Comfee Toaster Oven (CFO-BB101) and the Black and Decker 4 Slice Toaster Oven (TO1760SS) are two standard, small units. The latter costs a bit more but in return, has a slightly better overall score than the former.

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 Black+Decker has a much higher build quality than the Comfee.

The Black+Decker has a thicker casing for better heat insulation. Its dials are also firmer and easier to precisely adjust than the Comfee’s.

The Comfee does stand out with its 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.

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.
