Bad Points

  • Basic instructions, no cooking guides or recipes.
  • Large drawer is slightly heavy with a load.
  • No handles to assist in lifting unit.
  • Touch control display panel needs to be free from grease as it may not respond.

  • Only able to view inside, when the internal light is switched on.
  • Cooling fan continues to run after cooking time ends (approx. 10 seconds).
  • The drawer is fairly heavy, OK to handle when cleaning.
