The instant pot vortex one is quite on sale right now and works well. I would also get a small microwave if you do lots of little things that require that.

I like the instapot vortex. We have a single basket as it's just the 3 of us. I would get double if you have a bigger family

I’ve had both: a really fancy Cuisinart and a much cheaper and better basket-style one from Instant Pot. The Instant Pot one is simpler. You set time and temp, it preheats, beeps when it’s time to put the food in, beeps when it’s time to flip it, and beeps when it’s done. It simple and I burn things less often.

we have the ninja side by side. it works fine. you can operate both sides as one, if you want. and you can set both sides to finish at the same time if they have different settings. i don't like that you have to manually pause it if you don't want hot air just blowing out when you open a basket and it doesn't have a reminder to flip like our single basket Instant Vortex does.

Kettle: Xiaomi We've had ours for 2 years, used everyday. No issues. Airfryer: Instantpot Vortex Used regularly for months now, works great. I like the oven style and tray vs basket style because easier to clean. I just pop the trays in a dishwasher along with the dishes. It also automatically preheats and dings to remind you the preheating is done.

I have two. A Instantpot Vortex and a Dreo ChefMaker. I only turn the oven on now for Turkeys and Pizzas.

Flips up to save space, but shallow and air fries poorly.
