Review on Oster 2124087 DiamondForce Electric 4 7 Quart by Mike Skinner

This product works great and the clear vented lid is a plus as you can still see the food with the lid closed. However, there is a major design flaw in the design and placement of the heating element and temperature controller. The photos show that the heating element is plugged in at the exact spot and under the carrying handle. This blocks the view of the temperature adjustment knob and makes it difficult to access and adjust the controls. To further aggravate the poor design there is also very poor contrast between the physical temperature scale and the temperature limits therefore the very poor placement of the heating element and scale is compounded by poor contrast in the markings and this makes it very poor. difficult to control the temperature. Plus, with everything recessed and tucked under the wok bowl, it's easy to touch the hot bowl with your hand while trying to reach the dial to set the temperature. Oster was able to easily fix this by rotating the Element 90 degrees (putting it between the cranks), moving the connection point slightly away from the base and outward to allow for better access and visibility of the controls, and finally simply for a high contrast between the dial and ensured the delimitation signs. .
