Our Verdict

Breville the Joule Oven Air Fryer Pro

Midea Flexify Pro

The Midea Flexify Pro is a better air fryer than the Breville the Joule Oven Air Fryer Pro for most people. The Midea preheats and cooks faster than the Breville, and it maintains a more stable temperature throughout the process. Your food also comes out more evenly cooked with the Midea, so less of each batch is mushy or burnt. Having said that, the Breville is more versatile, with a wider range of temperature settings and fan speeds that make it a better choice for baking, roasting, dehydrating, and more. The added versatility is unlikely to justify the significantly higher price tag for most people. However, if you're planning to use the Breville oven to replace multiple kitchen appliances, it may be worth it, especially considering it has enough capacity to replace your regular oven for most tasks.
