Quick answer

Cleaning effort depends on basket shape, coating, removable inserts, accessories and the foods cooked most often. Treat easy-clean claims as prompts to inspect the parts.

What to check

  • Check whether baskets, trays and racks are removable.
  • Review coating care instructions before using liners or metal tools.
  • Consider sticky, fatty or crumb-heavy foods separately from dry snacks.
  • Check sink and dishwasher space for the largest removable part.
  • Look for crevices around handles, doors and heating areas.

Trade-offs

Accessories can reduce mess for some foods, but they can also reduce airflow or add washing up. Non-stick parts need care to avoid shortening their useful life.
