Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was a gfit for my daughter and son in law for their new apartment. I read all the reviews before purchasing and was deciding between this one and a smaller one ((1.1 cu ft). I ultimately decided to get this one- because of the sensor cooking technology. Turns out that is the very thing they love about it! Very nice looking microwave with a large selection of cooking options. Very happy this full-sized microwave purchase. Got it on sale, so even better!

I recently purchased the Insignia microwave, and overall, I’m very satisfied with it. It heats food quickly and evenly, and the controls are simple and intuitive. The interior space is generous for everyday cooking, and the exterior design looks clean and modern on the countertop. One thing to note is that it’s a bit louder than I expected, but not enough to be a deal-breaker. For the price, it offers great value and reliable performance. If you need a budget-friendly microwave that gets the job done well, this is a solid choice.

Purchased just before Thanksgiving. It's an excellent size and power level, with a relatively intuitive menu. The only thing that's not intuitive is the mechanism to open the door. You lift up on a latch in the door handle. This is not the way most microwave ovens open. But it's not hard to adjust your muscle memory. I don't use the settings for specific foods nor the temperature sensor, and can't comment on how well they work.

It works well. Different from my old(20+y.o. ) Sharp, so a bit of a learning curve, but it has done everything I expected. I haven't tried my microwave peanut brittle in it yet, but I have until next Christmas to figure it out. I like it, and the price was right.

I like this microwave door as my son has previously broken the push to open ones, and this has a handle with a release button that I think will last longer. it is a good size for items I normally microwave. I am still getting use to the 1200 wats cooking in less time than my old 1000 wats. Got this one delivered 11-9 after the last one just stopped working.

Nice Microwave, quiet, the power/watts was surprisingly more than our last microwave and things heat up and quickly. The price was a great deal for this size microwave and watts and I love the pull up release lock - it doesn’t take much to get use to. I would definitely recommend to someone and purchase again.

The microwave looks great on our counter. It has a nice size to fit most things we want to heat up. The door has a safety lock to keep small kids from putting things into the microwave. It is easy to clean.

I only just got this oven so I can't speak to longevity, but so far it's great. I love the features like 3 memory settings, you can turn the display and the sound on or off, and of course the inverter. The instructions for these ARE in the book, contrary to some reviews.

Great microwave, nice size, works well out of the box

Excellent quality! It's much quieter than most microwaves I've used. It heats very evenly, and the door doesn't make that loud, annoying click when you open and close it!

Most microwaves have a similar look, function, and performance, so why pay more for the name on the front? (They are all probably made by Midea anyway.) This Insignia microwave looks nice, works well, and feels like reasonable quality.

I looked around to buy my parents a new microwave. For its size and the price of $40 off it was a fair deal compared to everyone else. And I looked everywhere.

Works very well and a great price! The door safety door release is is a little annoying at first,but after a weeks use it became normal and no problem. Would buy again providing it's trouble free for a reasonable time frame (a minimum of 5 years)!

I’m so satisfied with this new microwave. Was getting sick of using a 1000 watt when most of the frozen food says 1200. Now this one is 1400 so had to experiment how much time could be saved but overall I like it a lot. Also very easy to use with lots of great settings

My 12-year-old GE microwave has started acting up. It rattles like something inside is loose, and the turntable works, but makes a clunking sound. I was really dreading having to replace it because it looks built-in. It’s actually just sitting on a shelf in the cabinetry and has a stainless-steel bezel to give it a built-in look. I removed it and measured it, and went looking for a replacement that would fit. I found this Insignia microwave oven that is the exact size I needed. I ordered it, and sure enough, it’s a perfect fit. But that’s not the best thing about this microwave. First of all, it’s very quiet. Even when my existing microwave was not making its odd sounds, its normal operating volume level was fairly loud. This Insignia microwave is near silent in comparison. The turntable is totally silent. The controls are easy to use and very intuitive. I like the one-touch operation of being able to press and number from 1 through 6 and have it start and run for than many minutes. A single touch of the “Start” button runs a quick 30-second cycle, and each additional press adds another 30 seconds to any cycle. The buttons are responsive and clearly labeled. Plus being flat, they are very easy to clean. The LED display is large, bright and easy to read. The 1.6 cubit foot size is perfect for my needs. It holds most anything I need to cook. With 1400 watts, it’s powerful and cooks quickly. I was able to bring 1 cup of water to a rolling boil in well under a minute. The sensor cook works very well. I’ve been able to perfectly cook every plate of leftovers with its “Reheat” mode. Defrosting works well, too. I have absolutely no complaints about the cooking capabilities of this microwave. I only have two minor complaints, and they are really insignificant and did not affect my overall rating. First of all, to open the door, you have to press a small interlock “trigger” inside the handle. I didn’t realize this and thought the door was stuck. I guess this is some sort of child safety feature, but it’s the first microwave I’ve used in decades that didn’t just open by pulling on the handle. Like IO said, it’s a minor issue, and I have quickly become accustomed to pulling on the trigger to open the door. My other issue is that the turntable does not have an off button. If it’s in place, it rotates when the oven is on. Sometimes I’ve needed to cook some odd-sized plates that I don’t want to rotate as they will hit the front or back of the inside, so I am used to switching off the turntable. Again, this is a minor complaint, and I rarely need to use this missing function, so I don’t count off because of it. Overall, this is a great microwave. It has decent capacity and power in medium-compact package. It’s easy to use and cooks very well. It also looks sleek and modern. This is a great value for a microwave oven and I highly recommend it.

I had to replace my old microwave and this, Insignia 1.6 cu. ft. Is perfect for my space. It is more powerful than I thought it would be. I would recommend to my friends. Staff was very helpful and friendly!

I really like my new Microwave. The size is perfect. I like the fact that you can't just pull the door open automatically and the rest of my family really liked it as well, it was perfect, just in time for Thanksgiving.

Everything with the purchase of the microwave went perfectly. I ordered it through the app for curbside pickup and everything was perfect. The microwave is working very well and has so many features for the price.

Very good microwave, you can mute it so it makes no sounds, and you can lock it so none of the young ones mess with it, also the size is good, you can fit almost anything in it

By far the most powerful microwave I have ever owned. I usually end up reducing recommended cooking times by 10 to 20%. Extremely quiet too. Buttons are well laid out and easy to.
