Which one fits a baguette?

B. Its 24.5-inch interior width takes long loaves; A is 17 inches wide and will not close over a full baguette.

Is the steel-and-wood box worth it over the wide one?

Yes if you want the included cutting board and a smaller footprint, and you save $17 at Best Buy as of November 6, 2026. The wide box gives you more room for the extra money.

Which keeps bread fresher?

Both use a roughly 0.5-inch airflow gap, A along the hinges and B along the bottom. Neither is airtight, so expect similar few-day freshness for crusty bread.

Can I put either in the dishwasher?

No. A is hand wash only for base and lid. B is steel with magnet and silicone parts, so wipe it clean by hand.

B. It lists 32 liters and a 24.5-inch width; A lists 1.5 qt volume and holds multiple loaves and buns in a 17-inch box.

Can I stack things on top?

Both support about 22 lbs on the lid, so a small appliance or canisters are fine on either.
