Buy the TOSHIBA.
More power and more room inside beat a smaller price tag you only notice once.
What was compared

- COMFEE' Retro Microwave Oven · $95.99
- Toshiba EM131A5C-BS Microwave · $149.99
Five reasons
1. Cooks food faster and more evenly
1000W outmuscles the 700W motors in both the Chefman and the Comfee, so a frozen meal or a mug of coffee hits temperature quicker without the cold center weak microwaves leave behind. That gap shows up every single time you press start.
2. Fits real meals, not just mugs
At 1.2 cu ft the Toshiba swallows a casserole dish or full dinner plate that the 0.7 cu ft Chefman and Comfee can't close the door on. Unless you're only reheating single plates in a tiny dorm, the extra room earns its keep daily.
3. Bigger plates sit flat, not tilted
The 12.4 inch turntable spins wider dishes than the Chefman's 10.4 inch carousel, so bowls and plates heat flat instead of catching the edge. That's even heating versus a cold rim, and it happens every time you microwave something bigger than a bowl.
4. Reads your food so you don't guess
12 auto menus plus a smart humidity sensor adjust cook time automatically, something the Chefman's 6 presets and the Comfee's 9 presets can't do. You stop guessing power levels for everyday reheats and defrosts.
5. Yes it costs more. Buy it anyway.
The Chefman and Comfee undercut it by roughly $50 to $54, but that buys you 300 fewer watts and 70% less cavity space you'll hit a wall on fast. For something you run twice a day for years, the extra cost disappears into daily use within months.
