Bad points

Bad Points

  • Large basket is slightly heavy with a load.
  • On/Off control is red, but not very obvious.
  • Controls have small labelling. Pre programmed settings are symbols so may need to refer to the instruction manual initially.
  • Controls are not be easy to comprehend , may need to refer to the instruction manual initially for sequence instructions.
  • Top half of unit is clear plastic, may require extra attention when cleaning.
  • Touch control display panel needs to be free from grease as it may not respond.
  • The interior has a stainless steel surface, only OK to wipe over and access.
  • Around the element is the clear plastic to view the food cooking this needs to be kept cleaned for easy viewing.
  • Can be difficult to clean around exposed element. No access to the fan, overtime residue can build up around the fan, may cause residue to burn on and cause the unit to expel unpleasant odours and smoke during use.
  • Basic instructions, some cooking guides. User manual was not provided – need to download and print from website.
