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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

Very cute microwave for the space it’s in. I bought it for my job. Very good.

Microwave has been working great, highly recommended. The only thing it does not have is a reheat button, but the time cook works perfectly the same.

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.

Excellent size for my kitchen and very easy to use.

Great and compact microwave and be ised and stored away without taking up a lot of space very nice i would recommend 100 percent.

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).

Works great as expected. Quaint size. Heats up great

So happy I chose this one - it's small and does the job well!

Small and compact and doesn’t take up much room on the countertop. Nice that the cooking times are preset so really easy to use.

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.

I mainly purchased because of the price but once I placed it where the older one was, this was nice and small that gave me additional counter space due to it's size. So far, easy to use and does the job I need.

Works well, as expected! We have a stove, oven, and air-fryer, but this little guy works great for warming coffee, plates with or without food, veggie steam packs, and popping popcorn!
