COMFEE Toaster Oven (CFO-BB101) vs Panasonic Flashxpress Digital

Overall Verdict

The Comfee Toaster Oven (CFO-BB101) is our smallest unit while the Panasonic FlashXpress Digital Toaster Oven (NB-G110P) is our pick for the best energy-saving pick in the small category. Comparing them shows that saving space may not get you the best quality. Both products look quite attractive in their own ways but their features are quite limited.

The Comfee has a neat detachable crumb tray for cleaning the interior, which is always appreciated in a small toaster oven. However, it only has 2 control dials, 2 quartz heating elements.

The Panasonic has higher scores in design and usability, but not by much. It has a digital control panel, a unique auto-pull rack, and an interior light that’s rare in a small unit. However, they aren’t the most practical in actual use.

The strongest point of the Panasonic is its ability to reach and maintain a high temperature relative to its low power output, resulting in shorter cooking times and less energy consumption compared to its peers. However, it only achieved above average scores in our cooking tests. The Comfee, unfortunately, simply performed inadequately in all of the dishes.
