Good points

Good Points

  • Excellent for low temperature cooking.
  • Good for turn down performance.
  • Very good for high temperature cooking.
  • Good for ease of use.
  • Layout positioning is very good, wok left centred and simmer is positioned at the front.
  • 4 – 5 pots fit comfortably, there is very little restricted access, well spaced.
  • Pan support is good on all burners, except small burner.
  • Wok trivet supplied.
  • Control panel slightly raised, less likely to have contact with any spills.
  • Spill catchment is very deep and separated into 3.
  • Trivets have a very smooth surface making it easier to wipe over.
  • 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.
  • Trivets can move due to loose-fitting rubber feet.
  • Controls are positioned at the front of the cook top making them accessible to children.
  • No grading line on controls, only high and low written labelling.
  • Stainless steel surface requires extra attention when cleaning, can smudge and scratch.
  • Labelling is printed and may scratch off or fade after prolonged cleaning.
