I often wonder at the complaints about the materials S&B used to build the Mighty....plastic and aluminum, specifically.
So, what is it that people want. Don't like the plastic enclosure, so make it out of AL and people will complain and start citing info from AL cooking pans? Make it out of SS, and everybody will bitch that their portable now weights 5 lbs.
I just find its really easy to say "oh, use better and safer materials" without fully thinking through the implications.
So, for those who don't like plastic (which is such a broad term for a HUGELY wide range of materials with their equally HUGE range of characteristics) and don't like AL, what EXACTLY would you want and where?
I like the plastic enclosure. Don't hear people bitching about it getting hot during use...like say...the IQ?
I like the plastic enclosure because its easy to mold it with the cooling fins and other mechanical features while trying to do similar with milled AL or SS would be very expensive. I often hear people want "metal" over "plastic". But clearly not all metal. I mean, you don't want a pot metal, right?
I like the plastic enclosure as it seems that the material they used is pretty impervious to solvents the like and it doesn't weigh a ton.
For those who don't like the AL in the oven...what would you want in there?
For my part, I would like to see increased max temp, owner replaceable batteries, a flat bottom so people aren't having to buy 3rd party stands, and that's kind of it.
I rather adore my Mighty...can you tell! hahaha
