My wife and I use an air fryer on average to cook dinner three to four times a week.
We were given our first one several years ago, it was a basket type. We used it so much within the first two years it starter falling apart. Because it was under warranty the company replaced it.
The new one did not last much longer so we ended up purchasing a better one. The new one is designed like a toaster oven but much bigger.
The new air fryer, our third is made is now starting to malfunction so we are now looking to replace this one.
Any ideas or recommendations would be helpful.

Thanks

UPDATE
For the heck of it my wife looked up how long of a warranty our current air fryer had on it. We had purchased it back in March of 2020.
When she looked it up it had a three year warranty(made it by one month) so she called the company. They said no problem and they are replacing it free of charge including the shipping cost.

Thanks everyone for your help

We were given the Emeril Lagase one from on TV as a Christmas gift.
No doubt, chicom. We use it mostly as an oven. It has worked pretty well and do not need to use the regular oven near as much. So far it is good. It is pretty versatile. We would of never bought it ourselves. But am a bit impressed to this point.

I love my 6Qt Ninja Foodi. I believe parabellum has one as well.

You never stated the make/model of the fryer(s) you've used. Being vague doesn't help when you're asking for assistance with recommendations.

I have been using my Instant Pot "system" for a while, almost daily. I picked up the air fryer lid secondhand and then picked up the 6 qt pressure cooker in Amazon Warehouse. A few accessories/racks for dehydration and eggs etc.

If you also pressure cook a lot it's worth a look.

Yea I kind of forgot that.

The old ones were Qvc specials and they were baskets style.
The one we are currently using is a toaster oven kind made by Cuisinart.

The one you are talking about is it the dual basket style?

I saw a flat one with a hinged lid on TV today. Don't remember the brand, though. It would not have the capacity of the toaster oven variety, but would be OK for baking or air frying, I guess.

My son gave his Mom one for her birthday this week . I guess it's the basket type . We have no idea what to do with it yet . I guess we'll have to do some research .

Single basket. Ninja offers a dual-basket, as well.

Checking the Ninja website, it looks like the model I'm using is no longer being produced.

We currently have an instapot vortex.

I like the window and light to check on cooking progress without losing heat. So far it seems to do the job.

We have a Ninja Foodi Smart XL Grill. We do our steaks in it and season them with Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasonings.

I don't own one, but from friends, chicken wings, french fries, tater tots, or anything you'd normally fry seem to be everyone's favorite things to use it for. I haven't gotten one yet because I'm lazy, cheap, and don't want another appliance.

Following as I too am looking at one but one a small one that does not take a lot of room. God Bless

I have an Emeril model. I think it's been said that it's okay as a small oven, air fryer not so much. My daughter has a Cuisinar(SP), and it's the real deal. She paid twice what I paid but it really does a job on every function you dial it to perform.

Ours is a Ninja “Dual Zone.” I don’t know if that’s what it’s called, or it’s capability, but it has two cooking “baskets” and can cook two different things, with different start times, so that both are done together, or using both, a larger amount of say french fries. It’s pretty handy.

Our Emeril has made some of the best cornbread you can imagine.

We have a Ninja, don't know the model but it hinges down flat to cook and hinges to vertical for storage under cabinet so when not in use it's out of the way with a small countertop footprint.

Ninja Foodi owner here, the dual basket model. Highly recommend it.

I have a Cosori as does most everyone I know. Some have large units; others smaller. We all swear by them. Excellent appliance that has been consistently highly rated among the best of the best!

Thank you everyone for the recommendation. The one we are currently using we got through a rewards program through my wife's job. Even though we did not pay for it when we looked it up on Cuisinarts website it was expensive. We would like something similar,a toaster oven style. we are open to your suggestions and recommendations and I am looking at some of the air fryers you have all recommended.
Once again thank you.

We have an Emeril 360 and seldom use our oven or fryer anymaore. My only complaint is the trays vibrate and makes noise sometimes.
