For product
The first impression after unpacking optically well, the total plastic look, because apart from the hob, the entire housing, as well as the operating elements made of thin plastic billigstem. Quality for this price looks in my opinion different.
No comparison to Sit 2000 was an excellent workmanship as yet what the body were concerned.
About the technology
Positv: The plate has on the right rear side of a switch, with which they can be switched off, which saves costs. The boiler can be operated intuitively via the controls, the temperature control is controlled via the left and middle buttons and set using the control knob with the left button the temperature display from 60-240 degrees in the lower temperature range up to 120 degrees in 5 degree increments thereafter in the middle and high temperature range in 10 and finally in 20 degree increments and the middle button of the steps 1-10. The right button is used to set the time, press 1 time for hours and twice for minutes, then adjust the knob to the desired value. The respective values are shown in the display, in the time specified, the display changes after a few seconds in the selected cooking mode and return the plate switches after the preset time with a faint beeping from.
The practical test
A small 1L saucepan made (from the same house as the kettle) with water in the center of the cooktop and brought with stage 10 to a boil. As usual, wonderfully quickly by induction. The fan is very loud. The hotplate are strange fiepende noises, well the material works with I thought to myself, repeating the cooking process, this time with the temperature setting 240 degrees. Everything was wonderful except for the extremely loud fan and the other noises. Now I tested the various stages. When the temperature setting the water boiled bubbling at 100 degrees, including 95 degrees pulsing it minimal, as it should be if you want to leave something simmering below the boiling point, including nothing happened, keep well for warm, in everything that went just over 120 degrees out I had to turn down the plate, otherwise the water would have boiled over.
At the temperature level setting saw things a bit differently to Level 4, nothing happened, at level 5 light pulses, level 6 cook light, stage 7 water cooks evenly, everything about it threatens to boil in a small pot over.
The whole is greater now a number, this time a pan of the same brand, with 18cm pan bottom. The actual cooking is relatively large, it should also be larger cookware possible one reviewer wrote something about 28cm pan bottom is heated evenly, my hotplate achieved the not even the 18cm pan is too large, there is only a small, my 1L saucepan (13cm) corresponding area in the middle, bubbly brought to a boil, the rest will remain unaffected, even at the highest temperature setting (3 min. 240 degrees), the disk fails, the 18cm to heat evenly. The water evaporates in the middle, otherwise nothing, except that the boiler now is so loud that it drowned out everything else does, that was enough for me. At this point I have the practical test aborted, printed my Amazon a return form and returned the device directly.
Conclusion: Keeping Up Appearances
The idea is good, the control panel is clearly arranged and intuitive to use, the temperature classification matches, the on-off switch on the back is top, so 2 points. The workmanship is good at first glance, but it seems to me from cheap materials, the actual hob size does not match the circular hotplate, it is much smaller, at least in rezensiertem of my stove, the whole unit is much too loud, not only the fans , That can not possibly be Maid in Germany and is certainly not advertising for the namesake. Who puts on good quality value, should perhaps look for alternatives. I for one would not buy these facilities and therefore may make no recommendation to buy him.
