Bad points

Bad Points

  • No viewing window.
  • Poor result for multiple shelf cooking.
  • Some written labelling but mainly symbols, need to refer to the manual.
  • Controls may not be intuitive, need to refer to the instruction manual initially.
  • Relatively large, rectangular, symmetrical unit, may not be suitable to store. Only OK to lift and move, no handles to assist in lifting.
  • Touch control display panel needs to be free from grease as it may not respond.
  • Can be difficult to clean around exposed element inside unit. Over time may cause residue to burn on and cause the unit to expel unpleasant odours and smoke during use.
  • Unit has a stainless steel front with black plastic exterior some crevices to trap residue. Stainless steel shows smudges.
  • Large drawer is reasonably heavy with load.
  • Cooling fan continues to run after cooking time ends (approx. 20 seconds), can be annoying if you need to wait to restart.
