Positives:
It's powerful. It has no gimmicks (including). You can turn it off and infinitely variable - that's all. The appearance makes rather a solid, rather than a jet-setter-impression. Infinitely variable can not be, however, the bottom heat. But we did not have the impression to have missed it.
Negatives:
However, Hardy's something that you can sit in a circle bad. The two people that sit at the ends of the device have drawn the short straw. Although they come easily serve up your pan (left and right), but can ill see if the food is ready. After all, it promotes communication at the table - and that is also the sense of a raclette. Oh, and stink doing the thing in the beginning. But is not really a negative. Just leave a quarter run with the window open until half an hour before using it in a closed bathroom.
Cleaning:
Unlike the provisional opinion here, the cleaning is not quite mega simple. So put simply in the dishwasher is not. The burnt and dried-points does not pack the dishwasher also. But compared to other raclette, cleaning is really easy. Just be careful vorschrubben something and then put in the dishwasher.
Conclusion:
We would buy it again. The aforementioned ass card argument weighs in our opinion not as high. It is thus not a 08/15-Raclette. And the stone is also an eye-catcher.
