Counter top Air Fryers - Recommendations Needed!

[daisylu]

So, our toaster oven is on its last leg and I am looking to replace it with something that does it all. I have the first generation type air fryer with the large basket, but it is hassle to sue when trying to cook more than 1 thing at a time. Plus this will eliminate an extra appliance in the kitchen.

I am looking for something that kind of does it all:

air frying - will be used a lot
rotisserie - will be used 1-2x/month most likely
bake
broil
toast -will be used daily 

So far, this is the leader link - but would love to hear suggestions, or other uses that I have not thought of.

With the kids doing their own cooking most of the time, something countertop size would be ideal for DH and I. No need to heat up big oven for just the 2 of us.

With the use that I am expecting to get out of it, I would be willing to go as high as $500.

We have this. Best thing I ever bought. We rarely use the big oven.  It does not rotisserie sorry...

The one you link looks nice. By a coincidence, I was just looking at a combo microwave/air fryer in the December flyer for Sam's Club. It probably doesn't do everything you want it to do, though.

I did see something similar during 1 of my many searches, but did not really look at one. Something else to check out!

[Happy prose]

My husband wants one. I have a perfectly good toaster oven, so can't see buying one at this point. I've never had food made in one. Is it basically a toaster oven with a fan?

I do like that first one for ease of use. DH would definitely prefer knobs or buttons over choosing settings (fry, toast, bake, etc) from digital display.

I'm just not sure about the temp time being on the same knob?

Not a recommendation, but has anyone had a small appliance made by Galanz. I think this is the one I believe I saw at Walmart.

That one in the first link is just like mine, but a different label on it. We picked it up at Sam's Club and love It! We seldom use the big oven now. It heats up in about 2 minutes and cooks everything in half the time without burning at all.

The rotisserie can cook up a delicious stuffed pork tenderloin in about 10 minutes.

I've got a little retro microwave. It's really cute lol. Now I want one of the refrigerators for a spare.

So I just saw an ad for one on the TV. It was a combo so it did more than just air frying. And it was the size of those toaster ovens so I think better cooking wise than the small ones that are like 8 inches diameter. The coolest part was built in was something so you lifted it up and instead of taking up all the countertop space it only took up like 6" or so because it stood it up right.

Of course I have no idea what brand it was.

I bought a Ninja Foodie 5 in 1 about a month ago.  It grills, air fries, roasts, bakes, dehydrates.  Grilling steaks is awesome, I'm roasting my turkey breast in it tomorrow, and air frying is really good.  

I then bought a small 4 slice toaster oven from Target for $25.  

The foodie stays on the counter, and the toaster oven is small enough that it can be put in the pantry/cupboard, etc.  The toaster oven is used a lot, but very light weight and portable.  It sits on a smaller island I have.
