Match countThe count uses the current product-to-need assignments for “My counter space is tiny”, “I want to heat only a small cavity”, and “I want very simple controls”. A need with no documented match does not count.
Calculation noteThis median uses quart figures only. Liter and cubic-foot oven cavities are excluded because they are not directly comparable with basket capacity. The median covers 29 of 35 models with comparable published figures.
