Already concerned about this product!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own 4 Insignia televisions & an Insignia all-in-one Stereo system. I am very pleased with all of them....so, I ordered this Insignia Microwave online. I've had it less than a week and it's already making a knocking noise for the entire time it's in use. Since I bought on-line, I doubt that I can return it to the nearest BEST BUY store located 30 miles away in Branson. MO. I would shy away from this product and pay a few dollars more for a Toshiba.

DANGEROUS! Turns on my itself
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I heard a noise coming from the kitchen, and it had turned on by itself! Happened multiple times! Apparently this keeps happening. Unacceptable, now it’s out of warranty, and I paid much less for it than it apparently is listed now, so buying a new one is silly. Even on sale, it’s more expensive. Yet it’s cheap as crap. Avoid and buy name brand. Waste of money.

- Cons mentioned:Door
Shoddy construction, insufficient warranty
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Door broke literally one week after warranty expired. Literally, exactly, 7 days after end of warranty. During that year the microwave was used, perhaps 15 times maximum. Unfortunate that plastic parts were used in critical safety pieces such as door latches.

Cheap and loud
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's really loud, I wish I spent a little more for better because it's definitely not what I expected.... It works though
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDoes the job
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just your average microwave oven with intuitive controls.
I would recommend this to a friendghosted? broke after 1 year.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You get what you paid for. It's cheap for a reason. 1=1min, 2=2min, etc. by default. it's inconvenience if you want 45sec since you have to switch setting. Lasted 1 year. Microwave doesn't stop after counts down to "0". Worst, it would sporadically runs by itself with "0" timer then stops and runs again. Could I say "ghosted"? When it worked out was ok.

Shuts down when there's too much steam.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like this microwave but when there's to much steam inside of it, it cuts off. Literally shuts down with no power whatsoever!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from InsigniaCustomerSupport
Posted .We’re glad to hear that you like the microwave overall, but we’re sorry to learn about the issue with it shutting down due to steam. This does sound inconvenient and frustrating.
It’s possible that the excess steam is triggering a safety feature designed to prevent overheating. However, the microwave should not lose power completely. We recommend checking if there’s a ventilation issue or if the microwave needs to be cleaned.
For a more thorough resolution, please contact our customer support team. They can provide specific troubleshooting steps or discuss repair options if needed. Your feedback is important to us as we work to enhance our products and ensure a better user experience. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Don't buy this brand microwave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased in November 2023. It is May 2025 and the power level button and time cook button are not working. I WOULD NOT recommend insignia microwaves to others nor will I buy another in this brand.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I works fine. But the turntable rattles no matter how many times I reposition it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendTerrible quality - stay away.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didn't last 2 years! I used this maybe 1-2 times a week, and generally for 2 minutes or less each time. Last night it started randomly turning on, which is probably related to the logic board. Given the sporadic use, failing in such a short time is just not acceptable. Go for a better brand!

No, I would not recommend this to a friendDisappointing!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really considering returning this item. Though it states it is 1000 watts, it takes much longer to heat things than the 1100 watt microwave it replaced. Coffe that took 1 minute to heat in the old microwave now takes 1:40. Popcorn takes so long that the popped kernels burn before the unpopped ones reach "popping temperature". I am very disappointed with this purchase. The buttons are a bit difficult to press - you've really got to push them center and hard. I thought I'd get away spending a little less and ended up getting burned.

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this microwave in Spring 2022. Barely 2.5 years later, it has failed. Last night/today it has started to randomly turn on and off by itself. This has happened to others with this microwave. I now plan to purchase a non Best Buy microwave with the 4 year protection plan.
