Russell Hobbs RHM2362S 23L Microwave, 800W, Auto Defrost, Silve
About your Russell Hobbs microwave
Microwave 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 results
Reheat
With five microwave power levels to choose from, you can ensure all your food is cooked or re-heated to the optimum 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 RHM2362S 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 tips
To 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.

Good value
Does what it is supposed to. My only gripe is that it slides across the work surface when you open and shut the door. Can’t remember other microwaves doing that. The 30 second button is very useful.
Good looking, practical and with useful features
Very good, suit all our needs except it needed to be slightly deeper to accommodate all of our plates we used to be able to put in the microwave previously. My husband likes the simplicity of ‘just pushing one button’ a few times (each time adds 30s) to heat up food.
Very easy to use and very smart looking
Very easy to use and very smart looking. Initially looked for a stainless steel microwave to fit in with the steel theme in the kitchen but this does the job. Mirror door very attractive.
Brilliant replaceme
I was a little apprehensive when I read the reviews, but this Microwave works beautifully. It is easy to use, has a useful timer which can be used on its own and is spacious. If there is any criticism, it is that it slides around on the granite worktop. Rubber tipped feet would overcome this.
Recommend it!!!
I bought this microwave last year! It worked great, no difficulties with using at all, however almost after one year the light bulb didn’t work!! And the greatest Amazon service fixed my problem by exchanging my old microwave to the new one!!!!! I’m so happy!! Thank you Amazon for a great job xxx
Pretty good
Nice looking. Compact. Works well.
The Panasonic we had was over 25 years old and still going strong, but was only 600 watts.
Not sure if this one will last as long!
Cannot understand why this one is more complicated. I could set how many seconds I wanted the Panasonic to run. This operates in 30 second slots and you have to stop it part way through if you want less than 30 seconds.Why?
Repeat purchase
My first has given up after eight years of loyal service.
It met its demise with a boot of lightning filled by a puff of smoke.
Undeterred but naturally surprised I have found a more or less exact replacement ( my wife does not like change ).
The only difference I can see between this one and the last is the coating inside is much improved and easier to wipe clean and some repositioning off the exhaust vents.
A very simple to use, twist the dial left then press the black start button for timed cooking using full power or just repeatedly press the black start button for instant cooking at 30s intervals.
For more advanced users there are presets. Especially useful is the one for jacket potatoes.
Quick to set up and very intuitive to use - highly recommended
his review is based on limited usage having only just received the product so does not include reliability factor
It is a small microwave which is full of functions and features.
It replaces one which is physically twice the size but has a deceptively large internal working size. Quick to set up and very intuitive to use – highly recommended
Great capacity
Swift delivery and microwave works as it should do. Not had a problem with any of the features so far. The defrost and preset buttons are perfect for easy cooking. Capacity is great and fits microwavable sterilizer for baby’s bottles.
The best bit about this model is you can set it ...
Chose this model after some research including Which reviews. We have a combi oven in the kitchen but you have to change the shelf to use the microwave function, which is a faff. So I wanted a basic microwave for defrosting mostly, and heating small plates of food. The best bit about this model is you can set it off with the press of just one button – brilliant!
5 Stars
Bought in June. Turntable stopped working in October. Just received a brand new replacement. What a fantastic company. Couldn’t help enough. Will definitely buy Russell Hobbs again and Highly recommend company. Many thanks.
I last purchased this item in 2015. It still worked fine but after almost 8 years of constant use areas of the top and inside front were showing signs or slight rust. So I decided to replace it. But as it was so easy to use I wanted an identical one to my old one. I was thrilled to find Russel Hobbs are still making them.
So easy to use . Set the cock and the power to 100 or 80 or lower and it will stay at that. Looks gorgeous with its mirrored front. What’s not to love? I would give it ten stars for looks, cost, ease of use, and reliability. But I can only go up 5.
Tip… to prolong life Always wipe any moisture away after cooking and leave door ajar for 5 minutes. It paid off for me.
Good value
This is a great little microwave at a reasonable price. The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is that it’s very difficult to see through the glass door to the inside. So if you’re trying to see that your milk / soup etc doesn’t boil over, you have to virtually put your nose to the glass door!
there is an option of a quick setting, which is really useful.
Stylish, but not all that!
Stylish looking microwave.
Pros
– Easily hots up food
– Notifies you when the microwave has finished cooking by a beeping sound which has 5 beeps
Cons
– Microwave suffers badly with condensation, however just leave the door slightly open
– The timing option should have just been a simple + / – button instead of the faffing around
– Door outside glass leaves smudges/smears when wiped
Overall the microwave is usable and is just used to hot up food.
Arrived on the day it was promised to be delivered ...
Arrived on the day it was promised to be delivered and does all the things which I want it to do.
Happy so fa
Good looking machine with great capacity for baby bottle steriliser as we have just had a baby girl, so perfect for that purpose. Top panel of microwave seems a bit flimsy compared to previous microwave at half the price, but happy with performance so far.
Great Product at Good Price
Good capacity, easy to use, good value for money. Oversize packaging.
Good from Russell.
Does what it says on the tin.
I spilled a liquid in the microwave, but was easy to clean and dry.
Dials and everything are easy to use.
Minor negative – the text on each of the buttons varies slightly (font/font size) which annoys me slightly.
very easy to use and plenty big enough for large plates ...
Bought for my 90+ years mum, very easy to use and plenty big enough for large plates etc. would recommend .
A bit complicated Rocket Science stuff, its well made ...
A bit complicated Rocket Science stuff, its well made top class name. Turn the power on from your socket turn the dial to the left till you get the minutes you need press the button in the middle of the dial and away you go. (turn it to the right and then call N A S A)
I bought this microwave to replace a smaller Panasonic. It is an excellent size. My dinner plates fit in comfortably. It is easy to use with an quick start 30 second interval button which cooks at full power. There are also a number of auto cook setting although I haven’t had the need to use them all and to be honest some I probably never will, eg popcorn.
Overall a well sized easy to use microwave which looks smart as well!
Five Stars
ealy good oven easy to use and also looks good
quieter than my old cheap microwave. Very easy to use. looks smart. See inside easily. Clock bright and easy to set. Was worried about the large gap needed between left side and wall but there is not a lot of heat coming out of it so I think manufacturer has overestimated to be on the safe side.
Don't cook oven chips in the microwave
Heats up food like it’s supposed to
Looks nice in a modern kitchen
Doesn’t have an oven function on it
Don’t try and cook chips in it, I tried that and blew up a casserole dish
The microwave was unharmed
Four Stars
Good but mirrored front is too reflective so you can’t see inside when items are cooking.
Timing of the essence
Very good quality for the money, sturdy, nicer looking than the picture, nice size etc. however it is a bit confusing to use. To set the timer, you have to press the black button which repeatedly adds 30 seconds, so for 4 mins you have to press the button 8 times. I’m sure there is an easier way to do it, but I haven’t figured it out yet.
good for price
Good microwave what else can you wtite. Looks good, performs well, quite easy to use when youve read the instructions.
lose a star for building up with condensation when cooking. None of my last ones did.
Russell Hobbs Silver Digital Microwave
This replaced our old Microwave which was 15 years old. Very pleased with this one, easy to use and easy on the eye.
Excellent delivery service and received it within 24hours.
This is a practical and very simple machine that does all the main microwave jobs needed for everyday work in the kitchen. It does not deal with the more complicated jobs that microwaves can be used for, though can be adapted for use alongside other systems. It was inexpensive, is attractive to look at and easy to use. However one has to be careful because it is very light and is easily nudged.
Good price, and great quality.
This microwave is of great quality. The dial and buttons are easy to handle. Food gets cooked uniformely. The style and look is also great for your kitchen.
I love Russel Hobbs products.
Works like a normal microwave I would say
Works like a normal microwave I would say. Looks beautiful. When my daughter came home and saw it for the first time, she was wowed….
I still have not quite figured out how to use all the knobs but if you just press the knob, it gives you an automatic 30 seconds which works for me!
Exellent microwave.
Lovely microwave. Easy to get both hands in to stir contents. I had to put a nonslip mat underneath, to prevent it moving when opening door.
Easy to use. Good instruction book.
Expensive looking and sma
Just what was required and looks great. Impressed with quality and Amazon response when the first order went missing.
Excelle
I bought this microwave for my 80 year old Mother who absolutely loves it, it has a lovely look about it and stands out in her kitchen! It is the nicest microwave I have seen. Can’t really comment on the ‘cooking’ part of it as my Mam just uses it for basic things. One of the reasons I went with this model in particular was the handle on it, my Mam is in a wheelchair and the last microwave she had, had a push button to open the door, when she pushed the button the microwave would slide back…this one is very easy to open for her. The door is very reflective (which I didn’t realise) but its not a problem, you can still see into it, if needed. So all in all – definitely a good buy!
If we need a new one I would definitely get one of these.
Recommended
Good purchase, more features than our old one but a lot cheaper. Would recommend
Five Stars
Was looking for something simple to operate and effective in use – This is it!
I purchased this microwave as my first in a new house. Given how long I have known microwaves of friends and family to last, I did plenty of research before buying. There are a number of good points about this microwave:
– The materials, build quality, design and finish are all very good
– The cooking space inside is more than adequate
– The 800W power usage compared with 1000W of most 25L was a key selling point, providing a quick heat/cook time without excess
– The quick start function works well and allows you to add 30 more seconds while cooking
– The timer is very handy when cooking in the oven
There are a few small niggles:
– Because the quick start button is part of the rotary dial and the dial moves quite freely, you can sometimes turn the dial by accident when pressing the button
– As mentioned by others, it would have made far more sense to have the clockwise turn of the dial be time and anticlockwise the auto menu, it would mean you do not have to turn one click anticlockwise then clockwise to start counting up
I would recommend this microwave to anyone looking to make a new purchase.
Really pleased with our new microwave
Really pleased with our new microwave. Easy to use without too many confusing menus. Handy kitchen timer option is helpful. Looks smart.
Only negative is its hard to see the food inside as too dark inside.
a nice interior size, fairly simple to use, instructions could be a bit clearer I think.
It looks nice in the kitchen and does “chirp” when timer has finished to let you know the food is done.
It`s nice being able to fit a dinner plate inside without it catching on the way round.
Yes I like the microwave. Looks good, works well and is really easy to operate (ignore the reviews that say otherwise). So why not five stars? Well, I ordered this to replace my existing model and needed iit quickly. So I chose one available on Prime and if ordered in the next 30 minutes would arrive the following day – Sunday – which is very convenient for me. So I did and got the immediate message that it would be delivered on the Monday. Instead on having it delivered when I had chosen I had to wait in on the Monday. We pay for Prime so not a happy bunny.
A couple of months on, we’re liking the Russell Hobbs microwave after chronic problems with a couple of Panasonics over the past 4 years. The main thing we have found is that the power output remains consistent and doesn’t fade (like the Panasonic did) with longer cycles. Slightly smaller inside, but it’s not a tardis. Still takes a full sized dinner plate.
Looks good. I would drop the mirror door finish as it does impact being able to see inside. We like the slightly retro looking red LED display.
Easy to use controls.
Arrived quickly and in good condition. On reading the instructions and looking at front panel it looks complicated, on using it [ I use it at least 1 -2 times a day] it is really quite easy to work. The more you use it the easier it seems. It is big enough for a 26cm dinner plate with room to spare at the sides. Not overly noisy and you cant miss the beeps, one on switching power on and 5 when timer finished. also gives you the option on how many watts you use off the max 800. e.g. 20, 40 60 80 100%, Will defrost for you also. inside lights up when you open the door. As you would expect from R H build quality looks good. I am very happy with the microwave
Compact, stylish and easy to use.
After having a combi microwave for the last 10 years was looking for something a little more simple and this was just what we were looking for at a very good price. Compact, stylish and easy to use. Would recommend.
Quality product at good price
Delivery could not have been any quicker, it’s a good size and would fit in any kitchen. Nice mirror door,but needs polishing more than normal. Easy to use.no problems.
Good quality and easy to use
Very pleased with this microwave, we looked at quite a few and this had a larger plate and we didn’t want or need a grill. The 800 watts is quicker than our old one and it has the quick start that we like. Delivery was good and it was well packed and arrived in France very quickly.
I bought this microwave in December 2014. The quality build is excellent, and easy to use. The instructions could be improved upon. It’s best to read and play around with the settings — to know how it works. That’s how I’ve learnt to use it. In my opinion paying approx. 70 is a little high for a non-combi microwave, but it’s definitely worth having. I’ve just ordered another one these for my mother-in-law, she loves using our microwave. Now that I have used it, if I had to buy it again, I would beg, borrow or save up to buy this microwave. Worth a 5 star rating.
will easily take a 29cm diam pasta bowl
As a stand alone item on our worktop it doesn’t look too big at all but It’s big inside, will easily take a 29cm diam pasta bowl. Haven’t found operating it that difficult so all in all very satisfied!
... daughter as a gift and she tells me its brilliant very useful and reliable she loves the mirror door ...
Bought for my daughter as a gift and she tells me its brilliant very useful and reliable she loves the mirror door front too lol
eally like the design style of i
eally like the design style of it.. looks fab in our kitchen. only thing is even though it says its 800w… it functions more as a 700w.
nonetheless, it functions perfectly fine! no real issue with it!
Purchased to replace a relic from the stone age. Lots of options which are easily accessible although you will need to refer to the manual to understand exactly what some of the food specific modes are trying to do. For basic heating function you get direct access to 30 second increments through the main knob but to get access to more continuous variations in time you either have to press the TIMER button then twiddle the knob or, oddly, turn the knob left then right. We keep turning it right first which takes you into a confusing series of menus regarding food type. Never used such a mode so this is annoying.
Best bit is that it is extremely shiny!
Finally watch the price. Every so often Amazon drop the price by 16 quid to 54 quid. Just bide your time
Perfect ! Simple lay-out ( and with me it needs to be ) enables ease of operation. Very efficient and well made. Just goes to show that things don’t have to be complicated to impress; a bit like washing machines with forty-eight programmes when you actually need and use only three ! Extremely well made and deservably top of it’s class.
Five Stars
his microwave was delevered within 2 days and is just what the docter ordered with thanks p jordan.
Highly recommended
Easy to use, looks great. does the job well. Was a great replacement for the old Sanyo one that didn’t last for even 2 years.. This is great value for the price. Highly recommended

Awesome Microwave!
Superb Microwave Oven! I should have purchased this a month ago! It is simple to use and has loads of features if you want to use them! It’s nettled at all and looks great on the counter! Very happy with purchase!
This arrived promptly and has been good so fa
This arrived promptly and has been good so far. It is slightly smaller than my previous one but is still a decent size and is perfectly adequate. It looks nice with the mirror effect door. Very pleased with this purchase.

Excellent service , product does all we could ask. Looks good too.
Good basic microwave
Good basic microwave. Only 4 stars given as feet are uneven and microwave wobbles every time you open / close the door. Delivered when they said it would be and well packaged.
When our old Sharp combination microwave packed in a month or so ago I replaced it with a top line Panasonic model but that didn’t even last a day as it started making odd noises, ignoring the timer which was still counting down and switching off every few seconds and it started to get very hot on top.
I accept I may have had a rogue machine but that put me off the more expensive models and I decided to try the No #1 best selling microwave, purely on the strength of other positive reviews and so far it has been an excellent choice.
You do need to ensure there is space 20cm space either side and 30cm space above and it advises not to put anything on top of the machine, all those instructions should be made clearer as no doubt space may be an issue for some people; as may be the instruction that it is just for food and is not suitable for heating warming pads or wheat bags.
On the plus side it is ridiculously easy to use, pressing power gives the choice of 5 power levels from 100% full heat down to 10% and once you have chosen the setting just press the large black start/confirm button and as you turn the dial to the right it starts to count the time upwards, press start/confirm button again and it starts cooking. You can also press the start button to add 30 seconds each time which is handy if you are cooking something that will take a while.
There are two defrosting functions to choose either by weight or time and 8 settings to cook various foods which I haven’t had the need to try yet.
For the price I cannot fault it, my mother oddly currently struggles remembering how to use it but it is so basic it only takes a few seconds to remind her and it is relatively new and she had no issue with our previous more complex Sharp model. That’s just a minor gripe and when weighed against the plus points it’s a small price to pay for the ease of operation.
Great microwave more on the bling side. Very pretty indeed. The command panel can be a bit fiddly and confusing sometime but very glad of this purchase. Will happily recommend to anyone.

Fabulous and cheap!
Really easy to use, nice load space (sounds like a van I am describing here) and cooks things. That’s the general idea! Doesn’t look bad. Given the price, I am so chuffed!
Does the job
Bought for use at an office. Simple to use and does the job. Very shiny door – doubles up as a mirror, but makes it a teeny bit harder to see into the microwave. Satisfied overall.
very sma
Smart,easy to use, good quality. I love this Microwave
Great one
Good microwave, working almost a year now without any issues at all. The front is a bit pain to clean but nothing too difficult. A large plate fits no problem.
Family purchase
Lovey shiney smart looking microwave. Perfect, easy to use. Reasonable price. We have been through a few microwaves as a family due to the amount of use they get in our home.This one looks set to last us a good few years.
Fabulously easy to use and a great price for the size it is too. It’s a pretty simple set of programming to be able to use – I was able to get it set up and set the clock etc without consulting the manual. It has 6 great presets and an independent timer function you can use without using the actual microwave function.
We bought this to replace a smaller 20l microwave as it did not fit either of our microwave bottle sterilisers for our baby, but this one does! We have both the MAM and the Tommee Tippee microwave serilisers and both fit and turn comfortably.
Compact, efficient and stylish microwave
After many years of a huge bulky microwave, This Russell Hobbs is more compact and proving to be an excellent buy. Whilst the glass in the door is dark, you can still see the food inside. Instructions are clear and simple to follow. Overall a stylish produc
Very powerful, heats everything evenly. The beautiful front does require a lot of care since any wet hands opening the microwave will cause some splatter and then create hard spots. Expect mirror like care for the finish on the front lest it look nasty.
Great item albeit a little pricey - only problem is ...
Great item albeit a little pricey – only problem is that the door always wants to swing shut. Not good when I am delicately trying to remove my smoking hot pizza from last night! Matches my other Russell Hobbs appliances perfectly, does a great job. Very happy!
Stylish microwave
Heats up food, looks good, reasonably compact – everything a microwave should be! The menus I think are a little complicated, it’s not intuitive as to how to start the thing, I had to read the manual. However, it’s really handy how you can keep pressing the round dial to add 30 seconds onto the timer, that’s pretty much the only function you should need to use in day-to-day usage. The only drawback is the mirrored front – it looks great, but you can’t see through it to see how the food is doing, even with the light on inside. Bit daft, but not losing sleep over it…
A few quirks in an otherwise amazing product.
A little small and featureless. It has a few quirks, for example setting the timer by turning the wheel to the left actually sets it to 95:00. You can either turn it right to go to 0:00 or keep going left to reach the time. Odd design, but I guess it works?
Seems fine so far. Unusual control knob.
Seems great so far. Good looks. Only oddity is the selection knob rather than the usual press-buttons, which confuses some of my carers. (I’ve not actually been able to use it myself yet.)
Update 23 March 2023: Can now say that this is still a very good buy, and I’ve now found a near matching grill oven to stand on top of it with some supermagnets I added to the feet.
The outside of the microwave still looks perfect, and the glass cleans up a treat with a misting of vinegar and wipe with kitchen paper (Amazon brown paper from their packaging is v useful for cleaning glass too!). The outside metal is stainless but still usefully magnetic, but the whole thing is let down because they made the inside compartment from ordinary iron, and it is very prone to rust in the edges and corners, and under the turntable and on the internal doorframe.
This is really unforgivable design when the outside looks so good and the electronics and other components are still perfect after years of use. Sadly, this will mean that most of these beautiful ovens will have been thrown out within a few years, though they still worked perfectly! I, myself have persevered, and have, so far, twice sanded down the rust and repainted with smooth Hammerite. The first time was hard work and didn’t give a very smooth finish, and the door soon rusted again where it touches the frame when closed. The latest time, I got a Dremel grinding tool and made a better job of smoothing the rust and old paint before repainting, and, this time, keeping the door and frame from contacting, with a layer of white electrical tape on the frame, and black on the door. It now looks good as new.
One reason for the rapid rusting is likely that the designers, stupidly, made it so that the internal light stays on with the door open and does not cut out to save electricity, so people tend to close the door with it still damp inside. This could easily have been solved with a simple delay switch at manufacturing stage. Some people probably leave the door open and turn it off at the wall, but then you have to do without the useful clock and reset it for every use. I found a push button switch to put under the control panel, that I now turn the light off with so I can leave the door open, so it should last longer this time, (But you have to know what you are doing if you try this, as there is dangerously high voltage in the main capacitor nearby, even when the unit is unplugged, so best left to an electrician who knows how to discharge it.).
Looks and works amazing!
Works and looks amazing if you don’t mind the mirrored front. Obviously this is subject to greasy fingerprints that you have to clean a lot, which isn’t necessarily the easiest of tasks without getting streaks.
Easy to use
Excellent microwave, very easy to use, sturdy and looks nice in the kitchen. If you just want a straightforward easy to use microwave then you cannot go wrong with this one.
Machine is very good though.
Internal plate broke after a week…. not very robust? Machine is very good though.
Russel Hobbs Microwave
My old mircrowave which was quite old was beginning to look old and rusty, so I decided to look for another one, I spent ages online looking at different ones, I choose this one because the reviews were very good and I liked the look of it, I am very pleased with it, and it is so simple to use, would recommend it.
This handsome item arrived beautifully packed and in perfect condition. I plugged it in and away it went first time. As a senior citizen, I am delighted with an item which is easy to use and has clear and precise directions, in proper English. Thank you very much.
Working fine so fa
Looks great, easy use.
For me, any equipment little flaw in the kitchen will keeps appearing in my mind.
I haven’t think about anything about this one so far, until a remind E-mail, so it is good so far.
Great microwave
This microwave is ideal, the silver finish & mirrored door makes it look smart in the kitchen. Unlike some microwaves, a large plate or bowl will fit in easily. It has a wide range of functions if you need them but for everyday warming up or cooking easy things it is very simple to understand & to operate. I would recommend this item to all.
So far, so good.
Uncomplicated, works brilliantly so far, and looks good. Not quite as powerful as my previous microwave, but that hardly matters just adjust cooking time slightly. Pleased with it so far, now it’s just a test of time.
Good quality
I really looked hard at the reviews for microwaves before I purchased.Ticked the necessary boxes for me,simple to set up and use,good looking, solidly built and easy to clean.
A nice looking appliance and works well.
This is a good microwave, easy to use settings and looks good unlike the last one we had. Don;t remove the card inside the microwave as it states not to, I almost did before I checked the instructions. Its mirror effect door is a nice design. I highly recommend this model, good fast delivery.
good produc
Plus: The microwave works perfectly fine, I have a popcorn program and it is working excellent. It is a quality product.
Minus: The front glass is like a mirror (glossy), it is not mat like amazon photo. It was a amazing product if the glass was mat, it was like an iPhone in mobile world.
Fantastic !
What a fantastic microwave this Russell Hobbs RHM2362S is. It looks very smart in the kitchen and does what it says on the tin. I would highly recommend this item to anybody looking for a decent microwave oven.
Shiny
I think this is probably the most stylish (and shiny) microwave in the known universe. It is also very large and should easily defrost a big bird (not your wife or g/f on a winters night in greenland tho)
I read a lot of reviews of many types of microwave and we reckoned this would be a good replacement for our old microwave which was well over 20 years old and used daily. However, it has been groaning recently and we felt that it had had its day. This one is a good replacement, although doesn’t do so much. However it does the necessary – cooking on 5 different power settings plus defrost, useful quick microwave setting etc. I’m not that keen on having multifunction controls, but I’ll get used to it as it’s all pretty straightforward. I’m not sure I’ll be using the menu settings – pizza, meat, veg, beverages etc., but you never know I might change my mind. The instructions are very very clear and it’s a good idea also to read how to clean and look after it – eg no unnecessary microwave cleaners, and drying the inside after cleaning it (so many people in other reviews of other products complained about rust, and that’s probably why).
The only reason I do not give this 5 stars is that in the blurb about it online there is no mention of having to place it 2- cams each side from the nearest wall, and that you should have a clearance of 30cm above it. We have had to adjust the position of it to accommodate this. You only come across this in the booklet.
If you want a basic microwave oven this is the one. I got one for my elderly mum who needs clear, precise instructions. I was so impressed with it that I got one for myself. If you just want a microwave with no other programs then I highly recommend this one.
Easy to use
No problems at all with this microwave oven. It is easy to use and looks very smart. Possibly slightly underpowered, but this is not a problem, just add 5 secs on anything that seems that it might benefit.

The instructions are a little wordy, and difficult to follow, however once mastered it does the job nicely. Finish is first class, easy to clean, digital display is easy to read…
Well made, solid construction, looks attractive and extremely easy to use. Initially was put off by a reviewer who said you have to set the timer by counting from 95 downwards. You don’t – turning the knob clockwise counts upwards from 0.

A good solid job
This item replace the Panasonic which was just too small and the Rotary table kept on falling off. This is a much better job and is stable I would recommend it. It’s simple to use
Superb value
Our long standing aldi microwave stopped turning round so I saw this in the sale and bought it! Excellent value for money. I recommend it.
Very pleased with my new microwave. It’s a little larger than my previous one which is useful, as I was rather limited with the other one. Its controls are pretty easy to learn, though not what one would call instinctive. It looks good. It works well, and the power range is excellent.
The only drawback I can see is that although, along with more sophisticated controls, it has a simple, one push equals 30 seconds of time button, it is quite possible to push the button slightly off centre and suddenly have a timing of 95 minutes! This does not really matter to me as I can spot it immediately, but my husband has Alzheimers and to try to keep things as simple as possible for him, I suggested just using the 30 second button, pressing it as needed. He’s managed to set it for very some long times already!
I realise that for most people, this would not present a problem, but it would be good if it was not possible to make this mistake. All in all, I think it is a very machine and would recommend it.
This is only the third microwave we have bought since the 1980’s and by far the least expensive. It does not have some of the programmes of our last oven but then most of them were rarely if ever used.
The Russell Hobbs has a striking modern appearance and we are well pleased that it does everything that we want. Two things prevent us giving 100%…..during daylight hours it is difficult to see through the glass door but more importantly the mains cable is 20cm shorter than the last oven and does not reach the nearest socket from the shelf that I constructed a few years ago and in the instruction manual it states that an extension lead should not be used! Perhaps other manufacturers use similar lengths but this cannot be found in their specifications.
