Almost caused a fire in my apartment!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This microwave worked great for the year and a half until suddenly one day the panel inside next to the light started sparking and smoking when trying to use it. It happens after about 1-2 seconds of usage, the microwave also emits a scary loud noise when the sparks begin to fly.
Thank goodness I had Geek Squad, which came through for me, as I was able to exchange this for the newer 0.7 Cu. Ft. microwave in white. But this model is a serious fire hazard but thankfully it's been discontinued.
Don't even get this at discount. Avoid at all costs.

Premium designed microwave

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had to return this microwave because the 0.7 Cu. Ft. fit my space better. But the design is beautiful with sleek stainless steel finish and a big bright blue LED display. Definitely feels like a premium microwave but at more affordable than the other big brand names. Well worth the price!

Pleasantly compact microwave for tight spaces!

Love the look of this microwave! Minimal and compact designed microwave that's perfect for a small apartment or tight spaces. The white design also matches our kitchen decor. I do wish the LED clock had a blue color to match Insignia's other small kitchen appliances however.
As for the performance, it works perfectly as intended. Heats foods effectively. No complaints here!

The Insignia Portable Ice Maker with Auto Shut-Off produces up to 19 lbs.* of ice per day and stores up to 1.5 lbs. It creates ice every 6 to 13 minutes and has two cube size options. It has a large 2.1-quart water tank that recycles melted ice, so you can refill it less often. An electronic control panel with indicator lights make this portable ice maker easy to operate.

Best ice maker ever! Better than the last model!
on November 19, 2020
Posted by: Icaras
Verified Purchase:Yes
I owned the previous model from Insignia and let me say that this new model is a huge improvement! This review will largely compare the two models.
For starters, this one has a fresh new design that uses a sleek (plastic?) silver finish that is smooth and brighter looking than the standard brushed stainless steel look. I definitely find it much more aesthetically pleasing on the kitchen counter versus the last model. They've even cut the size and weight down while maintaining the ice capacity. Cooling seems more efficient as well as they've gotten rid of the intake vents on the left side. Controls now sit on the top near the back which is more subtle and also less prone to accidentally leaking or spilling water on the controls (as opening the lid effectively protects it now). I also dig the new white power cord as it blends well with my kitchen decor.
Lastly, this ice machine is quieter when dispensing ice as it now drops the ice one at a time. The last model would drop the ice all at once making for a louder noise.
Couldn't be happier!

Never struggle to fit an extension cord behind a hard-to-reach appliance or piece of furniture again. The Insignia 18" Low-Profile Extension Cable with a flat plug helps you reach those tight spaces. An 18" cord lets you power appliances such as power tools, electronics and much more, without the hassle of excess cable. A white color camouflages the cord allowing it to match with most modern electronics. The grounded outlet delivers reliable power and keeps your devices safe. Leave the struggles behind and extend the length of your existing power cord.

Flat angle plug fans rejoice!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Finally, Insignia improves on their previous short power extension cable by changing the plug to a flat angle design! Simple basic power extender but made much more effective with the new design. I've got this snug right behind my bed's headboard and works just as intended. The change to white is also a welcome change.

1 out of 5Obnoxious Blooming, Bad For Dark Room Viewing
By Moss
from Aurora, CO
Colors are more true-to-life and not as exaggerate as an OLED.
The blacks can get fairly inky with local dimming turned on.
Input response is good.
Sound is good.
Displays SDR video really well.
Viewing angle is not so good, especially in the dark.

Viewing angle is not so good, especially in the dark.
The biggest issue I have with this TV, is that it the blooming is OBNOXIOUS and extremely distracting!
Running the local dimming test, it looks like there are 4 massive vertical zones across the screen (each zone seems to have it's own uniformity issues), but could not detect any horizontally. The zones are so big that the blooming lights up nearly 1/4 of the screen, creating thick bands of bad uniformity between light and dark.
Turning off Local Dimming and turning down the Backlight mitigates some of it, but at the cost of blacks turning to milky grey and colors losing vibrancy.
If you watch a lot of horror movies like I do or you watch TV in the dark, this is a TERRIBLE VIEWING EXPERIENCE.
I would not buy this TV again and I hope Best Buy will allow me to return it.
Also, if you play Red Dead Redemption 2, the game looks really bad on this TV, but other games like Mortal Kombat, XCom 2 looked decent...

Blooming made me get the OLED TV
June 10, 2019
I was pretty annoyed by the blooming as well. Either have massive amounts of blooming or watch with gray blacks. Not a good compromise. Watching at night is very distracting indeed.

Sound effects are in full effect with 5.1.2. channels. High resolution audio and Dolby Atmos enrich you in detailed sound that comes from all the right angles. Dolby, Dolby Atmos and the double-D symbol are registered trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

1 out of 5Buying beware
By Donnie
Despite the high prices, LG soundbars are junk. My subwoofer died in the warranty period. LG product support keeps promising to send boxes to have it shipped to a repair facility. It's been 3 weeks and despite multiple attempts, nothing. They won't acknowledge emails

Agree with horrible LG support.
December 3, 2021
The subwoofer on my SN8YG just died, just 4 months after the warranty period expired. I was told I would be contacted about repairs within 2-3 business days and I'm on day 4 with still no word. I love LG products when they work, but once things break down and comes the time to deal with their customer support, buyer definitely beware!

LG doesn't honor warranty and this product is crap. I've tried multiple times to get my dead subwoofer repaired for 3 weeks. LG support is terrible. They keep promising to send boxes to get it repaired and I've received nothing.

LG customer support is a JOKE
December 8, 2021
I'm sorry that you're going through this. I just experienced this first hand just now whilst communication with their Twitter support. I contacted them a week ago and they were happy to set up a repair ticket for me in which they said LG would contact me within 2-3 days. One week later and nothing. Yesterday they said they would escalate the issue and to wait 48 more hours. And still nothing. I haven't even gotten a call or a shipping label. LG customer support is absolutely terrible!!

Pair the XG Mobile with an ROG Flow Z13, X13, or X16 device for one of the most versatile and complete systems. Despite being 6% of the size of typical eGPUs, this device harnesses an AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT Laptop GPU with 12GB GDDR6, clocked to 2463MHz at 165W with ROG Boost.
Who here is getting one for ROG Ally?
I will be too. But not from Best Buy if they keep this price.

Ordered TV but now worried about watching tv/movies in the dark. Is anybody having issues with this??
I am. I posted a review and should be up soon but the blooming is indeed annoying when watching in the dark. Check out the photo I attached to see how bad "LED local dimming" is when turned to maximum. I went ahead and got the OLED to replace the SM9000 and I couldn't be happier.
