Russell Hobbs RHEM1901B Flatbed Digital 700w Solo Microwave Black [Energy Class D]

I recently purchased the Russell Hobbs RHEM2301B microwave and I couldn't be happier with its performance.First and foremost, the simplicity of this microwave is what sets it apart. With just two power settings for defrosting and cooking, it makes meal preparation a breeze. I no longer have to fumble through a complicated array of buttons; the straightforward interface makes it incredibly easy to use. Even my elderly father-in-law can confidently operate it without any assistance.I love the absence of a turntable, not having to deal with a rotating plate not only saves time and effort but also provides ample space to accommodate larger dishes. Cleaning is very easy. Without the turntable, I can effortlessly wipe down the flatbed interior, ensuring a spotless microwave after every use.The 23L capacity of the Russell Hobbs RHEM2301B is perfect for our family's needs. Whether it's reheating leftovers, defrosting frozen foods, or cooking a quick meal, this microwave handles it all with ease. It can accommodate large dishes, making it an ideal choice for families or even when entertaining guests.The digital display is clear and user-friendly, allowing me to adjust cooking times and power levels with precision. The microwave's 800w power output ensures that my meals are evenly cooked and ready in no time.Moreover, I appreciate the sleek and modern design of the microwave and it doesn't take up too much counter space, making it a practical addition to any kitchen setup.I highly recommend this microwave to anyone in need of a reliable, user friendl, reasonably priced and easy to clean microwave.

what could be simpler, 4 Buttons, easy to understand and use, this is simple and effective, without all the complicated programs, its on or off, cooking or defrosting, so simple its great to use. its weird not seeing things go around as in a conventional microwave as there is no turntable, so no glass to clean or break! Easy clean, easy to use, this is a great microwave, a useful size for family (we are 4) we can put in rectangular dishes not just round bowls or plates, its a dream to use,, even teenagers get this! at 800W the power is good too.hope it lasts a long time 😊

I bought it at the start of lockdown 1 after my old one broke, I was excited to discover flatbed microwaves exist, this one is ‘back to basics’ with it’s 4 control functions. It would be great if you are someone whose head spins with all the multifunction machines that have been available over the years! There isn’t even a clock to set, just plug in and go!So much easier to keep clean than one with a turntable plate and wheeled support! Remember to wipe any spills immediately and the finish will stay looking new!The cavity is big and will hold large rectangular dishes if you so choose! No more rotation that doesn’t quite work 😂 with odd dish sizes!The control buttons are simplistic, the top ‘microwave’ is full power 800 watt cooking in 30 second increments with each button press up to 5 mins, then 1 minute increments and you can add time even while it’s cooking.Second button down is ‘defrost’ in the same increments and the defrost function is 40% power.The next button down from the top is Stop/Cancel which is self explanatory! Press once to stop cooking, press again to cancel the remaining time on the screen.The last button ’Start’ is pressed to start the cooking after the time has been set (microwave or defrost) then the time remaining counts down.When it finishes it emits 5 long loud beeps, if you don’t return to it immediately it gives a short beep at intervals of 2 minutes, for ten minutes after it’s finished.It doesn’t have a clock which took some getting used to after relying on my past microwave as the kitchen clock but I’m accustomed to it now.Also the display lights go out in standby mode when not in use so it’s energy saving too!

This microwave is so easy to use. 4 buttons. I've had previous microwaves with combi grills and lots of settings I never used. This microwave is perfect, defrost, microwave, start & stop. The flat bed is good as can get large plates in it. What more do you need?

Best microwave I had ever had. So easy to keep clean, just four buttons, easy to read and understand, what more could I ask for? I will definitely get a flatbed microwave again

This microwave is so simple it's brilliant. There's really nothing to it, buttons to press, instruction book written in huge letters and a flatbed inside which means the food dishes can be rectangular and not get knocked off a turntable. It does microwave, defrost and that's it. No complicated menus or fancy stuff I never used like I had on my old one. It even beeps to tell me if I have forgotten to take the food out. Whilst I'm not quite a senior... this is simplicity and perfect, plus the mirrored finish to the door means I can check how I look whilst cooking... Great choice!

Bought for my elderly Mother - nice and simple to use. I use it when I cook for her at weekends and it's absolutely superb.

A great microwave without all the bells and whistles which I find unnecessary. The flatbed is much easier to clean and can fit larger containers than my old turntable appliance. The mirror finish door gives a modern smart appearance and the control panel is clearly marked with each function for ease of use. If I have one negative comment it's that the interior is completely black for some reason, whereas my old appliance was white inside making it easy to see the contents.
