Bad Points

  • Only OK for oven and cooktop ease of use.
  • Reflective glass door shows finger marks and smudges.
  • Controls are small and hard edged can be uncomfortable with no grading.
  • No shield in front of grill element.
  • Cast iron trivets are fairly heavy and have a slightly rough surface which makes cleaning an effort.
  • No rapid heat, no fan assist, no pizza or warm mode.
  • Burner surround is aluminium, can stain easily making it harder to clean.
  • 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.
  • Condensation or spills can run between the door glass.
  • Controls can be easily accessed by children – the controls are positioned at the front, below the cooktop.
  • Unable to view all controls in an upright position – need to bend or lower.
