We'll look at the similarities and unique power features of each model.

Toaster Function - Same With Both Models:

The toaster function is the same in both units, with 800 watts of power and 9 toaster browning levels.

Overall Differences:

Both of these models are great space savers, but the larger model will provide faster microwaving due to the increased wattage, a larger dish can be accommodated on the turntable, it has an additional auto cook option, and sensor cook and popcorn features. If you're limited on space and microwave use is basic, the smaller unit may meet your needs quite well.

Range: $139 to $169
