I needed a basic microwave for myself, because I am the only regular user I just wanted something basic.
Bought this one and had it for two weeks now, it’s doing its job fine. It’s the same price bracket as some digital microwaves in the supermarkets, if you want value for money, buy one of those.
I specifically wanted a manual one with no programs and it does that fine, no complaints about heating up food really.
Between this and the honeycomb white manual one from the same brand, this one has the better pattern in my opinion.
Some reviews mentioned slippery dials and they are right. The machine was basically impossible to use out of the box with wet hands, the timer did not move at all. Even with dry hands it was a bit stiff.
After two weeks of use I can recommend this microwave, eventually the dials became easier to turn, and I can use mine without any problems, the dial turns even if your hands are completely soaked.
I like the microwave, but can’t give a 5 star rating because of that one issue with it.
good price
Not a special microwave. Basic one few annoying things i found if you put in something less than 3 mins you have to turn pass 3 then work out the time your self . Also i wasnt sure about this but the mircowave i had before had a good clear light inside so you can see whats going on. Sadly i found this inside light a bit poo
easy to use Microwave
Good size Microwave for housing in kitchen unit. Simple controls
good looking but not very good handle
The microwave deliveried very fast. So far everything is ok, heating very quickly.
Good value for money
Tired of microwaves with dozens of options that we never use so just wanted a simple one that didn’t look cheap. This one looks great, is easy to clean and love having a handle to open the door.
Small but nice.
Just what I wanted, a small but ideal microwave. I live alone and this size mirowave is perfect for my needs. If you have a family this would not be any good for you.
We sat to use good value for money.
Compact size but maybe little too compac
Compact size which is what I needed. Simplified dials, low to high. And other dial 1 to 30 mins. Pretty too. Loud ping. HOWEVER, stick a bag of uncle ben rice in , go on I dare you, it doesn’t fit! I have to lie the bag on its side!
Sleek & effective
Absolutely love the look of this microwave. Good value for money slightly tedious that you need to turn the dial past two minutes then back for any time less than 2 mins!
Great microwave
Really nice microwave, not loud, easy to clean.
My only note is that the turn dials are a little difficult if you have any mobility problems with your hands, as they can be difficult to grip.
Purposeful
This is a straight to the point design and heats up very fast. However the knobs should have some notches so I can twist with damp fingers.

Microwave
This is a very smart looking microwave and goes with the other 2 kitchen items (kettle & toaster). Easy to clean and simple to use. My only issue with this, is the price. My last microwave recently gave up the ghost after 10 years, which was an Asda special, was a fraction of the price, was also a 700 watt but with a digital display and clock. Not quite sure what I’m getting for the price of this one other than it looks a bit nicer. Any way. It looks nice and it’s expensive. If you want something that does the exact same that looks less ‘fancy’ buy one from Asda. If this lasts 10years I’ll be AMAZED!
Looks good and easy to use
Excellent to use the best thing is that it’s not digital very good for me because of poor eyesigh

Arrived today.
Our grey microwave arrived earlier and it’s easy peasy to use. Yes the label left a little sticky behind it, but it’s not an issue. Gently rubbing with finger end melts it, and it’s off! I hope it lasts like our last one, same brand. We just replaced our toaster and kettle, because they weren’t efficient, we bought the microwave to match. We’re giving the other microwave to someone who needs one. Happy so far!
Good looking. Good price
Really nice looking and fair price. Basic bit does what I need it to

Adds style to my kitchen love the colour and perfect with my kettle and toaster alright for the money
Nice small microwave
Visually nice microwave that blends in well with my kitchen. Not the largest interior but fine for my needs. Good value money.
The timer knob
The microwave is a lot faster at heating up stuff than our old(3yrs) Microwave
Our Sony was 1300w
This 700w
But the speed is unbelievable…tried it with a cup of water…2mins…boiling
The
Only downside
The timer knob
Very very hard to turn…use a towel for grip …
Iv got big strong hands and this knob my 80yr old mum would struggle with
She would end up getting a pair of mull grips on it
Honestly it’s bloody hard to tu
Looks good!
Bought this to replace an 18 year old microwave. Very simple to operate cooks well and looks very smart. It’s physically slightly smaller than the old one which meant our old steamer containers wouldn’t fit height wise, so ended having to replace them.

A beautiful retro, cute and practical microwave
A beautiful and very functional microwave. It does everything I want and it is very easy to use as you can see on the photos. It is small and compact but big enough to fit plates, bowls, microwavable dishes. Jacket potatoes cook in 11 or 12 minutes. To reheat a soup bowl, about 2 minutes. So even if it is only 700 watts, it works fine. You even have the defrost function and 6 levels of power. Ideal and so cute! Mine is grey, with a mirrored glass in dark grey and chrome handle and knobs. I strongly recommend it and I only paid 67 pounds, so it did not break the budget. Well done, Russell Hobbs.

Excellent quality item, well packaged and delivered promptly.
Purchased from Amazon because I wasn’t able to get the item from the range in any local retail outlets.
Would highly recommend this item.

Nifty little microwave
Attractive easy to use compact yet fits full size dinner plate. Good value for money
Ok but just ok
You can’t get a time perfect as it’s a twist timer so 1 min 30 is difficult ec
Average
It’s almost a week now since I bought this, overall the microwave is good, but the only drawback is that timer knob, they are hard to rotate, the hands should be dried to use that thing. Or else you gonna have hard time using this thing.

Looks nice in my Kitche
Looks very nice in my kitchen and goes well with all other appliances. Very easy to use and to keep clean.
Sleek and functional
Stylish – the radial dials (no digital clock) make it tricky to get exact times or power modes, but it absolutely works and is super nice looking.
It's small
I keep forgetting how small it is but to be fair, it does what it says on the tin and looks OK
Great modern and good value
Fits so well in with my other appliances and modern just what I was hoping fo

Another part of the Inspire range from Russell hobbs. It is easy to use and looks the part. As with the rest of the Inspire range it is plastic on the outside but don’t let that put you off.
Lovely
Very nice but it is hard to turn the power button x
Always had Russel Hobbs kitchen wear and was time for a new microwave.. just like the last russel Hobbs microwave I had, looks neat easy to clean and more importantly easy to use (for children) thanks !!
Looks great in my kitche
Nice little microwave. Only 700W but does the job. Design is nice and it’s very easy to use. Good value for money.
