Bad Points
- No audible feedback response when selecting functions.
- No prompts to 'shake or turn' during cooking.
- Instructions are difficult to comprehend due to key diagrams and other languages.
- No viewing window.
- Relatively large unit with a uniform shape only OK to store, takes up bench space. May not fit easily into a kitchen cupboard. Best left out on a bench top. No handles to assist in lifting.
- No written labelling, symbols only. Need to refer to the manual initially. Most settings are small.
- Orange display can be difficult to view for some.
- Drawer is reasonably heavy with a load.
- Can be difficult to clean around exposed element.
- The drawer has a large handle with no non-slip grip, the handle is slightly long so the basket does not sit flat on a surface/bench.
- Large drawer and basket can be difficult to clean in a domestic sink.
- Stainless steel interior and roof around element can be difficult to clean.
- Touch control display panel can needs to be free from grease as it may not respond, easy to wipe over.
- Visible signs of wear of the non-stick coating on the raised surfaces of the cooking basket.
