Gourmia - 6qt Digital Air Fryer Black GAF686

I’m over the moon about my Gourmia air fryer! It’s a wonderful piece of equipment. So easy to use and easy to clean. (But I highly recommend using paper liners in the basket. Total game changer!) The air fryer was a total impulse buy at Walmart. They had them placed in a high visibility area by the entrance of the store. I was casually looking at them, and a Walmart employee saw me looking and said she had the same one and loved it.  Gourmia model GAF686

I mostly agree. It depends a little bit on intended use. My friend has the "toaster oven" style and she likes it quite well. But she mainly uses it for toast and sometimes fish sticks. I have a six quart Gourma basket style and for my use I prefer what I have to what she has. I agree with at least 6 quart. I live alone and it still is not too big. Big enough for most things I need it for but hardly overkill. Being able to remove the basket to wash it is a big plus IMO. My friend can remove the bottom catch tray and rack, but when you pull out a basket you have the bottom and sides - everything but the top. Easy to drain / wipe out any oil and then wash it in the sink. It also heats up pretty quickly. But if I was doing lots of "spread out" type cooking - French fries, fish sticks, things you would put on a baking sheet in a conventional oven - then I'd probably prefer the toaster oven style.

I just got my first air fryer after wanting one for years. I decided on the Gourmia 6qt that was on sale at Walmart for 59.99. Absolutely love it and have used it every day except one since getting it this month.

I have the last model that doesn't have a glass door on sale for $40. I like it a lot.

If you’re asking if you need to get another air fryer, the answer is likely yes. We have 2, the same single basket Gourmia you were referring to, and an oven style one as well. We use them for different things, but I’m definitely happy we have both.

I used to have the Cusinart one from Costco (older model with more knobs), and it was good at toasting and being an oven, but barely average at being an air fryer. Had to replace it once right at the 2 year warranty mark since the knobs went bad, and then again about 18 months after. I have the Gourmia basket one now, and it's solid as an air fryer, decent as an oven, but pretty hard to get toasting done right. What do you need as the the primary usage? If it's primarily air frying, keep going for the basket. If you need it for multi-purpose with toasting, etc. get a non-basket.
