How to choose
Match capacity and combo cooking to your kitchen
Start with capacity and cooking modes. The KoolMore and EliteEdge each hold 1.6 cu ft and combine microwave, convection and air fryer cooking, while the RecPro holds 1.1 cu ft with combination, convection, grill, microwave and roast modes. Pick the capacity that fits your dishes, then check that the modes cover the cooking you do every day.
Compare cooking power, sensors and presets
Cooking power sets how fast food heats. The EliteEdge uses a 950W microwave and the RecPro uses 900W power, while the KoolMore adds Sensor Cook with a temperature and humidity sensor that reads cooking conditions. For presets, the RecPro gives 9 express cook options and the EliteEdge gives preset cooking modes with detector cook. Compare the power and presets against the meals you cook every day.
Measure the cutout and check the outlet
Built-in fit matters as much as cooking modes. The KoolMore is a 24 in. model that needs a compatible 20-amp outlet for its NEMA 5-20P plug, the EliteEdge is a 30 inch wall mounted model, and the RecPro trim measures 24 inches wide by 16 3/4 inches high. Measure your cutout and confirm the outlet type before you order, so the model you pick slides into place.
