Good points

Good Points

  • Excellent for low temperature cooking.
  • Labelling is etched so it won't fade or rub off.
  • Wok trivet is provided.
  • Very good burner layout.
  • Spill catchment area is deep enough to contain spills and is divided into three sections.
  • Controls are on the side, making them less accessible to children.
  • Good pan support on all burners.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only OK for turn-down performance.
  • Controls are small and hard edged can be uncomfortable to use, and there's no temperature grading.
  • Labelling is not colour contrasted, no grading line and can be confusing as to which burner.
  • There is restricted access to some burners when in use due to proximity to other burners.
  • Stainless steel needs extra effort to clean.
  • Cast iron trivets are heavy and bulky.
  • Burner surround is aluminium, can stain easily making it harder to clean.
