To make it short: the device is perfect for a fondue evening at max. 6 friends. The variable output of 1200 watts is enough to leave anyone hungry; the heating time is about 5 min. for 1.5 kg of fat. The pot is sturdy and its state strong enough to withstand childish participation. The unit looks at the table of good, has a 2m cable and is really easy to clean in spite of exposed heating coil. The only complaint: 6 supplied forks are too little; Man (n) has just prefer more than 1 iron in the fire. Delivery + financial settlement: no discussion - 6 well-deserved points.
