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. |

Excellent microwave
We are very pleased with this lovely looking microwave, works great, super easy to use, nice size too, smaller than our old one which is a bonus, the mirror effect door is a nice touch. Would buy again.
This is a good microwave oven. Relatively easy to use and does the job as required. From quick reheats to cooking raw ingredients it is efficient and very capable. Being a 20ltr microwave it is a good size that fits well on the kitchen worktops. I appreciate that there are many other more expensive and complex microwaves available but this one is good value and meets our needs perfectly.
Microwave
The microwave is not very big inside if you need it for families but what we use it for its plenty big enough. It’s easy to use and easy to clean the only thing I don’t like is the mirror door it shows every mark so you have to be careful not to touch the doo
This truly looks very smart in real life. Sometimes pictures are deceiving but this is as described.
Performs well, really super easy to programme the clock and I’ve only used the 30 sec timer so far but working great.
Love that it has a light inside and the mirror front becomes like a small window so you can see the food inside when it’s being used. Goes back to a perfectly mirrored door when not in use.
Truly really nice looking micriwave- I normally choose stainless steel microwaves but so pleased I took a chance on a black/grey one for a change.
A great replacement for our five year old manual setting Beko microwave that’s sadly kicked the bucket now
Pros:
-800w, quick to heat
-quick settings (start button starts a 30min timer)
-looks stunning!!!
-no gills on the top, so no dust entering the insides as easily
-reasonably compact
Cons:
-wobbly turntable (inside) that often needs readjustment
-dial is too sensitive so you can accidentally start auto programs instead of just the timer (happens quite often if you’re not looking and doing it mechanically…as you do)
-maybe a little too small for tall utensils but that’s me nitpicking. Product dimensions are available online so pls do your homework.
Would recommend!
After ordering I realised that it was smaller than my 23L Samsung microwave I bought here on Amazon just over 4 years ago, so I tried to cancel it.
Unfortunately I was too late to cancel (Although it hadn’t been dispatched yet, and as far as I remember, I’m positive you could cancel an order on Amazon no problem if it hadn’t been dispatched)
Anyway it arrived and I thought be as well check it out as maybe the 3l difference wouldn’t be that noticeable.
And I was desperate for a new microwave because my Samsung one isn’t turning smoothly anymore.
Unfortunately the 3l difference was very noticeable.
I use the microwave mainly for cooking meals on wheels.
The smaller containers fit in no problem but the longer rectangle ones (which is main meals, and make up most of my orders) hit the walls when turning, interfering with the smooth turning, not good.
Also there is no reminder beeps when food needed to stand for a minute mid cooking or at the end of cooking. (Which is a must for my disability)
My Samsung one has these minute reminder beeps, at mid cooking and 2 separate minute ones at the end of cooking.
It’s a pity it wasn’t 23L & had the reminder beeps because I actually really liked the look of it.
I also really liked the feel of the dial operation compared to my Samsung one.
I liked the mirror door too.
I thought you wouldn’t be able to see through it while cooking but you can when you stand back.
I saw through it better than my Samsung one.
I would have definitely kept it if it was 23L and had reminder beeps.
.
Collection was booked for this morning between 10.30- 12.30.
Amazon said the refund would be in my Amazon wallet/account soon as it was collected.
I have sat all day looking at all the microwaves on Amazon trying to find a replacement 23l one that has reminder beeps.
Which meant having to read thousands of reviews in the hoping someone mentioned this.
(Q&A seems to have vanished on products)
I finally found one where someone said had these beeps and decided to buy it even though it was another Samsung one which has quite a dark door and hard to see through.
BUT
Just my luck, by time I went to buy it when my refund was available, it had gone up in price in that few hours from 85 to 119.99. Wow now 139.99. Not happy. That’s quite a difference.
So I suppose I will just have to wait until there is a deal on it again.
Or look for another one elsewhere.
But right now I’m done in looking at microwaves.
It’s ok.
We had russel hobbs before which was perfect,
Defrost perfectly etc.
This one is a bit different.
I regret that we didn’t go with the one we had before.
That had popcorn program. This one burns the popcorn.
But other then that is a strong good microwave.
Convenient and easy to use
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.
Omg it looks great. Works fine
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
Let’s chat about the Russell Hobbs RHM2076B Microwave – it’s like kitchen magic in a sleek black box, and I’ve been loving every minute of it.
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!
Delivered within timescale; well packaged and good quality/durability. This was a replacement for a different make/model which is no longer available. I’ve had this a few months now and not given a review because it took me a while to get used to operating it – but this was probably due to it being so different from my previous one which had dials and I’d had a few years. The instructions are clear, I just keep them to hand! Getting used to it now and very pleased with performance.
5.0 out of 5 stars Bought for my granddaughter’s birthday
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great basic microwave
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Brillia
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Value for money
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
4.0 out of 5 stars Nice microwave
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful machine
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
The cutest little microwave that fits every kitche
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.
Easy to use
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.
I’ve purchased four of these microwaves in the last 6 weeks. Why so many? 3 for work kitchens and needing a new microwave myself I bought one to use at home. Very easy to use, looks good with the mirrored door and the price is good for the brand. Doesn’t heat the food at all on the defrost setting and cooks food quickly and evenly.
KEY BITS
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!
V good
Easy to use
Happy with our microwave. It was easy to set up, has a clear booklet with instructions, and easy to keep clean.
Well please
I was very impressed with those items and I will buy more in future
I’ve had this for over 6 months. Small light durable and most importantly stylish. Does the job and well worth the money
Good
Good quality, easy to use, very happy with my purchase
Does what it's meant to
We bought this to replace same one that was old. Didnt bother researching others as very pleased with this one. Just what we need.
Works great with plenty of powe
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.
Good Value for Money!
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.
Nice looking
A really nice looking microwave, does what you’d expect it to do. Easy to operate and comes with an instruction booklet. Good value
Very easy to operate and looks nice
A replacement for the one i had before which was the same
Tidy and neat.
Love this microwave it’s tidy neat and everything I want in a microwave.just what I want on my work top.
Good looking appliance.
The buttons for starting it are a bit fiddly
But works fine and nice looking appliance.
Great!
Fits a 10″ dinner plate, very simple to use and does the job.
Best micro ever., my husband fix it on the wood and it doesn’t move only opens its door. Very easy to use and so quick warming the food. Best quality . 100% recommendations
Good microwave
Had this microwave for years Bought this one identical to replace it when it packs up.
Looks amazing...
Looks amazing and does what it’s suppose to do, happy with my purchase.
Very pleased
I love this microwave. It is easy to use and clean. It warms up things quickly. Recommend
Great value
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.
Functional but on the small side.
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 bought this microwave when my built-in microwave died on me. I don’t use it a lot, but it’s great to have when I do need to microwave anything. It’s nice and compact. The interior is small, which suits me fine as I am on my own. I agree with a previous reviewer that the buttons are a bit soft to the touch and require a decent press to make the click occur. It also beeps five times once it has finished microwaving, which I find quite annoying. Five times is too much (I’m not a fan of unnecessary beeping sounds). But it microwaves as it should and that’s the main thing. It’s also nice to look at.
Excellent microwave
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!
Easy to use and looks great!
As the headline says, great replacement for our knackered old Microwave, easy to use and does a great job
Good Compact Microwave
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.

Does what it needs to do
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
Simple microvawe
This is a simple microwave. It does its main job. Does not have many features. The microwave looks great, but the glass door seems to pick up fingerprints quickly. It’s a microwave that serves its purpose just fine, nothing more than less.
Amazon stocks them
Very pleased with this item. After using for a while I am delighted with the ease of use.

Nice looking compact microwave
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
Easy to use. Modern design.
Great quality. Silent. Easy to use and a beautiful design.
Good purchase
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.
A replaceme
I like the look but I struggle with the instructions. Apart from that it seems to be a good microwave.
The best yet,. quality product.
Very good product, first class and a pleasure to use.
Grea
Easy to understand controls. It’s compact so large plates eg 30cm+ won’t quite fit.
Very good
Easy to use, what you see is what you get.
Works well
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.
Great looking additional to my kitche
Simple to use, easy to clean. Replacement for an older model but this one more stylish.
Does what it says on the box
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
Excellent wave
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.

Amazing price and great quality!
I’m 100% satisfied with this purchase! It’s so easy to use and the quality is very good!
Product as it shows.
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
Great microwave. Easy to use and clean. Arrived next day and not had a single problem. Looks nice as well
Good Microwave
Wish it was higher watt but overall really good for the price
Ties everything togethe
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

Working well so fa
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
Great little microwave easy to use
Really smart looking in the kitchen. Easy to use and clean. Very happy.
Fantastic Microwave
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.
Great Stuff
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
Exactly as expected
Pretty much what I was expecting. No problems so fa
Great produc
Very happy with this item, a little late arriving, but worth the wait.
Good microwave
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
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)

Sma
Smart & very neat in my kitchen, bought to replace a bulkier micro, which I needed a degree to operate 🙂
Brilliant Little microwave.
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!
Really neat microwave
This was smaller than I thought but looks great. Cooks really well
Solid constructio
Easy clean stylish a bit more pricey but definitely worth the extra. I expect it to last longer too.
Good except the mirrored doo
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
My experiance
Was not as big as I expected but meets my needs .Outside finish good .
Satisfatory product so far.
So far no complaints. Perfect size and does what it says on the tim. Would recommend.
Dose the job fine.steam dose not vent away
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
Very satisfied

It works OK
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.
Nice compact machine
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.

Read the instructions and you won’t go wrong
Easy to use looks really smart value for the money
Very Good produk
very nice microwave oven compact size fits in my kitchen i use it every day for heating food
Its ok but mirror finish difficult to keep smear free
Mirror finish annoying as difficult to keep clear of fingerprints! The dial is annoying as you have to turn it left to start from the highest time down to the time you want frustrating. Otherwise a good product overall.
Perfect compact microwave
I am really happy with this microwave… it doesn’t take up too much room on my kitchen worktop and works perfectly. It just about fits a normal size dinner plate in. The mirror finish to the door makes it look really modern too.
The microwave feels like the inside is smaller than comparable models, but actually everything fits in there. The only downside I discovered is a built-up of steam and water inside (on the walls) when running for several minutes on a high setting, that is something that didn’t happen on our microwaves I had used, therefore it kind of requires cleaning after each use, which is a little inconvenient.
Speedy delivery & Great Produc
Item arrived earlier than scheduled, easy to use and easy to clean. Nice modern looking not bulky at all.
