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 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 RHMM701 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. | Avoiding MishapsTo 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 |

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.
Excellent and looks good!
Brilliant little microwave bought this as bought Russel Hobbs retro set to match. We think this is perfect for a family who doesn’t use a microwave that often but on saying that this microwave is 700 our last one was 800 but this is much better.
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.
Microwave
Very stylish but pings before zero so have to cook longe
Very Happy
This was for the mother in law for xmas but she needed it now and she loves i
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.
Easy to use
Very happy with this microwave easy to use and clea
Simple to use and compac
Does what it needs to do. Just select power level and time. I have no need for added functions of most microwaves.
Also, looks to be good quality as you would expect from Russell Hobbs.

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.
Russell Hobbs 17 litre, 700watt, black microwave, excelle
Like microwave very much. Compact, dials easy to read but note it is only 700 watts. This is more than enough for my usage. Use for baked potatoes, ready meals, breakfast porridge.
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 )
KINDEST REGARDS.

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
Sleek, and compact!
Great looking product, and fits in seamlessly with my Russell hobs kettle, and toaster of the same colour. It’s all white interior is a bit challenging to keep clean, and pristine, but it’s worth the effort.
Great Value
A lovely and very stylish microwave with matching kettle and toaster gave my kitchen a nice refresh without spending too much
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.
Decent basic microwave, would recommend
This microwave is very easy to use since it literally is just two dials on the front. No screen or digital components which could sometimes be confusing. Very easy to clean, just a standard microwave really. Would definitely recommend.
Ping
It goes round while making a humming noise and then goes ping.
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.
Very good.
Looks very smart, easy to use and a good price. No complaints at all.
Great value for money
Nice design,works perfectly!I have it from a long time and I am pretty happy!
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.
a great microwave.
Easy to use, pretty much no need for instructions at all.
Best microwave I’ve ever bough
I like this so much I bought one for the staff at the office
Looks great in our kitchen.
Got this to replace our old faulty microwave. It had to be red as we have a red toaster & kettle. And the chrome handle on the door just made this microwave look the part also impressed with the price considering it’s from Russell & Hobbs!
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
Looks amazing, only used it once but seems to he working fine.
Good little microwave
Did find it cheaper in asda after I bought it. Good little microwave if you have a small kitchen.
Stylish and easy to use
Very stylish. Easy to use. No problems with 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.
Simple to use
Bought for an elderly relative, just needed something simple and easy to use. This fits the bill perfectly with one dial for time setting and one dial for power setting.
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
Timer and cable
Happy with this microwave, but I would have been happier if the 30 seconds were marked out the the dial as many recipes require half minutes and it is difficult to judge with this dial. Also would be happier if cable was 12 inches longer.
endy good quality microwave
Really good quality, trendy looking microwave for the money, love i
👍
No light inside so don’t know what happening inside the microwave.
Easy peasy to use and to clean .
I love this red shiny microwave. Does the job for 3 girlies that don’t cook much.
And a bargain at 37 quid from Amazon warehouse.
Smart and easy to use microwave
Love my microwave it’s smart and very easy to use
buy it excellent value fab colou
loved it, despite being a second couldn’t fault it , kind del guy carried it through as bulky
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.
ALL GOOD
Nice addition to my kitchen,I use it daily and find it easy and efficie
Very good value for money
Fantastic microwave at a great value price easy and straightforward to use
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.
Microwave
Just smaller than I thought. Normal dinner plate does not fit in. Have to use small plates
Very good value
This microwave is just the right colour and size that I wanted.Very easy to use and the delivery wa on time.
Easy to use
Purchased for my 90 year old mother in law who finds it easy to operate which was the main reason for purchase as digital ones were to complicated for her. She’s been using it for some time now with out any trouble. Anything for an easy time! She loved the colour which matches her other kitchen assessories.
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.
Excellent value for money
A lovely colour to go with my kitchen. Simply operated and easy to use, I would recommend this.
Value for money
Very good value for the money. Only problem is light is so dull can’t see the food. Apart from that very good.
Easy to use
Like this microwave seems good quality and works well. Just using it to heat lunches at work socant comment on other uses
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.
Nice colou
Bought this microwave to replace my old one. I like the colour to match my other kitchen appliances. The timer not digital, so if you want to heat under one minute (for example, 10 seconds) , you have to count by yourself. Except this, I quite like it.
Red microwave
Lovely deep colour . excellent delivery and well worth the price
Great value for money microwave
No bells and whistles. Just a very good, simple microwave.
Good price
Looks lovely and is vert easy to use. Would be better if it had buttons for the settings rather than a dial, but for the price it’s brillia
Microwave
The name speaks for itself, quality and you wont be sorry buying this item.
Highly recommended
Russell Hobbs Mcrowave
Not sure about the ring inside where the plate sits, why should it move around, cannot see the point of 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.
Lovely looking and good quality
Lovely microwave. Looks really nice and is easy to clean, always comes up looking like new.
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
My mom loves i
It’s large enough for a big plate, should be more than suitable for regular reheating.
Excellent value for money and nice retro look
I bought this for a friend who likes simple machines. This is perfect for her. It is a nice looking piece of equipment and is simple to use. Excellent value for money
Perfect...
All good so far with this very simple to operate little microwave. Works well and looks very nice in our matching kitchen with other related appliances. Bought at a great price so no complaints.
ussell hobbs manual microwave
I find this microwave just right for my purpose as I am getting older and feel it is simple to use for an older perso
Loves the colou
Purchased for my Mother in law as her first ever Microwave she finds it easy to use
Nice looking & simple to use.
This was bought as a present for family member. She is really pleased with it and it’s very simple to operate.
I have found this product to be very good value for the price
This product matches really well with my kitchen, it is a nice looking microwave, you would think it would cost a lot more than it did. It was delivered quickly and I am really pleased with this easy to use microwave.
Lovely looking and works well
Bought for my mother for her new flat. Lovely size and lovely colour. Fits perfect and coordinates well. Works good too. All in all great buy
Perfect one person microwave
I needed a new microwave. This is perfect for one person with small space. Good value the colour is lovely. The price is very reasonable.
It was delivered within 24 hours. I was amazed. Terrific service. Thank you.
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.
I look forward to your prompt response on this matter. As recommended by Trading Standards, I would like to keep a complete record of my case, so please reply to this email address.
Happy custome
Good little microwave, brought the set all in the same colour, microwave, kettle and toaster. Good brand and arrived on time.
Excellent produc
Arrived on time it’s a grand colour nice size works as it should I’m 100percent satisfied i would buy again from this seller thanks
Looks great and does the job
Does the job but looks great – very simple microwave so not all singing all dancing but for 48 quid I cannot fault and matchs well other cream Russell Hobbs kitchen items.
Very good microwave I don’t think we have ever had one that has lasted this long. We had a tendency to blow them up but this one is pretty good!
Works well, nice microwave
Needed a new microwave, fancied one in cream this time. Found this one, small enough and old style manual which is what I like. Works well so far. Very happy. Arrived well packaged.

O like the look of microwave however the functionality not so much. Its a simple microwave and i would give it a 5 but if you want to warm something up for a minute you first need to turn it onto 2 and then back to one minute.

I love the simplicity of the settings
I love the simplicity of the settings, is very compact though, a normal sized dinner plate just about fits inside.

Lovely looking retro microwave. Bit fiddly if you want just a minute on the timer. Impossible to do less than a minute. But hey its retro
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.
Love the look and works fab
Love the look and works fab. Quick and good delivery. Only annoying thing is anything needed under 2 minutes u have to turn over 2 minutes then back again and I do forget at times.
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.
Five Stars
Easy to use and just the right colour by day to open door and use timer as I’m disabled now its going rusty in side not happy with it looks like I’m going to buy another one

Works as intended
Quite a bit noisier than I imagined, then again, I lived without one of these for the past 4 years so as far as I’m concerned it’s perfect. The chrome is a bit of a fingerprint magnet though.
Just righ
I don’t like digital microwaves as I just don’t have the patience for them. So glad I made the decision to order manual version.
This microwave is just perfect for my everyday no use.
If you want something simple and you have a fear of technology this is ideal.
Find it ok though not as powerful as our old one. The beauty of the Digital Microwave is they’re much more controllable than this type. But my wife wanted a more simpler model. Hence buying this one.

smart and compact.
Very nice little microwave. Very smart and matches my kitchen. My only complaint is that the door is a little dark and I cannot see in to see what is happening. I have not read that on any other review of this item so it could be my eyesight. That aside, I would recommend.
