Details in a nutshell: it has a crazy amount of color options, a volume of 1.7 cubic feet and chows through 1000 watts. It has speed settings for the venting system and has lights installed underneath. It boasts sensors,some fancy settings and a light that switches on when the charcoal filter needs to be changed. Overall, it’s in middle of this list price-wise, but offers an array of benefits. It’s the largest machine here, and it’s powerful. It automatically sets the defrost time once you’ve punched in the weight, and it boasts a melt feature. No more opening the door every few seconds because you’re terrified your chocolate, marshmallows or caramel will burn. When it comes to sensor capabilities, it doesn’t have has many food choices as the two Sharps (other than the functional defrost, melt and reheat, it has beverage, popcorn and potato options), but you can get a lot of use out of what it does offer.

This unit probably wouldn’t do well for baking.

The control panel isn’t backlit hence a pain to read in dimly lit kitchens.

This model had no discernible flaws in its performance.
