I love my Breville. I use it every day and now only use my big oven for turkey and big things like that. It’s very easy to clean.

I forgot to add, if anything, using the convection/air frying mode in our Cuisinart was a mess because it would just spin all the grease/sauce wildly about and now the inside of our toaster oven is covered with speckles. The pod style air fryer is a dream to clean and almost mess-free. (can you tell I'm bitter about the amount we spent on the Cuisinart and now an air fryer pod convert? )

So we bought the expensive Cuisinart a few years back and the air frying capability is a joke. It's just a small oven, as any other toaster oven would be and for that, no one needs to spend $200+. To the extent that all air fryers rely on air circulation/convection, fine, it does that; but now that we bought a cheap "pod" type air fryer ($50 from Costco), we see the night and day difference. The actual air fryer device gets stuff brilliantly crispy and you see the grease filter thru below so the stuff stays crisp/not soggy.

Hi all. If you like your air fryer/oven combo can you recommend it please? I'm having a really hard time sorting out what is best, what works well, etc. I have a cheap Gourmia smaller-sized air fryer and it's too small to cook much, doesn't have a toaster oven, and it never lost that weird burning plastic smell that the manual assured me would be gone after the first use, lol.

I'm looking online at the Ninja Combi All-in-One, the Ninja 12-In-One, the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro, Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven, etc. But I just don't know what to do. And the cheap Gourmia thing I bought was such a failure that I'm a little gun shy and would appreciate advice from anyone with experience with one/some of these appliances.
