| Experience | Requirement or wish | |
| The gas cannot be easily turned on by pushing the button, as the gas burner slides to much in the box. | The heat source is stable and unmoveable when in use. | |
| The Fortune Cooker cannot be easily lifted on your own, in terms of weight. | The weight of the product must ensure its stability. | |
| The weight of the product is as small as possible. | ||
| At this moment the Fortune Cooker has many sharp edges because of the press plates that are not attached close enough to the frame. | The product does not contain sharp edges. | |
| On the inside the material is easy to clean. | The product is easy to clean. | |
| The cracks, on the other hand, are hard to clean. | The product is easy to clean. | |
| When replacing the broken glass, it was no problem to unscrew a part of the product, but tearing the staples was hard and also left the pressure plates damaged. | Dismantling of the product can be done without damaging any parts. | |
| The product is easy to repair. | ||
| The mirror can only be fixed in the right position on your own, when you already know in advance which pair of triangles to use for the best angle. | The mirror can be adjusted in the right position by one person. | |
| Otherwise, the mirror has to rest on something while choosing the right pair of triangles. | When the mirror is not used, it should be stored safely. | |
| The upper glass plate is hard to remove to clean it. | The product is easy to clean. | |
| The flame goes out, when the gas has no oxygen supply. Therefore the door has to be open while the gas is on, otherwise a gas bomb is formed. | The product cannot built up a gas supply within the box, when gas is used as a heat source. | |
| You can burn yourself on the door, while reaching for the pan, as the inside of the door gets hot. | The user cannot get burned while touching the product during cooking. | |
| The use of the door makes actions such as opening the pan to stir more difficult. | Food or beverages can be removed from the inside of the product easily |
