KISS principle not implemented
The appliance is good. It fries with little oil and thus prepares tasty food.
However, if you don't use it regularly, you have to bring out the instructions every now and then. In my opinion, the instructions are incomplete (plus two printing errors).
For example, it does not say that the frying times for trays 1 and 2 have to be added manually. This is not necessarily logical, since you use both trays at the same time. Therefore, it would also be possible for such a device to use the second shorter time only as a timer, i.e. to divide it, so to speak. But you have to try it out. It is not explained or I did not find it in the instructions.
The control buttons are okey, but not 100% intuitive.
All three problems together made me frown quite a bit. On the positive side, I can point out that the appliance conjures up something delicious even if the wrong programme is selected. Nevertheless, I was annoyed a few times too much. That's why I only gave it 3 stars.
But if you only use Tray 1 or have good nerves, you should hardly have any problems. Others will need some time to get used to it. After that, however, the frying works very well.Pro
- Fried as advertised
- Relatively easy to clean
- Many programmes for different foods
Contra
- Partly no intuitive operation possible
- Manual contains errors, does not explain everything
I like it!
I couldn't wait and the fries were already cooking in the cooking area 5 minutes after unpacking. However, I tried frozen fries cut too thin, they tend to become matchsticks, the hand-cut, market-fresh ones were just lovely after 28 minutes (automatic setting on 1), crispy, and above all one thing, not greasy. There is never the typical fryer smell in the kitchen which is very pleasant. After use, the appliance is cleaned in a minute. The frying insert is also cool, burgers and fries are ready at the same time if you fill it properly. I wish everyone a lot of fun and a lot of good experiences.

- Good
Contra
- Lack of recipe ideas
Device good, instruction manual with many errors.
The operating instructions refer to incorrect illustrations in the first 10 image references. The user manual has many spelling mistakes. Text wording is partly as if the manufacturer had the manual translated into German by Google.
The device itself is otherwise really very good. You can make super (healthy) dishes in no time with little effort and no cooking experience.Pro
- easy to use
Contra
- Operating instructions incorrect
