Russell Hobbs RHM2064R 20 Litre 800 W Red Digital Heritage Microwave with 5 Power Levels, Automatic and Weighted Defrost Settings, 8 Auto Cook Menus, Clock & Timer, Easy Clea
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 RHM2064 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.

This microwave looks really nice and matches our other cream kitchen appliances. The mirrored front gets fingerprints on easily, but it’s not a big issue. There are a lot of functions I’ll never in all honesty use, but they may be useful to some people (e.g. weight/time defrost/cook, pre-sets, auto-cook by ingredient etc). I just press the 30 secs button the number of times I want something heated, and for that, it does the job brilliantly! If I had one quibble it’s the yellow light inside – I wish it were whiter, as it’s a bit odd. It’s also tricky to see inside when things are cooking, but I think most microwaves are. The red clock is quite bright and I wish it was perhaps a different colour (white or blue perhaps), but again, not a big deal.
Bought this item in 2021. Not even 3years old yet. Was using it to heat porridge for 2mins 30 secs and it BURST into flames!!
The circular ring with plastic wheel that the rotating plate sits on seems to have caught fire, melted itself AND MELTED THROUGH THE GLASS PLATE as per the photograph’s. Took hours for the smell to leave. Phoned RH. NO HELP “out of warranty. Take it up with your seller, Amazon”.
DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY REASONS. They (RH) had to do a product recall for similar reasons on their combo microwave/oven product a few years back so what does that say about the quality of their products and them only having a 1year guarantee? I registered this product the day I received it. What was the point? I WILL NEVER BUY RH AGAIN especially as the customer service was so bad. Not even an acknowledgment or apology for the stress and disruption this caused me!! DISGRACEFUL
Nice, sleek, compact design. Much faster and more efficient at heating and cooking through than any previous microwave I’ve used. Only concern is that the door opening button feels weak.
Sleek and stylish looking, exactly what I was looking for . For the style and size of my kitchen fits in perfectly . Easy to use , haven’t used it for everything it do yet , but basic use absolutely perfect, cleans well. Only negative I can say about it if I’m being picky is the plate seems to clunk around a little when in use but it’s in place properly and won’t come off so absolutely fine , very good purchase overall and very happy.
I ordered my second microwave after mine eventually gave up.
But was handled roughly and had to replace two orders. But quality with Russell Hobbs is amazing- exceptionally pleased. And issue was sorted out.
Bought this to match the toaster & kettle, was a bit overwhelmed when it arrived I thought I’m not going to get the hang of this, but once I started using it it’s brilliant, love how you can defrost by weight or time. it looks great on the kitchen worktop, really pleased I kept trying it was worth it.
Does the job for us as a couple however the clock on these runs a few mins faster.
After a month’s use the clock was 4min ahead of time. I know someone who has the same microwave with the same issue.
Not major but inconvenient when running late for work.
Revamped my kitchen recently. Great microwave lovely colour, so easy to use , pleased with it, I use it regularly, no problems as of now. GLR19.
It’s the same model as last one which we have had for a number of years
Product looks good. Bought for my in-laws who are really delighted with it.
Nothing too complicated here, stylish and controls are easy to use. Cooks well.
This is the second one I have had and have always been satisfied
Love this microwave. I have a few Russell Hobbs items in my kitchen and my mocrowave died. So onto Amazon and got this one woth next day delivery. Great item really pleased and fairly easy to work. Does what it says so I am happy.
Has the same one for 5 years it’s a replacement as the previous one stopped working but it was used every day so I felt we’d had our moneys worth great microwave would definitely recommend
Looks lovely in my new fitted kitchen. Is small but takes a regular dinner plate. Does not take the bigger plates eg square plates. Takes a little getting used to how it works but overall very pleased.
The microwave internally is smaller than I would have thought given the outer dimensions. An 11inch dinner plate is a tight fit and has to be turned on its side slightly in order to place it inside. Not vey practical if the plate is fully loaded!!
The handbook that came with the microwave was extremely confusing, and I resorted to a trial and error method in order to use the microwave!!! The technical department needs to address this issue.
I have kept the microwave simply because of its cosmetic appearance which is pleasing and I was restricted to choice because I needed an oven in a cream colour.
I hope this review will help future purchasers.
Love this microwave, easy to use, easy to clean, looks good in our kitche
