We've had it for about 4 years. We love it. I even bake sourdough bread in a Dutch oven in it. It will toast bread and bagels, but we still use a toaster for that because it's a lot faster. Someone mentioned cleaning the inside of the glass doors. We use Easy Off - yellow cap and then wipe down with a wet cloth.
I got this one from Costco
Gourmia XL 45 Quart Digital Countertop Oven with Air Fry and Temperature Probe
Its on sale for like 130 right now. Heats up quick and can do whatever you need
Literally just bought this two days ago but have used it about 5 times already. Seems extremely convenient and is pretty user friendly. Also saw many positive reviews online so I’m excited to have it be a kitchen staple. It is massive though, so will take up a lot of counter space.
We have this one from Costco and it’s the best I’ve found so far! The bonus is if anything happens and you don’t like it or it has issues, Costco has a generous return policy unlike other retailers.

I LOVE this machine. I lived in a place with a pretty underwhelming “big” oven and this had enough capacity to make a whole baked dinner for 2 people (4 portions total). The model we have includes the temperature probe and the few times I’ve used it worked great.
My biggest complain is that it is kind of hard to clean the grease splatters off the doors. That might just be a me problem and maybe I need to try a harsher chemical than just dish soap+scrubbing.
I have had this Gourmia for a few years now. Usually use it twice a day so its proven to be durable. Takes a little longer to get the same results as a basket style fryer but it's so much more versatile.
The experience with my Gourmia compared to the basket style fryer it replace has been if I set the temp 5-10 degrees higher and give it a couple minutes longer the results are satisfactory though not quite as "fried", if that makes sense.
Forgot to add that I did a little monitoring with the temperature probe on mine and discovered that the preheat cycle would end before actually reaching the temperature selected, by about 30-50 degrees depending on the target temp. It would then hit the proper temp fairly quickly but I'm sure that's part of the reason for the results I'm seeing.
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.
