arrival. It was quick to set up and get the clock set to the correct time. I appreciated that there wasn't a ton of extra or wasteful packaging on the items as well. There is a nice set up under the glass plate that keeps it rotating and we've had no issue cooking all sorts of things and reheating leftovers. Definitely recommend this one.

I was looking for a microwave I could use out in our garage that wouldn’t break the bank, and that also would be somewhat more subdued color wise. This microwave looks great and performs well! It has all the convenience features you would hope for, including express times, +30-second quick add, and built-in defrost and popcorn functions. Very convenient. One thing that is going to take some getting used to is the handle design. The release latch at the top of the handle is different than most straight-pull handle designs these days. It is a nice chuckle to watch one of my family members try to open it for the first time and tug the whole microwave without the door budging. This may be exactly what you need if you have curious toddlers around who may try to microwave their hot wheel car. I would give this microwave a try! At this price, it works incredibly well and heats my food consistently and conveniently. Thanks for reading this review and I hope it has helped you out! Happy microwaving!

Works great and fits a full size dinner plate without taking to much room. Another good thing i didnt notice at first was the ding at end is not obnoxiously annoying like my last one

Perfect replacement for my possessed microwave that turned itself on every day at 1103am to defrost. Really it did. Love the updated design

worked fine and did the job, until about two weeks ago when it would turn itself on and off when I was no where close to using it, it would randomly act like it was heating something while it was never turned on. Then it just working when I actually tried to heat something and of course this started 1 month after the 1 year warranty...

I’m very happy with this purchase, it looks good and works great and the price was right.

I can make glkd food with this microwave fir my kids. Worked fabulous and gives me a gokd relaxation while microwaving:)

powerful, a little heavier than expected, hard to read controls, no re-heat button, must read manual to play with the results you want. Good price so you get what you paid for not as many bells and whistles as other units

Got it as a gift for a friend and she says it works great

Its a nice little microwave space saver appliance.

This was the cheapest offer from Best Buy. It’s a very good basic microwave. Does the job. I like how it does one simple beep when done and reminds you with a double beep if you forget to take it out. Not so noisy like other models.

Great product exactly as described and although I picked up around the holidays it was still great timing

Fast service and absolutely awesome microwave! Works better than I thought it would!

Works great and I love the option to turn off the display.

So far, a great microwave. Love the style and handle.
