My first air fryer was some off brand that died after a couple years. I currently have a ninja dual zone through Costco that I love

We have a Ninja brand and really like it. I’d research them and get one rated safe from the teflon coatings etc… to make it healthier.

I had a cosori (edit, I thought it was a ninja but corrected it) basket one. It was ok but it was recalled due to some catching on fire. The replacement they sent also has safety issues and melted the outlet behind it.

I’ve had this one for a year and I love it. Much more versatile than the basket type air fryer. It is basically a miniature oven that can do other things, such as air fry and rotisserie and is large enough to do a DiGiorno size frozen pizza. I hardly ever use my oven now unless I'm cooking a very big dish. This thing is more efficient and heats up super fast if you are baking.

I have this one too. the only complaint is that the baskets are not big enough for something like a small microwave pizza. It will do wings like a pro.

i have a cuisines like 7 in one thing and it’s awesome.

Toasts
Air fries
Toaster oven
Convention over
it’s got setting i’ve never used.

but i would recommend not getting any kind that has the round basket. i like the tray kind.

I hate our Kalorik (or something like that, from Costco), do not recommend. I'm excited about the prospect of this one don't so I can get another. Already replaced twice under warranty but they said they won't do it a 3rd time.

I think you need to decide if you want the 'toaster oven" look or the basket look.

I have a ninja like a couple of the other posters. No real complaints. I did the toaster oven approach so I can see the food as it's cooking. It preheats in 90 seconds which is nice

We have a Powerxl 7 qt egg shape Air fryer at work that has been going strong for about 6 years. Gets used more then once a day. It is just a air fryer and works great. I have one of the oven looking ones at home and it works good with multiple options for how to cook but doesn't air fry as good.

I've had a cosori (sp?) for about 3 years now and am ready to upgrade. Wife and I use probably 3 days out of the week for protein and veggies.

I haven't had any issues with this one, but cleaning the basket sucks. Instead of flat surface with holes, the sides are slot vented and it makes cleaning difficult.

Toaster oven look. That Emeril is tempting.

We have a Instant Pot - Vortex and swear by it. It's not the basket type, comes with 2 trays and a cage. The cage hooks to a rotisserie so food gets tumbled and thoroughly. Here's what they look like.

Instant Pot - Vortex. Winner at Cook's Illustrated, and what I bought. Get the model with the window so you can check on the food without opening the drawer.

I bought one from WalMart for Black Friday. It has 3 racks, with the fan on top. It's so Powerful it can float a slice of toast and make it spin.

The Emeril on Amazon was a good deal. Saw it at Sam's tonight for $179
