Bad points

Bad Points

  • Hood can become dangerously hot.
  • Burners are positioned close to chargrill plates which can cause flare ups and be difficult to control.
  • Side tables can become hot.
  • Hood is stable but heavy.
  • Barbecue has side panels, however if there are strong winds the flame can be disturbed.
  • Controls have written labelling but no grading, difficult to view.
  • Side burner control knob is positioned between the 2 right side burner controls and can be confusing.
  • Restricted viewing of labelling on controls, need to bend down to view.
  • Difficult to remove chargrill plate, need a tool to assist with lifting heavy plates.
  • Large plates are difficult to clean in a domestic sink.
  • Lots of cracks and crevices to trap grease.
  • Glass viewing window becomes greasy with grime and difficult to view. Requires effort to clean.
  • Relatively expensive running costs.
