I like this microwave as a whole, although if I am honest I do miss the digital timer for things you want to warm up under a minute as you kind of have to guess with the dial for timers under 1 minute. Nice modern finish and compact size makes this a good edition to any kitchen.
Mr K D HILLNice easy to use. The only down side is there is no release catch for the door it's a matter of pulling the door. My old microwave had a little button which released the door but all in all J like this microwave
Heather MurphyNo digital push buttons so easy to use. Ours arrived with a sticker in a prominent place advising if we wanted to use for less than 2 minutes, turn the dial above 2 minutes and reverse. Unfortunately this sticker was extremely difficult to remove and when doing so turned this prominent area dull whilst the rest was an excellent shiny black.
Mr. K. SmithGood kettle, fast boiler, looks good and a good pourer
FredWanted matching set and this is great as toaster the same design. Like the blue colour that lights when making tea.
AnitaMy kettle looks perfect and boils fast
ObaapaLove this kettle so much, it boils really fast and is comfortable to use! My only issue is it is fairly loud but as it boils so fast it doesn’t matter. It looks lovely and goes really well with the toaster!
GBRI can always rely on Russell Hobbs for a quality product. It is a perfect design and looks clean and stylish. It boils quickly too.
RosieMakes a lot of noise when boiling
MaveybIt's a nice stainless steel kettle. It looks nice and boils fast.
lsWe purchased another Russell Hobbs kettle to replace an excellent old model. It had seen us through the constant bottle making with our two children but just gave up on us. We research the market and decided on this one. Whilst the kettle is nice looking and feels a quality thing it is sadly let down by how noisy it is. I was shock to be honest, you can't have a conversation in our kitchen when its on...
HeidiStreamlined look, controls are well situated and straightforward to use, and spout is a good pourer - fits the brief perfectly!
JeanI ordered online, received an instant response and collected the kettle from Argos at Sainsbury's Deepdale Preston all within 30 minutes. Who could ask for anything better!!
stuartLooks lovely. Quick to boil . The one cup measure is very accurate compared to previous kettle.
KimmiiTo call the Russell Hobbs 25513 Worcester a ‘kettle’ is to slander the name of a supreme water boiling machine. It’s more than a kettle; it’s a philosophy, a way of life. Its 1.7l capacity humiliates its competitors like Spartacus at the Coliseum, and with a simple flick of a switch can turn your hot water-based dreams into reality within minutes.
TobyFor the price (50% off) when I got it, it is quite reasonable and has some good features Rapid boil for 2/3 cups Run dry protection (all though I be never tried it) It is a bit on the noisier side when boiling water but all in all a good kettle
SyedBought with matching toaster. Pleased with the design - slightly noisier than previous kettle but not a problem.
HopeGreat kettle, smaller than my old one but holds same quantity of water. Love the colour, matches my other appliances. Great kettle and brilliant price too.
BobsBought to match the 2 slice toaster also from Russell Hobbs. It looks great and I love the blue light when in use. Great value and recommended
DownleyWorks perfectly and no issues.

Why not try…
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.
*Cooking times will vary depending on the size of the potato
Ingredients:
2 salmon fillets
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
