As the title suggest, I'm already using 4L basket-style air fryer for assortment of things, based on usage type:

  1. heating up food - 60%
  2. experimenting food like cookies and small cakes - 40%

My experience with basket-style is, although my current one is working fine, following are the things I am looking forward to upgrade:

  1. Bigger area to cook more food at a time. Also want to use bigger molds etc so that I can cook a bigger portion size like bread which lasts 3-4 days instead of 1-2 days. Mostly I will be making bread.
  2. Since smaller area, so many times I touched the sides of basket which was hot. Also taking in/out utensils from the hot basket is another challenge which doesn't seem to be an issue in oven-style.

What I don't want in my upgrade:

  1. Getting an OTG. They are big and I want smaller footprint on kitchen counter as I have too many other devices chilling at counter and serving their purpose.
  2. Huge capacity as my 4L one is sufficient for my meal portion and the sweet spot for me is 12-15 liter.
  3. I don't make food which needs shaking like potato wedges/fries etc.
  4. Rotisserie etc. fancy features aren't useful for me.

Currently looking at following options:

  1. PHILIPS Air Fryer NA231 (basket-style)
  2. Instant Vortex Plus 6L Air Fryer (basket-style)
  3. INALSA Aero crisp 12L (oven-style)
  4. Glen 12L Air Fryer Oven

I'm still stuck with the which one should I go with. So anyone who can guide or specifically upgraded from basket-style to oven-style and want to share their experience will be very helpful. Thank you.
