COMFEE Toaster Oven vs Oster French Door

Overall Verdict

The Comfee Toaster Oven (CFO-BB101) and the Oster French Door Digital Convection Toaster Oven (TSSTTVFDDG) are truly polar opposites in terms of their sizes. The former has the smallest footprint while the latter has the largest cooking chamber in our roster. Their sizes are in correlation with their scores but are not the direct causation.

Exterior-wise, each has a unique feature—the Comfee has a detachable crumb tray and the Oster has a french door. Interior-wise, however, the small Comfee lacks the convection system, lighting, and number of heating elements that the Oster has.

The worst part about both of their designs is the build quality. The Oster’s french door can slam shut if you slip and the flat buttons usually require a lot of force to register. Nonetheless, its control panel is still easier to use than the Comfee’s not-so-precise analog dials. The Oster’s large cooking chamber had so much space to minimize potential messes, which wasn’t the case with the Comfee.

Due to the Comfee’s low power output and lack of convection, it performed below average in terms of toasting bread and baking pizza and fries. It had a decent score in roasting chicken though.

The Oster was slightly above average in toasting bread and breaking pizza. It was able to maintain a good temperature and convection setting to score quite high in roasting chicken. However, that wasn’t the case when baking fries, resulting in a below-average score.
