Great microwave
No timers or unusual cooking procedures just turn the knob and cook on what you need basic microwave all that’s needed
Easy to use
I bought this for my dad who is late 70s, he needed something very easy to use. He says its the best microwave he’s had!
very good
Very good easy to use microwave, just what I required.
Great buy
So far so good. Seems a little over zeleaous with the cooking, spuds cook very quickly… but I like it. It looks great, door is a little feable but i guess its cheap and cheerful. I would buy again though.
Not too good with jacket potatoes
For some reason it causes a burning smell and burn marks on the base of a jacket potatoes when on medium heat and top of the potato was still uncooked – had to clean it with bicarbonate soda to get rid of the smell. Thought it was a well known make and should have been ok – never had a problem in the past with old microwave.

Straightforward and easy to use little microwave and looks good.
Required to warm dishes up while having kitchen replaced when oven etc. out of service. Great little microwave. Easy to use and clean and very compact. Now use it alongside our larger microwave.
It looks very trendy in my kitchen with the matching toaster and kettle.
Heating food and drink and cooking is a pleasure in your Christmassy looking microwave
Russell hobs RHMM701S microwave
I purchased this Russell hobs microwave for a surprise for my girlfriend as her previous one was showing it’s age? Twenty years old and of a different manufacturer? So far she has been using her new microwave nearly everyday for the past few weeks and has had no issues or indeed problems. It’s a basic model which is really easy to use and she finds it great to reheat various homemade meals from her freezer. The real test I feel will be over the festive season when it really does show it’s worth while purchase.

Shiny New Microwave-unpeelable label!
We haven’t used this yet, as we’re still looking for the right location in our kitchen. This microwave has side vents and our previous unit had top vents. We are currently very frustrated by the unpeelability of the label stuck on the front. You would expect a readily peelable one, so you don’t scratch the beautiful shiny new front. Sadly not. We will live with the half peeled label, until we hear back from Russell Hobbs about how they recommend we get it off!

Ideal
It’s a microwave that microwaves, ideal for what we need and easy to use, clean and the price was good, couldn’t ask for more
Just what I wanted
I really like this little microwave, the colour is lovely, the design is retro modern like KitchenAid but on a budget, really easy to use with one dial for time and one dial for power, no faffing about with presets and buttons. Love it.
Stylish and economical
Looks good works well, reasonably quiet, what more could you want.
Perfect for our camper va
This worked really well on our 2 week road trip. Powerful enough to do what we needed without any issues of tripping the power (UK sites). Fits a full size plate.
I will update this review if anything changes and I run into problems with my retro cream R&H microwave. However, for now it looks great and runs perfectly. For someone who has poor eyesight and arthritis in fingers, the twist dials for the power settings and timer are a great relief in this digital world where everything requires finger dexterity and finding your glasses before you can operate anything!
The size is perfect for my small kitchen, I would not have fit a larger model in.
The only thing I will say as a heads up is to check you have the head clearance (30 cm) and side clearance (7cm) when the microwave is in situ or like I do, just slide it out a bit from under the overhead cabinets before using. Like any operating machinery, not following these instructions could compromise the function or damage the microwave- it has vents on the side which need the 7cm clearance and can get hand warm on top, so needs head clearance to prevent overheating.
It makes a normal loud microwave hum but if it starts making an unusual noise or accumulating an excessive amount of steam, I would stop using it immediately but, early days, so far it is a great and attractive addition to my kitchen, matching my R&H toaster as well as my retro cream and chrome kettle (of another brand).

Bought this as a kitchen set , the colours don’t match
Bought this as a kitchen set , the colours don’t match with the toaster and kettle, we are highend holiday cottage , I went out and bought another set from the Range
Microwave seems okay.
My eyesight was poor, when I first used it. I need someone to say temperature is botton dial, time is top dial. Usually, microwaves are opposite way around. It works brilliantly, on med high, I’ve found.
Item is worth considering.
For a simple microwave this is a great buy

Easy to use
Bought for its simplicity, why do you need all the fancy gadgets when all you want is to heat a product. 2nd time purchase, first one lasted 2years and inside rusted from condensation.

A good replacement for our old defunct microwave
We like this microwave but it has one small drawback ,the door glass is tinted black and you cannot see how the item is doing in the oven.
simple to use
Bought this for my 87 yr old Mum , its dead easy to use , no frills , two dials one for power setting the other for time – what more do you want from a simple microwave.
Great microwave
Fantastic. Have to cook things a minute linger than stated on most things due to the size and power. But that’s fine. Looks stylish with an air of vintage. Worth the money!

Looks great in my kitche
Bought for the colour to match other items in my kitchen. Easy to use as there’s not many features. I haven’t actually had to clean it yet but I don’t think it’s going to be a problem!!! Quite pricey for a basic microwave but it was the colour I wanted.

No complaints
It does what it says on the tin. I’ve been using it for over a year. It’s a nice colour red too.
User friendly
Perfect for my elderly parent who wanted simple usable easy device. Good price.
Does the job and looks grea
Very happy with this purchase.
Slightly smaller than my previous microwave, which is actually better for me as it takes up less space on the side!
Have had for about 2-3 weeks now, and touch wood — no issues. So would happily purchase again.
The colour also matches well with the seperate Russell Hobbs toaster i purchased.

Looks really nice
Just the right size for my family.. had a massive one before and it tuck over my workspace and I wanted one that looks nice but small enough and this does the job

Good service
First microwave arrived had a few problems with that amazon guy was amazing I spoke to arranged uplift and replacement in 2 days ! Microwave currently working well
Looks good and works well.
Brought this for my mother 4 months ago looks great and very easy to use, now program setting just to dials could not be easier. I already had on myself 3years old now just love the simple way it operates, anyone can use it.

Marvellous inventio
No more heating my food up in the sun anymore, now I have this wonderful creation.
You put your food in, turn the dial and wait till it goes “DING” Hey presto your food is hot.

Compact, easy to use, basic microwave
Easy to use, basic microwave. Nicely compact and fits into a small space. Nice looking finish with an easy grip handle that I really like. Only had it a few weeks, but appears to be a quality product.
Cant beat buying a good reliable brand !
Just using this for 5 minutes I realised just how rubbish my other one was I returned that I bought from a well known supermarket, This it’s expensive looking easy to use well worth every penny can’t beat relying on such a good brand , will now replace my other appliances with Russell hobb , will never buy cheap brands again.

Fit for purpose
Perfect replacement for a Hotpoint that decided to blow up and catch fire one month out of warranty.
I have a few Russell Hobbs pieces so this fits right in. Specs are basic 700 watts and 17L with 24.5cm glass turntable. Outside dimensions are the same as most compact 17 Litre microwave oven.
Let’s hope it lasts longer than the 2yr one month predecessor. One issue I have is that you cant see what you are cooking. Yes there is an interior light, but the door glass/plastic is tinted like a mirror so have no idea if food is boiling over etc.

Russell Hobbs Retro Microwave
Old microwave packed up and looked for a replacement. Saw the Russell Hobbs which was exactly what I wanted – Retro cream, 2 dials only and not digital – everything matched with my new kitchen doors, including my RH cream kettle. Did not want dozens of push buttons with numerous digital settings and this model for me was perfect. Also good value for money. Would highly recommend.

Works well - Functional microwave
I am really happy with this product it does exactly what it says. It is a bit smaller than my last microwave but it fits a dinnerplate in just. it looks exactly like it does in the pictures. I have seen the negative reviews. I have had no issue with this but then I have had it less than a yea

Very smart, and it works well.
Nothing really to dislike. It’s very smart & works very well.
JUST ONE POINT, IT SAYS IN THE MANUAL THAT THERE’S A LIGHT INSIDE, BUT ACTUALLY THERE ISN’T, ??.
It’s no big deal about the internal light anyway.
Kindest Regards
JUST LIKE TO ADD AN UPDATE, THE LIGHT IS WORKING FINE NOW. ( 08/08/2020 )

Simply works
I replaced my old microwave that had LEDs, a dial, push buttons and many programs and used to beep annoyingly every five seconds after it finished. I now have a microwave that has two dials, one of which is left set at full power and the other controls the timer and is the only one I need to use. When it’s finished it goes BING once, very loudly, and that’s it. Highly recommended!

Good quality
Nice looking microwave as you’d expect from Russell Hobbs. I bought it to replace a microwave that was about 3 times the size of this one. I hadn’t realised how much room the other one took up on my worktop. The colour blends in nicely with everything else in my kitchen. Works as you would expect. Happy with the price also

Stylish and compact additio
I like this microwave as a whole, although if I am honest I do miss the digital timer for things you want to warm up under a minute as you kind of have to guess with the dial for timers under 1 minute. Nice modern finish and compact size makes this a good edition to any kitchen.

Microwave
This is, by far, the simplest microwave I have ever used. It really looks the part, matching other cream items I have in my kitchen. I most certainly have no hesitation in recommending this item.
Ideal for the elderly
My mum’s microwave apparently went bang! She had a massive panic, I just ordered a replacement. This is spot on as she gets confused and worries if items are just too clever! Manual settings are spot on for her and all has returned to calm.
Ted Microwave
Nice easy to use. The only down side is there is no release catch for the door it’s a matter of pulling the door. My old microwave had a little button which released the door but all in all J like this microwave
A good buy but shame about the difficult to remove sticker on the fro
No digital push buttons so easy to use. Ours arrived with a sticker in a prominent place advising if we wanted to use for less than 2 minutes, turn the dial above 2 minutes and reverse. Unfortunately this sticker was extremely difficult to remove and when doing so turned this prominent area dull whilst the rest was an excellent shiny black.
Dials are best for my mother in law
Bought this for my elderly mother in law as it has ‘retro’ dials and is easy for her to use. She seems unable to use push button devices so this is ideal for her. Looks good in her worktop. Very neat size too
My mum love this I bought her, she said it’s so stylish the right colour she was looking for. The build quality is as you would expect at this price range. They are not built to last long anymore unless you paid a lot more than this. This is just a nice little microwave for warming food up nothing special and as long as you clean and dry it out after every uses it should not rust for quite a while. Anyway my mum loves it so I am happy.

Great basic microwave, good value for money 👍
Great basic microwave, good value for money, vdoes exactly what you’d expect it to. The only improvement I’d suggest is having the internal light come on when you open the door. The light goes on while cooking but on just with the door open which makes cleaning it properly slightly more difficult.

Great value for money
Interestingly you supplied a BLACK MODEL instead of the cream which I ordered!!! We didn’t notice until the delivery man had left, but because it fitted in with our dcor there was need to complain. Obviously more up to date than the model we had had for many years. Like everything else it is fine when you get used to using it. hank you for quick response to my request.
Retro Microwave
I was a little sceptical about ordering this microwave after reading the negative comments.
The images provided on Amazon for the microwave are the exact same as what the microwave looks like when it arrives, it looks really nice in my kitchen and works well.
I would most defintiley recommend this.
Fabulous looking, good working microwave, had 2 years, not used too often maybe a few times a week, last few weeks noticed food has taken a lot longer to heat or been excessively hot in a few minutes, after putting my 18 month olds soup in microwave in microwaveable bowl after 10 seconds or so it just started sparking bright yellow inside microwave then a huge bang…..black smoke started bellowing out.
Very dangerous as both me and my 18 month old daughter were only a meter away.
Gutted this had happed!!!
No issues till this happened.

Very dangerous as both me and my 18 month old daughter were only a meter away.
Gutted this had happed!!!
No issues till this happened.
here are no instruction with the cooke
i will use it post operatively in bedroom after having three major shoulder ops 2 on one side and three the other side
there are no timing guidelines or temperature advice or cooking recipes until i receive these i can not safely use it all searches have proved fruitless
Highly recommend.
Recently moved house and forgot to bring my microwave from my old house. Been without one for about 4 months but found we were wasting money on food we would throw away that we would of had as left overs when we had a microwave so bought this one. Brillant price and looks smart too.
Microwave has gone rusty
The issue that I have experienced was: The interior has gone rusty under the plate and pock marked with rust on the sides.
Russell Hobbs RHMM701R 17L Manual 700w Solo Microwave Red
It occurred on: 24/10/2019
This meant that I have no alternative microwave
I would like a refund.

This is a very nice microwave and the style of it is super retro and cool. The main thing I do not like is the fact that there is no light inside and you can’t see inside while it’s operating. Every American spec microwave I’ve ever had, even cheap ones, have this feature so I am not sure if it’s intentional. This can be a problem because you can’t monitor your food in case it starts overflowing. Also, I noticed that a lot of moisture collects inside of the microwave, which is probably why many are getting rust inside of the unit. Leave the door open after cooking for a few minutes to prevent this.
I wanted a small microwave and that’s what this is. It was relatively cheap and you get what you pay for. The timer is not precise under 2 minutes as it’s a dial which has to be turned past 2 mins to activate and then turned back to less than 2 mins. This is awkward if less than 2 mins is really needed. Otherwise it does the job. I only wanted it for warming ready meals through and that’s fine. My attempts at poached eggs as described in the recipe leaflet were disastrous but very funny. Won’t be trying that again. Overall, good value for the money; basic and easy to use.

This was a present for an 86 year old lady. She loves it and finds it so easy to use.
I’m newish to using Microwaves so have very little to compare with however I am very happy with this one. Looks wise it combines the retro feel with a nice modern mirror glass door and the cream looks great in my kitchen where I have cream cupboards. It has a 25cm glass plate but can easily take my 26.5cm large denby dinner plants. It has a 1 metre cable (length of cable not plug ends) which is situated at top right. It came very well double packed in Russel Hobbs box and outer cardboard box. There was a large booklet with it re advise on using but only a very small leaflet of recipes – the same information as on website. Overall you need to allow 33cm from front to back (this is from the very back to the very front of the handle) and the leaflet advises to have 7cm behind that for circulation. The width is 44cm and the height 25cm. All different to shown on website. It also works very efficiently. The one small point I would make is that it does appear to produce a lot of condensation – more than one’s I’ve had in the past so reading the other feedback you must be careful to wipe out after to avoid rust. Overall a good buy.
bought for my mom.lovely machine ,great colour and mirror finished door ,good value
