Russell Hobbs RHM3003B 30 Litre Black Digital Combination

The microwave itself cooks at 900W. This makes it one of the more powerful models on the market- resulting in faster cooking times. The convection oven is fan assisted, which makes it a viable alternative to a regular oven, and the grill is excellent for browning foods. Russell Hobbs claims that the RHM3003B excels at cooking foods such as baked potatoes, lasagnes and pizzas. The 31.5cm turntable is big enough to accommodate a large dinner plate. Plus, the turntable is removable and the stainless steel interior makes it easy to clean. What it Does Best Yes, but only when you are using the grill or convection functions. Never use any metal or non-microwave safe utensils in microwave mode or combined microwave and grill/oven mode. The only slight downside is that it does tend to lose a bit of power after continuous use so if you’re cooking multiple dishes one after the other, you may need to allow a little more cooking time.Overall this combination microwave performs to a high standard and should offer you years of uninterrupted service, based upon both our successful testing period, as well as our overall experiences with Russell Hobbs' microwave ovens. It's ideally suited for larger households, given the generous 30 litre capacity, and the versatility of this appliance is a huge selling point, especially considering the low overall price tag.
