Bad points

Bad Points

  • Unit is tall with a uniform upright rectangular shape, would not fit comfortably into a cupboard, best left on the bench or butlers pantry. Difficult to lift and move. No handles to assist in lifting.
  • No pre-programmed settings.
  • No audible feedback response to control selection.
  • No prompt to shake or turn the food.
  • The interior has a metal surface and around the element is only OK to clean. It can stain and baked on residue may be difficult to clean.
  • Can be difficult to clean around exposed elements. No access to the fans, 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.
  • Claims that it can accommodate approximately two 2.3kg chickens or 2.3kg of wings in each drawer, however this may not be accurate.
