Gourmia - 8-Quart Digital Window Air Fryer

I have it, it's great and can be set to 450F where most top out at 400F, so a little more flexible. The basket is sized so that the pre-cut aluminum foil squares at Costco line it perfectly so that a great many foods can be cooked without needing to clean the basket itself that way. Downside is the alarm tone is very soft so you're not going to hear it across the house. I also have a dual basket Ninja which I thought would be useful but actually doesn't cook faster because in split mode the heating element is split between the zones, slowing both. The only air fryer that feels like an upgrade to me at this point is the Typhur Dome 2, and that simply because the basket is so very very wide. But I no longer need to cook batches large enough to justify that.

I just bought a 8qt gourmia with a see through window for $39 on a Walmart Black Friday deal. Seems good so far.

In the image above, it had the wires over heat and caused a plastic burning smell. It would not power on after that. We returned it and have not found a suitable replacement.

I think it's pretty average and a good deal at the price. The window gets dirty and I can't get it clean. Sometimes putting the drawer back in on the slots correctly takes more than one try. But it works well and has a good amount of features and mine has lasted about a year so far, no indication of it failing. It's a good deal and probably not the best air fryer, but unless you really want to study air frying techniques, it gets the job done and is pretty big for the price.

If you have a Costco membership, keep an eye out for the Gourmia 8-Quart Digital Air Fryer, wait for it to go on sale, I got mine for $45 or $50, I'd give it a 9/10.

I got a Gourmia 8 quart on sale from Walmart for $35. Works great and was cheap.

The window can be helpful at times. The fan on this is stronger than the smaller one I used to have so lighter things can sometimes blow around more - like a slice of cheese on a burger. The window lets me check to make sure the slice doesn't fly away before it melts enough to get attached to the burger. Also, I think this is the fryer that was on sale for like $39.99 or $45 last year. Maybe it will go on sale again, who knows.

gotta start somewhere buy it ... it will change your life.

Buy the gourma 8q from target when it drops below $60. Clean it after every use. If you use it a lot when it comes time to replace it go for the dome 2

Neither, get a basket style. Either go cheap with the gourmia 8qt for $50 or the typhur dome 2. I love both but I treat the gourmia as a throw away device.

Family of 5, large basket Gourmia, been using it practically daily for a few years now. Still works great.
