Good Points

  • Good positioning of cooking zones.
  • Obvious as to which control for each cooking zone.
  • Obvious cooking zones make it easier to keep in within the cooking zones.
  • Touch controls for better control and accuracy.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Saucepan/pan larger than 21cm in diameter may not be efficient.
  • Some guessing required as there are no number settings are not displayed on grading.
  • Fan noise is noticeable during operation.
  • Pan slides easily on glass surface when stirring foods taking it away from the cooking zone.
  • Cooking zone can turn off when removing pan for a short duration, pause or stop and go before removing so the cooking zone does not loose the setting.
  • Controls can become splattered with oil and liquids making them unresponsive to touch.
