Best Gourmia XL Air Fryers: Ovens and Baskets Compared

This is the biggest and most versatile oven in the Gourmia lineup, and fries come out golden and crisp with little oil while wings get a crackly skin with a juicy inside. The dehydrate and proof modes work better than we expected, and the oven is roomy enough for a cast iron skillet.

The single-pull doors open together and close with a firm magnetic snap, with no rattle or wobble. They let a bit of heat out when opened mid-cook, so keep a hand clear of the opening when you reach for a hot tray. A full tray of wings finishes in just under 25 minutes, golden and evenly crisped, and the fan is steady but you can still talk over it.

The oven runs 1700W with 12 cooking functions, a 90F to 450F range and 6 rack positions. The 37 qt figure is the manufacturer's rated capacity, and the same oven has also been sold under a 25 qt label. In practice it fits a 13-inch pizza, a whole chicken and nine slices of toast, and it cooks nuggets, potatoes and burritos quickly and crisply. It is sized best for two people, so a family of seven should plan on two batches.

Browning improves if you give the oven an extra 3 to 5 minutes after the ready beep. Since the outside gets very hot and we saw temperature inconsistencies, rotate trays halfway through. Durability is the weak point, and some units die within weeks, and the air fan can fail around four months in.

Where the French Door oven roasts a bird on a tray, the 14-Qt spits it. The rotisserie spit hooks up in seconds and a 4 to 5 pound chicken fits comfortably. At 360F a rotisserie chicken takes 60 to 75 minutes, and the skin crisps and the juices baste the meat.

It runs 1750W, offers 12 functions and tops out at 400F. Fries need 12 to 18 minutes at 400F in a single layer, and browning is uneven unless you rotate the racks. The oven can hold two or three layers of frozen food on separate racks and fits a 12-inch frozen pizza. Usable space feels smaller than the 14 qt label because air needs room to move.

The rotisserie motor is quiet, while the convection fan is on par with other countertop ovens, and the door glass gets warm. The oven smells of plastic for the first couple of uses. Reliability is a concern: some units stop mid-cycle or fail to power on after weeks or months, and glass doors can crack. The front door seam also traps food debris. On some counters the oven also tips forward when the door opens, and the door-closed sensor can be finicky.

After two ovens that need real counter space, the 8-Qt is the XL basket for anyone who does not want an oven on the counter. The basket fits a family meal and a big tray, cooks evenly and heats quickly. The screen tells you when to preheat and when to add the food, which makes it easy for older kids to run on their own.

It handles a large family meal in one batch, but it is single layer only, so a big load must be spread flat or cooked in rounds. The controls are simple enough to run without the manual, so an older kid can operate it.

At 13 x 13 x 14 inches, it is far smaller than the ovens. It runs 1700W, has 12 one-touch functions and a 400F ceiling, and its basket is sized for four to six people. It cooked faster and crispier than another 1700W air fryer we compared it to, and it has a quiet fan and a clear LED screen. There is no small rack for a second layer, and the grate is awkward to seat in the basket. Reliability is the weak point. Heating elements can fail within weeks, and some units quit around the six-month mark.

Unlike the single 8-Qt basket, this model splits the work. Both sides run independently with separate time and temperature, so steak and vegetables can finish together. Smart Finish syncs the two baskets to end at the same moment, and Match Cook copies settings across them.

A main in one basket and a side in the other can cook at different settings at once, which beats waiting on a second round. For a family-size dinner each basket is on the small side, so a big family needs both baskets full.

Each basket is about two-thirds the size of an older single 5.5 to 6 qt basket, yet one basket still fits a whole chicken. The unit is bigger than it looks and takes real counter space. With 7 one-touch functions and no confirmed wattage or dimensions, measure your counter first. It takes longer than you expect to preheat and cook, and the nonstick baskets rinse clean without needing the dishwasher. A handle can arrive broken, so check yours on day one.
