What is the CHOICE Expert Rating?
Good points

Good Points

  • Very good overall.
  • Excellent for low and high temperature cooking.
  • Good for turn down performance.
  • Good for ease of use.
  • Wok trivet is provided.
  • Layout positioning is very good, wok and simmer are positioned at the front.
  • Pan support is good on all burners, except small burner.
  • Controls are positioned at the side of the appliance making them less accessible to children.
  • Trivets have a fairly smooth surface, making it easy to wipe over.
  • White enamel surface very easy to clean and wipe over.
  • Labelling is obvious as to which burner is for each control.
  • Grading on controls with written labelling.
  • Spill catchment area deep enough to contain spills but no separation from burner to burner.
  • 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.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Need to use a trivet for small burner, only OK stability for a small pan or coffee pot.
  • Only 3 out of 4 pots fit comfortably, there is restricted access to some burners.
  • Cast iron trivets are fairly bulky and are heavy.
  • Labelling is printed and may scratch off or fade after prolonged cleaning.
