bella has really good options for you. I personally have their 4qt slim air fryer and the compartment shape is unique and fits a lot. The air fryer itself is also really slim and pretty so it fits nicely on my limited counter space. They have a 6qt if you want something bigger!
It's magic. When we remodeled our tiny condo kitchen we invested in a suite of GE "Profile" Electric Range, GE "Profile" Microwave Oven, plus a countertop Galanz Toaster Oven. We were excited as each unit featured "Air Fryer" capabilities. After experimenting, I wasn't impressed with the advertised "quick browning, crisping or frying features" of either of them. We were gifted a compact and light [4qt Bella Air Fryer](https://a.co/d/fnkw1Nz). We had a heavy Pro 6qt Kitchen Aid Mixer, Bunn Coffee Maker and a compact DeLonghi Espresso machine. on the counter. I was skeptical since I didn't want more appliances cluttering the countertop. After reading the very simple instructions, I tried making rice flour-coated French Fries from raw potatoes. It was good as roasted potatoes, but not the crispy, crispy fries as touted. But pretty good for what it is, low fat, crispy enough and convenient. (You'll really need to store a $7 bag of frozen pre-fried fries to mimic crispy fries, or reheat leftover fries.) However, the rapid fan response, easy to clean and program unit was very good when preparing proteins. Steaks, chicken, sausages, vegetables, custards, and reheating anything works well. Now, if I'm simply cooking for 2-4, I'll exclusively use the Air Fryer instead of any of the others.
I have tried a multi-cooker and a basket style, and prefer the latter. It cooks more evenly and crisper. Also important, conventional thinking is to avoid teflon. Ceramic, glass, and stainless are your options - mine is a small ceramic basket style and we love it. (Bella)
It's not terrible but just a little for you can get the Bella Ceramic one and it's so much better and easier to clean
