Fits in nicely, it is not as powerful as our old 700 watt.
BushersI will not recommend this microwave. I bought it last month and within20 days the microwave started smelling so bad( smell burnt) even when it wasn’t in use and my entire house was smelling burned due to microwave.. so a big no. Don’t take the risk not safe at all
MelisaHad to take back to store due to a fault with setting The microwaves clock and settings
colinOn arriving home and unpacking my microwave I pluged it in turned it on but did not work! I returned the item but unfortunately the store did not have a replacement in stock. I was informed that a replacement could be ordered however I needed the microwave on that day. I received a full refund.
NeilThe control panel was broken on arrival and hanging off the unit.
AlisonNice looking, compact and easy to use but after just over two years of pretty light use, it has started arcing with no apparent reason and there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it. I was happy with it to start with but overall, this sort of lifespan is pretty disappointing. I had over 10 years use from my last microwave, and would have expected more from this. Can't recommend.
Amazon CustomerI went to purchase this microwave in my local store. When they gave me the microwave the box was damaged with a hole in the side held together with sellotape. I immediately asked for a new microwave, there were none in stock so I had a refund. Obviously the store's fault nothing to do with the manufacturer !

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

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 RHM2064 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.
