      Hi Insignia customer, thank you for sharing your experience with the Insignia - 1.6 Cu. Ft. Countertop microwave. It sounds like the extra power is really making a difference compared to your previous unit. A short learning curve is totally normal with sensor cooking and inverter tech, but once you get the feel for it, the speed and consistency can be a real upgrade. I’m glad you’re enjoying it already. We appreciate you choosing Insignia. Faisal | Insignia. BBY-ExBrand_Insignia

    It’s a good size microwave, much more powerful than the one it is replacing. The keypad is intuitive and has lots of options. The auto defrost is either by time or weight, not by type of food (ground meat, chicken, etc) so it takes some adjustment and requires you to keep close. My biggest complaint is that it is such a powerful microwave, it actually disrupts my sound system and my WiFi. I’ve changed my router’s broadcast channels and have had marginal improvement. So I just ask my family to not microwave while I’m on a video call.

    I have been really surprised how much I like this microwave. You can barely hear it running especially compared to my old one. I can think of only one thing I would change, the light bulb inside is not bright enough to really see the food.

    Opening the door is an accident waiting to happpen. Having to press a trigger while pulling to open the door is not good. Trigger mechanism feels flimsy - not a good design.
