Project Farm just dropped a comparison video this afternoon.

Bear in mind that the French-door style cook slightly different than the basket style. IMO the basket style does a better job of crisping food than the door style does. Probably due to some heat escaping through the gap. My Gourmia is French-door style and does a great job of various types of cooking. As far as a flat-out air fryer, the basket style seem to crisp better but have limited capacity. Depends on what you value more. Flexible ways of cooking or pure air frying with a potentially smaller capacity.

I just picked up a Gourmia French door oven from Kohl's for $85. Technically it's an air fryer oven, but it toasts pretty good too. So far we made bagels, dehydrated some venison jerky, and reheated a steak.
Honestly I kinda regret getting that Gourmet french door air fryer over this one, not that it's bad, but it takes up too much space, my poor lil kitchen
I like the Gourmia front opening oven style with the racks. But that's just me. I don't care for the pot style as you can't see what you are cooking, it doesn't have good airflow, and it's harder to clean. Again, that's based on what I cook and how I like things done.
Ninja is overpriced, and most units all use the same fan/heating element components.
I do have a second air fryer that is a pot style I use outside when doing fish so the house doesn't stink up. I think I paid $20 for it new, but I see them at yard sales all the time for $5. They are the entry level ones with the dial on the front.

Dual zones for smart cooking, but baskets are small.
