The FlexDrawer answers the main limitation of two fixed baskets. Remove the divider and the two 5.2L zones become one large space, so you are no longer stuck splitting a big dish across two drawers. With the divider in, it behaves like a standard dual-zone unit, with seven functions and Sync finishing. It is the priciest pick here and physically large, but for households that regularly cook one big dish it is among the most flexible options here. Choose it if you often need one large open space for a joint or family traybake; skip it if you never do — the fixed-basket AF400 gives similar dual-zone cooking for around £95 less.
