Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only OK for ease of use.
  • Only 3 pots fit comfortably at a time.
  • Controls aren't intuitive – has simmer, max, then min setting so the simmer is opposite to min and near the off position.
  • Flame can easily go out on simmer setting.
  • Simmer setting indicators do not line up with min labels.
  • Controls are at the front, allowing easy access to children.
  • No catchment area – spills can run under the control panel, onto bench and around burners.
  • Cast iron trivets are heavy and bulky.
  • The burner surrounds are not removable except for the wok burner, difficult to clean.
  • Labelling is bonded and can scratch off or fade after prolonged cleaning.
  • The stainless steel requires extra effort to clean.
