What is the CHOICE Expert Rating?
Good points

Good Points

  • One set of telescopic runners.
  • Slide out storage compartment for trays and accessories.
  • Very good layout of burners.
  • Burner surround is moulded and easy to clean. All burners have a raised edge so liquid spills are less likely to run into workings.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only OK for oven and cooktop ease of use.
  • Only OK coverage of catalytic liners.
  • Reflective glass door shows fingerprints and smudges.
  • No rapid heat, half grill and warm mode.
  • No means of preventing grill/baking tray from being pulled right out if not using the telescopic runner.
  • Grill/baking tray tilts slightly.
  • Oven door needs to be opened when grilling.
  • No separate grill rack, oven shelf and baking tray are used as a grill rack.
  • Controls have limited grip with no cross bar.
  • Cast iron trivets are fairly heavy and have a slightly rough surface, which makes cleaning an effort.
  • No clock or automatic cooking program.
  • Manual timer isn't particularly accurate.
  • Spill catchment area has no separation from burner to burner.
  • There is restricted access to some burners when in use due to proximity to other burners.
  • Labelling is bonded and may scratch off or fade after prolonged cleaning.
  • Unable to view controls in an upright position, need to bend or lower.
  • Controls can be easily accessed by children – the controls are positioned at the front, below the cooktop.
