  • Poor lighting

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I gave it only 3 stars because the light underneath is very poor. Does not provide enough lighting. It has a very poor LED light. Something that it’s important for cooking and using as a nightlight. I provided a picture with the light on as you can see it. It provides no light whatsoever.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Thank you for your review, Bren. We're sorry to hear that the lighting on the Insignia™ 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave didn't meet your expectations. This model is designed with LED cooktop lighting for energy-efficient illumination. Your feedback is valuable, and we'll use it to improve our products. Ivy | Insignia Support BBY-ExBrand_Insignia

    So far, so good. It has the main feature that we were lookkng for, the ability to turn off the turntable. Our last one broke because a platter that we use often was too big & we didnt realize it was bloking the movement of the turntable until after it was broken. This microwave has that & all the other features thst we love.

    Bought this to replace our non working GE. It fit perfectly and had the same hardware, wall mount as the GE. So far has worked well although a bit louder than the old one. Overall satisfied with fit and function.

      That's great to hear! It's always a relief when a replacement appliance fits perfectly and uses the existing hardware. We're glad it's working well for you, and we understand the slight increase in noise. It's common for different models to have varying sound levels. We appreciate your overall satisfaction with the fit and function. - Carl | Insignia Products BBY-ExBrand_Insignia

      We understand your frustration, PatriciaM. Stainless steel appliances can indeed show fingerprints quite easily, which can be a bit annoying. However, many users find that the performance and features of the Insignia™ - 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave make up for this minor inconvenience. To help with the fingerprints, you might want to try using a stainless-steel cleaner or wipes specifically designed for this purpose. They can help keep your microwave looking clean and shiny with minimal effort.
