Nice design and easy to use. If you want a basic microwave that looks good it’s ideal.
I bought the kettle and toaster in this honeycomb range ,really stylish ,excellent value for money
Really pleased with this item ,easy to use
Would give 5/5 for looking nice. Honeycomb design is catchy. The dials are however slippery and can be a slight struggle to rotate if hands wet.
Would have preferred a digital function considering the price.
Simple, easy to use microwave which looks good as it matches my De’Longhi kettle & toaster. Very happy with my purchase.
But to be fair I only use it it heat up my dogs food so it’s good for me
I bought this to match the kettle and toaster I already have. Reasonably priced and works as you’d expect. I only use it to heat up the occasional plate of leftovers but it is quite small if you plan on doing any more than that.
First impressions: this is in my opinion what I would call a retro style with a modern makeover. Everything is a manual operation with twist dials for the timer and power setting and a traditional ping when the cycle is complete. The finish is a nice black gloss with the honeycomb pattern covering the main control panel which sets off nicely against the chrome dials and handle. The main door panel is embossed with the logo and it has four rubber feet on the bottom so sits nice and securely on a flat surface.
After unpacking everything I gave the inside a clean out and decided to give it a try out by cooking some scrambled egg. This does not have a digital display or a mass of settings to adjust so it was a simple case of set the power and timer and away it went. I didn’t set it to a specific time as I needed to stir while cooking, and it cooked them perfectly. I have been using it now daily for over a week and can’t really fault it. I tested out all the different power settings and they work as expected doing a good job.
Overall this is a simple basic and in my opinion aimed at people who don’t want or need all the bells and whistles added such as grilling functions, digital display, timer and clock. It has a nice look to it with a traditional manual style operation and for someone looking for simplicity I think this would be ideal.
This is a decent, sturdy compact microwave with basic dial controls and no LED screen. The microwave is easy to use with simple control dials. At 700W, this is on the less powerful end of the scale, but still works quickly and efficiently. The compact size does mean that this might be a problem for some plate sizes: this is too small to hold our 12″ dinner plates, but our 10.5″ salad plates fit just fine. The build quality of this is mixed.
Overall, this is a sturdy, well-made feeling microwave — but the control dials and the door handle are made from a shiny, metal-effect coated plastic. This plastic looks and feels cheap — particularly on the dials. A bit disappointing a the price point. I anticipate that the metal-effect coating will wear over time. The mirror-effect door is great: looks smart and attractive and it doesn’t show fingerprint smudges at all — I had feared that this might be a nightmare for smudging, but it stays pristine-looking in use.
The honeycomb element to go with the product name is the panel surrounding the control dials — this has a textured surface with an elongated honeycomb pattern on it. I don’t really like this: it doesn’t add much to the design of the microwave as it doesn’t show up all that well and is harder to clean than a simple flat surface would have been.
I was quite pleased to note on getting this out of the box that Russell Hobbs have given up the use of polystyrene holders to keep their goods safe in transit, this was instead held in place with moulded cardboard. There was still a fair amount of single use plastic — the microwave was in a plastic bag, and a layer of plastic was inserted over the door — but cumbersome, large, bin-hogging, non-recyclable polystyrene packaging components had been eliminated.
