Good quality product, straight forward easy to use.
(Keef) Keith R MillardGood combi oven. Only thing that bothered me is there is no circulation while using the oven so it more acts like grill, so for example you would have to turn over your pizza if you want both sides cooked. (so i just avoided pizzas)
ThymenIt arrived broken was so disappointed . They are refunding me but am still without a microwave
Mrs. Helen GrantEasy to use and looks good, perfect for the 2 of us, although I haven't used the grill function yet
JillyBrilliant microwave, very easy to use, would recommend.
caroline lewisEasy to use and clean.
Kelvin LeeMicrowave is overheating on the outside and not warming food on the inside. Completely has got that wrong! I can't even return it through amazon it seems, I have to go through Russell Hobbs?!!
DebbieThe microwave seemed like a good purchase until it broke exactly 2 years after buying, which mean it's no longer under warranty and now I need to buy a new one. Honestly, thought that if I buy a microwave I can expect it to work for at least 5 years, and the fact that it stopped working after only (and exactly) 2 seems like a scam to me.
Krzysztoflove the grill in this, easy to use and the colour is great. it does weigh a lot but i don't make a habit of carrying microwaves around with me. well recommended
Chris PriceGreat little oven
Mr J JonesVery satisfied. Thank you
Eileen WaltonOverall, the product is very easy to use. The quality of build is very high and the price is not too extortionate. Not 5 stars as it is too soon to tell. I bought this product around a month ago, and so far it has served me well.

Sea salt

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.
When using the grill function, please allow 5 minutes to pre-heat the grill to the correct temperature before using.
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 RHM2031 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.
Grill Function
The grill function on your microwave is ideal for those who enjoy crisp brown food. For example, you can use this microwave to melt cheese on nachos, browning the top of your lasagne and toasting garlic bread.
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.
