Good points

Good Points

  • Digital display with touch controls and written labelling and symbols. Easy to use.
  • Separate start and pause control. On/off is obvious.
  • Included accessories – 2 wire shelves which accommodate small items and a large non-stick baking tray which slides into shelf supports. Individual non-stick roasting racks and mesh trays sit inside the drawers.
  • Digital display with touch controls.
  • Prompts with audible feedback to 'shake or turn' during cooking.
  • Pre-programmed settings with adjustable time and temperature plus variable temperature selection. Can adjust time and temperature when cooking in progress.
  • 2 shelf positions.
  • Large capacity accommodates a whole chicken 1.2kg when using the full oven.
  • Separate storage drawer for accessories at the front of the unit below the doors. All accessories can be stored inside unit or in the storage drawer.
  • When using the drawers they can be used separately or matched (same temperature and time) or synced so the food can be ready at the same time.
  • Large viewing window with internal light can only be viewed if using shelves not the basket/drawers.
  • Fairly comprehensive instructions. User can scan QR code on instructions for more detailed descriptions on pre-set programs and cooking guides.
  • Unit has two doors, when using the full oven both doors need to be opened. When using as a twin drawer a divider needs to be positioned, the doors can be opened separately.
  • Non-stick metal roasting racks are easy to clean and fit easily in a domestic sink.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only OK for air fryer performance.
  • Need to refer to the manual when using as a twin drawer air fryer. Divider needs to be in place to activate the sync and match function (light up).
  • Large unit with a uniform shape difficult to store, takes up bench space. No handles to assist in lifting. Best left out on a bench top.
  • Touch control display panel needs to be free from grease as it may not respond.
  • Some cracks and crevices around the control panel.
  • Difficult to clean and access around exposed elements. Over time may cause residue to burn on and cause the unit to expel unpleasant odours and smoke during use.
  • Glass doors are OK to clean, some cracks and crevices inside the door trap residue.
  • Metal interior can be difficult to clean, baked on residue may stain, difficult to remove.
  • Stainless steel mesh trays can be difficult to clean.
