What Air Fryer Brand would you Recommend?

I have decided to do away with the George Foreman grill and get an air fryer.  

I want easy to clean basket style.

What do you like about yours?

What brand do you have?

I ended up going with the ninja that looks like a toaster oven.  It's less quick and efficient as an air fryer, but it replaces most of the reasons we put the oven on.  We can easily cook a small roast and veg for two with leftovers in the oven.  

The other deciding factor was the basket is stainless steel and can go in the dishwasher or be cleaned with a cloth and very hot water.  There are roasting trays that come with it that have coating,  but are optional to use.

I have the Ninja Foodi and I have no issues with it. I purchased it because of its ability to 'flip' and stand up on my counter to take up less counterspace when not in use. It cleans up well and keeps on putting out food.

I'm another one sold on the oven type. Like R Ranson says, I don't really use my "big" oven anymore (less gas, and the electric bill hasn't budged with the air fryer being used every single day).

We picked up a used Gourmi at an auction for $6. We are super happy with it. I had low expectations but it is great for small batches of stuff.
We can heat up any baked or fried food to just like fresh, very quickly and with little power. It holds enough to feed the 3 of us.
I now slightly undercook my big batches of berry scones and freeze them. Then they can go in for 10 mins from the freezer and be perfect with a bit of surface crisp, anytime we want them.

Anne -

We had a Cuisinart, bought from Costco to replace an aging Black+Decker toaster oven.  Functionally, it was very good - except that the segmented LED display went on the fritz.  Some segments of the time and temperature display would illuminate or go dark, seemingly randomly, making it nearly impossible to suss out what the thing was set to, or how much time remained (and whether it was time to flip over whatever might have been cooking).  Of course, it was possible to set another timer, but the temperature setting was difficult to work around.

None of my favorite appliance parts houses had anything listed for that model.  Similar models from Cuisinart, produced contemporaneously, had a different display.  In the end, we deep-sixed it (well, recycled), which was a crying shame, but it seemed to be entirely irreparable due to lack of parts.

We have a different one now, a gift from our daughter and son-in-law, but I haven't used it enough to be able to say whether it is a good one.  It also has a fancy digital LED screen.  All else being equal, I would have been happy with something that only had analog dials.  Of course, my truck has crank windows and reach-across door locks, and is a stick shift.  Simpler is better, mostly.

My wife thinks I threw away the old ratty Black+Decker toaster oven which was replaced by the Cuisinart.  That one only had a toast function (with a light-dark control) and a temperature setting.  But, I didn't throw it away - I hid it in the cab of my "woods truck" - out of sight, out of mind.  I'm going to take it out to our lake property, and put it in the little storage/toilet shed I built last fall.  It still works - it's just small and a bit ragged and cosmetically challenged, at 30-ish years old.  But, I'm sure it's still got some life in it.  When I get something better in the shed (micro thermal mass heater and kitchen end heater combo), then the toaster oven may get converted into a small shop oven (bake powder coat, warm up parts for press fits, etc.).

So, no recommendations for anything, but I am currently quite gun shy of the fancy digital display models.

I got the oven style for Christmas a few year back.  That was the end of my convection oven (that I loved) because that oven style took its place.  

It went out and the store gave me a store credit that I was not able to use due to covid.

I finally found a toaster oven that I liked the price of and have been happy ever since.

I only have space now to put the basket style air fryer where George foreman lives.  That spot is too small for the oven style air fryer.

Maybe it would be good to just stick with George Foreman?

I just thought I might give the air fryer another chance , I dont know ...

I am countertop poor ...

Like Timothy, we have the Ninja foodie, but the XL. We don't use a conventional oven because it does so well (and we do not have one). We can make 2 loafs of bread at a time or roast a whole large chicken or make a bunch of baked potatoes. It also makes a decent pizza.

I thought I would share my cute little air fryer:
