Bad Points

  • Need to touch or slide finger along numerical power selector. May be a little difficult for larger fingers to select exact setting.
  • Pan slides easily on glass surface when stirring, need to keep pan within the cooking zone.

  • Flexi zone may not have even heat distribution.
  • Controls must be kept free of grease and moisture otherwise they will not respond to touch.
  • Accommodates only 3 cooking zones at the same time.
