Bad points

Bad Points

  • Unit is large and quite wide, would take up space on bench and in cupboard.
  • No viewing window.
  • Unable to use max crisp function when cooking with both baskets at the same time (match mode).
  • Max crisp function is recommended for frozen foods such as nuggets and chips, however as you are unable to adjust the temperature setting, you'll need to check food throughout as cooking time may need to be reduced.
  • Unable to adjust the temperature setting when using max crisp function.
  • When cooking frozen chips in both baskets, using same cooking function we found slightly uneven cooking with one basket browning more than the other.
  • If air fry basket is removed for longer than 2 minutes than the unit will automatically switch off that zone and the user will need to re-program to resume cooking.
  • Can be difficult to clean around exposed elements inside unit.
  • Unable to add additional cooking time once cooking mode has been set. Need to re-select cooking time and function.
