Gourmia - 8-Quart Digital Window Air Fryer

We bought the Gourmia from Costco last year and it died just over a year later. My husband picked out the newest Gourmia with the window and light. It was on sale, but I really wanted to try something different. Hopefully this one lasts longer than a year.

\^ This I got at Costco- I have two of them, that's how much I love them. We order silicone liner for easy clean up.

Get the Costco one with a basket, its on sale right now $39.00

I've owned several air fryers over the years. I like the latest one, the Gourmia (on sale) with window and light. It is very handy to be able to see what's going on inside without opening the thing. It works well and is the best bang for the buck. My toaster oven also has an air-frying option, but it doesn't work quite as well and takes longer. Just make sure the air fryer basket is big enough to handle your needs; the Gourmia should be big enough.

Gourmia 8qt $40 from Costco is really a good air fryer and has a huge basket . I’ve own several other brands and this by far is best especially for its price

Costco has an 8qt. Gourmia that is $39.99 on sale. We love it! I use it almost every day.

This one has a basket or tray that pulls out with a handle. But it has a glass front and light so you can see your food while it's cooking.

Just ordered this today. Can’t beat an 8 quart for $35.

I got the Cuisinart TOA60 in 2018 and replaced it, literally today, with the Gourmia 8 qt. Obviously, the Cuisinart did pretty well lasting for 6 years and 3 moves so +1 for Cuisinart busied quality. I would say that it doesn’t necessarily run hot but it’s hard to gauge exact temperature since it’s a knob instead of a digital setting. I always just cooked things like chicken on the lower rack placement unless I was really trying to broil something. This is likely less of an issue w/ the TOA95 since it’s bigger but something to keep in mind. I would have replaced the 60 with the 95 but I honestly did not want to spend that much, lol. I Not the best toaster though it served its purpose as one. Overall, I loved the Cuisinart. It cooked things well and never had any issues with it but it is a PITA to clean.

I have the Gourmia 8 qt. I love it. It's a basket type. I've had both kinds and prefer the basket type. Easier to flip the food. Cleans up easily. Only cost $40 2 months ago at Costco. They have sold it at that price again and it's totally worth it.

I don’t know why they are so cheap but I have it. Got it at Costco 2 months ago for the same price and so far it’s the best one I’ve had. Almost totally aluminum on the walls and so easy to keep clean. It’s larger inside, holds more food at one time. Love the Reheat setting and the broil setting so much. It’s a winner.

Love ours! I made a whole chicken in there the other day and it was so delicious.

Bought this air fryer and it's dead literally after one use I tossed the receipt like an idiot and don't think I can return it

I got one last year for the same price during Walmarts black Friday deals, mine looks identical but is black instead and it's been great so far no issues.

I got this one and it died after 4 uses. I like it so I'm contacting Gourmia tomorrow for a replacement.

Those are solid machines. Costco sells them for between $40 and $50. I have the former model and it is a champ.

I'm late to this thread, but I just bought one a few days ago and altho it is MUCH bigger than I was expecting, it's been super easy to use. I've not noticed a delay on the touch screen at all, and it's quite light for its size. No idea where I will keep it, but it's allowed me to avoid wasting energy using my oven!

I have not. I will say, that for baking, it's not great. I need to play around more to figure it out because it's not cooking things in the middle properly. But that could be my error. No other complaints tho

I love the window and the built-in light. It also has much much better dehydrating settings if you are into that. The only downside is the touch interface seems a little slower. Otherwise big upgrade for me personally. Picked up a couple at my local Costco in central California, one for food and one for dehydrating 3d printer filament haha.

Just bought it. Love the second mesh rack. First to I did chicken on the bottom, frozen veggies on the top (placed in during the last 1/3 of cooking). So much better than my prior air fryer. Looking forward to trying dinner rolls and rhubarb crumble in it (with a small baking dish and ramekins in it).

Oh man. Just bought a Cusinart very much like this, only it was 119$. I love it, but would have bought this to try instead. This is so cheap, might pick it up anyway. It would be handy to have two on occasion! Edit: went ahead and purchased one. If it cooks as well as Cuisinart, the Cuisinart will go back.

If Costco member, they have a great gourmia 8 at air fryer. Nice to learn on and see how much you will use. 45ish bucks. If not a Costco member, I’d go low cost and try a bunch of things to see what you like what you use it for etc. I really like having glass baking dishes to cook. Easy cleaning. Still plenty crispy if you pre heat Good luck have fun!

They are hands down the best option at that price point. Had ours for almost 2 years and has been great.

Mine arrived couple of hours ago and am eating tilapia that i prepared in 10 mins on this thing. My first air fryer. For this money it’s surely worth the investment in my opinion

I needed to replace my non functional air fryer (safety sensor malfunction). Saw a HSN todays special that was more than I needed or wanted to pay $150. Started doing some searching and found this post. Thank you! $35 and free shipping. It arrived in 3 days and I have used it several times. Beyond the price I am really liking it. The grill insert is removable and seems adjustable to different heights with the silicone feet so you can put lighter things underneath it without worrying about them flying around, great for tortillas and dehydrating my fresh cayenne peppers. The basket is all one piece. My last air fryer had a basket inside the main basket and it became loose and eventually led to it not activating the safety sensor. 8 qt. is a nice size and the window and light are also nice features. Hopefully it will hold up over time but for $35 I was willing to take a chance, so far so good.

A liner would help with the cleaning. Don't use abrasives like a hard brush or scrub side of a sponge. Soak if needed and wipe with cloth or soft side of sponge. I have no experience with the oven styles but have seen others comment that they don't heat as well as these types of air fryers. Hope you got one before they sold out, I am more than pleased with my purchase.

I have the seven quart version from Costco that I bought for $39 6 months ago. I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately I dropped it while moving and broke it. So I picked this same eight quart one up today from Costco, and I'm seasoning it now. I hope it's as good as the previous one!

I did a 'first cook' with it yesterday and it did a good job, equivalent to the previous 7 qt Gourmia that I had. The larger size will be valuable, and the controls are a little more intuitive on the new 8 qt model. I had to wash the basket out and then run THREE separate 30 minute cycles at 450 to get rid of the plastic smell before trying to put food in it.

Yes, the smell was similar in the earlier Gourmia. It goes away completely after a while, but you wouldn't want to put food in it for the first couple of runs.

I ordered the peach one on the 11th. Must say I love it, it's huge and does work quite well. I ordered 2 more this morning, another peach and white one. Obviously don't need the other two, but such a good deal, keep them around for something. 😆

Its good. I like it so far.

Been using mine since this post and can say its one of the better ones I have owned so far.

Nice, I guess its new. Gonna have to call and ask around if they have any. Edit: None in San Diego County. Placed order online 🫠

I found this in my costco in La Quinta, CA was looking at the ninjas for a new apt and then saw this one and for the price I figured why not try it out. Haven't gotten to test it out just yet

I really love it, I can't compare it to a ninja since I never got one of those but this is so simple to use, the touch screen works really well, the heating is great I've used it for many different frozen style things and also reheating a few different leftovers like pizza. I also cooked some thin meat like a thin steak shaving and turned out really well. Cleaning it is so easy it's got a great non stick surface and even making bacon is easy to clean up after and te grate it comes with is really simple to clean and use to make the food a little closer to the heat. I would definitely recommend it since it's so cheap and this is actually my first air fryer so idk if I would ever get one so expensive when this works so well.

I bought the 7qt one originally in September of 2023 and just saw this at my Costco this past October (2024). I picked one up and will try it. It does seem to be better since it does have more surface area (less height, but thats fine) as well as individual adjustments for time and temperature. The window and light are also nice included features as well. TLDR; 8qt Gourmia >>> 7qt Gourmia

The gourmia that you got looks fantastic. I think you got quite the bargain. I use the broil, reheat, and keep warm settings on my cosori and it's really nice to have them. Let us know which one you ultimately choose and how you like it.

I have a gourmia that I got from Costco. It's good. My parents recently got a Phillips one that's a bit smaller but is much better.

You may be right. For additional context, the gourmia one I have was bought and I use it in the US. The phillips one my parents got and use is purchased from India.
