Looking to buy a new Air Fryer. Don't mind spending up to $150 because we use it a lot. What do you guys have and how do you like it? Looking to go the non-toxic route if possible.

Insta pot vortex. We use it more than the microwave.

We got a Ninja from Costco for Christmas and it’s worked out well so far. Made pizzas last night. $150. Tips upright for better storage.

I have a Cuisinart multi-function that includes air frying. More capacity than the basket-style and I can do more with it. Some of their models are less than $150.

We have the Ninja with the two side-by-side drawers and also got a couple for our office. We love them!

We have a Bella. Door opens from the side. Racks instead of basket. Works great.

ETA: Also comes with rotisserie hardware.

The ninja indoor grill is legit. It has air frying capabilities and no shite, once you get good at it, you can make restaurant quality steaks.

My Cuisinart oven may be the best thing I have ever purchased for my kitchen.

Ive had this one for 5 years.
That rotisserie basket is very underrated. Use it often

It depends on what you want. The two main types of air fryers are your basket kind and your large ones that look like a toaster oven (but do a lot more than that). I've had both. I prefer the large ones that have the option for a rotisserie. They aren't just an air fryer. It's also an oven, broiler, rotisserie, and other functions. It's way more efficient than an oven and I can make some meals in it for 4 people, and not even have to heat up the large oven. It heats up almost instantly too. And you have multiple trays you can put in at one time so you can cook different things.

The basket types work well, and may have more capacity to do some larger batches, but only the top layer really get the convection heat.

This is what I have. $170 on amazon.

ninja foodie xl its a air fryer and grill. We had this one and my wife killed it by trying to clean it in the sink. She got water in it. .

She wanted the ninja toaster type to replace it. I like the toaster version but its not near the air fryer as the foodie xl.

We have one of the cheaper Instapot varieties and we love it. Have had it 2 years and use it regularly. Holds up well and is very, very versatile.

We had a Pro XL that we were very happy with. Because my son loved it so much I let him take it to college and we replaced with a Ninja. I hate the Ninja so much. First, the fan is way too powerful and blows the food all over. Good luck melting cheese on anything. You'll find it plastered to the side. Second, even on the lowest temp, frozen biscuits are too done on the outside.
