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. |

Compact, nice looking and does the job
Easy to use and does the job but bear in mind that it is small, very small. Good for a couple or if you live alone. Would not reccomend for bigger quantities.
Xmas prese
I bought this along with the matching kettle and toaster for my grandson and his girlfriend
Smaller than you think
Overall its a good microwave – however it was smaller than expected. My fault for not checking properly however in my view it i overpriced for the size.

Easy to use
Mother is extremely happy. Easy to use and she understands how to use it.
Very happy
Happy. Right size. Basic functions but easy to use and exactly what we wanted.
Compact size
Very easy to use once you read the instructions. Has a fairly small footprint sits nicely on the worktop. compared to my previous 800watt micro it seems quieter but that could be because it`s new all in all a great little micro for the price.
Hey there good looking
Bought as a package but is a good microwave and looks good
Good microwave n quick 30 sec increment one touch butto
Its a good microwave for the amount you pay. We’ve had two in the family. Used with moderate usage. Dont expect it to last forever. It may not look the best – but hey then go buy the expensive ones – does what a microwave should full stop. Nothing more fancy
Good product but pricey
Bought this for our house kitchen, It does what it says on the tin, no fancy stuff. Just a standard microwave that has been reliable to me, writing this review a few months after purchasing. Happy with it, not sure how to clean it as instructions were not clear but apart from the price it’s a good basic microwave. Happy with it.

What every kitchen should have
Love this it’s so compact neat and attractive a great addition to my kitche
Excellent value for money
East to use, excellent value for money and preps food well
Nice microwave
It’s a nice microwave with a quick start 30 second incremental button. One slight issue is the digital display is not easily read when stood in front of the unit, it seems like the display is recessed?? Otherwise it’s a good microwave. JG Grimsby
Quite compac
Very easy to use x fits a large plate easily
Does what a microwave should
Great microwave – bought for student accommodation – everybody happy
Worth the money
Microwave still in good condition. A bit smaller inside for wider plates but it’s worth the money. Beautiful colour and delivery was on time when I ordered
Sleek
It is the exact size as my old one that I was replacing, but, the inside is smaller! Not a massive problem as my plates just about fit.
It’s sleek looking, small, easy to clean and works very well. However, the dials can be a bit fiddly and if you don’t use the defrost function, you will find that you will be needing the manual close by!

Beautiful if basic
This is a very stylish microwave and as we don’t use it much, it suits us perfectly as it looks great in the new kitchen. It’s not the best however so as long as you’re just wanting it for basic reheating etc you’re ok.
Compact, simple, quiet, stylish(ish)
Good microwave. Nice and simple controls. I hate having to go through a menu just to blitz beans for 2 minutes. With this you just bang the go button and it starts, keep pressing to add more time at 30sec a press. Great.
One issue. It is a little on the small size inside. You just, and I mean just, get a normal dinner plate in there. So its passable and usable. But the larger bowl I occasionally use no longer fits which is a shame.

Happy so fa
Arrived as predicted looks ok though a little smaller than I expected but does the job its supposed to. So far happy with this purchase
Great Microwave - check sizing of contents
I like the black ‘glass effect’ front look and the matte black exterior. Easy to clean. So simple to use. (Read the manual but didn’t need to – not even to set the time). Please check your plate size: this isn’t a ‘big’ microwave, but it does what I need perfectly.
Really good
Like the look, good brand and is easy to use. The only issue I had with this is that we had a 17l before and this is a 20l but it feels smaller which is odd.

Small but effective.
A great microwave that is perfect for smaller kitchens. It looks small but it does have room for quite a bit. I have a big family but only rely on a microwave to reheat food or make porridge for kids so this is perfect for me. Compact, easy to use and affordable.

Small but powerful
Really easy to use!!
Modern looking and really small – but still fits a standard plate in.
We needed for a little corner and it fits perfec
Easy to use – not too complicated like some microwaves. Fits a full size dinner plate in it and a pouch of rice stands upright too. Winner!
Good value
Lovely little microwave, smart looking and easy to keep clean. Can fit a microwave bag of rice in it. Good value for money.
Nice microwave
My years old microwave packed up, wanted a silver microwave to match everything else in kitchen but don’t use it that often to justify paying huge amounts, this microwave was good value and looks stylish, simple to use also..
Can't praise this product enough
Such a smart, modern looking microwave that instantly improves the look of your kitchen too.
Great microwave
Great microwave love it, had the older version before and lasted years. Was so happy to get the newer one. Easy to use
Good replacement for aged Microwave
Purchase this item on 3 things, Brand, features, price. I like Russell Hobbs, they have been a round for years. I was particularly looking for a digital timer, i don’t like the dial timers, not accurate and in a microwave seconds can decide on burnt or not. Microwaves are so cheap nowadays they are not worth repairing. This unit is to replace a microwave with i purchased from Tesco 4 years ago for 60 so not much has changed. In fact, the software on the Russell hobbs is exactly the same so i am thinking they may have made the Tesco Variant?

Small but takes my dinner plates.
Replacing a much larger unit but is fine for my purposes. Comprehensive facilities & instructions.
Its great, if a little confusing to use sometimes
Performs well and have had no issues. However, due to the circular nob you use to set the times etc, it can be oddly confusing at first. Once you know how it works there are no issues, but its not intuitive as other microwaves ive had have been. Thats my only main issue with it. Aside from that it has a good volume and can handle our large plates, has all the functions you’d expect (defrost and weight settings etc) and looks very sleek. Easy to clean too.

Okay. I’m a simple person with simple needs and this microwave goes a little above and beyond. Don’t get me wrong, it does the trick and does it well, but keep in mind when it arrives that you should, under no circumstances, throw away the instructions. Study and protect those sacred texts with your life, and keep them close at hand for when you inevitably need them because that day will come sooner than you think.
Also I never thought I’d miss the wee button that opens the door? Odd aside but just something that surprised me about myself.
Smaller than expected
Smaller than my last 20l but everything still fits in it. Looks good and does the job
Lovely microwave
Lovely microwave, and super reliable. Looks great and works very well. I just moved in to my first apartment and needed a microwave for 1 person. It fits a large plate and heats up food really quickly.
Smart microwave.
Looks great. Easy to clean. I’m hoping the inside doesn’t peel as microwaves tend to do after a year or two?!.
Really smart and heats stuff really well. I’d recommend it.
Cute little microwave
Decent little microwave. Looks pretty retro which is cool. Really easy to use – doesnt have 863738 different settings
Excellent value microwave.
Really good value. Tidy little microwave and easy to use.

This was bought for my sister and she likes it a lot.
Microwave
Does it job, only down side was I found it 20 cheaper at Morrisons in a sale after purchasing
I got this 20 litre version to replace a 23 litre version so it is decidedly smaller but I have no problems with anything fitting inside. In fact I like it better than the larger model because it doesn’t dominate the kitchen like the old one did. The waveguard cover is plastic ( card on the old one ) which makes it easy to clean.
There is a slight disadvantage to this black model because the inside is dark to check if it needs cleaning but this is minor.
Controls are pretty standard and straightforward (though I don’t like the trend to flush fitting buttons which don’t feel as secure as they used to ) and it is a pleasure to use.

Black Microwave, Shiny mirrored front, generally OK
It’s a microwave. It’s black, 800watt power, look ok.
My main gripe is the front isn’t the easiest to clean, it’s definitely like a mirror surface, not black like in some of the pictures (that would just be a black reflection in it).
It’s pretty basic but does the job and look OK. I wouldn’t pay more than the 59.99 I paid for it.
Makes my kitchen pop! Looks really expensive!
So worth the money it is sleek and sexy
fingerprints will get on it but that is not hard to clean! 🙂
I was very impressed when I opened the box
I was initially looking for a good value for money microwave from a well known brand name.
I was very impressed when I opened the box revealing the gorgeous mirrored door which compliments the black finish very well.
Great sale price and value for money, easy to use and keep clean. The glass door shines up well. ( give it a quick burr up after use).
A great edition to our family kitchen.
Bought this microwave around a month ago, it was smaller that I expected (it can be hard to work out the size using volume) but everything I’ve wanted to get there has fitted perfectly.
Using the microwave is fine, but its UX isn’t going to blow anyone away. I wouldn’t bother with the programs, they’re not much use, and the power indicator isn’t intuitive, most instructions for products you’re going to microwave specify watts, but this uses a percentage of the full power.
The start button doubling as a “set a 30 second timer and start” is useful and it how I end up using this most of the time as it’s a great 1 touch function. Once started the start button also adds 30 seconds to the timer, so the majority of the time, I’ll just set the time and start with multiple presses of the start button. I previously had a much larger, non-turntable microwave, but this works just fine and cooks food more evenly. I mostly use the Microwave for defrosting meals that I’ve cooked and frozen and it does that without any issues.
Overall the microwave looks great but the glass door seems to pick up (and highlight) fingerprints quickly.
It’s a microwave that serves its purpose just fine, nothing more nothing less.

Great microwave, easy to use, easy to clean, love the look of it, size is good, smaller than the one I used to have, however I prefer this one. Would definitely recommend!
This is a very economical microwave and it heats food well, just a couple of minor niggles. First the bleeping at the end of cooking is quite loud and if you don’t open the door it bleeps 5 times which is annoying. Secondly although there is a full sized glass plate the protrusion on the inside wall of the microwave makes it difficult to heat two containers next to one another without resting one on the edge of the other.
Stylish compact design.
Stylish and compact. Looks good on worktop. It has been designed to take up minimum space. Probably not suitable for family use, but fine for single or couple. Slightly less high inside than my previous microwave, but this only affects a larger steamer I use for jam making. Have to put the lid on with handle inside. A normal sized plate will fit. Microwave is ingeniously designed to allow this.
Only quibble is I find I have to allow slightly longer cooking times, especially on defrost, than my previous oven, even though both are/was 800w

The best microwave I’ve had
Love this microwave, it is so easy to use and the handle on the door makes it very easy to open, unlike my last microwave were you had to press a button that I found got stiffer with age. For value for money it is second to none. It came really well package

Looks and works great.
Looks great and works well. Compact size that will fit in most places. Just get used to wiping it often if finger prints on the mirrored surface bother you.
just right for my needs
I like the size easy to use came in handy when I had visitors and helped in with the cooking of meals along with my cooke
The product and delivery was very good… it was a bit pricey but works really well but not very spacious inside the microwave.
Great Quality
I’ve had it for 2 years and never had I problem, good size, easy to use, works perfectly. I wish I hadn’t sold it when I moved to my new place as the integrated one we have now is rubbish…
Trusty Russell Hobbs
Top quality item from Russell Hobbs, this is my second microwave from them, the first one lasted 7 years. Various preset functions to help make heating/defrosting foods simple. Easy to use and can be cleaned easily. The colour matches my kitchen which is an added bonus.

Beautiful microwave.
My only difficulty was to understand in what row to press the buttons to make it work, if you are like myself that like super easy please patiently read the manual. Except of this an excellent microwave, does the job, it’s not making noice, it got a sound when the timer is off and auto stop and it got nice design. Easy to clean too.

Great and heats really fas
First thing I microwaved was popcorn, usually 3 mins is enough, this one only needed 2 minutes before my kitchen smelt like burnt popcorn…doh. Once the smell had gone after. Few uses, smells better. There are settings to cook on a lower power, but obviously I didn’t do that the first time.

Inside a little small
The inside is small compared to how the outside looks, easy to use, only just takes a dinner plate.
Very small/Compac
Lovely microwave and does the job but very small inside and mirror finished door is a nightmare to keep clean.
There was no manual and different packaging box. But item looks like new few scratches but not really noticeable.
Mirror finish easy to clea
Apart from me not releasing that this slightly smaller than your average microwave, it’s a great stylish product even though it’s on the smaller side it will hold your large plates!

Compact, does its job. Can just aboutfit a dinner plate but nothing bigger.
Ticks all the boxes
Microwaves don’t seem to last long these days, so I wanted a big brand, digital, easy to use, variable power , affordable machine, and this is it.
It has a one year warranty, with the option to buy two more years.
Ping!!!! Easy to use.
Easy top use, looks good and fast delivery. Perfect for the home or office kitchen. Fits large plates.

Great microwave. Simple and easy to use. Looks good and fits well in my kitchen.
Perfect microwave - still using it everyday!
Still using this great microwave to this date and I’ve had it over 3 or 4 months now. Perfect, and it’s not as big as other microwave but can still fit a huge plate with mountains of food on it too warm it up.
Microwave
Very attractive looking microwave, so far, so good, no problems.
Stunning to look at and makes a cheeky mirror in the kitchen when clean. Heats up food as you would expect however the inside of the microwave is relatively small. If, like me you have squared plates then you will struggle to fit them in this microwave.

Great little microwave. doesn’t take up a lot of space on worktop and had no problems with using it. Even my mum worked out how to use it when she stays
Securely packaged and very quick delivery. Excellent value. The microwave looks great with mirrored door finish. Instructions are easy to understand and the function buttons are simple to use. Size is good and a dinner plate fits in easily.

Bought as a gift. Great price and according to my brother, a great microwave
Looks great, works great.
Been using it for about a month or so now. I’d say it was the best Microwave you can get for the money! It’s very aesthetically pleasing with it’s mirrored door and display. Haven’t had any problems with it so far and we use it a lot! Very pleased with it.
Really good value as i bought on lightening deal.
Nice compact micro, you cannot fit a full size dinner plate in it but all we use ours for is heating milk, cooking pea’s and defrosting so it’s perfect.
Has a quick cook 30 sec button which you can press multiple times rather than going into the timer function which is good.. again for heating milk.
Nice sleek look to outside with a mirror front to the glass (which is a pain to keep shiny but does look sleek when it is)
My only negative is the racket it makes when it finishes which is 5 piercing beeps, which is enough and the fact that the digital display is red.. just feels a bit 80’s
But overall it is very good.
Was slightly smaller than i expected but I didnt pay too much attention to the dimensions, this means some of our dinner plates do not fit into it. But overall it is very good.
