Russell Hobbs Digital Combination Microwave Stainless Steel 25 Litre 900 W with 8 Auto Cook Menus, 5 Power Levels with Clock & Timer Fan Assisted Oven & Defrost Function Mirror Door Finish RHM2574

This is a great microwave. Easy to use, easy to clean and excellent value for money. The quality is excellent. It looks really good too. Stainless steel inside and outside. This was exactly what we were looking for. Very large capacity inside. Can't rate this high enough. It does stick out further at the back than some other microwaves but we had anticipated that because of the reviews we had read and made allowances for it.

This is a great microwave.

Firstly this combination microwave looks quite smart with it's stainless steel finish and minimal button set. The effect is slightly spoiled by the red LED display which is a bit bright and cannot be turned off. The oven is quite deep as the back of it gets hot when using the oven funtion so you have to think about where you want to site it.The controls aren't intuitive and you do need to read the instruction manual to understand how to work all the functions. The large rotary knob is used to set time, power levels and temperature but using it set a lengthy time requries a few rotations. However the Start button does have a quick cook function for the microwave; you only need to press it once to get 30 seconds of full power, further presses keep adding another 30 seconds of cooking. This is convenient as the microwave is the function we use the most.The 900W microwave works very well although the cavity steams up quite readily as there seems to be no exhaust fan. Thankfully the stainless steel interior is mostly easy to clean apart from the roof which is a bit awkward as the grill's protruding heating element is attached there. It does have some auto cook and 2 stage functions as well.The convection oven is quick to heat up but takes some getting used to in terms of cooking times and temperatures. You can set the temperature between 150C and 240C and set time up to 95 minutes. You do need to use the included trivet to raise the food high to allow the heat to wrap around it. It's fine for baking cakes, part baked bread and baking convenience foods such as pizza or ready meals but we haven't used it to roast anything from scratch as it doesn't brown food as well as a conventional oven. However in these permacrisis times it's good to have a small oven at hand for those times we don't need to use our main oven.We have rarely used the grill function but, again, you do need to have the food raised using the trivet to get it close to the element for efficient cooking.Finally you can combine microwave cooking with either the convection oven or grill functions to get the best of both worlds although you can't use the trivet with the microwave.We purchased this oven for about £100 as a warehouse deal and for that price it is just about worth it in our opinion.

Good buy. Had one before easy clean. S.SteelOne of top microwaves out there,easy to use..Solid build..

This is a beauty of a microwave!!! Absolutely happy with purchase. Nice roomy 25L ,so will take bigger plates. The stainless steel has a lovely, shiny brushed gleam. And it's actually SS not plastic that looks like SS. Interior is ss aswell. My only lil gripe is the led light is red. I would've liked it green or blue & the fact it's a 2 or 3step process 2 start microwaving. But it gives a good food heat up. Buy it 4 the looks if nothing else! Honestly, I can't stop staring at it lol

It's big and tough and does everything asked of it without any fuss. What a change from the flimsy predecessor that I had to return as the paint was bubbling.This is a surprise as it's reasonably priced anyhow, but very well made.

I bought this because I thought it would be easier for my teenage son to use than my big oven. I also hoped the oven would be faster than my big oven.I have not been disappointed. The oven is alot faster than my big oven probably because it heats up quickly. It is easy to use and my teenage son is happy using it as a microwave or oven.It is large, easy to clean and looks nice in my kitchen.We have not used the combination cooking options yet and have only used the grill once. But I am using it most days as a microwave or oven. I am delighted with it. I bought the used like new one and it came in original packaging with instuction manual. Looked like it had never been opened. Just slight damage to the packaging.

Would get 5 stars except Amazon delivery was a day early and I was advised it had to be handled over in person. I waited in and it was just dumped by the door step.I think it works fine but the manual is woefully lacking in detail.Also was unsteady on feet in spite of flat surface.The feet appear fixed but I was assured by a person at Russell Hobbs that they can be screwed in and out.That worked but nothing in the manual about this!
