Best feature is the hinged lid, although it adds to the height when opened. Andrew james seem to be the only ones that sell them, and they often don't have it for ages. Still has the handy presets for time and temperature. Comes with a spare bulb.

Have requested a refund as unfit for use. Her controls on the lid have broken, she is not able to switch it off only at the plug. Of our members have had to request returns/refunds because the machine stops working.

The reliability of these products is really bad as well as poor energy efficiency. It's almost impossible to safely get the meat juices out of the bottom to make gravy. Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish.

Fan starts of getting noisy, get worse then becomes loose, runs slow and then jams. As with all these type of units cleaning the lid is difficult and must be done with a soft cloth else prone to scratching.

Two major issues present while opening the box as the package was delivered. The tongs are flimsy.
