BLACK+DECKER EM036AB14 vs Farberware FMO16AHTBKE

The BLACK+DECKER EM036AB14 is 100W more powerful (1200W vs 1100W), which means faster cooking and more even results. At 19 1/8" wide, the Farberware is 1 1/4" narrower than the BLACK+DECKER — a meaningful difference in tight spaces. The Farberware adds sensor cooking that the BLACK+DECKER lacks.

Bottom line

Choose the BLACK+DECKER if you prioritise faster cooking; go with the Farberware if a smaller footprint and sensor cooking matters more to you.
