Yes. Thanks to the Cyclone Air Fryer technology, you can place frozen foods directly into the basket and start the air fry program immediately, as the unit heats up rapidly without needing a preheat cycle.
How do I pause or change the cooking function while the oven is running?
If you need to adjust your settings, simply press and hold the Stop button for 3 seconds to pause the current operation, which then allows you to select a new cooking function.
What is the best way to clean the interior and the glass door?

4.0 out of 5 stars Happy with oven I’ve now been using the Midea for two months. It’s small and compact, and looks nice on the counter. It looks too small to cook a 12-inch pizza, but if you can, it’s gonna be a tight fit. One negative is that it says it has a “broil function,” but this oven does not broil. You have heating elements on top and bottom, so basically, you’re baking not broiling. When broiling, you only cook/heat from the top, so that was a disappointment. My experience with air fryer toaster ovens is that few of them do a really good job toasting. Well, this one does. In the manual, it says “Never use glass or ceramic pans or lids.” I live in Florida, and often use my toaster oven for heating up leftovers or casseroles in glass, especially in summer, so this was important to me. I posted a question on Amazon. Midea actually responded saying that it was OK to use glass or ceramic in the oven. I have a countertop air fryer which I’m very happy with, but this oven also does a good job air frying, so now I have two! I know some of the reviewers commented that it doesn’t shut down when you push the off button. The control panel will say OFF and it is off, but it just takes a minute or so to cycle down. It took a little time to get acclimated to how to use all of the functions, but it’s not difficult, and I’m pretty happy with my purchase.Variation: Size: 26.4 QTColor: Stainless steel
5.0 out of 5 stars Midea airfryer This is a major upgrade from our Instant Pot Pro airfryer! This baby airfries like a champ, fits a standard quarter sheet pan, and bakes like a dream with no hotspots. The accessories are sturdy and well made. The oven is easy to clean, not a lot of annoying crannies to collect crud. The controls are actual buttons and dials, no crappy touchscreens and are straightforward.The only thing I don’t like is the crumb tray. It’s about 1/2 an inch too short for the bottom of the oven, so you have to decide if you want to pull it all the way forward and clean the unprotected rear of the oven or push it all the way back and scrub the front of the oven where all the gunk usually lands. A minor thing, but annoying. I’m hoping it will last, but I’m very pleased with it so far!Variation: Size: 26.4 QTColor: Stainless steel
5.0 out of 5 stars It does everything I wanted in a toaster oven. Wow this is so much better than my old toaster oven. It heats up quickly and works beautifully. Now I haven’t done a lot yet since I just got it but so far it’s been perfect to use. It’s big enough for a pizza, a chicken, and maybe even a turkey breast cone thanksgiving. It doesn’t heat up my entire kitchen either. I live the knobs instead of having digital dials. The digital dials have always been difficult for me to use. This is so easy, turn the knob to bake, air fry, pizza etc setting, press the knob in for time, and hit start. Easy to see your food cooking with the interior lights. The doors open together giving you plenty of room to put your food in or take out. The overall appearance is so nice too all stainless steal. Not a huge footprint on my counter. Just love everything about it. My fridge is a Midea and that works well so when I saw this oven I had to buy it. I know the quality of Midea and trust this oven should last me a long while. Great buy…Variation: Size: 26.4 QTColor: Stainless steel
5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Timesaver The Midea Flexify Classic French Door Toaster Oven Air Fryer Combo has quickly become a favorite in my kitchen. Its elegant stainless steel French-door design looks great on the countertop and allows easy access without reaching over a hot door.The 26.4-quart capacity is spacious, fitting a 12-inch pizza, multiple slices of toast, or a full family meal. With 10 cooking functions—including air fry, bake, roast, broil, toast, reheat, dehydrate, and warm—it can replace several small appliances. The manufacturer also claims it cooks up to 25% faster while using up to 90% less oil when air frying. (Midea)What impressed me most is its even cooking. Air-fried foods come out crispy outside and tender inside, while baked items brown nicely. It heats quickly, the digital controls are easy to use, and cleanup is simple with the removable crumb tray and included accessories.My only suggestion is to spend some time learning cooking times and rack positions, as they differ from a conventional oven. Once familiar, the results are excellent.Overall, this is an attractive, well-designed, and highly functional countertop oven. If you want a toaster oven, air fryer, and convection oven in one, the Midea Flexify is an excellent value. I highly recommend it.Variation: Size: 26.4 QTColor: Stainless steel
5.0 out of 5 stars Quality I have used a few times. It takes longer to heat up than smaller air fryer models plus slow to toast bread. However, I baked cookies and heated up frozen nuggets. Turned out fine. My objective for buying this oven airfryer is to bake bread more evenly. My conventional oven has uneven heat. This unit is beautiful! All steel. Well constructed. I love the french doors! The price is acceptable for this unit. Be aware that this unit gets very hot on top! Do not use when under a cupboard! Space it away from walls as instructed! This unit would be great for college dorms and apartments. Multiple functions.Variation: Size: 26.4 QTColor: Stainless steel
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for family meals I’ve been really happy with this oven so far. The French door design is one of my favorite features because it’s much more convenient to use and I don’t have to reach over a hot door when taking food out, which feels much safer. I use the air flyer function the most since my kids love chicken wings and French fries. It’s gives them a nice crispy texture while using much less oil. So I feel better serving these food to my family. Even though this oven has a lot of cooking functions, the controls are simple and easy to understand .setting the time and temperature only takes a few seconds. Making it very easy to use every day.Variation: Size: 25 QTColor: Stainless Steel
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Toaster and Easy to Use I’ve been very happy with this toaster oven. It has a sleek stainless steel design that looks great on my countertop, and the French doors make it easy to access food while saving space. The interior is surprisingly spacious and easily fits the included baking tray and air fry basket. It heats up quickly, cooks food evenly, and the digital controls are simple to use with multiple cooking functions like Air Fry, Bake, Toast, etc. The accessories feel sturdy, cleanup is easy, and overall it offers excellent value for the price. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, versatile, and stylish countertop oven.Variation: Size: 25 QTColor: Stainless Steel
1.0 out of 5 stars Too cheap & too dangerous Would chose 0 stars if it was an option. I guess the 1 star covers that it looks to be a pretty oven and it is supposed to provide so many cooking options. However, it is not a good product.Firstly, the package was too light for an oven that provides so many cooking methods. That was the first clue that it was a cheaply made product.Then when unpacked, the right side door was slightly ajar & wobbly when closed.Also, there was no sealer than runs inside along all sides of the doors, only partially along the top was there a flimsy thin rubber tube that was spliced.There is also a significant gap between the french doors which also hinted that a lot of heat would be escaping when cooking. (visible in the pics)I followed the instructions to run the oven on bake for a preliminary 15 minutes to “burn off excess oils”. So much heat was emitted; every side of the machine got excessively hot; front, sides, top & back. The front was expected cause of the french doors gap & barely a seal. But also not surprising from all other sides which are metal (no heat resistant coating) with only some ventilation on the left & right side.When I detected a slight chemical odor during this baking session, I got worried as I did not see any smoke or substances from the front. I decided to carefully pull out the devise to check the back; this is where I found the electric cord beginning to melt. (see pictures) Unfortunately, they placed the cord dangling from near the center top, instead of a corner like my microwave & old toaster oven.I went to turn the device off and wound up burning my finger because all the buttons & knob are also made of metal.If this occurred with only a 15 minute run, there is no way this machine can be used for a lengthy time. Imagine what could have happened if I had not stayed to monitor the devise.I am returning immediately.Variation: Size: 26.4 QTColor: Stainless steel
