Philips HD6975 OTG Review-Is it worth it?
Philips HD9675 is an all-rounder OTG that has great design, features, and amazing performance.
If you are a family of 2-4 members and need an OTG for baking, toasting and grilling then consider this Philips OTG. Also, consider the OTG for its performance and overall usability.
It perfectly suits the medium-sized family of 2-4 members due to 25Ltrs of capacity. Philips OTG has an advanced temperature control function called Opti-temp.
The performance on the temperature control is really good, giving you an accurate temperature for cooking.
And coming to temperature control the knobs help you increase and decrease the temperature by 5 degrees, thereby giving you greater control.
The light system is good to enjoy the process of cooking, and the soft turn knobs are easy to operate.
The number of accessories provided is also one of the better reasons to consider the OTG, gives you all that you need from a machine.
Coming to its drawbacks the door handle of the OTG becomes hot making you use gloves or cloth for removing the food item.
Also, this oven is not convection, convection ovens are ovens that have a fan that circulates hot air inside. Thereby providing even distribution of heat and hence evenly cooked food.
But that does not take away the advantages the OTG provides. It is still a very good buy.
Should you go for a Microwave instead?
If you are confused if you should consider a Microwave instead of an OTG then let us understand how an OTG works.
An OTG uses heating coils to generate the heating effect in the chamber whereas microwaves use microwaves(Radio waves) to heat up. The heating coils also provide the flavor of the coal from traditional or outdoor grills.
Therefore if you want an Oven that reheats your food and does a bit of cooking then consider a Solo Microwave.
And if you want Oven that multifunctions with toasting grilling and baking too, then consider an OTG, and that too Philips HD6975 OTG.
Alternatives
If you are a larger family and need a convection oven instead of an OTG then consider Samsung Microwave Oven, which has all that you need in an oven.
If you are a larger family and want more capacity then consider Borosil OTG which is larger than Philips OTG and also has Convection mode.
If budget is your priority then consider Bajaj OTG which is 22litres and is also highly ranked.
If you are a bachelor and need an OTG for basic needs then consider this Bajaj OTG.
