Microwave Hints and Tips

|---|---|---|
About your Russell Hobbs microwaveMicrowave ovens do not generate any heat themselves but instead cause water molecules in food to vibrate. This vibration produces heat that cooks the food. This is why your food will come out of the microwave piping hot, when your utensils inside the microwave stay much cooler. Microwaves cannot go through metal, so the inside of the appliance is lined with metal. The door is lined with a fine metal mesh which stops microwaves getting through. Cleaning Avoid using scouring pads, steel wool or other abrasives. Warm soapy water and a sponge should get rid of all moisture and food spillages. | How to get the best cooking resultsReheat With 5 microwave power levels to choose from, you can ensure all your food is cooked or re-heated to the perfect temperature. Auto-Defrost This microwave has automatic defrost settings, all you have to do is input the weight of the food, and the microwave selects the ideal defrost time. Auto Cook Menus The RHM2076’s also features pre-programmed auto cook menus such as pizza, fish and popcorn, allowing you to cook all your favourite food at the push of a button. | Hints and tipsTo avoid any microwave mishaps it is recommended to take extra care with the following: Low moisture foods (eg. cereals, bagels, dried pasta, pulses and chocolate) – These must be cooked on a low power level for a very short length of time, or preferably not at all. High sugar content foods (eg. jams, syrups) – These foods can become easily ‘super-heated’ when cooked in a microwave oven. Foods containing alcohol – Foods with an alcohol content must not be cooked in a microwave as they could ignite. Foods with a membrane or outer skin (eg. fruits, sausages, potatoes) – Food with a sealed or none porous skin must be pierced to allow pressure and steam to escape. |

This one really does have a clock not like the last one we bought from Argos which was 20 more expensive than B&M a week ago, not 100% sure 20 litres I calculate 18 litres but used it for a couple of days, and got the true 20 litre old one going again (new magnetron & mica window) a Morphy Richards to use from now on…..:-) We got 3 microwaves now…..:-) What a fiasco that was! So we have 2 Russell Hobbs microwaves up for sale soon! One without a clock timer and one with an inside light and clock timer…..
The controls are not intuitive. It would feel more natural if the knob turned clockwise to bring up the timer, and anti clock wise for the presets. How often does anybody use the presets or understand them?
5 stars. This microwave gets the full ‘Top Banana’ rating
Great quality product, as you would expect form Russell Hobbs
The black finish is sleek and looks stylish. I like how the inside is a grey-ish colour, rather than white. The buttons are simple to understand and easy to press, even with arthritis in my hands
The noise at the end of the process is 5 digital beeps, which is handy just in case you don’t hear the first four
It comes with clear instructions that it is for food and drink only. Don’t be putting any hot water bottles, heat pads etc in there or it can cause fires
The power and performance are what you would expect from a well-known, reliable brand
It’s nice that the display is digital and you can set the clock, if you like, or it just remains on 00:00
Great microwave for 67. Highly recommended
This item is faulty. There is a hole in the door. This happened last week. I have already reported this but I’ve had no contact from yourselves. Can you tell me what’s happening please. I cannot use the microwave and needed it sorted. I was told someone would pick it up on Monday 12th of August. Is this right.
The instructions are in a very clear big font so it’s very easy to read. The microwave itself I found was pretty easy to use. I did have to reference the instructions for a couple of things like setting the clock and setting the power level but it wasn’t difficult.
The weight of the microwave is pretty standard for a microwave this size. It’s a pretty small microwave considering others on the market so this is probably one of the more lighter microwaves I have ever purchased.
I have only used the microwave on max power but, it’s had no issues heating up my food and the noise of the microwave while it is being used is pretty standard.
I absolutely love the mirror finish door. It just looks so nice in my kitchen. The only downside is, you’ve got to keep it clean otherwise any dirt marks are more visible than a standard painted door. The only thing I will say is viewing my food through the door is possible but, I don’t have the best view as with other microwaves.
The light inside is pretty standard for a microwave, it’s a ‘warm white’ colour which makes viewing inside the microwave nice and easy.
I like the feature of having the clock on the front of the microwave while it’s on standby. The only thing I would like is to be able to change the colour of the LED’s from red to blue or even just a nice white. I wouldn’t say I’m the biggest fan of the red.
This microwave is absolutely perfect for what I need and I’m extremely chuffed.
I cannot recommend this microwave enough. It’s super simple but does the job absolutely perfect.
I find the microwave easy to clean but the only thing I would mark it down on is, it would have been nice to have an enamel cavity wall inside. I expect this microwave may suffer from rust in the future but, time will tell.
For the features this microwave has, I think the price is about right.
So we had to do our research to find another suitable Microwave, that would suit our needs for “not too big, but not too small”, powerful enough at 800w and with some easy to use functionality (just a few buttons with digital display and some quick access functions) and finally smart looking as our previous oven looked somewhat a bit industrial. The Russell Hobbs RHM2076B 20 Litre 800 W Black Digital Solo Microwave check all the boxes as well as being good value for money too. We have been using it flat out daily since we bought it and it is doing a great job, being very easy to use (very intuitive functions), saving us a lot of time whilst looking neat and smart on our kitchen worktop. it is nice and quiet, smooth in operation and everything feels quality like, from the buttons press to the door opening closing. It is also very easy to clean and keep clean with simple flat bold surfaces and not too many nooks and crannies, buttons, etc… Very easy to live with and I would highly recommend.
Great for a small kitchen. Max heat is 800w which is fine for most foods. Looks good, its lightweight and controls are very easy. A standard dinner plate rotates inside no problem. Would recommend for anyone wanting a microwave.
However even though user manual printer in big easy read print ? I feel a university degree is needed.
It will take me a while to understand HOW to use.
But you can do lots within. ( just not simply)
It even has a setting you can have it turn on at a separate time pre programed.
With respective wantedabutton for minutes and seconds
A power and start button.. I would of been happy
Now happy and confused.10 /10
Efficiency (4.5/5):
This microwave knows how to get the job done fast. Whether it’s reheating leftovers or popping some popcorn for movie night, it’s quick and efficient. No more waiting around for your food to warm up.
Spaciousness (4/5):
With a 20-liter capacity, it’s got enough room to handle all sorts of dishes, but it won’t eat up your entire counter space. Perfect for a small kitchen like mine.
Digital Controls (4/5):
The digital controls are super user-friendly. You won’t need a degree in rocket science to figure out how to use it. Plus, the LED display looks pretty sleek.
800W Power (4/5):
The 800W power is no joke. It heats things up evenly and quickly, so you won’t end up with cold spots in your food. That’s a big win.
Design (4/5):
I have to admit, it looks pretty snazzy in black. It’s a nice departure from the typical stainless steel microwaves you see everywhere. It adds a touch of style to the kitchen.
Price and Value (4/5):
Considering the performance and features, it’s reasonably priced. You’re getting a reliable microwave that won’t break the bank.
In Conclusion:
The Russell Hobbs RHM2076B Microwave is a kitchen essential that makes life easier. It’s fast, spacious, and looks good doing its job. Whether you’re a cooking novice or a seasoned pro, this microwave simplifies your meal prep game. I’ve been using it for everything from reheating leftovers to making quick snacks, and it’s become a trusty kitchen companion. It’s not just a microwave; it’s a time-saving kitchen buddy that adds convenience to your daily routine. Get one, and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it!
My granddaughter asked for a microwave for her birthday, she loves it and has given it 10/10, says its easy to use and clean, has used it a lot in the past month since her birthday.
Old microwave was at least 15yrs before it gave up, just wanted something simple to replace it as only ever use a microwave to microwave stuff!
Looks really nice, thought the mirrored door might be hard to keep clean, however, it’s easy, and wasn’t sure if I’d be able to see stuff bubbling over inside, but I can.
Also looks small, but a full size plate goes in, so all good there.
Took me ages to choose the microwave I wanted. I visited the usual high street shops to look in person but they were either what I wanted and far too expensive or cheap and rubbish.
This is a lovely looking microwave that ticks all the boxes of what I wanted at a good price.
As a bonus the glass dish is exactly the same size as my old one, so I’ve kept it ‘Just in case’ as a backup.
If you’re undecided I guarantee this one is much better looking than the pictures portray.
Excellent for the price – looks smart, albeit the red LED display looks a bit cheap. Controls are not that intuitive (without reading the manual!) but you get used to it within a few uses. 100% happy, especially for the price
Lovely microwave but the mirror door will get on your nerves because every time you touch it there’s marks left on the mirror and your constantly cleaning it apart from that it’s perfect.
Had my last one for 25 years, replaced it with this one a wise choice, cooks in half the time, value for money & many functions that I wont use but its fantastic for my basic cooking
Slick look, good features and well made. Small in size bit does everything you would want it to do. My only issue is that you need to turn the dial back and then forward to put on the timer.
Only issue I have is that the glass plate is very loose on the turning pivot. Pivot needs to be slightly higher to make a better connection with the plate.
Pros
– Mirror door looks lovely
– Overall black looks great
– Easy to use and understand functions
– Easy install
– Good 800w power
– Hopefully as reliable as my other one from Russell Hobbs that lasted over 10 years!
Bad
– Mirror finish may be fingerprint magnet if you have kids
TLDR – Lovely jubbly very simple microwave so far!
Happy with our microwave. It was easy to set up, has a clear booklet with instructions, and easy to keep clean.
I was very impressed with those items and I will buy more in future
Good quality, easy to use, very happy with my purchase
We bought this to replace same one that was old. Didnt bother researching others as very pleased with this one. Just what we need.
Noticeably faster heating more than other cheap 800W microwaves we have purchased. We own and maintain six microwaves. It has all the features that you will likely never use. Good value. Works very well so far.
A really nice looking microwave, does what you’d expect it to do. Easy to operate and comes with an instruction booklet. Good value
The microwave does the basics really well and I can’t fault it in terms of how easy it to use. When it arrived it was packaged as you would expect – in it’s box with the usual polystyrene etc.
It works well and it does what a microwave should do. I would say the only issue is the light when opening the door is slightly dim.
The display is easy to read and it heats food all the way through in a short amount of time.
Overall for the price you pay this is worth a punt.
A replacement for the one i had before which was the same
Love this microwave it’s tidy neat and everything I want in a microwave.just what I want on my work top.
The buttons for starting it are a bit fiddly
But works fine and nice looking appliance.
Fits a 10″ dinner plate, very simple to use and does the job.
Had this microwave for years Bought this one identical to replace it when it packs up.
Looks amazing and does what it’s suppose to do, happy with my purchase.
I love this microwave. It is easy to use and clean. It warms up things quickly. Recommend
This microwave is the best we’ve had. Plenty of room, simple but modern externally, easy to use buttons. Quick and effective for defrosting, warming and cooking. A great buy.
Great microwave, looks excellent in the kitchen. Makes boiling hot, cold food like every other microwave I’ve had . Only real downside is that the cooking space is quite small, it’s width will fit a dinner plate but not much more.
I already had this microwave, so when my mothers old one blew up it was a no brainer to order her the same as mine.
It is easy to use and does what its suppose to and looks good.
I would highly recommend!
As the headline says, great replacement for our knackered old Microwave, easy to use and does a great job
This arrived almost instantly for use at Christmas – thinking of the Christmas Pudding!
It looks very good and other members of the family think it’s a life saver, but I have not had a need to use it regularly, am still a novice microwave operator.

Easy enough to use, but I would say an ideal price for this would be 50. To me it is too expensive for what it does
Very pleased with this item. After using for a while I am delighted with the ease of use.

Arrived well packaged very quickly. I needed a compact microwave and this model fits the bill. Easy to use the controls. Nice looking microwave and good value
Great quality. Silent. Easy to use and a beautiful design.
Compact and very easy to use. It fits a large dinner plate just about so probably more suited to an individual rather than family. The front is reflective and hard to see through but it’s not something that bothers me, unless you like staring at your food while its cooking.
I like the look but I struggle with the instructions. Apart from that it seems to be a good microwave.
Very good product, first class and a pleasure to use.
Easy to understand controls. It’s compact so large plates eg 30cm+ won’t quite fit.
Easy to use, what you see is what you get.
I wanted a basic microwave, as I don’t use it for proper cooking, so this was perfect. 800 watt is quick, settings easy to do, looks good in the kitchen. Good value for money.
Simple to use, easy to clean. Replacement for an older model but this one more stylish.
Works well really does a nice job cavity just a bit smaller than I’m used to but otherwise it all good I like i
This is the best Microwave I have had in ages, and I’ve had a few right from the start of the microwave age. I have been pleasantly rewarded with good results. Comes highly recommended.

Great compact microwave oven. Works well and it’s quiet and easy to use. What more can you ask for?
I’m 100% satisfied with this purchase! It’s so easy to use and the quality is very good!
Product as it shows. But coming from Australia where you can find the similar microwave for 30-50 dollars, the cost seems way too high.
Great microwave. Easy to use and clean. Arrived next day and not had a single problem. Looks nice as well
Wish it was higher watt but overall really good for the price
I love my new microwave and so thankful too. Thought big plates are hard to put inside the microwave, it’s a beautiful design and puts the kitchen together. I love the mirror and the digital buttons. I am really happy

Pretty nice but you don’t get a microwave cover with it. Its working fine so far had it for I think 3 to 4 months so can’t say much. It don’t exactly like the controls of it cause it’s a bit odd but you get use to i
Really smart looking in the kitchen. Easy to use and clean. Very happy.
This microwave looks very modern and expensive and is not too big or too noisy. Its not the easiest to figure out how to use it but once you do it’s simple enough. Great microwave for the price.
Excellent product. Perfectly packed. Arrived in time with prime. Easy to operate with all the cooking modes, etc as described in the manual. Happy with my purchase. Great stuff overall!

We have been having this microwave oven for more than 4 years, still as new and no faults at all. Really recommend
Pretty much what I was expecting. No problems so fa
Very happy with this item, a little late arriving, but worth the wait.
It’s a good microwave that is stylish as well. Size probably not enough if you want to heat very large plates/portions.
Easy to use.
We only use a microwave to heat up left overs and most recently sterilising bottles. This is great, quick touch buttons.
A bit niche but might help someone who like us needs a microwave quick for a specific purpose – It fits the nuk steriliser in (the big dome one)

Smart & very neat in my kitchen, bought to replace a bulkier micro, which I needed a degree to operate 🙂
Very good Microwave. But beware this dosnt accept normal dinner plates. Check on the dimentions before you buy. Im trying to loose weight so have bought a smaller plate. Simples!
This was smaller than I thought but looks great. Cooks really well
Easy clean stylish a bit more pricey but definitely worth the extra. I expect it to last longer too.
Happy with everything except the door has such a mirrored finish that you can’t actually see inside whilst it’s cooking to see if it’s spitting or boiling over.
Love the 30sec auto button and how you can turn knob one click anti clockwise then clockwise to add bigger times.
Let’s face it, anyone only ever used max temp anyway
Was not as big as I expected but meets my needs .Outside finish good .
So far no complaints. Perfect size and does what it says on the tim. Would recommend.
Easy to use cooks well .it dose not vent off the steam and is soaking wet when finished cooking some things and need to be dried with tea towel

Slightly fiddly to clean due to humps and bumps in the interior. Does what it is supposed to do. Not sure about the reflective glass in the front and difficulty in seeing what is happened through the door.
It’s compact in design, the capacity inside is not massive, good enough to seat a standard plate size though, simple menu, the auto defrost works a charm – much better than my aging old microwave, easy to clean, decent price.
