The maker that publishes the pressure — and prints the warning others leave out
Midea appears in two families here: air fryers and multi-cookers.
80 kPa (about 11.6 psi). The CS6037W publishes its working pressure — on a pressure cooker, the specification the appliance is, and one many rivals leave out.
A stainless inner pot. The same machine uses steel where many rivals use coatings. The inner pot is the part that wears out on every electric pressure cooker; a coating goes first and steel does not.
A published caution, in the listing. Midea prints an instruction most makers leave to the manual: after cooking liquid foods such as porridge or soup, do not turn the outlet valve or press the steam release. A maker willing to print the awkward bit in its sales copy has earned something.
Three figures on a small air fryer. The MAF20P0BPK publishes 1,150 W, a range of 176 to 392 °F (80 to 200 °C) and a 60-minute timer — figures many pricier air fryers leave out.
Where the counting slips. The multi-cooker is named 9-in-1 and its specification lists fourteen functions. Both are Midea’s, and both appear on our page. It is a small inconsistency, but it is one.
And what is missing. No wattage on the multi-cooker, and no external dimensions on either product.
Both models reviewed here are European references with no Amazon.com listing. They sit at the end of their shelves for that reason. Midea Group also sells pressure cookers in the US under its COMFEE’ brand — the COMFEE’ 12-in-1 on this site is one, with a nonstick pot and ten listed safety features. For US options, see the multi-cookers page, the air-fry toaster ovens and the brands page.
6 L · 80 kPa · stainless inner pot
The highest published pressure of this family at 80 kPa, in a 6-liter body with a stainless steel inner pot. Midea lists nine functions in the name and fourteen in the specification, covering yoghurt, rice, slow cooking, sous-vide, steaming and pasta, with keep-warm on top.
Best for: Anyone who would rather not own an inner pot with a coating on it.
2 L · 1,150 W · 80–200 °C (176 to 392 °F)
The smallest air fryer on this site, and the one whose controls are two dials rather than a screen. Midea publishes 2 liters, 1,150 W and a range of 80 to 200 °C (176 to 392 °F) with a timer to 60 minutes; the basket and the removable crisper plate are non-stick and declared dishwasher-safe.
Best for: One person, a small countertop, and a cook who would rather turn a dial than read a screen.
