Smaller cooking area limits versatility; better to buy the 22".
Flagged 27 July 2026
Shorter lifespan and weaker warranty than the 22" counterpart.
Flagged 27 July 2026
This older variant is often confused with the 22" model but lacks the same build quality and heat stability. RTINGS notes it “has a weaker lid seal,” while Serious Eats says it “doesn’t match the performance of the newer 22” version.” 【E1】
Flagged 26 July 2026
The 20″ version is older, has a smaller cooking area, and many reviewers note that it offers little more than the 22″ model for a lower price; its parts are also harder to source.
