I have tried various brands and I prefer ninja. I treated myself to one of the vertical stacked double basket ones recently and love how little space it takes. Technology Connections on YouTube does a good video on the different styles and concludes that the basket style performed better than the toaster oven style.
Can’t say I’ve tried any others but I’ve never had any issues with my Ninja. I have the one that’s stacked instead of side by side to save counter space and I love it. Only complaint is the cord is a bit short.
I got that stacked Ninja and ended up giving it away and buying a traditional bucket style instead.
The heat elements in this come from the back, not the top. This creates a few problems like juicy stuff getting the back dirty and spilling, not being able to properly “shake the basket” since the holes are on the back.
Each basket is also pretty small, might work for you but did not for me.
Another slightly annoying thing is that it also wont stop cooking automatically if you remove the basket, you need to press the “stop” button.
And it also has bo preheat timer. Meaning if you want to preheat it you need to do it the old school way and just guess when its ready.
