Any recs. Thanks.

Get a Ninja Foodi...it's an all in one slow cooker, pressure cooker, air fryer, dehydrator, steamer.
We got one a few months ago. It's badass.

What will you use it for?
If I were doing it, I'd get a breville smartoven.

I looked at the ninja foodi, just seemed like it wasnt that big of a time saver with the way you had to let it build up pressure, then cook, then depressurize... and it didnt hold that much.

Probably air fry, toast, and broil mostly.
Getting french fries, wings, etc crisp quickly.
If it's a toaster oven I could see using it alot instead of putting stuff in the oven. Reheating pizza, making garlic bread, etc.

I have a cuisinart air fryer/toaster combo and I love it. Works really well for wings, reheating food in general, etc. Roast pecans/walnuts/cashews in it all the time for small batch butters. 4.5/5, would recommend. -.5 due to size... wish it was a little bit bigger.

Breville Smart Oven (with the convection fan) or the air fryer version of the same is a super versatile tool. I use mine daily (non air fryer version, but the convection fan provides pretty much the same results). The Smart Oven is sized for a quarter sheet pan, 12" round pan, and other standard sized baking trays/pans. If you have a small household, it is faster & more efficient to cook for two in a Smart Oven, as opposed to heating up a larger oven.
I bake single layer cakes, muffins, loaf quick breads, heat up frozen foods, roast potatoes & veggies, make toast, quesadillas, etc. Used it this AM to heat frozen protein waffles.
If it broke today, I'd have a new one by tomorrow.

Have you baked cookies? My SO "made cookies" (i.e., put premade dough in the air fryer on the bake setting 
) and they cooked super quickly. I'm about to start making some holiday cookies in the next few weeks so I'm curious how it'll work compared to the oven.

I got the 8 quart, which is more than enough room. I've been extremely happy with the Ninja Foodi. Also, saves storage room by not having to store separate slow cooker, pressure cooker, etc.

To clarify: I have a Breville Smart oven, not the air fryer version. Yes, I have baked cookies, many, many times. Exactly six drop-type cookies will fit on a quarter sheet pan...three for each person in my household. (Enforced portion control) You can scoop and freeze cookie dough, then take out a few at a time to bake.
I don't use the convection fan for pastries/bread/cookies, as I don't want rapid spreading or over browning--which is what a convection fan promotes. Or turn it on for a short time at the end of baking, if something needs a darker color quickly.
