We like our Ninja French Door Premier. It is the oven type. It was $200. Not BIFL, if it lasts 5-6 years I will be satisfied.
I have this we love it!
What exactly can be unhealthy about cooking in the airfryer? Are they scared of the microwave as well lol? I have Ninja 10 in 1 multicooker that I bought on sale and it’s fantastic, I can air fry, bake, steam bake, slow cook, dehydrate and it has a couple of other functions too but mostly similar to what I mentioned. I don’t use it often but if I want to quickly roast something it gets the job done (and it doesn’t heat up the kitchen, baked bread in the oven today and fire alarm went off lol). I even baked bread it in once but admittedly the crust didn’t came out very crispy although bread was baked. Made soup even although it’s not intended for it. But if you have a big family oven is better or you would have to buy a huge air fryer.
I have the ninja foodie and it’s a 10 in 1. Bake, air fry and toast and pressure cook are the main functions I use. I just started to use the dehydrator, kinda neat
After reading your post, I wouldn't get a standard air fryer. I also have a tiny kitchen and since I don't air fry every day, it was mostly in the way. However...I did get a Ninja Foodi 10-in-1 which is a bit larger buuut I use it almost daily, especially in the summer, for preparing some aspect of our meals, if not a complete meal. It's not always faster at cooking say French fries, but it preheats faster and contains the heat. Whereas my stove, oven, and previously owned countertop convection toaster oven that was also not used enough and therefore in the way, both radiate so much heat into the space which is great in winter but so extra costly in the summer. That said, I use my Ninja Foodi happily in the winter too when it doesn't make sense to use the oven due to portion size. I have slow cooked with it but prefer to use the pressure cooker in most cases. I also braise, broil, boil, roast, pan fry, air fry, and you could make rice with it but I would be a failed Asian if I didn't have a proper several hundred dollar rice cooker with all the bells and whistles. The only feature I have not used because I haven't taken the time to get myself educated about how to go forward is the sous vide function. I hear it takes a long time so it's not of particular interest to me at this time. I've had ours for almost a year and a half now. I fucken love it.
I love my ninja foodi. It's a 10-in-1. Little above your budget, but it's super worth it. Pressure cooker, sous vide, air fry, crock, all sorts of things.
The Ninja foodi 10-in-1! Its a pressure cooker, slow cooker, air fryer, bake/broil, dehydrator, so many different functions. I've had the pot for ~7 years and the grill for about 3. I reach for the pot more often, and theres a ton of accessories. Pot: https://www.walmart.com/ip/918898489 Grill: https://www.walmart.com/ip/540984234
I have the basic Gourmia with the window, I find it a very good air fryer. I also own the Ninja 10-in-1 oven that includes an air fryer option, but it does not air-fry as well as the Gourmia. This Gourmia has really gone up in price since last year, but does go on sale from time to time. TIP: Costco now sells air-fryer parchment paper to help with any messy foods. Please do not put it in the air fryer until after the pre-heat, and make sure to secure it carefully with food in each of the corners. The first time I put it in duing pre-heat, and it exploded into flames. Quite frightening, but no harm came of it except a moment of terror. A pack of about 150 is $10.00.
