Real World Performance and Day to Day Use

The 8.5L dual basket design lets you cook two large dishes simultaneously without mixing odours, which helps when preparing different foods for the same meal. Smart Finish is especially useful because it helps both sides finish at the same time, reducing the worry of one dish being ready too early.
The wide LED screen makes it easier to navigate menu options and temperature settings, while Match Cook saves time by copying settings from one side to the other. The included dishwasher safe accessories, such as the dehydrating rack, cooking rack, grill and skewer rack, also help reduce cleaning concerns and make the appliance more versatile for regular use.
