The Midea Flexify Pro suits households that want one countertop oven for air frying, pizza and toast, and it sits in the same price tier as Midea's own Flexify Classic. Its clearest upgrades are a PFAS-free enamel interior and a Pizza mode with four crust options, and in The Kitchenly's hands-on review its 450°F Flash Air Fry mode turned frozen fries golden in about 12 minutes. The trade-offs are a large footprint, only one wire rack in the box, and a graphene heater whose speed advantage is still Midea's claim rather than a lab-measured result.

Overview
Midea’s Flexify Pro (model MET26C4AST) is the upgraded version of the 26.4-quart Flexify French-door oven, and most of the upgrade sits where you can’t see it: graphene-based heating that Midea says heats up instantly and cooks evenly, a top turbo fan, and a PFAS-free enamel interior. It’s meant to cover the jobs of a toaster oven and a basket air fryer, plus pizza night, without turning on a full-size oven.
It sells alongside the Flexify Classic rather than replacing it, and the two are easy to confuse: both carry a 26.4-quart rating and French doors. The Pro adds the graphene heater, a 450°F Flash Air Fry setting, the enamel interior and a Pizza mode with four crust options, while the Classic keeps a second wire rack in the box that the Pro drops. Consumer Reports’ list price for the Pro and Midea’s own store price for the Classic put the two in the same price tier, so the choice comes down to features rather than budget.

Midea Flexify Pro Air Frying & Heat-Up Speed
The headline change is the heating hardware: graphene-based heating paired with a top turbo fan, plus a Flash Air Fry mode that runs at the oven’s 450°F ceiling. Midea says the graphene heater heats up instantly, but its product page gives no preheat time, and Consumer Reports keeps its test results behind a membership. That leaves the speed advantage over the Flexify Classic as a manufacturer claim that no public lab measurement confirms yet.
The one independent hands-on account of the Pro found so far comes from The Kitchenly, which compared it against a Typhur Sync Oven. In Flash Air Fry mode, frozen fries came out golden in about 12 minutes. Wings came out crisp outside and juicy inside with no flipping, and two trays of vegetables both cooked evenly with good color. The Kitchenly also called preheating to 400°F very fast but published no time. Those results are encouraging, but they come from one reviewer rather than a lab, which is why this review doesn’t credit the Pro with a measured speed edge.
Capacity, Rack Space & Pizza Mode
Consumer Reports’ spec listing puts the interior at 12.5 inches wide, 10.5 inches deep and 5.9 inches tall, with three rack positions and room for six slices of toast. The height is the figure to check against your tallest roasting dish, and the width is too narrow for a standard 9×13 baking pan. Midea doesn’t publish interior measurements for the Flexify Classic, so although both carry the same quart rating, there’s no source confirming the two cavities are identical.
Pizza mode is where the Pro’s cooking programs actually differ. It offers four crust options (classic, thin, rising and deep dish), where Midea lists a single Pizza preset among the Classic’s 10. One box-contents detail is easy to miss: Midea lists one baking rack with the Pro against two with the Classic. The enamel tray and air fry basket are the other included cooking surfaces, but a second wire rack for two-level cooking is an extra purchase.
Enamel Interior & Counter Footprint
Inside, the Pro uses an enamel coating that Midea describes as grease-resistant and PFAS-free and says wipes clean quickly. The baking tray is enamel too, and a crumb tray comes in the box. None of the sources cited here covers how the coating holds up after months of use, so durability rests on Midea’s word. Midea markets the enamel interior as a Pro feature and lists no interior material for the Classic, which makes it the most concrete reason to choose the Pro for buyers who want to avoid PFAS.
The oven itself is big: 17 x 16.4 x 13.8 in and 21.3 lb, per Midea’s listing. The Kitchenly said it takes up real counter space and that the exterior can run warm during long roasts, so leave clearance from walls and cabinets. The same review noted there’s no built-in meat probe for tracking doneness. The French doors are the everyday upside. On the Flexify Classic, which uses the same door layout, The Gadgeteer found the doors open slightly past 90 degrees, which keeps them clear of your hands and arms when food comes out.
How Does It Stack Up Against the Competition?
The Flexify Pro sits in the same price tier as Midea’s own Flexify Classic and well under Ninja’s and Breville’s larger ovens. Here’s where each one pulls ahead.

Is the Midea Flexify Pro Worth It?
It earns its place in a kitchen that air fries most weeknights and cares about what the cooking surface is made of. Think of a family of four rotating fries, wings and sheet-pan vegetables through one appliance that replaces both a toaster oven and a basket air fryer. If the enamel interior and the four-crust Pizza mode matter to you, and you can live with one wire rack in the box, the Pro is the better-equipped Flexify.
Look elsewhere in three cases. If you’d rather have two racks and don’t mind what the interior is made of, the Flexify Classic covers the same basic jobs; The Gadgeteer’s month or so with the Classic turned up only minor complaints (thin instructions, no clock on the display), though that finding is about the Classic, not this model. If you bake in standard 9×13 pans or want 13-inch pizzas, Breville’s Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is the step-up, with a 1-cubic-foot interior that Breville says fits most 9×13 pans and six independent quartz elements, at a real premium. And if counter space is tight, a basket air fryer like the Chefman 6 QT takes up far less room.
