01.Sunrise checks out the CHOICE labs
The Channel Seven Sunrise crew has headed deep inside the CHOICE labs to see exactly what our expert testers get up to in the course of a typical testing day.
Roving reporter, Edwina Bartholemew, was pretty impressed with our 'hedgehog thermometer' - the unique multi-pronged device that is used to see how well microwaves heat quiche all the way through. She also liked the fact that testing kitchen equipment and appliance at CHOICE also involves sampling the food!.
From the kitchen lab it was straight to the sound room where Edwina kicked back to old movies and jazz tunes in the soundbar test.
However a bit more training is required when it comes to testing garden products - she managed to break the hedge trimmer within five minutes of beginning the test!
It was in the toys lab that Edwina really shone - in fact our testers were only able to drag her away from our toy testing machines with the promise of getting the inside word on the best ultraportable laptop on the market!
Great to have Edwina and the Sunrise crew here; time now to go and put our labs back together!
