What is the CHOICE Expert Rating?
Good points

Good Points

  • Excellent for low temperature cooking.
  • Very good for high temperature cooking.
  • Good for ease of use.
  • Layout positioning is very good, wok and simmer burner are positioned at the front.
  • Pan support is good on all burners, except small burner.
  • Control panel slightly raised, less likely to have contact with any spills.
  • Spill catchment is deep enough to contain any spills, but no separation from burners.
  • Burner surround is moulded and fairly easy to clean. All burners have a raised edge so liquid spills are less likely to run into workings.
  • Labelling is etched and unlikely to be removed.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only OK for turn down performance.
  • Only 3 out of 4 pots fit comfortably, there is restricted access to some burners.
  • Need to use a trivet for small burner, only OK stability for a small pan or coffee pot.
  • No wok trivet is provided.
  • Controls are positioned at the front of the cook top making them accessible to children.
  • No grading line on controls, only small and big flame symbol.
  • Stainless steel surface requires extra attention when cleaning, can smudge and scratch.
  • Trivets have a rough cast iron finish, making them harder to wipe over.
