Customer Ratings & Reviews

I couldn’t be happier with this microwave. It heats food evenly and much faster than my old one, and the controls are super easy to use. The design is sleek and modern, so it looks great in my kitchen. I also appreciate how quiet it runs compared to other models I’ve owned. Whether I’m reheating leftovers, making popcorn, or cooking a quick meal, it gets the job done perfectly every time. Highly recommend this microwave to anyone looking for quality and convenience!

As the name of the product suggests, this is a compact microwave from Insignia. I picked this Microwave to use in the office at work to warm up my breakfast and lunch meals, so the 0.7 Cu Ft. size of it was perfect for that task. The microwave tops out at 700w so this is something that you need to keep in mind when making food and reading the directions as most instructions call for 1000-1100w, so adjust accordingly. What I have found to have worked so far is adding 30% more time. So if a meal calls for 60 seconds, I set it to 20. This microwave is pretty run of the mill when it comes to microwaves. It comes with all the presets you would expect, adjustable power levels (11 in fact), cook timers, and an easily removable turntable. In my short time with it so far it has worked just as I would have expected. Honestly there are more features on microwaves than I'll ever use so its hard to test all aspects. The preset cooking features on this work by either number of items (for Potatoes) or weight of food. Press the button the number of times required to get to the weight of the food and hit start. Thats all there is to it and there is no guess work. The hardest part is figuring out the weight of your food. I've found myself pausing close to the end and doing a temperature check. One feature this microwave has that I'm just discovering (I don't know if others do) is you can set the power level to 0 which will just run the fan and vent the microwave. This will be useful for potentially odorful food or after cleaning to help get the smells out. There is one feature with the microwave that I don't understand the purpose of and its the trigger door release. It seems like an odd design choice as opposed to a grip based release or simply pressure. The plastic on that setup felt a bid flimsy so I can't attest to how durable it is. Hasn't broken on me yet but it is something I'll be watching for. Overall, pretty satisfied with this microwave. Its very budget friendly and works really well for heating up my meals at work.

For a smaller sized microwave this one is really good. Didn't have a lot of counter space and this was the perfect size, and allowed me to still have room left on my counter. The microwave looks good, and works marvelously, i use it a lot plenty of power for defrosting, for cooking my breakfast on workdays and popcorn, and different snacks. I would definitely recommend.

Small footprint countertop microwave. 700 watts. Built-in turntable. This is a lower-power microwave (typical is 1000 watts) that does a decent job. The control panel is easy to use and intuitive. Plusses: Much like GE and Frigidaire microwaves, this one has express keys. Just push any numbered key and it turns on immediately for that many minutes at full power. (1= 1 minute, 2= 2 minutes ... 5= 5 minutes, etc. The start key doubles as an 'Add 30 seconds' button. Tap it without entering cook time and it immediately turns on at full power for 30 seconds. If the unit is already on, the same key will add 30 more seconds each time tapped at the same power level as originally set for the item being cooked. Minuses: Takes longer to cook than higher powdered microwaves. All in all, a great value for $69.99 (price I paid).

The Insignia™ .7 Cu. Ft. Compact Microwave in black is for those of us that need something small in stature, preserving your usable real estate, but mighty in function that gives us a choice in microwaving. The unit arrived well packed, but to tell the truth, not much is included- the unit comes with the glass turntable and circular piece for underneath the turntable, and 3 owner's manuals in English, Spanish, and French. This is the newer version of this Insignia model per my review of Best Buy's website. I was impressed that this unit has 2 separate defrost settings-either by time or weight. One of my first impressions is that when you grab the handle, you must push the gray piece inside the handle to open the door. The manufacturer refers to this as a 2-step safety feature for those that might have children trying to use the microwave. I have never experienced that with a microwave, no matter what the size has been. I also like easy and setting the clock is a no brainer. As you can see with the attached photos, the A/C plug is on the right back side when looking at the front of the unit. I personally had no issues with its length as I reached to plug it in, how convenient. There are multiple pre-settings for your ease of operation or the time clock, and the black color will easily match your design. In fact, there are even 2 defrost options- either by time or weight that is unusual, I think, in a modestly priced microwave unit. The buttons are labelled in white and visually comfortable to see. That is important to me since I am 65 years old. I have put this unit in my office's front room for not only my quick use adjacent to my working office, but for any of my clients that might want to warm up their coffee or other hot beverages that they might come in with. I have only used this briefly since receipt, but I believe that this is a good choice at a reasonable price.

I purchased the Insignia 0.7 cu. ft. compact microwave in black and it works perfectly for small spaces. It heats food evenly, runs quietly, and is very easy to use with simple controls. The size is ideal for a dorm, office, or small kitchen. For the price, it’s a reliable and convenient microwave that gets the job done.

The Insignia™ 0.7 Cu. Ft. Compact Microwave in black is a solid choice for those seeking a small, efficient microwave for tight spaces. Its compact design makes it ideal for dorm rooms, small apartments, or office break rooms. The 700-watt power output is suitable for reheating and defrosting, though it may not be the best for cooking large meals. The user-friendly controls and preset cooking functions make it straightforward to use. Overall, it's a reliable and affordable option for basic microwave needs.

Good Product works well small it doesn’t take up too much space good for dorms or a single person. The only reason why I rate it a four is because the door is hard to open and close. You have to slam the door to get it to close and you have to pull on it extremely hard to get it to open. That could be a problem for elderly person or someone with arthritis or disability.

I got this for my son who just recently got hos apt amd needed a microwave. It's a prerry good size, works great, saves space and i like that it doesn't beep 3 times. It only beeps once. I definitely recommend if you're looking for something not too big, not too small.

Good value for small room for warming lunch and beverages. Easy to operate and quite in operation.

Works very well. It isn’t too heavy, which is great. I bought it for my husband to keep at work. And all his coworkers use it as well. Heats up fast, and he likes that it doesn’t take up too much space.

I bought this microwave to have in my basement. The size is perfect it has a great deal of power to it. clock and everything works so well. The glass dish rotates as everything cooks. Perfect size for a small kitchen, or dorm room, or even a camper. Love this microwave very much.

The price was great, the small size was what I needed but it is much weaker than any microwave I have ever had and requires pushing lots of buttons to make it cook. I am sure once I study the manual I will do better

I got this microwave mainly because of the size since it's for my working van which I sleep in when I'm out on the road. Small and light enough to lug around with ease and works perfectly for my setup so far.

Love this compact and super quiet microwave. It heats food quickly and ends with a short beep ( not annoying). I like the LED light inside as well....very sleek. Besf part is that is super cheap.

This is a nice little microwave for small spaces like a small kitchen or for work. Convenient and does everything that a larger microwave would do. Works and heats great.

This microwave is to replace our old one. We had a silver/gray one before but the area that it was placed looked better with a black microwave. So this one will take its place. I’ll get the one 1 con out of the way. The size. We wanted a small microwave, this is a tiny microwave. It barely fits a plate in the middle with teaching the sides lightly. It will work but it’s a tight fit. This however is actually not a horrible thing because we need to miscrowave a little less in our household and this will force us to use the over or bbq pot. lol Once out the box I just plug it in after removing all the plastic and the inside parts. Putting the spinning piece in the middle with the plate on top was all that was needed to get it working. The heat strength is normal, nothing special. The one thing I’m having to get use to is how to open the door. You grab the top of the handle and lift and pull. Since our microwave is very high in the kitchen it is a small annoyance. Over all the clean black plastic and glass looks great and it works great.

Perfect fit for our truck. We use it 2-3 times while traveling from one state to other in daily basis. Works best.

The microwave is small, compact and get's the job done. It was perfect for what we bought it for.

I was looking for a cheap small microwave, this was it, it works as you would expect. The only downside is there is a locking lever on the inside of handle that you have to push up on to pull the door open, a little different to get used to. Also if you push the timer to a number (example) 1 it automatically starts for 1 minute same with any other number so if you want less than a whole number you meet to manually stop it . Overall it works for what I need
