Gourmia - Digital French Door Air Fryer Toaster Oven

yes! I feel the air fryer is a lot more "safe" than dealing with a "toaster" ........that literally only has 1 purpose...."to toast" lol.......my air fryer can bake, toast, make popcorn (the screened bottom flips upside down and the 🌽 lays on the solid metal "baking pan"? I think is what my Gourmia calls it. we love ours. I've even dehydrated various meats overnight in it too. so many "appliances" in 1

we use our "french door" gourmia wayyy more than our huge oven that runs 220v? I wanna say it is....and heats up the whole house. Our air fryer we keep out on our porch so it doesn't heat up the house crazy during the heat wave. we love it. Just gotta realize, an air fryer is merely a convection oven. an oven with a fan in the back/side LOL. These "induction ovens" used to be popular in the 70s and 80s dad was saying........they were just stupid heavy cause of the heavy fan in the back of the oven to circulate the oven heat. now the ovens fit on the counter top lol. we love ours, we've ditched our countertop toaster too....and it sits in the old spot of our old 4 slice toaster.

I have a Gourmia I got at Costco for about a hundred bucks on sale. It's been doing a very good job for a couple of years now. I've found that if I place a spatter guard/screen over things that do spatter it prevents the spray from getting on the interior. It's important to clean away anything that does get on interior surfaces before using the oven again or it becomes permanent. I picked up a spatter guard for a frying pan from Walmart and cut the handle off so it would fit inside.

The basket style is better as a "pure" air fryer than the oven but it can be made to produce good results by adjusting the time and temp. The versatility of the french door Gourmia compensates for what it lacks in the air fryer mode. Lacking infinite counter space, I'm satisfied with the compromise.

Double door gourmia at Costco. Love it and cook almost every day

Power xl was good, now we have a gourmia double door. So many more uses, its from costco. Like an oven also

Project Farm just dropped a comparison video this afternoon. [I’ve Never Seen An Air Fryer This Good!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qxs9CkM20Dg) 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.

The air fryer works well for me. It’s not large on the inside so certain things may be too large for it. French fries though would be perfect. Since it’s small it preheats and cooks very quickly. The dehydrator works well on it too and it even makes decent toast. I’d buy it again

I have the ninja foodie and a giurmia oven type fryer. Gourimia is for everyday. Foodie is for pressure cooking and when I need more things air fried. Had the foodie first Gen also. Ninja makes great air fryers, blenders not so much.
