What is Number of programs?

In short

The program count is how many built-in cooking programs an appliance offers, and more programs means less fiddling.

Program count is the number of built-in cooking programs on an appliance, from air fryers to blenders. Each program sets its own heat, time or speed, so you press a button instead of setting the machine yourself. More programs suit a household that cooks the same meals often. Bosch Hausgeräte lists 10 programs on an air fryer, and Bosch 8 on a single-drawer model. Beko lists 7, Arno 24 and Braun Household 18 on a blender.
