This is a decent microwave for small spaces or light use. It’s compact and doesn’t take up much counter space, which is perfect for dorm rooms, offices, or smaller kitchens. The 0.7 cu. ft. size is enough for reheating meals or warming up drinks, but it’s not ideal for larger dishes or heavier cooking needs.
The 700-watt power gets the job done, but it can take longer to heat food compared to more powerful models. The controls are straightforward and easy to use, though the lack of advanced features might not suit everyone.
The black finish looks sleek and matches most decor, but the build quality feels a bit lightweight. If you’re looking for an affordable, no-frills microwave for simple tasks, this is a solid option. However, if you need something more powerful or with more capacity, you might want to consider a larger model.
Thank you for your detailed feedback, MissKayla! We're glad to hear that the Insignia™ .7 Cu. Ft. Compact Microwave is a good fit for your small space and light use needs.

Great microwave.. perfect size for wherever needed it to set. We needed it to fit above the coffe maker. Turntable was a plus for us. The white finish worked nicely with our cabinets.
I would recommend this to a friend

I bought this microwave looking to replace my old one because it was slowly dying. This was an amazing choice, my biggest struggle was getting one small enough to fit the space I have, but for the price and size this one is great! I will say, it does have less power than my old microwave, for example my old one warmed a slice of pizza in 10 seconds this one probably takes 15-20 but warms it very thoroughly outside and inside.

Was looking for a reasonable price point on a microwave for my office. This has been an excellent choice. Love the trigger button on the handle that needs to be pressed in order to open. Default "express cooking" is very practical since we usually move pretty fast when doing things. 10/10 recommend!
Thanks for your review, TawanaH! We're so happy to hear that the microwave fits perfectly in your mom's kitchen. It's wonderful that you could get her something she loves. Enjoy!

The Insignia .7 Cu Ft Compact Countertop microwave fit nicely on the small countertop area I was considering it for. If my grandson doesn’t end up taking it for his dorm room, it also fits easily on top of the minifridge in my home office so there are options on where to place it. The microwave isn’t heavy at all so it can easily be moved from one place to another.
Setup was very basic and only took about 5 minutes from unboxing to installing the turntable to programming the clock. The included manual gives operating instructions and button and setting descriptions. It was good to see an actual printed manual instead of having to scan a QR code, go to a website, or watch a video for a change. The LED display is bright, and the buttons are easy to read. I can do without the gray door release button that’s part of the handle design, though. I know Insignia says it’s to help make the microwave more childproof, but it doesn’t make it easy for arthritic hands either.
Being that this is a compact microwave, it’s not surprising that the inside is small, but it is little smaller than expected. A standard bag of microwave popcorn may stop rotating on the turntable because it begins to touch the side walls as it expands, and a plate larger than 8-10 inches is a tight fit. There’s nothing remarkable about its heating strength but it does get the job done at 700 watts. It takes 95 seconds to heat a cup of tea and I love that memory settings can be programmed for a most microwaved item like that cup of tea.
Overall, this microwave serves its purpose, is lightweight, and would be great for a dorm room, small office, truck cab or RV.
Thank you for sharing such a detailed review of the Insignia .7 Cu Ft Compact Countertop microwave. We’re glad to hear that it fits well in your space and that you found the setup and manual helpful. It’s great to know that the microwave’s compact size and memory settings are meeting your needs, even though the interior is a bit smaller than expected.
Your feedback about the door release button and the size limitations are valuable and will be noted for future improvements. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to reach out. We appreciate your detailed feedback and hope the microwave continues to serve you well.

Convenient, Compact and Inexpensive

This Insignia microwave is convenient and easy to use, making it perfect for small kitchens and apartments. Its compact size offers .7 cubic feet of cooking space and it comes with a 10 inch glass tray. In addition to the number pad, the control panel features a digital clock, 6 cooking presets, two defrosting settings, a cook time button, power button, clock button, kitchen timer, and start and stop buttons. To open the door you have to push a trigger which can take some time to get used to. I found myself pulling the door a few times without pushing the trigger. I understand the concept, which can also serve as a security measure for those with small children.
Just like any other microwave just place the food in the tray and start cooking. The buttons 1 through 6 serve as quick timers. For example, to heat something for three minutes, simply press the number 3. For anything above six min you need to use the cooking time button.
The power level ranges from 1 through 10, and is already at 10 by default. It heats up the food very well and the noise level is about average as any other microwave. This microwave is 700 watts, it might require a bit more time to cook compared to higher wattage microwaves. For instance, I have a 950-watt microwave drawer that heats a leftover meal from the fridge in about three minutes. With this microwave I do it in 5 minutes and it comes out burning, which is the way I like it.
Overall this microwave is great for small kitchens and apartments. It is very well constructed, lightweight, and works very well. It is easy to use and is inexpensive. In the box you get the microwave, 10 inch glass tray, tray spinner and user guide.
