Tested Using Methodology v1.0Overall Verdict
The Breville BOV450XL came out on top against the COMFEE CFO-BB101 throughout all of our performance tests except for only one. These results can provide some insight into the strengths and weaknesses of each of these two small toaster ovens.
The Comfee uses 1000 W to power its two quartz heating elements. Meanwhile, the Breville supplies its four quartz heating elements at 1800 W. This could be the reason why the latter performed better in dishes that require a high temperature (> 400°F). However, we suspect the Breville’s smart heating algorithms might have caused inconsistencies in heat distribution which caused its subpar roasted chicken.
Design-wise, the Breville uses more durable material for its casing and also its accessories. It also has a non-stick interior coating for easy cleaning. While the Breville has a slide-out crumb tray, the Comfee has a detachable crumb tray.
Compared to the Comfee which has no additional features of convenience, the Breville has a number of unique features. Unfortunately, they didn’t prove to be of much use except for the temperature conversion button.
Overall, the Breville BOV450XL is the better performer with additional features and at a higher price. On the other hand, the Comfee saves more space and energy while doing the job to an acceptable degree.
