Unfortunately, the Whirlpool Max 35 range isn’t widely available anymore. The Russell Hobbs RHM2362S is a good alternative if you want a 23 litre model, although it doesn’t have the rounded design. Click here for the price of the RHM2362S.
The Whirlpool Max 35 red solo and steam microwave is one of our favourite models. The curved back design, red colour scheme and range of features make this one of the most interesting microwaves on the market. Keep reading this Whirlpool Max 35 red microwave review for more information about the product.
Whirlpool Max 35 Red Features
The Whirlpool Max 35 Red microwave has the same features as the cream version that we recently reviewed, so let’s start with the appearance. Unlike most microwaves, which are nearly always rectangular, the Whirlpool Max series of microwaves has a rounded back. This is perfect for saving space, as it means the microwave can fit into corners.
As the turntable is round, you don’t lose much effective interior size either. In fact, Whirlpool claims that the 28cm turntable is the same as much larger models.
The unique design of the Whirlpool Max 35 Red microwave isn’t the only interesting feature though. It comes with “Jet Start,” a function that lets you start the microwave with one touch without having to set time, level and power separately. The “3D Distribution” system means that the microwave heats evenly throughout the interior cavity, and also cooks food faster than traditional microwaves.
Other features include an automatic steam accessory, automatic control system for easy steaming, and a Jet Defrost function. The Whirlpool Max 35 Red microwave really is one of the most feature packed models on the market, and for the price it also provides excellent value for money.
Overview of features:
- Unique curved design meaning the microwave can easily fit into corners without reducing the size of the turntable.
- Attractive red design.
- 2D distribution system for even and fast cooking.
- Automatic steam function.
- 700W microwave
- Bottle holder – keeps baby bottles secure when reheating.
- Jet defrost for fast and even defrosting
