The new models have important features like Wi-Fi to control them from your phone, hundreds of automatic cooking options, the ability to cook frozen and ready-to-eat meals, durable stainless-steel interiors, doors that swing to the side or pull down in different designs (like floral or wave patterns) to match modern kitchens, and a special Charcoal Lighting Heater in some models that comes with a 10-year warranty for grilling and charring food.
