Power Consumption 1000 W Approx. 2500 W Approx. 1500 W Cooking Time & Efficiency Fast: at 1000 W, it roasts a whole poultry for as quickly as 25 min Cooking through convection, conduction and penetration all at the same time. One-touch Turbo function plus various pre-set functions for easy & efficient operation Slow: at 1300 W, it roasts a whole poultry for at least 45 min Cooking solely with heating element – slower and less efficient No pre-set function available Slow: at 1500 W, it roasts a whole poultry at least 70 min. With microwave mode, cooking time is short but heat is unevenly distributed Some models have pre-set functions, but the max. temperature is 250°C Cooking Result With means of convection and circulation, heat fully embraces food so that it can be evenly cooked Far infrared penetrates deep into food tissues and heats up from within. Hence moisture can be trapped inside to keep food tender, while the outside is crispy and perfectly browned Not heating evenly – surface gets cooked quickly (or even burnt) while the inside is only warm or just cooked. Turning and shifting of food placement are required Not heating evenly – surface gets cooked quickly (or even burnt) while the inside is only warm or just cooked. Control Pane & Functions Digital control panel with time & temperature adjustments With a wide operating temperature range, it can function as an electric grill, rice cooker, conventional oven, microwave oven, toaster, stewing pot, skillets, etc. Baking and grilling only. No steaming, barbequing, defrost nor frying capability No control panel or control panel not smart enough Cleaning Just add in mild detergent and water into glass container, and it can remove oil and tough stain. Hard to clean Hard to clean or specialized detergent is required Mobility Portable overall design Heavy weight and bulky size makes it impossible to move around Heavy weight and bulky size makes it impossible to move around Food Safety Producing no radiation nor smoke while cooking Automatically shut off power whenever lid is opened The lid lock prevents the lid from knocking against the glass container. High power level – food easily gets burnt and oven may get overheated Heat is not distributed evenly – food easily gets (partially) burnt Radiation hazards
