Air Fryer Recommendation
Posted on 8/27/26 at 11:35 am

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on an air fryer. I'd like something that takes up minimal counter space. We're cooking for 2 people most of the time. And something that is not high end priced, in case the Mrs hates it and it gets religated to a closet somewhere, like the instapot. Whatcha got?

What makes that top one “Self-Cleaning”?

The Amazon listing says:

I guess basically that makes most every cooking vessel I own self-cleaning.

My wife bought a Gourmia Air Fryer a couple years ago and she loves it.
The unit is just over 12 x 12 inches on the outside and had a 9 1/4 x 9 1/4 interior for product. She uses it for making Buffalo Wings, Jalapeno Poppers, Fries and other snack type food that is fried.
Everything comes out good as far as I'm concerned and pretty easy to clean with the drawer easily removed and the bottom tray that keeps food slightly raised off the bottom of the drawer.
I didn't find a model number on it but did look on Amazon and see where a similar one is under $60. If only cooking for 2, that one will suffice.

Ok. I'm going to be that guy. Nothing you cook will EVER look like something cooked in an air fryer on a youtube video. Not saying it doesn't work great for some recipes but the youtube air fryer folks are 100% setting it up to look like it is cooked in the air fryer, removing it, cooking in oil, then putting back in the air fryer. Nobody can convince me otherwise.

Just go get a $60 air fryer. They're all decent.

Air fryers are good, really good, for certain things.
How often do you:
Eat chicken wings?
Eat frozen tater tots / frozen fries?
Reheat previously fried food?

I use my air fryer all the time for stuff....never for anything that requires a recipe....I would venture to say most folks dont either. But they are great for heating up frozen snack items, pizza, small servings of things like bacon or sausage, chicken wings...much faster and crisper than using an oven.

They all do the same thing, but what you’re looking for is one that’s easy to clean and doesn’t make your whole house smell like Burger King every time you use it.
We have the Vortex and it does a good job

I can’t recommend this one enough and it’s under $100 right now. It’s so nice being able to have a glass to see the food cooking and not have to interrupt the cooking process to get a peek.

of these reviews of your air fryers, is this your original one that you're stuck with? are these unadulterated reviews with multiple cooking appliances?

Looking for a glass basket air fryer. Want to get away from the “non-stick”.

On our second Cosori and love that thing. It’s our go to for roasted potatos, bacon, vegetables, and salmon. And the usuals: reheating pizza, and any fried food.
