The limitations of a small toaster oven are made all the more apparent when comparing the COMFEE CFO-BB101 to the Instant Omni Plus 18L. The Instant has one of the best performance scores among all the toaster ovens we’ve tested thanks to its consistently great cooking results.

On the other hand, the Comfee just can’t compete using the same amount of food. This was most likely due to its small capacity, power rating of 1000 W, two quartz heating elements, and the absence of a convection system. In comparison, the Instant has 1800 Watts of power, four quartz heating elements and one swirl nichrome heating element, and a convection system.

The Comfee doesn’t offer much in terms of design or usability beside its detachable crumb tray. Its exterior shell also doesn’t have as good heat insulation as the Instant. The touchscreen of the Instant has many convenient features, albeit not perfect, including smart programs, cooking presets, toggles, and audio cues.

The clear winner here is the Instant Omni Plus 18L with its overall efficiency at a good price. Despite the one-side outcome, the Comfee CFO-BB101 is still a decent choice for saving energy, space, and budget.
