Gourmia - Panorama 7-QT Digital Air Fryer

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

Never tried the vortex but my 7qt gourmia cooks at the same speed as my Ninja 11qt Megazone

I have the 7qt Gourmia from Costco. I'm happy with it. This newer/larger one has a window, which should come in handy.

I bought the 7 quart Gourmia air fryer from Costco. It works great but isn’t big enough for my family of five and I was sick of cooking in batches like a short order cook. That said, I do think Costco does a decent job vetting brands overall.  When I came across [this air fryer comparison spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Y4PR6GCz-Lk5mWX1LUzo-3kChRBv302vSv5HZFB5K1c/edit?gid=1554522955#gid=1554522955) on Reddit, I was happy to see that Gourmia actually has tons of options. I ended up GTF7460 because the kicker for me was that it can fit a 12-inch freezer pizza. I like that my teen son can make himself a late-night snack without heating up my whole house with the oven.

I bought the older 7 quart a couple years ago at Costco when it was on sale for the same price and it broke within a year. When I went to return it at Costco, the return guy told me his broke within a couple months as well. He mentioned that I’m not the first person that he accepted a return on those air fryers. I personally wouldn’t recommend it, but maybe they improve the design on these air fryers or my Costco just got a bad batch of them.

I have a Gourmia 7-qt one and a little tiny Phillips. Both are excellent, but I hated the larger Phillips one I tried. Go figure. This is in Canada - Indian models may be very different!

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.

Double French doors Gourmia stainless steel all digital air fryer oven from Walmart (around $150). I received a compliment on how fancy it was by a guest only 2-3 weeks after I received it as a gift from my son. Cooks beautifully,  I've been impressed. So far I have cooked frozen pizzas, garlic bread (fresh and frozen), toast, bagels, refrigerated rolls, muffins, corn dogs, bacon, sausage patties, ribs, chicken strips and fries, frozen lasagna, breakfast casserole, hash browns and some other frozen foods all were perfect. The rolls look like they would in an ad for perfect rolls the pizza was not soggy nor crispy, very nice texture. The easiest bacon and sausage too, I cooked them in the basket with roasting pan below to catch grease. The oven and the accessories are special coated and the clean up was so easy. Also, it is super fast cooking. Sometimes it seems even quicker than a microwave would cook and so much better.  Anyways I obviously love mine so I highly recommend it! 

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.
