Really happy with this microwave. It has plenty of room for a compact unit — fits my dinner plates with no issues. The power is great and heats food evenly. I especially love that you can mute all the sounds — perfect for early mornings or late nights. The door handle is super convenient and well-designed. Overall, awesome value for the price. I’d definitely recommend it to friends!

I needed to replace my 15 year old over the range beast of a microwave. I didn't want to break the bank to replace it and was looking for something that was economical, compact, powerful enough and didn't look cheap. This microwave checked all the boxes. Don't be fool by it size, it is powerful enough to fit my needs and the stainless steel makes it look more expensive than its price tag. I bought it at $80 and I doubt you could find a better microwave at this price range.

Insignia microwave review

The Insignia microwave has less power than my previous microwave so it took several uses to figure out the time I needed to cook foods. I like the easy 1-5 minute cooking feature & the easy :30 cooking use. The interior holds regular size plates & bowls without a problem. The dark buttons are hard for me to see at times. Overall, it's a good value for the price.

Title: Microwave Magic Without the Drama

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
If you’re looking for a microwave that does what a microwave is supposed to do—warm your leftovers, pop your popcorn without turning it into charcoal, and defrost your chicken without partially cooking it—this is the one.
With 900 watts of power, it strikes that sweet spot between “I need this hot fast” and “I don’t want my electric bill to scream at me.” The sleek, stainless steel design is refreshingly minimal—no giant, clunky spaceship vibes here. It blends right in on the countertop, quietly minding its business until called upon.
One of my favorite things? It doesn’t throw a fit the second your food is done. It waits a respectful minute before it starts beeping at you like your mom reminding you to take the trash out. Love that for us.
Now, about the safety lock—bless its heart. Great if you’ve got tiny humans around. But for someone in a child-free apartment with walls thin enough to hear your neighbor’s cat sneeze? It can feel like I’m being obnoxiously loud every time I close the microwave’s door. It’s a small price to pay for peace of mind, I guess.
Overall, I’m impressed. It’s efficient, stylish, and doesn’t act like it’s the boss of your kitchen. Solid 4.5/5 from me.

I don’t have much counter space in my kitchen., so this little guy fits just right. It’s quite powerful and the many settings work out perfectly for me. My large dinner plates fit inside & turn quite easily on the turntable. The inside light is bright and does a great job lighting up the interior. I bought it on sale which made it even better.

I'm very satisfied with my recent purchase at Best Buy. I was in need of a new Microwave as my old one finally "bit the dust! As many people experience, we never have enough real estate in our kitchens. I asked the friendly sales person to help me find something for a good price and nice enough to to suit my needs. I was shown several options and decided to purchase the Insignia brand ( that would be the Best Buy's brand. It was the right size at the right price for me. It's easy to use with a friendly menu and I'm very satisfied with this new addition to my tiny kitchen. Thanks Best Buy for all your guidance!

It can be a bit temperamental, however after playing with a few buttons, it works very well. It’s a perfect size for my little countertop and I can recommend it. Aside from being very cute, it does a wonderful job on many of my foods.
