Russell Hobbs RHEM2301B review
Test scoreShow Context
- Solo Microwave
- Freestanding
- Flatbed
Russell Hobbs has opted for simple controls on its RHEM2301B flatbed microwave, so instead of a long list of programs, it has just one power option and a defrost setting. As there's no turntable, you get lots of space inside and fewer crevices to clean around. Find out from our detailed review whether this microwave is speedy and can cook and defrost evenly.
