You should know the marinade mode can s "perform only with the marinade container that costs quite expensive. Not at all like I imagined me, we do not do a pickled dish that rarely last for me. So I regret taking the model "upscale" for a little more that I will not use it The range below me have simply v 3240, it costs less expensive it is the same without the marinade mode. Otherwise I do not regret my purchase, regret them well worth my time boxes are too small
