- Viewing window
- Named best toaster-oven style by two reviewers

Pros
- Two full 5-quart zones
- Built-in smart thermometer
- Strong large-batch score
- Best for French fries at RTINGS
- Match Cook and Smart Finish
Cons
- Premium price
- Very large and heavy
- Coating durability is a concern for some owners

The right tool for households of five or more that cook several things at once. For smaller kitchens, a single basket is a better buy.
