Bad points

Bad Points

  • Controls may not be intuitive, need to refer to the instruction manual initially.
  • No written labelling, symbols only. Need to refer to the manual initially. Settings are small.
  • Large unit can be difficult to store, does not fit easily into a kitchen cupboard. Best left out on a bench top, takes up bench space. No handles on unit to assist in lifting.
  • Large drawer may be awkward to clean in a domestic sink.
  • Touch control display panel needs to be free from grease as it may not respond.
  • 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.
  • Drawer is reasonably heavy with load.
  • The stainless steel door panel is not fingerprint resistant and may require extra cleaning attention.
  • Internal light needs to be turned on manually using bulb symbol on control panel. Stays on for appoximately 1 minute and does not remain on during cooking.
  • No cooking guide on unit.
  • Condensation can build up inside the drawer between the glass. Residue can become trapped between the glass and be difficult to remove.
