Works great! And its sooo cute. It is more compact than your typical microwave

The microwave is the perfect size for my small apartment kitchen. Heats perfectly and the color fits my retro off-white theme. However, the controls do take a minute to adjust to. To me, the dial is a little counter-intuitive. Instead of turning right to increase the cook time, like you would with any timer, you have to turn left first to start time cook, then turn right to reach the smaller minute increments that are most often used. My other complaint is with the timer. I have accidentally changed the time on the clock while attempting to access the timer multiple times because of the order in which the button operates. In my opinion, it should have been press the button once for the timer because it is more often used and twice to change the clock, instead of the other way. Other than those two controls I think it’s a great microwave over all

I purchased this about a month ago looking for a smaller microwave and some color to my kitchen vs stainless and black. Looks great, nice compact size, solid. Controls are different so you will need to read instructions. I tend to just hit the 30 second button as a shortcut. Happy with purchase.

It's great-looking and very simple to operate. I don't have a lot of counter space, and this is a great fit. The color is a plus, too. If I had to do it again I'd repurchase this.

Perfect for apartment life. It fits great on a small countertop. No problems at all! I have a teal one in my work office due to the retro theme we have there. The red is 100% better!

Absolutely love this microwave! It's compact, works very well, and beyond cute! It fits in the smallbspace I have available and isn't terribly noisy!

It's good over all but could be better. It's nice looking, retro style and compact. It's lower wattage so takes a little longer to cook things than a bigger microwave. Where it could be better is in the preset options. It doesn't say what the preset numbers represent, it only has a number and a time. You have to look in the manual to see what each number means.

I've gained a lot of appreciation for Insignia products since I've been giving them a try over other well-known brands. Most of the time, the quality is on par with those other brands, but usually offered at a much lower cost. This Insignia .7 Cu. Ft. Retro Compact Microwave in Mint Green is no exception. Right out of the box, I was really pleased. Solidly built, stylishly retro, with easy to understand controls. The color even comes close to matching my mint green blender. I really like the control knob which you can turn to adjust the power level or chose a cooking pre-set. And the 'pull trigger' mechanism to open the door handle is kinda cool. There's also a handy Auto Menus sticker right there when you open the door. Because this compact microwave is only 700w, compared to the 1000w of my full-sized built-in microwave, cooking times will need to be adjusted accordingly. Keep that in mind when considering this appliance. While the exterior of the microwave is entirely made of metal (except for the door and control panel), I didn't notice the surface on any of the sides getting particularly "hot," merely a little warm to the touch, as expected. I'd not store anything meltable like chocolate on top, though. This Insignia .7 Cu. Ft. Retro Compact Microwave is well made and works great. I love mine, and can totally recommend. It is a good size for smaller kitchens, dorms, RVs, or just as a replacement microwave; especially if you're a fan of that 'retro look.'

Easy to use. Love the Retro Look. fits perfect in our limited available space...

This is a stylish, retro compact microwave that is perfect for someone that does not have a ton of free space in their home or someone just looking for a retro style look. It works really well and warms up and cooks food just as it states. There are preset programmed modes that you can utilize while in standby mode. A-1 would be the preset mode for popcorn. I suggest either printing a cheat sheet and keeping it by your microwave or keeping the handbook nearby. Once you click on the mode you want to use, turn the knob to add the weight and start to begin cooking. For a compact microwave, you can do a lot with it even with just a few buttons. You can adjust the power level and readjust it while your meal is cooking if you decide that you want to increase/decrease the power. Same goes with the amount of time for cooking, you can add 5 seconds if the timer is set for 1 minute or less. If it is 1-5 minutes, you can increase by 10 seconds and so on. Based on how long your meal is cooking or reheating is the amount you can increase it by. So you don't have to stop it completely, you can add a little bit at a time. You can also lock the microwave by holding the stop/cancel/power saving button for 3 seconds and the same button for 3 seconds to unlock it. Pretty easy, nice looking microwave that I would def recommend.

I love my microwave . The tuqoise colour is so soothing and my food get nice and warm in no time. Great quality and looks so pretty in my kitchen

Love my microwave. Cutest microwave I have ever seen. Love the size and it’s perfect in my home.

It’s color is so cute. Small enough for the area it’s in. Buttons are different like turning knob says like A1-2, etc. I just now press start a few times because it’s 30 seconds. Definitely recommend. Very happy with my purchase:)

My daughter loves the color and style of this microwave.

Perfect size for a small kitchen, very cute retro style and color. Easy to operate and keep clean!!

Love the design, and it works really well! Putting it in my college dorm this fall :)

This Insignia Retro Style Microwave is Awesome! It's much quieter than my old Kenmore microwave. I love the different array of colors that you can get for this microwave. Red is my favorite. It even has a light that comes on when you open the door. Operating it was a whole lot different than microwaves I've had in the past, but once you learn how to operate it, it's easy and fun. Overall, I absolutely love it! I would definitely recommend this microwave for anyone who's in to retro art deco styles. It's a very cool appliance.

Simple buttons and instructions. Really retro looking and goes well in my kitchen

it is cute and matches my kitchen , was easy to learn to use.

Wife wanted to downsize our microwave. This .07 cu. Ft. Insignia is just perfect. Also the cream color is just a great match for our kitchen. Easy to use and a cool look.
