Go for it if you...
You want 12-in-1 cooking versatility — air fry, rotisserie, dehydrate, and more — at a mid-range price.
Digital LED display with knob controls and 12 presets match how you prefer to interact with your oven.
Material composition of the interior is not a deciding factor for your family.
You prioritize exceptional toast and pastry results above all else and are willing to upgrade the baking tray separately.
You plan to buy the Noda Horo enamel tray accessory to replace the included aluminum tray before cooking acidic foods.
You value Japanese design craftsmanship and use this oven primarily for bread, not for acidic dishes or family meals.
You already own this oven and want to understand the material tradeoffs before committing to long-term daily use.
The main thing to know
COMFEE confirms 'nonstick interior' but won't say what type. Notably, other COMFEE air fryer models advertise BPA & PFOA Free — but this specific toaster oven model does not carry those claims. The parent company Midea uses porcelain-enamel in its own Flexify model, making the coating gap on this sub-brand product harder to overlook.
The included baking tray appears to be bare aluminum — the material your food sits directly on — and BALMUDA has made no PFAS-free statement for this product. At $299, those are gaps we would not expect to find.
Skip this if you...
You want to know what's coating the inside of your oven — COMFEE won't disclose the nonstick type for this model.
You'd rather spend $30 more for the parent brand's Midea Flexify, which uses a fully transparent porcelain-enamel interior.
Other COMFEE products advertise BPA/PFOA-free and this one doesn't — that inconsistency raises questions.
Verified food-contact material safety is your top priority — no PFAS certification exists for this product and the included baking tray is bare aluminum.
You want a toaster oven safe for cooking acidic foods like tomato-based dishes or citrus without purchasing aftermarket accessories.
You are buying a toaster oven for a household with young children and want independently verified clean materials from day one.
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
