About the RHM2086SS

The Russell Hobbs RHM2086SS Buckingham microwave has a sleek and stylish contemporary design, boasting an attractive mirror door finish, stainless steel fascia, and blue LED light.

As well as an appealing look, this appliance also includes impressive functionality, with 700 watts of microwave power providing quick and convenient cooking in your home.

This is a 17 litre cavity capacity microwave, comfortably fitting a standard size of dinner plate. It comes with a removable and dishwasher safe glass turn-table for easy cleaning.

Additional features include a handy digital clock and count-down timer, and for added peace of mind, the RHM2086SS comes with a child safety lock option. Once the child lock is on, it locks the button control so the microwave cannot be activated.

Auto-Cook and Defrost

Pre-programmed auto-cook menus, such as pizza (reheat), fish, and popcorn, allow you to cook all your favourite foods at the push of a button.

What’s more, there’s automatic defrost settings meaning all you have to do is input the weight of the food, and the microwave selects the ideal defrost time, saving you time and effort.

Moreover, there are 5 microwave power levels enabling tailoring of your cooking experience.

Avoiding Mishaps

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

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI was concerned that this microwave might be a bit small but we can do everything in it that we did in a greater capacity model. It is easy to operate and very good VFM.

    Bought this 8 months ago and the LED started to all of a sudden change time and cooking modes all by itself. Flashing constantly and bleeping. Contacted Russel Hobbs who were great, gave me a code to give to Amazon for a replacement. AMAZON would not replace.
    BUT Amazon would only refund back to my husbands credit card, since he died 3 weeks previous, I could not do this so I had to take a gift card BUT I have no printer so they want me to carry to the post office. Eventually I had to get a neighbour to print and they would collect, in the meantime i still have no microwave.

    Bought this microwave and it does what it should. Easy to use. It’s not the most powerful but I knew that. Only down side to this microwave and most others is that they have the coated non stick interiors rather than the stainless steel. The non stick coating will eventually start to decay and rust will appear.

    As said, loos good. Easy to clean. Don’t like the ‘fiddly’ start operation. First you have to Dail time, the press another, then press start. Previous was one button start for 30 seconds, or increase before start. However, when yo get the hang of it, it’s OK. Just be aware this is 700w not 800w

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersAbsolutely love this so far. If I’m honest I don’t use my microwave for anything complicated…porrige, baked beans, steaming veg and the occasional defrost. So far I’m delighted with this product…I wanted a digital display and this was one of the best looking microwaves I found with that. I was worried as some of the pictures made the door look black but it is more dark grey which suits my kitchen perfectly.

    Beware! Faulty item. Had it and used very occasionally for 6 months. Used it the last time and electrical/burning smell. Turned it off immediately. This item needs taking off Amazon, why is it still being sold?. Managed to get a full refund, after being told to try the manufacturer, I quoted the Consumer Credit Act and Amazon arranged for item to be collected. Having to put 5 stars to bring it to tops of your review lists as that’s the default Amazon applies. Please avoid!

    This is a great product for any students starting out on their own for the first time. Easy to operate and simple to follow instructions, you can easily mute the alarms sound so it does not keep peeping and as if by magic if you close the door the light goes out, a problem a previous reviewer had.

    Looks nice and I like the blue led light when the microwave is in use. Is a bit noisier than previous models I have had

    Great product. Perfect size. The only downside is that the clock keeps falling behind, so have to keep resting the time. Easy to use and clean.

    Really classy looking and cooks a treat. Only drawback is the blue clock/LED is pretty hard to read from a distance but that may be just me lol

    I found that I had to read and follow the instructions very carefully. The instructions do not make it clear that it is seems necessary to open and shut the door befpre setting the power level. Otherwise it is a nice little machine.

    It doesn’t “slam” when you shut the door, and has a function to mute the annoying beep when its done (great for light sleeping toddlers..)
    Highly recommend!
