There aren’t too many microwaves that make us say “wow” when we first see them. But the Russell Hobbs RHM2079A is certainly one of them. With its stylish, interesting white design, the microwave is sure to stand out from your other appliances. But what about its features? And do buyers think it provides value for money? Keep reading to find out.
Russell Hobbs RHM2079A Aura Features
As we mentioned, the first thing you notice about the Russell Hobbs RHM2079A is that it’s a classy, stylish looking microwave. It has a white design with sleek front panel, along with a simple dial and button system for setting time and power.
In Russell Hobbs own words, the microwave is designed for “practicality,” which in practice means that it’s an 800W model with a 20L capacity. This is probably the most common combination of size and power, so in this sense the Aura is a fairly standard microwave. 800W means that food cooks relatively quickly in the Aura, and the 20L capacity makes it suitable for reheating or cooking most meals.
Other features include an automatic cook menu, which comes with pre-programmed settings for different types of food, and an automatic defrost function. This latter feature, in particular, will save you a lot of effort and time when defrosting food.
(Note: if you own other appliances in the Russell Hobbs Aura range, the RHM2079A is built to match the design of these “sister” products)
Overview of Russell Hobbs RHM2079A features:
- Sleek and stylish white microwave that’s one of the best looking solo models on the market (in our opinion).
- 800W power for relatively fast cooking, defrosting and reheating.
- 20L interior capacity.
- Automatic cook menus.
- Automatic defrost function.
- Simple dial and button operation panel.
