Great produc
I love this microwave I’ve had the same one for about 8 years or more but the inside started to peel but for the time I’ve had it and the amount of time it’s used so not bad so decided to get the same again so reliable and looks really good with the mirror on front and polishes up lovely 8 would highly recommend
product is good
i have been using this product for one month now and i have not seen a single issue. It is value for money
Broke down after 1 yea
Had very light use as I live alone broke down after 13 months of usage
Looks good but not worth the money
Impressive
I like this looks nice works no problem gas lot of features I have to admit I don’t use but there if you choose to
Grea
Bought the same one before great microwave easy to use
Love the style
I am pleased with this microwave, it looks really good , it will take me a bit of time to get used to all the different settings as I not used this type before , it goes well with some of my other Russell hobbs items in the same cream colour , also arrived a day earlier which good .
Good quality produc
Nice product, however I still don’t understand the settings yet. But this is a nice product to have in kitchen and besides Russel Hobbs products normally have good quality so this is fine.
I like it that this is not the strongest and hottest microwave out there because I find that the food heats more evenly this way. It may take a few more seconds for the pop corn to pop but I’m left with less unpopped kenals at the end! Its easy to clean and a sleek design.
Easy to use and easy to repair if you're an engineer here
No point me leaving at photo as it still looks brand new and I’ve had mine for years I’ve burnt out the magnetron three times now and replaced it but I love this microwave and rather than buy new one I just buy a new magnetron and fit it but I am an engineer I don’t understand all these other reviews with people with rust I can only imagine that the old ones are better than the newer ones who knows maybe they just don’t clean it or someone else in their family just doesn’t clean it and leaves it’s soaking wet you have to clean them at the end of the day it’s a microwave is not a made and it does not say self-cleaning anywhere so don’t be lazy and look after your microwave and I’m sure you will get years of pleasure from i
5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECT
Ordered and received much quicker than predicted. Delivery company polite and helpful. Microwave looks smart easy to clean good options when using good price. Perfectly happy, thank you.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great!
This microwave is very easy to use! Never had a problem with i
Usage
I love the way it looks, it’s easy cleaned. If you read instructions it’s easy to use all the settings but if your like me and hate them it can be tricky but it’s not the most complicated thing in the world.
4.0 out of 5 stars It does what it’s supposed to do.
It’s noisy compared to my previous microwave, but it does the job.
Lovely compact microwave would definitely recommend
Had a Russel Hobbs microwave for many years was getting a bit old found this new like for like product didn’t hesitate in purchasing great compact microwave would definitely recommend
Speedy Replaceme
I had this microwave for 6 years and loved it. Unfortunately it suddenly rusted inside and I wanted the same one as loved the style and operation so ordered this replacement. Speedily delivered and very happy with it.
Happy house warming gif
This was a house warming gift for my son who was very pleased with the everything about the microwave.
I will be purchasing another when my nephew moves into his new home.
A basic straightforward microwave and the aftersale service is excellent. Mine developed a fault which I reported to the seller, I got an immediate response and a quick, no questions asked delivery of a replacement with a pickup of the old microwave. Buy with confidence.
Right price easy to use modern looking
Very stylish looking microwave easy to use clean and tidy great colour
Not so happy about the outer box as that was damaged in places the inner box had slight dents.
More care needed in delivery
It’s still a great buy
I’m just over the moon to have a new microwave. The old one was literally knackered and it’s so nice to look at this fresh, new thing on my unit.
I’ve used it for the first time today by warming up a packet of microwave rice. The ones you buy ready cooked in a pouch.
2 mins at full power.
It’s accomplished that successfully so I’m muy happy.
New microwave
I am delighted with this little microwave. Takes a little longer to adjust times to suit otherwise a nice little microwave. Love the mirror door and you can actually see what is cooking.
I thought this was perfect until...
A perfect little microwave for my small kitchen. I was extremely happy with it until the bulb went in under a month. I’ve never ever had to replace a microwave bulb before after decades of using them. Not good!
Does the job
So far so good. Tbh it’s a bit complicated in learning how to work it. It’s been great though. Minimal lingering smells.
Make sure if you’re buying a microwave you buy stainless steel interior and not enameled.
If I was to buy again I wouldn’t buy this one. Only found out about the stainless steal V enamel afterwards.
Still happy but it’s not a long life
(review for Russell Hobbs RHM1714WC, sold by Amazon Nov2020). Microwaves don’t seem to last long these days, so thought I may as well try a cheap one. At 55.99 this fitted the bill, and I’m pleasantly surprised to find it doesn’t seem cheap or nasty, so first impressions are that it is amazingly good value.
There is a separate page of safety info and then the manual itself gets to page 10 before the list of precautions finishes, leaving one thinking it may be safest never to plug the device in. There is also some info that I would have liked before purchase, like the large amount of clearance needed around it (approx 3″ at sides and back and 12″ above). However it is well written, in English, and uses a font size that is suitable for reading, which sets it several light-years ahead of some competitor’s offerings.
It took quite some time to set up the kitchen around the requirements, but once done it seems to work as expected. Very briefly a ‘new’ hot kind of smell but by the second use this was gone. I was hoping to just turn the dial and press go, like previous machines I’ve had, but this one selects the preset rather than time by default so another button needs to be pressed first; not ideal but easy enough to get used to. There are quite a lot of identical buttons which are labelled with modestly sized text, so (unlike my last model, which was clearer) reading glasses are needed to operate it.
It seems to have quite a range of functions, more than many budget models, and so far has done everything I’ve tested it at. The only significant down-side is that the traditional ‘ping’ is loud enough to seem more like an alarm – and it goes off whenever a button is pressed, then ‘four’ times when it finishes heating, then four times again after a pause if one doesn’t open the door in time (then opening the door also sets it off, though just the once). This might be useful for the hard of hearing, except it is also quite high pitched, but it has already been commented on by the neighbours (in an adjoining flat) and I’ve only had it a day; it really doesn’t seem very suitable for early-morning breakfast time unless there is some way to shut it up that I’ve not seen yet.
But overall very pleased with it for the price. If it will last as long as the previous microwaves I’ve had, which failed within months of the warranty expiring, then I shall consider it to be much better value.
Does what it needs
Does what I need it to do. No instructions so I have no idea what the buttons do or how to use them so have to just go on how long I want it on for.
Decent microwave, worth the price.
Our current Microwave stopped working and we needed a new one asap. We didn’t want to spend loads but didn’t want to just buy the cheapest one and it be rubbish. So we went for this.
Looks great and seems to be working just fine, only time will tell now.
I bought this microwave for my brother as a gift.
At the time they did not own a microwave so I wanted to get one that I would buy for myself.
I did alot of research and weighed up many microwaves.
This came out on top overall and I think it looks sleek too.
I would buy it for myself too.
Pros
– Good value.
– Sleek design.
– Looks nice in the kitchen.
– Looks tiny but has decent capacity.
– Somewhat straightforward to begin using.
– Easy to get out of packaging.
Cons
– Overly complex button scheme, requires multiple button presses to do something as simple as 10 second increments.
– The weight adjust sometimes doesn’t make sense, e.g. for milk it says numbers 1 to 3, what do these mean? There’s enough space on the display to show extra info such as ‘grams’, ‘milliliters’ and so forth.
– There were fingerprints all over the mirror finish, definitely not mines.
Well presented
It is a nice produt, compact and good if you have a small kitchen as mine. In the future I will updade since I didn’t use it too much. But so far there is no big problem. The only problem is that the spinning plate wheels keep leaving theur path easily (-1 star).
The user manual is simple and easy to understand.
The product was very wrapped to protect against possible delivery damages.
Worth a place in any kitche
This is the first microwave that I have owned , and now I know what I have been missing . Good value for money , does all that I ask for, an excellent buy.
Ideal item at a great price
Needed it for a job load and tenants are happy with it. Happy tenants happy landlord. Price is perfect and arrived quickly. Looks amazing and well worth the price. Great seller as well.
Grea
This microwave is the complete package. It looks slightly retro and I love that about it.
It’s 700w and the timer took a few tries to get the hang of. Press the big round button once for a 30 second time and twice for one minute but then it skips from 2 mins 30 seconds and jumps to 3 mins 30 bit saying that as it’s only 700watts 3.30 is better than 3 mins. Looks great in the kitchen and really clean looking with the black glass. I’m glad I got this over a more expensive model. Highly recommend
Love my microwave , excellent produc
This was very well packaged, came when expected and is very easy to use. It looks very classy as the black mirrored glass door makes it look expensive and so easy to work .
Pure Kitchen Bling😍
Just right for small to moderate cooking. It’s not large but, it does fit a large dinner plate in for re-heating food.
Timer goes down in ‘second’ increments (for you obsessive perfectionists)
It has a reminder bell, and a repeat alarm if you don’t open the door.
Plus loads if other useful settings.
It has it all really, just not “Big Size”.
Looks very pretty on the unit with that mirror glass
Needed an upgrade from my previous Russell Hobbs microwave as I had taken care of the item over the past 4 years it was clearly overdue.
This model is bigger than my last sorry I don’t know the model and ever since I purchased the product I’ve had compliments that is, in fact, bigger and sleeker and the fact that it has child lock is a bonus…I do enjoy having a clock monitor but also being able to type in how much my defrosted chicken weighs to then tell me how long it will take to cook is a dream invest you won’t regret i
Like it and cooks well
Cakes rise very evenly and are a lovely golden brown colour. Having used it for a couple of months, I am finding that the rotating plate is very noisy as it turns which is a bit annoying. It’s also a bit stiff and jerks round rather than turning smoothly. But cooks well and the stainless interior is quite easy to keep clean.

Have been using this microwave for about 3 months and it still looks as new. It’s got lots of functions on it, although have only used the main microwave and defrosting features. Not had any issues with it being too small, everything (bowls and jugs etc) fits fine and I like how it gives you a reminder beep a few minutes after it has finished if you don’t open the door, so if you’re in another room and don’t hear it finish, you’ll know your food is done.
For the price this is one of the best microwaves i have bought, with help from an amazon voucher :).
This microwave will do what most expensive microwaves will do. i do advise to have a quick read of the menu because it can do things my partners 120 pound microwave cant. Even though this is rated at 700 watt just add or minus ten seconds and it come out perfect. easy to clean inside (not the largest space) the door takes regular cleaning as you can basically use it like a mirror.

Looks good
Looks nice in my kitchen, I wanted a smaller microwave so I had more bench space. It’s easy to wipe down and I’m happy with it. Only down side, it doesn’t have a quick one minute button which I’m used to but works well non the less
A neat black casing & smart appearance. Cleans up well, easy to use. Goes beautifully with our toaster & kettle. Admittedly after 4 previous microwaves over the years the only thing it’s taking a little time to get used to is the range of manual temperatures available. They are 100%, 80, 60, 40 & 20% of full power whereas we’re accustomed to 100, 70, 50, 30, & 10%. No great problem though, we’re happy with the purchase.
Great microwave
This compact microwave replaced a Samsung combo oven I had for around 3 years and I never used the grill part and was awful to clean, this one does the job well and is much easier to clean inside, love it and great price too
A very modern looking microwave with lots of quick preset settings for things like poultry to popcorn.
Very happy with the microwave, and even better, was the price, especially for a Russel Hobbs microwave
Does exactly what I need it to, although it’d be nice if setting a straight forward cook time was slightly easier – you seem to have to set the power or choose a mode before the cook time, there’s no rapid cook default like on most microwaves.
... ok up to now Im guessing products aren't built like they used to be
Seems ok up to now
Im guessing products aren’t built like they used to be ?
During the war all stuff was ment to last !…
Working very well. Looks good. Bought to replace a much more expensive microwave that rusted. Only reason for the 4 stars is that in the instructions, it tells you that you cannot use this microwave to heat up things like heat packs and wheat bags for some reason or other which is very annoying. Had I been aware of that fact, I probably would not have bought it in the first place but it was too much effort to send it back plus it is doing the job of heating food and drinks up fine.
Simple and easy to use!
Great value for money when I purchased it at 45, it has pre set options for heating things such as milk, rice etc. It also has a great defrost setting which allows you to defrost your food according to the weight of it. In brief this microwave is simple and easy to use and has very stylish looks.
Great microwave in looks and quality.
Very please with this microwave. Kept my old one for years as it still worked but it took up so much room on the work surface, so glad I bought this one, it looks stunning and is so nice and compact, the quality is excellent and to be honest I really cannot fault it at all. Wish I had bought it months ago.
After our last microwave decided it wanted to be a flamethrower instead, we took to Amazon to find our replacement.
The days of visiting places like currys or Argos are long gone – the remit was to find a microwave that could microwave food, wasn’t too ugly, wasn’t dayglo white and was under 50.
This RH unit fitted the bill and I’m pleased to report it has managed to microwave everything we’ve put in it and there are not yet any signs of flamethrowing tendances.
We would have preferred the 20L unit but it was out of stock and in fairness, 17L will fit most people’s needs – we have rather large dinner plates which fit in here just fine.
pleased
My wife is very pleased with her new microwave and appreciates many of the features on it. Our previous microwave (a Sharps, also purchased through Amazon) was disappointing and the interior very quicly showed signs of rust.
