Tristar OV-1443: what works, what doesn't?
What works well
- Cooker + oven in one appliance: Oven plus 2 hotplates, ideal for kitchens without connections
- Only one socket needed: No three-phase power, no fixed connection, just plug in
- 38 L fan oven: Largest cavity in the comparison, with even fan heat
- Space-saving: One footprint instead of two appliances, perfect for a tiny home
- Affordable (about €99): Complete cooking solution at a small price
Points of criticism
- Hotplates rather weak: The large plate takes noticeably long to boil water, better for keeping warm/slow cooking
- 3,100 W strains the fuse: Oven + both plates at once can push a 16 A circuit to its limit
- Temperature inaccurate: Actual temperature deviates from the set value, bake by eye
