7 Best Gourmia Air Fryers for Every Kitchen Size

The GAF698 is the Gourmia we would buy for most kitchens. Wings are its standout: they come out crisp outside and juicy inside, and cook times drop noticeably compared with a full-size oven. The 6-qt basket holds a family dinner without stacking, though you must pull it out to check food because there is no window; thick cuts also need flipping halfway through.

Power is 1500 watts across a 90 to 400°F range, with 12 one-touch presets and guided prompts that tell you when to add food and when to turn it.

If you cook for two to four people, this is the one to get. Households that regularly cook for five or six will want more basket, and anyone weighing durability should read our problems section first. It usually costs under $80, but this older model is sometimes out of stock, so check the price before buying.

Step up a size and the first thing to know about the GAF778 is its heat. At 1700 watts it runs hotter than many recipes assume, so take about 20 degrees off or trim 4 to 5 minutes until you know it. The 7-qt basket holds about two pounds of fries in one go, and the edges and center brown at a similar rate.

Households of four to six are the audience; smaller kitchens should measure first. Pricing on this older model varies, so compare it against the GAF698 when you shop.

Where the GAF778 puts everything in one big basket, the dual-zone model splits the job in two. A whole chicken goes into one 5-quart side while potatoes and vegetables roast in the other, each on its own time and temperature. Smart Finish staggers the starts so both baskets land on the table together.

The catch is in the math. Each basket is only about two-thirds the size of a typical single-basket unit, so a large single item is tighter than the 10-qt total suggests. It runs on 1500 watts with 7 functions, tops out at 400°F and weighs 18 pounds.

Choose it when two dishes at two settings is how you cook most nights. Longevity is its weak spot: a handful of units stopped working within about four months, so a pricier Ninja dual-zone is the safer bet for years of daily use. List price is $99.99, and sale prices have ranged from about $80 to $113.

The GAF826 carries the biggest single-basket label in the lineup, but the 8-qt figure oversells it a little. Consumer Reports measured about 7.2 usable quarts once the crisper tray is in, which is still room for a family meal in one round, without hogging the counter the way the wide dual-basket body does. An audible prompt signals when to turn the food, and the nonstick basket washes up easily.

Behind the basket sit 1700 watts and 12 one-touch functions. The 8-quart Gourmia with a window is the separate GAF858.

Pick this one if you want one drawer for the whole family meal. Pass if you were counting on a true 8 quarts. It lists at $99.99, and deals regularly land well below that.

Going the other way from the 8-quart GAF826, the GAF486 shrinks everything down for one or two people. Lay parchment under a batch of tater tots and it needs magnets or a weight, or the airflow lifts it into the heating element. With the parchment held down, tater tots, tenders and egg rolls come out crisp in minutes after a quick preheat.

It runs on 1300 watts with a 90 to 400°F range and leaves no lingering smell. The manual lists 12 presets, but some units ship with 8, so the control panel you get may show fewer buttons.

Singles and couples are the right fit. The black coating can chip into food, so baby the basket with soft tools. It lists at $69.99, and past deals have sold it for about half that.

None of the baskets above can spin a chicken, which is why this oven makes the list. A 3 to 4 pound chicken on the spit at 360°F for 60 to 75 minutes comes out with crisp skin and self-basted meat. Confirm the thigh reads 165°F before you carve, per the USDA safe minimum internal temperatures.

Power climbs to 1750 watts in the 14-qt cavity, spread across 12 functions and a 90 to 400°F range. It runs hot, so cut recommended temperatures by 25 to 50 degrees. The exterior also gets very hot on cooks longer than about 10 minutes at 325°F and up, so keep it out from under cabinets.

It suits a kitchen with a permanent spot for a 15 by 13.5 by 16 inch box. Anyone who wants a simple basket should pass, since the door is stiff and some units die without warning or arrive dented. Stainless runs $119.99 and black $111.99, and both go on sale often.

The last pick trades the basket for a full countertop oven. The cavity fits a 13-inch pizza or two loaves of bread side by side, and one pull on the French doors swings both sides open. On a long bake the thinly insulated body heats the top, sides and front, enough to warm a small kitchen.

The 25-quart oven uses 1700 watts and offers twelve functions, including Toast, Slow Cook and Proof, with temperatures up to 450°F depending on the mode. It has 6 rack positions and dehydrates for up to 72 hours, but keep batches to a rack or two, because loading every rack cooks unevenly.

It earns its counter space only if it retires your toaster oven. As a daily workhorse it is the riskiest pick here: the convection fan is the weak point, and several units have quit at 4 to 6 months of daily use. The base price is $139.00, though some colors cost more and sale timing shifts it.
