Russell Hobbs RHMM701R 17 Litre 700 W Red Solo Manual Microwave with 5 Power Levels, Ringer & Timer, Defrost Setting, Easy Clean


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 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 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

    A great compact microwave.
    First impressions photographs don’t really do it justice looks much better out of the box than it did on Amazon it’s a compact unit fitting nicely into a small space with simple operation set the power and set the time and wait for the ding takes a 10 inch plate quite easily and after the first use everything seems grand may need a little bit of clean straight out of the box. Overall very happy.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersExcellent easy to use microwave
    I am so pleased with this microwave . It is so easy to use even my husband can use it. He alway struggled with our last one we had that was digital and you needed to press this and that and also turn a knob and if you didn’t do it in the right order it wouldn’t work. This is so easy. You do have to turn the timer to 2 minutes first and if you want less time you just need to turn it back to what you want. This is not a problem. I have bad arthritis my hands but the switches are easy to turn. It also looks lovely in our kitchen as the cream matches the rest of my items. I highly recommend it. 5*****

    Very good for small family
    If there are more than 5 people in your home then go for bigger one, but for us 4 this is working best since 4 months as of now, the cabin size is quiet small but even plates with larger size will fit in it.

    Just what we wanted.
    The colour was just what I wanted, and the free dishes were a bonus. The omlette dish is great, only big enough for a small one but that’s fine for me.

    Ok but the sticker is a nightmare
    Ok microwave for the money easy to use.
    However placing a sticker above the control knobs is just dumb
    The sticker is just to inform re two minutes set then turn back if less time needed
    The stickers large on top of the controls and took forever to get off
    You have to use warm soapy water to get the sticker off, so obviously it’s going
    to drip on the control knobs ! But n the manual it says DONT get the knobs wet !!
    Why put a sticker on it anyway is ridiculous ! Stick it on the Manual!
    It actually says the same thing in the manual anyway !

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersA reliable workhorse.
    It’s a doddle to use, easy clean and doesn’t take up much space. If you need less than two minuets, just turn the time-dial further clockwise and back again. Its longevity is also a great plus.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersGreat compact microwave.
    We bought this to replace our very old Toshiba which was too big for the space we had in our new house. It’s quite small (can’t fit my wine glass in to warm my wine) but does the job nicely for everything else. Nothing to complain about so far. Would definitely recommend if you need a compact microwave.

    Smart little microwave
    Neat little maroon unit, the colour we wanted. Appears well made. My wife likes the analogue knobs but I prefer the accuracy of our old digital oven. Having said that, it’s easy to use, you just have to stand over it if you want a cooking time of less than a minute as that is hard to set accurately.

    Basic Microwave - does what it needs to!
    simple to use and does what it needs to. does seem a bit pricey for this feature point though.. and had my wife not insisted on red I probably would have got a cheaper version in a white/black/silve

    only bad point is timer buttom.. You need to turn over 2 minutes and return after what time you want and after a lot of use maybe will broke… We will see after 1 year..

    Good for small areas
    Don’t like the door, it’s rather like a mirror and you can’t see anything inside when it’s cooking. Took some getting used to regarding the cooking temp only been 700. Plus is that it’s great for small areas, not too intrusive on a work surface. It’s a nice design but the door front is quite useless unless you want to obsessively look at yourself or may be do your hair and make-up while cooking. You just can’t see inside the microwave to checkout the food, the door needs changing.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersGood value Microwave
    Easy to use – just 2 dials so you don’t need an engineering degree to work out how to cook your food.
    Simply select the power level with one, and the time with the other.

    Much quieter than my previous one. The only downside is that I find the light display isn’t very bright when cooking.
    However , overall I must say am very pleased with this product.

    Basic but nice enough
    A basic model but does what I need it to do, which is warm things up. Can be a bit slow and was going to return it for this but decided to keep it as it’s easy for the kids to use. Looks nice too.

    Lovely little microwave
    Bought this to replace a fancy (large) combo microwave grill – which was far too complicated for what we wanted. This one looks great, uses far less energy as there is no display and no internal light and perfect size and power for what we want, which is heating up meals, milk, beans etc.

    Great looking, neat, microwave
    I bought this as our last un branded microwave started to rust on the inside, the smell was not nice as evertime it was used the dampness got involved with the rust and discoloured. Since buying this microwave, its like a dream to clean, lietrally you can just wipe it over, I chose to properly wash the plate though. It is really nice looking , we got the silver/chrome. I feel happier it is a brand rather than a nondiscript model, hopefully it will last much longer than my last one. The dials of which there are two, make it so easy to operate, one is for temperature and the other is for time. The dials are easy to use even if you suffer with bad grip. It is reasonably quiet, it works perfectly. A good buy.

    Great if you want a basic microwave, which I did. It fit the bill perfectly.
