    This is a perfectly fine microwave. Nothing exceptional - it does what a microwave is supposed to do and it comes in a nice compact footprint. It also looks decent. But we returned it because it has a large plug. Why Insignia didn't use a right angel plug is just bad design. Not only is the large plug an eye sore it is slightly inconvenient when you use the other part of the outlet a lot for other things - you have to go around the microwave plug. Very disappointing design flaw - it would have taken nothing to use a 90 degree plug. Otherwise it was fine, and we would have kept it.

    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.

    This microwave not only looks good with the black and steel that matched my kitchen perfectly but it also works great. It’s a space saver so I was concerned that it wouldn’t be as big but it’s the same size as my last microwave but fits better and looks great on the counter. I would recommend this.

    Purchased this microwave to replace ours in which a freak accident occurred that shattered the glass of our old one. This microwave, though smaller, is very efficient, easy to use, and perfect for the space we have it in. Very pleased with this microwave and was on sale as well! Would definitely recommend to anyone that is looking for a basic, speak, no frills microwave that works well.

    Title: Microwave Magic Without the Drama

    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.

    This little microwave is a work horse. I needed something more compact but still powerful. The biggest bowl I ever put in a microwave fits. A size bag of popcorn gets hung up and stops spinning with the turntable as it cooks, but it has not seemed to affect the cooking of the kernels. I am very happy with this unit--especially for the price.

    I needed a smaller microwave to fit in the nook of my cabinets and this was a perfect size. Even though it’s smaller than other microwaves it’s very efficient -heats up food great. The pictures do not do this product justice. It looks sleeker and better in person.
