DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

The clear light-ring status system and tactile panel reduce guesswork. It is function-led rather than slim, and the automatic programmes are useful, but it has no user timer.

LONGEVITY

Tefal advertises 15-year repairability. Detachable plates and grease cups are practical service/cleaning advantages; preserve the non-stick coating with non-metal tools.
