What is the Kagoo Score?

We calculate the Kagoo Score for each microwave by looking at its reviews, features, popularity, age, value for money and running costs.

The Kagoo Score is an easy way to understand whether the microwave is recommended.

The Kagoo Scores are constantly being updated. As newer, higher spec microwaves come to market, the older microwaves will gradually have their Kagoo Score reduced.

    When Are Most New Russell Hobbs Microwaves Released?

In February 2017, five new Russell Hobbs microwaves were released making it the biggest month that year for new Russell Hobbs microwave releases. Two new Russell Hobbs microwaves were released in February 2016 making it the biggest month that year as well for new Russell Hobbs microwave releases.

    .

    Most microwaves drop in price by 2% in the first 6 months after release. On average Russell Hobbs microwaves drop in price by 8% in the first 6 months after release.
