Our verdict on each
Chefman
Chefman suits households that want air frying and coffee from the same maker, and the entry basket is the draw: air fryers start at $49.99 and coffee machines at $34.99. The trade-off is depth, since the coffee side stays with espresso and drip and sales run to US and CA.
Coolblue Belgium
Coolblue Belgium suits Belgian households that want one local shop for robot vacuums, air treatment and security cameras, with a 30-day returns window behind every purchase. It suits buyers who value breadth, local delivery and in-country support over a narrow range or a subscription-based plan.

Pros and cons
Chefman
Pros
- Air fryers start at $49.99 and coffee machines at $34.99, so the entry basket stays cheap across the range.
- The multifunctional air fryer runs 17 programs and ranks 8 of 60 brands, the one measure where Chefman sits near the front.
- The espresso machine packs a 15 bar pump, a dual boiler, a steam wand and a grinder built in, all within the $499.99 flagship.
Cons
- The coffee side is espresso and drip only, so a shopper after pod or bean-to-cup work ends up reading a different brand's page.
- Capacity ranks 17 of 69 brands at 9.46 litres, so basket size is mid-table rather than the reason to buy.
- Sales run to US and CA only, so buyers outside those markets order without a local warranty route.
Coolblue Belgium
Pros
- The camera listing covers recording to microSD card, a base station or a hard drive without a subscription, plus app live view and motion alerts, and local storage is offered.
- Support runs on email, chat and phone, and a spare parts shop keeps brushes, filters and mop pads orderable after purchase.
- Floor care spans robot vacuum, stick and handheld, so a robot vacuum can be bought alongside a stick or handheld vacuum in the same order.
Cons
- Floor care stops at robot vacuum, stick and handheld, so a buyer who wants an upright or wet-dry vacuum has to shop elsewhere.
- The app carries no energy reporting, so household energy use has to be measured elsewhere.
- A hub is required before bridges speak zigbee and wi fi, so smart home buyers pay for extra hardware before the first device goes in.
Who each suits
Chefman
Who it suits
- First-time air fryer buyers who want 17 programs in the basket machine rather than a plain fryer.
- Espresso drinkers after a grinder, a steam wand and a dual boiler in one machine, in a range that starts at $34.99.
- Shoppers in US and CA who want a desk on email and phone and a 1 year warranty behind the purchase.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants multicooker and processor work in one machine, since GASTROBACK reaches air fryer, multicooker and blender where Chefman's air fryer and blender stop at fryers and blenders.
- Pressure-cooking buyers, since Chef iQ is built around multicooker only.
- Shoppers who want stand mixers and food processors as well, since Daewoo Electricals adds air fryer, blender and stand mixer to a comparable small appliance line.
Coolblue Belgium
Who it suits
- Belgian households replacing a vacuum or a purifier who want delivery, returns and support handled by one local operation.
- Camera buyers who want recording to microSD card, a base station or a hard drive without a subscription.
- Shoppers whose floor care shortlist is robot vacuum, stick or handheld, the types this range covers.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who want upright or wet-dry vacuums, since floor care here covers robot vacuum, stick and handheld only.
- Shoppers outside Belgium, since Coolblue Belgium delivers only to Belgian addresses.

Questions about each
Chefman
How much does a Chefman air fryer cost?+
Chefman air fryers start at $49.99. The reference line covers a compact fryer alongside a multifunctional digital model, so the entry point sits well below the $499.99 top of the coffee range. Check the current listing price for the exact model before you commit.
What does the top of the coffee range cost?+
The flagship coffee machine is $499.99 and the entry coffee machine is $34.99. That spread is the usual pattern for a range that opens with drip and filter models and ends on the espresso machine carrying a dual boiler and a steam wand.
Coolblue Belgium
What does the cheapest robot vacuum cost at Coolblue Belgium?+
The lowest robot vacuum price is €199, and the top of the range is €1,199. Reference models are named at each end of the list, so the gap between the two prices buys hardware rather than a subscription. Neither figure renews after the purchase.
Is the flagship robot vacuum worth more than the entry model?+
The step up from entry at €199 buys a self empty dock, Lidar mapping and a mop pad that lifts 10.5 mm, on a machine that pulls 42,000 Pa and stands 8.9 cm tall. Buyers who already know they want a dock and a mop lift should go straight to the flagship.
