The instructions are terrible and so is text support. I couldn't get it to show how much time was left in the cooking cycle. I texted support and they couldn't help and escalated my problem to higher support. While I was waiting, I figured it out myself. Once the oven preheats to the set temperature, you have to press the start button one more time to start the cook cycle. My previous ovens started cooking when it reached the set temperature. No other button pushing was needed. They say you can start cooking without preheating and I figured that out while waiting for the telephone support person to return to the phone. Once you choose the cook setting, turn the same knob a little bit counter-clockwise. That turns off the preheat light and starts the timer as soon as you press start. FYI: In my experience, telephone support is much better than text support. She even registered my oven for me. I have only used the oven two times, both on bake. It worked well and cooked my meals without burning. The only issue is the instructions. They are terrible. I couldn't find their phone number in the manual. It is listed on their website. Read more

Got this Midea Flexify Pro to replace our old toaster oven, with the hopes for increased performance, and mostly for the air fryer function. TLDR is that this is a great toaster, and has a bunch of great modes. If you've never had a toaster oven, this will blow you away - if you have, this is just a really good convection toaster oven with air frying built in. Modes: There are a ton of modes on this device, but I'm sure most people will not use all of them. I've used a good number, air fry, bake, toast, pizza, and keep warm. They are actually quite different from each other so make sure to test them out and see what works well for you. Both the bake and air fry settings have a preheat option, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes or so, and makes the result of the timed cooking period more what I'd expect. Preheat: The graphene elements in the top help bring up the overall temperature pretty quickly, but I've found that the fact that graphene is in it hasn't really decreased the overall cook time when compared with our old toaster. This could just be because our old toaster was a pretty good one, but I'm not super sure. Seem smore of a marketing term than anything else. General baking: We've cooked a good number of things in here, including frozen salmon and fish sticks. I've found that due to the height of the upper tray area, oil can tend to splatter a bit. This isn't really an issue just something to be aware of. It seems the graphene elements are in glass tubes, so you don't have to worry about them getting ruined. Ease of use: Overall, this is a pretty easy to use oven, but it has some quirks. For one, you have to click or turn the scroll wheel to wake up, wait a second,. and then you can select your cook mode. I sort of wish you could just click into your cook mode immediately. Additionally, when scrolling through the modes, it has both the preheat and normal cook modes for air fry, pizza, and bake, just sort of thrown in there as additional scroll positions. This is a bit annoying because it takes longer to get where you need to go. I wish the preheat option was just tacked on as a different button or similar. Noise: While running, there are two fans. One is for the convection and air fry functions, and the other is for cooling the electronics. Believe it or not, the electronics cooling fan is actually louder, and it can be quite annoying because it stays on for a bit after the cook cycle is done. To turn it off, you can hit cancel twice and it will turn the machine off completely. As for cleaning, a lot of the stuff is coated with non-stick, however the air frying basket is extremely annoying to clean and will rip all of your sponges to shreds, so make sure to clean it with a brush instead. The tray is easy to clean, but annoyingly, has to sit on the grate in the toaster, rather than being able to be slotted into the sides directly. No tool is provided for picking the basket or the tray out of the toaster, unlike our old one, so you'll need to use an oven mitt or similar for that. Not a huge deal. Overall, big fan of this machine. Manual is good, functions are good. It does take a while for the "new oven" smell to go away, so make sure you take the time to run a full temp burn in when you get it for the factory oils to burn off. Read more
There are kitchen appliances that simply sit there, and then there are the ones that practically wink at you every time you walk by. This one definitely falls into the second category. The stainless‑steel finish is so polished that I’ve caught myself using it as a makeshift mirror more than once. And those French doors? They open with the kind of confidence usually reserved for someone revealing a surprise makeover. I didn’t expect to fall for an appliance, but here we are. What really won me over is how quickly it heats. I’m used to appliances that behave like they’re warming up for a marathon. This one acts like it’s sprinting. It reaches cooking temperature before I’ve even finished deciding what to make. The even heating is another perk. No more rotating trays like I’m auditioning for a cooking show. Everything cooks consistently, which makes the whole process feel smoother. Now, let’s talk about the food. Poultry comes out juicy, with crisp edges that make you feel like you put in far more effort than you actually did. Meats cook evenly without drying out, seafood stays tender, and vegetables get that perfect balance of caramelized and crisp. I even tried fruit—pineapple slices, to be exact—and they came out warm, sweet, and slightly golden. It’s the kind of result that makes you want to experiment just to see what else it can handle. Cleanup is another pleasant surprise. The interior wipes down easily, even after cooking something messy. No scrubbing, no soaking, no muttering under your breath. A quick swipe and it’s ready for the next round. It doesn't get any simpler than that! That alone makes it feel like a thoughtful upgrade. Kinda like a comparison from, a mop and bucket to a a power floor steam cleaner! 🤗 The size is generous without being overwhelming 😯! It fits larger dishes comfortably, and the French doors make access easier, especially when your hands are full. It’s a small detail, but one that ends up being surprisingly helpful! The instructions could use a little polishing. And yes, I would have liked for it to have included a second rack. But those are minor notes compared to everything it does well. It's an absolute gem! This appliance has made cooking feel enjoyable again. It looks great, works well, and handles a wide range of dishes without fuss. For anyone wanting something that performs consistently and adds a bit of charm to the counter, this one is worth considering. It has definitely earned my appreciation, and I’m glad to have it in my kitchen! Remember, the brand name is Midea! A 🏆 CHAMPION IN COOKING APPLIANCES! Read more
