We have just reported this product as it set on fire whilst switched off and the door closed. The fire was stopped by unplugging the microwave.I wouldn't purchase a microwave like this again. It could of burnt our house down.Prior to it setting on fire, we found it quite tacky. My husband referred to it as a toy microwave as it made an awful 'ping' sound when it had finished. The time dial also didn't work accurately.
sianNice colour. Stops before the time has finished
Megan. We returned two, the first one because it would appear that the inside light did not work. However, on receiving the second appliance, it was evident that the interior light did not give sufficient light to see inside. A very poor feature, when you cannot see what is happening inside the appliance. We have since purchased another model, which has an excellent bright light.
RobertOnly had this since late November and it’s basically blown up, always had issues with this item, it would make a strange noise every time I used it and it’s nearly burnt my house down.
KJThe machine works fine. It is kind of hard to set to 30 seconds if this is what you want to do. The problem is it comes with a white sticker with red writing which is very ugly above the timer dial. This sitcker is not in the image as it was advertised. I could not remove it without scratching the entire thing. Very disappointed. I buy something new and shiney and within 15 minutes it looks like crap

Amazon Customerafter 6 months of limited use this went rusty inside despite being cleaned following every use.... not impressed at all. Contacted Russell Hobbs and didn't get any feedback
SCryerWorst microwave I have ever had. Bottom is rusted because microwave does not vent properly. Do not buy this model.
LibbyPurchased this item in Feb last year so havent had it a year as yet and the bottom has started to rust about a couple of months ago and has gradually got worse, also does not heat food as quick as it did when first purchased.Would not recommend buying this microwave at all.

Serving with toasted English muffins, steamed spinach and Hollandaise sauce
Ingredients:
1 medium baking potato
1 tbsp olive oil
Sea salt
Method:
1. Thoroughly wash and dry the potato.
2. Using a fork pierce the potato skin in 4 or 5 places.
3. Rub the oil and sea salt into the potato. This helps to crisp up the skin for an oven-style jacket potato.
4. Place on a microwavable plate and cook on full power for 4 minutes.
5. Turn the potato and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, checking the progress at 1 minute intervals.*
6. Serve with your favourite filling.

300g baby potatoes
250g asparagus
1 tsp butter
2 slices lemon
1 tbsp. chopped dill
Salt and pepper
Method:
1. Place the potatoes in a microwavable container with the butter. Season and cover with cling film. Cook on full power for 4-5 minutes or until cooked. Keep covered.
2. Meanwhile, place the salmon in a microwavable container with the lemon and dill. Season and cover with cling film. As soon as the potatoes are cooked, cook the salmon on full power for 3 minutes. If necessary, extend the cooking time by up to 2 minutes, checking at regular intervals until the salmon is cooked through.
3. Finally, wash and trim the asparagus, cover and cook for 2-3 minutes, then serve with the salmon and potatoes.
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.
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 RHMM701 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.
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
