Bad points

Bad Points

  • Poor performance for cooking pizza.
  • May need to look at instruction manual when using accessories such as the rotisserie and cooking basket.
  • Large unit difficult to store.
  • Internal light has poor visibility when using more than one shelf. Light is positioned on the side, top right. Viewing window is also tinted therefore restricts view.
  • Oven door drops down and can hit the bench. Door does not hold a set position – only open or closed.
  • Interior is stainless steel and requires extra attention.
  • Mesh guard sits over element therefore unable to clean roof of interior.
  • Wire shelves may require soaking as some food particles can get stuck.
  • Limited information on shelf positioning when cooking on wire shelves.
  • When cooking on multiple shelves at the same time, bottom shelf may require additional cooking time for browning.
  • Care needs to be taken when inserting and removing rotisserie spit and mesh cooking basket.
  • Non-stick drip tray can scratch easily.
  • Fan will stop once set temperature reached, user need to put food in oven and press start to commence cooking.
