Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Insignia microwave meets my needs very well. I picked up this microwave because I needed a new one in my camper. The 1.6 CU. FT. unit was a perfect fit for the space I have. I don’t necessarily “cook” full meals in a microwave. I’m more prone to use it to prepare side dishes, re-warm leftovers, and pop popcorn. This unit does those things very well. Packaging was stout and the unit arrived in perfect condition. Setup was super easy. Just box, remove some tape, put the plate stand and the plate in, and you are ready to go. I like the stainless steel and black aesthetic. When it comes to cooking, it works well. Much better than my old unit. Take a little time and get familiar with the preset and sensor cook operations. You can certainly just throw something in there and turn it on, but if you actually use the features, I think you’ll be glad you took time to learn them. Popcorn comes out great, and you can tell it how much you are popping which helps reduce un-popped kernels. It sensor cooks potatoes very well. Just push the button and let it figure it out on its own. You don’t get the crispy skin like you do in the oven, but it’s a great time saver and keeps you from running the oven when it’s hot. It also warmed my left-over chicken fajitas to perfection without making the veggies too mushy. It also does a nice job at softening butter, thanks to the inverter technology. Inverter technology is a nice step up from what I’m used to. In an older microwave, when you want to cook at 50% power, all it really does is turn on and off to simulate about 50% power. With an inverter microwave, the circuit board truly reduces the power to a continuous 50%. This leads to more even cooking and helps keep things from turning into mush. So ya, this is great little microwave. It’s perfect for my camper and I’m looking forward to years of use. It’s a tad loud compared to my indoor microwave, but I really don’t care.
