Control Panel
The control panel section has two control knobs for temperature and time settings. There are three buttons for light, function, and start/stop. Further, there is a display with 10 preset menus that help you choose your preferred options with ease. It is easy to use every function of this OTG because of the simple control panel.
Cooking Chamber
It has a capacity of 25 liters which is suitable for families with two to three people. The heating element used is highly effective and provide proper heating. The light inside the chamber helps see how the food is being cooked. We loved the beautifully designed glass door in the front. It has heavy-duty tempered glass and comes with a heat-resistant feature.
It includes most accessories required for cooking, but their quality is not that good. We found that the grill rack is thin and bends easily. As per the pricing, the accessories should be of good quality.
Cooking Performance
The overall performance of the Philips OTG is good. We have tried cooking every dish mentioned in the preset menus, and we have been impressed with its performance. Pizzas, chicken roasts, tikkas, grilled vegetables, and other dishes cooked in this OTG are tasteful and nutritious.
Some users state that this OTG burns food, and we found that it is happening if you cook more than the recommended time. If the recipe recommends cooking from 30 to 40 minutes, you shouldn’t cook more than 40 minutes to avoid burning food.
Safety
Philips has included many safety features in this OTG, so you can use it without issues. First of all, it has anti-slip feet for maximum stability on the kitchen counter. Further, the 90 minutes auto cut-off timer automatically shuts off the OTG after 90 minutes to prevent the food from burning. The stainless steel body with an integrated cord storage system ensures maximum safety.
Cleaning Process
Cleaning the device and the provided accessories is easy. Because of the stainless-steel construction, it is simple to clean. You can take a clean cloth and wipe the appliance to clean it. To clean the accessories, you can use dishwashing detergent.
Durability And After-Sale Service
This OTG is durable enough to last for a long time. It is made of high-quality steel materials, so you can use the appliance for a long time without any worries.
Philips has good after-sale service in India, so you don’t have to worry if there are any issues with the product. Also, there is a two-year warranty on this appliance, allowing you to contact the brand in case of any problems with the product.
Flaws But Not Deal Breakers
A problem found in this OTG is that it is making an inappropriate sound during operation. We don’t know why this sound is coming, and also, some reviews state that they have faced the same issue. However, we think this sound is nothing to do with the performance.
Comparison With Other Models
Compared to the Agaro and USHA OTGs of similar pricing, this OTG has a better design. Plus, its preset menus make it easier to cook different dishes. This function is not available in other brands’ OTGs. Also, it includes accessories for every cooking function.
Conclusion
The Philips 25-liter OTG is a good option to buy if you are looking for a compact OTG for your home. This appliance has several useful features to help you cook different dishes with ease. Also, it is reasonably priced and provides value for money.
