About this deal

If looks matter but you only need a straightforward microwave then maybe. This is a competent, fairly small microwave with no fancy features apart from its flatbed design. What stands out is its modern design, which makes it look like more like a premium appliance. We found the controls weren’t very responsive: you have to give them a good, firm push and sometimes find yourself pressing them repeatedly, unsure whether it’s being registered. The Russell Hobbs’ door design is clever. When it’s open you have an easy-to-read list of its eight programs. When closed, this is covered up and you can just see a small number of discreet touch-sensitive buttons: to select cooking mode, power and time.

At that stage the Sage’s “a bit more” button was perfect. This zapped it for another 36 seconds. We did this a couple of times and the potato was cooked to perfection. It’s a clever way to ensure you don’t overcook food as it’s tempting when something’s not quite cooked to repeat the same program – which is usually overkill. One of the technologies it relies on for even cooking is a “diamond cavity” structure. This basically means that the walls aren’t simple flat surfaces but textured, so microwaves are reflected in a more varied way – the theory is that it cooks food not just more evenly but faster as a result, saving time and money. We also tested the defrost feature on a pitta bread and found it worked well: it came out warm but not cooked, and only a bit soggy on the underside. Pre–programmed auto cook menus, such as pizza (reheat), fish and popcorn, make life so much easier as well – simply press a single button and it’ll get straight to work. There’s also an automatic defrost setting to save you time and effort; all you have to do is input the weight of the food and the microwave will select the ideal defrost time. If you like to be more in control then you’re still on to a winner with this digital microwave – you can tailor your cooking by choosing one of five different power levels.

From the professional-looking, stainless steel styling to the booklet by Heston Blumenthal, Sage is keen to impress you with its foodie credentials. The booklet is genuinely interesting and edifying, with a couple of recipes from Heston plus his “here comes the science bit, concentrate” bit about how microwaves work and how to cook with chocolate. Pre-programmed auto cook menus– These include pizza (reheat), fish, and popcorn, and let you cook all your favourite foods at the push of a button. Automatic defrost settings– Simply input the weight of the food and the microwave selects the ideal defrost time.

Other nice touches include the heart button for saving your favourite program and the “A bit more” button – one of the features you’ll find yourself using most. Anything of a nature that for hygiene or associated health and safety - this includes the Outdoor Spas, Mattresses and Divan Sets Let’s start with the RHFM2363B’s most important feature: flatbed technology. A regular microwave uses a turntable to make sure the food is cooked evenly, but a flatbed model gets rid of this altogether. The result is that you can use the entire interior for heating – not just the circular area taken up by the turntable.

Flatbed technology, again borrowed from pricier models, means they have done away with the turntable, instead relying on other technologies to ensure even cooking. This means it’s possible to fit much larger dishes in the microwave, for example to reheat meals in rectangular oven dishes that would have been impossible on a turntable.
