Mine earned my valuable counter space. You want 1600 watts or more, 5+ quarts. I use mine all the time. steaks taste like fresh off the grill. It will not heat your space in the summer, french fries, onion ring, guilt free. chicken, pork chops with shake and bake the best. Mine is a NuWave but that is unimportant. get one you like the features. Push buttons for chicken, beef, reheat are the best. Oh reheat refreshes restaurant food just like it is being served fresh. We now look over to leftovers.
