How to choose
Match capacity to your cooking
Capacity is given in quarts for the NutriChef and the Nuwave, at 24 qt and 30 qt, and in cubic feet for the Cuisinart, at 0.90 cu. ft. The Cuisinart cooks a 13-lb. turkey and bakes a 13-in. pizza, while the NutriChef box includes a grill, kebab skewer racks, and a bake pan. A figure alone does not decide fit, so check the oven dimensions against your counter space before you buy.
Compare functions and temperature control

The NutriChef covers rotisserie, bake, broil, and kebab rack cooking, the Nuwave offers 112 one-touch presets, and the Cuisinart offers ten functions and five presets for 15 in total. Temperature control matters because it sets the heat for each job: the NutriChef sets from 0°F to 464°F, the Nuwave from 50°F to 500°F, and the Cuisinart from 80°F to 450°F, depending on the cooking function.
Check controls, shelves, and upkeep
Controls differ across these picks: the NutriChef uses knob control, the Nuwave uses button control, and the Cuisinart uses touch control. Shelves also differ: the NutriChef has 2 shelves and the Nuwave has 4 shelves. For upkeep, slide-out parts help: the Cuisinart rack, basket, crumb tray, 2-in-1 pan, and grill/griddle slide out for washing. The NutriChef grill racks are stain-resistant and easy to clean.
