The Comfee Toaster Oven (CFO-BB101) and the Hamilton Beach Easy Reach 4 Slices (31344DA) are two standard, small units that each have a quirk in their design. The latter costs a bit more but in return, has a slightly better overall score than the former.
The Comfee has a detachable crumb tray which usually helps with cleaning the inside. However, the Comfee’s cooking chamber is so small that the tray doesn’t help much.
The Hamilton has a roll-top door that moves out of the way while you bring food in and out as well as while you clean. It also helps save some counter space while doing so.
Other than their quirks, both toaster ovens only have two quartz heating elements and a few analog control dials. The aspect that separates them is the fact that the Hamilton has a much higher build quality than the Comfee.
The Hamilton has a thicker casing for better heat insulation. Its dials are also firmer and easier to precisely adjust than the Comfee’s.
Both toaster ovens have relatively low power outputs and no convection system. The Comfee scored higher than the Hamilton in roasting whole chicken and baking fries but lower in baking pizza. What really brought down the Comfee was its bad toast results—a test that takes up a large portion of our evaluation.
