Count the functions you will use: 4 for the SIMPLETASTE, Instant Pot and Casimhu, 6 for the LIFEGETTER and 2 for the Huogary.
Froth versus heat capacity
Frothing capacity is smaller than heating capacity on the frothers that state both figures, so check the right figure.

Milk and cleaning
Whole milk with at least 3% fat gives the foam its body: the Casimhu, LIFEGETTER and Huogary all recommend whole milk above 3% fat. The Casimhu chills milk to 41°F to 50°F for thicker foam. For cleaning, the Instant Pot has parts that go in the dishwasher, while the SIMPLETASTE, Casimhu, LIFEGETTER and Huogary are hand wash only.
