Where these two actually differ
- We flag PTFE fume release (conditional on coating type), Non-stick coating degradation and peeling, Aluminum leaching (if housing or plate substrate contains aluminum) and Thermal injury risk from uninsulated housing on the Delonghi and not on the Delonghi.
- The Delonghi is stainless steel cooking plates where the Delonghi is Non-stick coated cooking plates (composition unspecified), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- We are less certain about the Delonghi grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
