Russell Hobbs RHM2561BCG Review
Our Russell Hobbs RHM2561BCG Combi Microwave Review
This 25 litre combi microwave from Russell Hobbs offers 900w microwave output, as well as 1100w grill output and a huge overall 2500w oven output.
The controls are pretty simple to operate - and the display is clear - the overall styling is pretty modern, so if you have a traditional style kitchen, then this microwave oven may not be for you.
The RHM2561BCG stainless steel interior looks great and is very easy to clean - build quality is good - it feels solid and like it will handle regular use.
It both heated and cooked food well during our testing period - we had no issues whatsoever with the overall performance - food was heated and cooked evenly. The grill worked as you'd expect, and left food browned, and the oven was a handy addition, which will probably result in you using your regular convection oven less frequently, thus saving you money in energy bills.
In fact, the only slight criticisms we have of this microwave are:
1. The fact that the controls look slightly out of place when compared to the rest of the microwave's design - they stand out slightly. This wouldn't put us off buying this kitchen appliance though - it offers outstanding value.
and
2. The mirrored finish to the door will show fingerprints - and so will need regular cleaning in order to stay looking pristine.
Asides from that, it really offers great value. For your information, the external dimensions of this silver microwave are 30.5cm by 51.3cm by 42.5cm.
Our Verdict for the Russell Hobbs RHM2561BCG
Overall Russell Hobbs have put together a very good value microwave - it works well, looks good and is very reasonably priced for a combi microwave.

Next up in our combination microwave review section is a massive microwave for those with larger families and room for a substantially sized appliance in their kitchen. The Panasonic NN-CF853W is a huge 32 litre combi microwave, featuring a comprehensive 1000w power output, flatbed technology and a massive 41cm by 25cm by 32cm interior, with stunning modern looks and an intuitive button system.
The modest sized R662KM 20 litre grill microwave from Sharp offers a 1000w grill, and weighs just 11.4kg.
The 20 litre Russell Hobbs RHM2017 is finished in a silky silver and mirrored door exterior, complete with a 800w power output and 5 different power levels.
A powerful mid sized 900w microwave, featuring a 25 litre capacity, 8 auto cook functions and a silver finish, the Sharp R372SLM is well worth considering for a mid sized household needing a solo microwave.
Please can you let me know what the main oven temperature is ? Many thanks

Hi Helen – The Russell Hobbs RHM2561BCG oven can be set anywhere from 100 to 240 degrees – hope this helps!
