    The bottom line

    What the product listing won't tell you

    Know before you buy

    The baking tray — where your food sits directly — has no disclosed material. This is the primary food-contact accessory, and Midea does not specify whether it is stainless steel, aluminum, or coated. Until this is resolved, the safety score cannot reflect the product's true quality.

    Buy it if

    • You want a stainless steel oven interior at a budget-friendly price under $170.

  1. You need 10 cooking modes including air fry, slow cook, and dehydrate in one countertop appliance.

  2. You cook for a family of 4-6 and need a 26-quart capacity that fits a whole chicken.

  3. You plan to use your own stainless steel or glass bakeware instead of the included tray.

    4. Skip if

    • You need full material transparency on every food-contact surface before purchasing.

    • You require third-party PFAS testing or NSF 537 certification — Midea only offers a brand-level claim.

    • You want a confirmed safe baking tray included out of the box without needing to contact the manufacturer.
