Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the compact size, retro design, and appealing color of this microwave. Many appreciate its ease of use and stylish appearance, while some find the controls somewhat confusing and the power a bit lower than expected. Positive feedback also highlights its performance and price. A small number of users noted an unpleasant smell upon initial use.

    This little microwave is so cute and easy to use. I bought it for my pool house and my kids are able to operate it easily - it is perfect for small microwavable frozen meals/snacks!

    This microwave is perfect for my office! I wanted something I could reheat coffee or food in while I'm upstairs so I don't have to go back down to the kitchen. It took a few times to get used to the buttons but it's easy to use, looks great, and I was able to find a mini fridge at BB to go along with it for the perfect setup.

    Great color, size, and style. Fits perfectly in a dorm room, cooks the food nicely and figuring out the knob and buttons is pretty quick! I also have another at home and it works perfectly there too

    Works great! Easy to use. It's a 700-watt, so most cooking instructions I have to adjust by x1.7 min to get 1200 wattage (in case that is helpful to anyone else!). Once you actually read the manual, the cook settings are easy to use and remember. Overall, it's cute, it's sturdy and does the job.

    I love these microwaves. I have used one for many years. Unfortunately, the heating element burned out, so I had to get a new one. I am glad that Best Buy still carries these retro-looking ones. It looks great with my antique decor. I do not believe this one is as powerful as my previous one but it is easy to operate, heats my food in a reasonable amount of time, looks great, and matches my kitchen, so I am very pleased with all its aspects. My only negative is the cherry red. Not much to be unhappy about in the scheme of things!

    Soooo cool looking! We needed just a small microwave to fit in a custom cabinet, the only other one that fit is the one that we are replacing that rusted out in record time.. easy to use and love the retro look after watching the “Fallout” series.

    Wanted a small footprint microwave. Scored an out of the box deal (it had no damage) in a matching color to the retro mini frig. Delivery was fast - item works better than the full size one removed in my kitchen demo. Easy to understand without reading the manual. Five Star purchase. Highly recommend this - will work in a variety of settings/uses.

    Love this little RED RETRO microwave. Very compact, but powerful. Very easy to use and the RED COLOR just pops out in my white kitchen.. Love It! Insignia products are excellent quality. It always recommended to buy the Geek protection for 2 years which is so cheap and covers the product fully.

    This microwave was a housewarming present for my child, who was moving to a small apartment. It looks small, but it can do a lot. I cooked potatoes effortlessly in it. The features contain reheating and cooking functions. You can adjust the pre-programmed functions based on the serving size up to 3. We named it our "Little Strong Red." Easy to clean. This microwave is an ideal small appliance for a single household.
