  • Labelling is fairly obvious as to which burner is for each control.
  • Written labelling and line from high to low on each control.
  • Spill catchment area deep enough to contain spills with burners separate down the centre.
  • Controls are sealed very well.
  • Burner surround is moulded and fairly easy to clean

Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only three pots fit comfortably at a time.
  • Only OK stability for a small pan or coffee pot, need to use small trivet. Stable on all other burners.
  • Controls are positioned at the front of the cook top making them accessible to children.
  • Cast iron trivets are heavy and bulky.
  • Stainless steel surface requires extra attention when cleaning.
  • Cast iron trivets have a slightly rough cast iron surface, making it harder to wipe over.
  • Labelling is printed and may scratch off or fade after prolonged cleaning.
