Customer Ratings & Reviews

Perfect, exactly what I was looking for. Very easy to use. The bell signaling the time is complete is single, not annoying (like five beeps on my last microwave) and a fre minutes later, there is a reminder if you haven't opened the door yet to remove your item. The handle is also perfect and door handle easy to grab and open in one simple pull. The overall size is smaller than my last one, but this has the same size glass plate, saving space on the countertop. Heats food efficiently. Quick settings for 1 minute intervals. And less than $100. I give it 5 thumbs up!!

I really just wanted a no frills unit to warm coffee and make some veggies. This is more then I need and surprised me with how quiet it is. Comes with a lot of nice features which I will probably never use, but nice they are there. The rotating glass is nice and covers the entire base. Another nice feature is if you leave the item you are warming up in the unit, it'll beep again after 1 minute. I've done it. :)

Living in an apartment I needed a microwave that did not take up too much space but still provided 1000 watts of energy. Obviously, this is bigger than say a 700 watt microwave in size, but if looking for a 1000 watt microwave, this is the one to get. It is easy to figure out how to use it. I do wish the buttons were back lit for easier reading, but do not know if any microwave offers that feature. Definitely recommend.

Microwave works great. Doesn't take up a bunch of space and has safety lock for kids. Easy to use!

The size is nice, plenty of room inside, and it has plenty of power too. And the operation is easy enough. However this is the LOUDEST Microwave Oven I have ever heard. Thankfully it was emergency purchase, one we needed for a shot time, and then boxed it for use if our other microwave goes down. We had a nice Microwave/Air-Fryer combo oven that the door opening mechanism went bad. Thankfully we had a Geek Squad plan, but then had to send it out for repair/replacement, This was our choice to use while waiting for the other one to be returned. Woks OK, just a bit loud.

Perfect size for my office. Great features and easy to use

Absolutely PERFECT size. A gentleman who helped me decide on what size to get really helped because I nearly purchased a 2.2 cubic foot, but this is the perfect size perfect functionality.

We bought this microwave for our cabin. It is a nice size and is simple to use. Works well.

Very good for the price. Features are perfect. Only problem is that the plate doesn't seat properly. The one piece assembly for the plate is a great idea but the tabs on the bottom of the plate don't reach the notches on the assembly. Plate does turn but makes a small rubbing noise. Looking all over for solutions but came up with no answers.

--- SETUP --- The microwave comes as a one piece unit that only requires you to remove the tapes that hold certain things for safety, insert the glass rotating plate, and plug in to use. You might need two people to get the microwave safely out of the box and help you carry it onto where you want it to be, but otherwise, it is easy to install. --- FEATURES --- 9 cooking presets (popcorn, potato, pizza, frozen vegetable, beverage, dinner plate, express cook (1-6), add 30s, and defrost options.), 1.1 cu. ft. interior, 12.4 inch glass turntable, child-lock safety door handle. The black finish makes an excellent aesthetic with other black kitchen appliances. Light inside turns on when the microwave is opened, not just when in use. --- EXPECTATIONS and PERFORMANCE --- This microwave is an upgrade from my previous microwave. The turntable is bigger, allowing me to fit larger sized cookware. In it, I was able to cook microwavable mashed potatoes, which is sometimes a challenge because some microwaves will leave the mashed potatoes hot on the surface, but cold in the middle. With this Insignia model, my mashed potatoes came out warm all around. Next, I cooked some canned corn. I used the 5 minute preset and cooked it in microwavable glassware. I added butter, mayo, and salt, making the corn tasty. For our weekly movie night, I cooked two bags of popcorn. For popcorn, I always follow the instructions on the popcorn bag, not the popcorn button. Needless to say, our popcorn came out nearly fully popped and we didn’t get any burnt popcorn smell. My wife and I are big coffee brewers. We use a french press and like to warm our water in the microwave. The beverage button mode is great, as you have the option to press it up to 3 times and heat 1,2, or 3 cups of your beverage. It speeds up our morning routine. If you happen to forget what the presets do after each press, there is a nice plaque with a reminder of what you can do with the presets. That is a great feature to have and actually use the presets with your microwave. We have been using this new microwave daily since we installed it, and we quickly became accustomed to how it works, how the door opens, and the noises it makes when your food is ready. Adding thirty seconds makes it convenient when you know you need extra cooking time, and having presets that are actually easy to understand is a plus. --- APPROVAL --- Overall, this is a nice microwave that is a definite upgrade compared to my previous microwave. It is user friendly and requires little to no effort to understand its functionalities. It's great at cooking popcorn, reheating leftovers, and cooking frozen meals with even temperatures. I highly recommend this product to anyone.

Works great and is easy to operate. A plate fits perfectly.

There are several things that needs to happen for a microwave; heat up the food, heat it up well and uniformly, ability to control temperature, able to control timer. Those are the basics and this unit meets this easily. Then some features that make life convenient, the auto defrost, popcorn setting, reheat , +30 seconds, many of these are easily included in the onscreen display. What stood out to me are two things for this unit; the extra auto settings and there’s a little sticker to remind you of all the extra settings available to you. In a pinch you can put in the auto settings by referring to the sticker as you open the microwave. Maybe it’s just all the units I’ve used in the past, but this was helpful for a quick reference and the additional programmed setting was appreciated. The last thing to talk about that I’m sure stands out in everyone’s mind is the handle. The handle requires to be held in an upward position to open the handle, it is not the traditional pull to open. I thought why would anyone do this? In the best case scenario, I thought this would be useful if there’s a young toddler at home who’s pulling on handles, this would prevent the toddler from opening and dragging a microwave. But I thought that would only be ideal if the toddler wasn’t strong enough to pull the whole thing off the counter. Since my toddler doesn’t have this problem I can’t test it, but I think in theory this is a nice baby proofing feature that isn’t available in all microwaves so nice touch ! Kudos !

An absolute great microwave. There is a button on the handle to open the door. I don’t think it is necessary and probably will be the first thing on it to break. Other than that it is a very large and powerful microwave that can handle any task.

This is a very big, powerful, and quiet microwave. I love the handle feature as there is no more snatching of the door which always lead to the handle being broken. The LED clock, timer lights up the kitchen at night. Only one month in so hopefully it holds up.

A very good, straight-forward microwave that works reliably and well. It had a good price point for having a thousand watts and 1.1 cu ft size---going smaller is less expensive but not by much, and with this microwave I have all the basics covered.

I purchased the insignia counter top microwave in black. It has great features, looks great on our counter and is very efficient. I would highly recommend this appliance for anyone looking for a mid grade microwave.

A small and simple but strong microwave, plugged it it, does its work efficiently. Very pleased with purchase!

Perfect size for my space. Warms up for fast, it's quiet and its easy to clean. I just love it

Love it! Might be a little too powerful lolll. No problems at all. Use it in the Kroger Bakery.

Great little microwave! It’s easy to use and powerful. The handle design with the trigger button was easy to get used to and makes opening the microwave easy. I really like that you can turn off the beep sound for the buttons and also the end beeps. It runs pretty quietly too. Very happy with this purchase so far!
