Bad points

Bad Points

  • Sliding out the drawer requires some effort/strength, can stick.
  • No grip area to assist in lifting.
  • Controls are not easy to comprehend, need to refer to the instruction manual initially.
  • No manual setting for temperature and time, need to select a pre-programmed setting then adjust temperature and time
  • Controls have no written labelling, pre programmed settings are symbols so may need to refer to the instruction manual initially. Relatively small symbols.
  • Control panel is positioned at the front of the unit, may need to bend to view the controls.
  • Fairly basic instructions.
  • Touch control display panel needs to be free from grease as it may not respond.
  • Some cracks and crevices around the control dial can trap dirt.
  • 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.
