Good points

Good Points

  • Very good overall.
  • Excellent for low temperature and high temperature.
  • Good for turn down performance.
  • Layout positioning very good, wok burner centre, medium burner rear left corner, with simmer burner front left.
  • Pan support is good on all burners, except small burner.
  • Burner surround is moulded and easy to clean. All burners have a raised edge so liquid spills are less likely to run into workings.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only OK for ease of use.
  • Need to use a trivet for small burner, only OK stability for a small pan or coffee pot.
  • No wok trivet supplied.
  • Only 4 out of 5 pots fit comfortably, there is restricted access to some burners.
  • Cast iron trivets are fairly heavy and bulky.
  • Trivets have a slightly rough cast iron surface makes it a little difficult to clean.
  • Controls are positioned at the front of the cook top making them accessible to children.
  • Labelling is faint.
  • No grading on controls.
  • Labelling is printed and may scratch off or fade after prolonged cleaning.
  • Stainless steel surface requires extra attention when cleaning.
  • Shallow spill catchment. No separation from burner to burner.
