Good points

Good Points

  • Very good for element size and cooking zone selection – no specific cooking zones defined, claims pots/pans can be placed in any position.
  • 6 separate controls for each cooking zone.
  • Accommodates up to 6 pots/pans at the same time.
  • Obvious as to which control for each cooking zone, once pot/pan has been placed on the cooktop.
  • The control elements move according to where the pans are on the cooktop. If you move the pan, the numerical display will follow.
  • Glass surface has a non-slip film so it is less likely for pans to slide or move easily when stirring. Pans must be lifted to move.
  • No edge. Touch controls easy to wipe over and clean.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Cooking zone dimensions are not obvious, there are 3 main areas within the useable cooking zone area, each area is made up of 4 cooking elements (like a flexi zone certain placement of the pan may result in slightly uneven cooking.
  • Pans with a base diameter between 100 and 145 mm will not be detected in every position on the cooktop.
  • Controls must be kept free of grease and moisture otherwise they will not respond to touch.
  • Flexi zone may not have even heat distribution.
  • No specific 'on' indicator light.
  • Control settings are slightly crowded may be difficult for larger fingers due to spacing.
