Caught fire! Dangerous!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dangerous! We were making a bag of popcorn when the microwave made a piercing alarm sound I’d never heard before. It started smoking. A computerized voice repeated FIRE FIRE intermittently with the alarm. I was able to unplug it and remove the bag—which was not burned. The inside panel of the microwave had bubbled and caught fire! Charred black. A chemical burn smell and smoke filled my house setting off other alarms. These should be recalled!

Garbage, low quality please stay away from it.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After just 5 months, the turntable started making a loud noise. It seems like the motor is misaligned or something similar. I tried cleaning the glass turntable and roller ring, but it didn’t help. Even with BB+ membership and Geek Squad protection, we still have to carry it to the store. Just a heads-up—this can feel like wasted money and only adds to e-waste.

Great compact microwave with retro style
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When it comes to buying a microwave there are so many options and it can be hard to choose the right one. I believe the insignia retro compact microwave is the perfect option for a few types of people. This is the perfect microwave for college, apartment, and maybe even camping. Starting off with the design, the retro look and feel makes this microwave add style to your kitchen. The mint color is a perfect match to many other appliances such kitchen aid mixers and Keurig coffee makers. The door has a built-in locking function that requires you to press a button to open it. One thing that shocked me was that it included a glass turntable. This helps heat your food evenly and is not something I have typically seen in smaller microwaves. One of the best things about it is the size and weight. It is small and very lightweight. This makes it the perfect microwave for a dorm, a smaller apartment, or even a camper. Although it is small and compact, it is plenty big enough to heat and cook meals. With 700 watts of power, it is both power conservative but also has enough power to heat food fast. It has multiple presets for your cooking and heating needs. It also has a defrost function if you need to defrost meat. Overall, this is the perfect compact microwave. I love the retro style and the modern features. We have a small camper that does not have a microwave, and that is where this will be used. Thankfully, due to its small size, it is the perfect microwave to keep in our camper with us. I believe this is the prefect microwave for anyone in college, or living in a small apartment.
