Whilst this mini-oven does seem rather good value for money in some respects, prospective purchasers should know that there is actually no adjustment to the heat control on either of the two hotplates. They are either off or on. You can't have them set at simmer, for example. I have never come across this on any other cooker, and it is not good for the cooking, or for the consumption of electricity. Another quirk of this product is that both of the hotplates and the oven are operated by the use of a single timer. Whilst you can choose which elements to have on at any one time, the timer is, in effect, the off/on switch for all the elements. Very odd, and it does take a bit of getting used to. There is a real danger of turning on the oven and finding that the hotplates have come on as well if you forgot to turn them to "Off" after the timer turned them off last time they were used. I think the cooker looks quite funky, but if I did not have an alternative hot plate (I have a separate gas hob) I would be pretty miffed by these uncontrollable hotplates provided by Frigidaire.
