Had one before that last many years, although started to rust under the turntable. Microwave unit finally packed up. I couldn’t find another that I liked the look of so bought again. They have changed the internal paint colour and turntable. Hopefully the internal paint will last longer. Overall happy with it. Only gripe is I would prefer buttons instead of a dial to input time because if you want anything more than 5 minutes you seem to be spinning the dial for ages!
I had one of this microwaves before I had it for 6 years so thought I’d replace it with the same model as my old one. As the old one starting to look a bit old.
I always try to buy Russell Hobbs for my kicken appliances because they made top quality stuff and have never been disappointed.
Ive had this microwave for 10 years and it has been trouble free.
I have had to replace the bulb twice and that is it..
The microwave is still going strong but more recently has started to show rust under the bracket the plate sits on so its hime this old boy gets retired..
I was going to buy this microwave again due to it being so reliable for me the last 10 years but have decided to go for a combi microwave instead..
Personally though for me this microwave has been brilliant in every way.
Fairly good condition but not perfect due to the dent , but it’s a good product and I’m happy with it . Heats well, easy to clean , nice design and a great purchase
Looks great just wish I’d got a higher watt as takes a bit of time to heat things up compared to an old same power microwave which seems odd but we are still happy to keep it and adjust times to a little longer when using as it does work.
Easy to use and I love the mirrored effect, it makes the kitchen look so much nicer than the standard looking microwaves. Great value for money and fits my plates in which are slightly larger than a standard plate, so that’s brilliant.
We like the style of the microwave it has a good handle instead of a push release of which I’ve had before and after constant use they don’t work properly plus it looks good with a mirror type doo

Very good product. Smaller than expected but this was a pleasant surprise as it looks great as a replacement for my old one which was slightly bigger. Easy to clean and easy to use. Very stylish looking microwave.
This microwave is very easy to use. I cook rice and baked potatoes in it as well as warming food. It is easy to use and clean. I am quite satisfied with it.
I’ve had this microwave for 5 years. I brought it with a 60 voucher so it was definitely worth the money for me. Good microwave, does the job and has lasted me. We use it pretty much all the time, numerous times a day. Just be sure to check out the watts, it melted a baby bottle slightly so may be too high for some plastics.
Only little quirk is that the ‘quick start’ goes up in 30 second intervals, till it gets to 2.30 minutes, then it skips to 3.30 and misses out 3.00 minutes. Don’t know why.
Still going strong over a year after purchase, very slight signs of rust potentially coming through on a couple of spots at the door rim but all in all great value.
Aesthetically pleasing looking microwave. Easy to use and navigate around. Was scared to purchase because of negative reviews but I can assure you, if you follow instructions carefully. I am sure all will be well. Thank you Amazon.
Pleased with the look very smart. the only downside is the flex was too short to fit in the plug I used on my old microwave, so had to have a new plug fitted.
Christmas Present for my Dad, after blowing up his Microwave. Thanks for the Save! AHAHAHA!
Cheap Price, especially for Russell Hobbs! Love this Product.
First review: After noticing that the microwave I bought didn’t work I have been trying to find a way to contact the seller without making a review but there is no way to either contact the seller, ask a question (the action button doesn’t work), or make a return.
So, I’ll write the problem of the microwave here hoping the seller read this and contact me to help me out in order to get a working appliance.
Since the beginning the microwave powers off by itself after about 2.5 minutes working. And after it, it stays without power for about a minute.
Likewise, the auto cook functions do not work.
I would like to return it and I really appreciate somebody from amazon or the seller to contact me.
Second part of my reviewing:
I contacted Russell Hobbs by its website and I got an excellent customer service support. I got a new microwave after explaining the problem. This one is working well. Thanks!
I wrote the previous review like 9 months ago. Now, I decided to take time to review the product again. About one month ago the new microwave I got as substitute of the first one, stop working. Suddenly, did it.
When I got the second one they told me that it didn’t have additional warranty.
So, I cannot recommend buying this product. These microwaves are defective products.
A great microwave. I bought it for my mum before I moved out, and our whole family used it. No problems with it up to today, with it being regularly used by two children.
A good microwave for the price but 2 issues.
One is that if you close the door a bit lightly (but still actually close the door) the microwave will not cook when you tell it to. Instead the timer just counts down and the microwave doesn’t come on.
The other is that the circular wheel “thing” under the glass plate, that allows the glass plate to rotate, always comes out of place so you are always trying to correct it.
Amazon replaced the first microwave received which had chips in the white paint inside the door. It was brand new so must have happened in transit.
The second microwave is fine, apart from what seems to be an out-dent in the metal. Not doing anything about that now, will keep an eye on it. Russell Hobbs said there’s a 12 month guarantee anyway.
4.0 out of 5 stars Inital microwave had chips, replacement fine
Good product – got it as a surprise for my wife and she loved it. We have been using the product for a variety of purposes and it has delivered good results. Its multipurpose functions come in very handy and assist in simplifying the tasks undertaken.
Delivery was prompt and the next day. Overall good service and a great product to have it in the kitchen.
Love it! Bog standard microwave, completely uncomplicated to use. No need for instruction manual…its that simple!!! (Although one is included!) The service was excellent. Arrived within 2 days which was a lifesaver and that was standard delivery!! Couldn’t ask for more in a product or service. Well deserved 5 star. Thank you
Great little microwave, my last one lasted 5 years and started showing rust but was working well, bought another easy to set digital timer , power level the lot !!!, really good looking microwave, recommend !!! value for money !!!!
I took ages picking a mic as I wanted easy to use and pleased I selected this one. Fits perfect in place of my last one which lasted 15 years. Looks nice and works a treat. Great delivery service
Once I ordered the microwave I couldn’t wait for it to arrive as we use it a lot in the family. It arrived quickly and securely packed. The instructions were very clear and once plugged in, 8 months on – still works and looks just like on the first day. It warms up the food very quickly. It’s got different options, such as – defrost and auto cooking and also options for different foods – pizza, milk, coffee, fish, pasta etc, once you select the product, then you select the amount (in grams) and it prepares/warms up the meal perfectly. I was also a bit worried about cleaning the microwave, as it’s got mirrored doors, but it’s really hassle-free cleaning outside as well as inside of the microwave. I absolutely live the design of it and it looks amazing in our kitchen. Definitely great purchase!
It looks really nice and has all the functions you’d need for a basic microwave. I really did like the digital timer wheel which works very well. One thing that annoys me is the beeping that is made on every button press, I’m still looking for a way to disable it. Coming from my old microwave dinosaur of a machine I didn’t find this to be particular loud however that may just be me. I’ll update this review in a few months to update on the performance of the machine.
Purchased this when my previous Russell Hobbs microwave stopped working. Have to say, this looks much better than my previous one, the mirrored door is stylish. I mostly use it to heat up soup and cook ready meals and microwave chips. It works fine and is no noisier than any other microwave I’ve owned. The mirrored door is easy to see through once the microwave is in operation. Overall I’m very pleased with this purchase.
This is a great looking microwave and is a perfect size. I don’t understand how it has so many bad reviews as I have had no problems with it what so ever. It’s a little loud but not incredibly annoying or louder than my previous microwave. I actually love this microwave as it does so much more than a standard microwave, it has different settings for different foods such as rice etc, the power can be turned down to whatever you want and there’s a defrost option.
Very good microwave. It doesn’t do anything any other microwave doesn’t do but I like the style and look of it very much.
Good quality item and I recommend if you want quality
When it came I died!! I love it!!! So beautiful and sleek looking. Easy to use haven’t even bothered reading the booklet that tells you how to work it. Definitely would recommend this
Very please with this. It does what It says… never bothered with all the pre setting but it works!
Had one before that last many years, although started to rust under the turntable. Microwave unit finally packed up. I couldn’t find another that I liked the look of so bought again.

Lovely clean lines on this microwave, easy to keep clean. Unfortunately I’m still trying to work out how to use the auto cook functio
Two years after purchase and this is still the best microwave I’ve used. Really simple and fast, easy to clean, and great value for money
Very good looking, slightly smaller than anticipated. Might be a fingermark nightmare due to mirrored front finish.
Very nice mirowave came with tiny scratch but not really noticeable and couldn’t be bothered to send back.
Lovely looking

Love this Microwave – clean lines, looks great, easy to clean and use !!
Writing this review 4 months after purchase and still love it. Good purchase this was
Best microwave we have that we have used. Features are easy to understand.
Very happy with my love the size fits my bigger plates comfortably
Easy to use and I love the mirrored effect, it makes the kitchen look so much nicer than the standard looking microwaves. Great value for money and fits my plates in which are slightly larger than a standard plate, so that’s brilliant.
Looks good and much less bulky than our old microwave but still decent size inside!
We use this for defrost and warm up, perfect size for a plate and does the job. Good aesthetic too. More than happy with it.
Cool microwave. Nice like jazz on a Sunday morning. Our lives have improved since owning one.
Nice compact little microwave. Nice looking with dark mirrored front .Easy to use . No issues
Just love everything about this microwave, it does all it says and looks stunning.
We like the style of the microwave it has a good handle instead of a push release of which I’ve had before and after constant use they don’t work properly plus it looks good with a mirror type doo

Really modern microwave, really please with purchase, easy to use and looks good!
Easy to use and clean, value for money and looks stylish.
Very modern look , classy with mirror finish front . Compact and easy to use .
Had this microwave just over a month. Loads of settings but easy to use. Quiet compared to other microwaves I have had and I really love the colour.
Good looking, easy to use, looks very crisp in the kiche
Was a bit tricky when your not used to digital but soon have it mastered
Great Microwave, easy to work, looks great on my side. Quiet & beeps are at reasonable level too.
Easy to use, looks nice in our kitchen and a good brand at good value.

Cannot fault, love the mirrored look and the dial moves really nicely. It’s also much quieter than our previous microwave.

Great microwave – so much better than my last one and does everything I need without being over-complicated. Plus it looks really smart!
I am so happy with my microwave! I think I’m getting old when I get excited about new microwave:-)
It’s okay, does what it should but does rust at back if not cleaned after a few uses.
Still going strong over a year after purchase, very slight signs of rust potentially coming through on a couple of spots at the door rim but all in all great value.
Nice one overall. However, I am experiencing a problem and I want to contact the seller. Can any one help?

Perfect replacement for previous microwave, that had lasted ten years, so far.

o issues so far (6 months) compact which is perfect for me. Mirrored front is lovely and no rusting so far.
Very good microwave. We use it every day to heat up food
Really stunning microwave. Looks a lot nicer than the picture
Fantastic sturdy microwave. Russell Hobbs sort of own this market. Was lower than last one for sink but 4 futnature casters pads fixed tha
It’s a great stylish microwave with good build quality and it performs as it should do with no issues.
Nice looking modern microwave, decent price and had no problems with it so far! Works well at 800W

Russell Hobbs RHM2017 20L Silver Digital Microwave
Does collect a lot of condensation having to wipe it out but does the job and looks lovely

Pretty good but can’t seem to cook popcorn with it. The popcorn setting only pops about half a bag and the other power settings over cook it.

A great present for a nephews new flat, just what he wanted
I can see why this item is so popular -deservedly so, being easy to set up & use, lightweight, and with a small footprint..
So pleased with this Microwave, very simple and easy to operate.
Bought for daughter who has 4 small boys – she loves it and put it to work the minute it was unpacked. Looks great, works a treat and a bargain price
The buttons/dial is a bit annoying but it looks nice and works well at a good price
