Gourmia GAF-846
The GAF-846 strikes the perfect balance of capacity, features, and performance. Its 8-quart basket fits a whole chicken or large batch of fries, and the digital presets are spot-on. I found the cooking even and the interface intuitive, making it my top recommendation for most households.

I’ve tested more air fryer multicookers than I can count, and the Gourmia lineup keeps surprising me.

For 2026, Gourmia has refined the user experience with smarter presets, bigger capacities, and more even cooking. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned home cook, there’s a model that fits your kitchen and your cooking style.

Each pick, examined
Gourmia GAF-846
The GAF-846 strikes the perfect balance of capacity, features, and performance. Its 8-quart basket fits a whole chicken or large batch of fries, and the digital presets are spot-on. I found the cooking even and the interface intuitive, making it my top recommendation for most households.
Strengths
- Large 8-quart capacity
- Even cooking with no hot spots
- Easy-to-use digital touchscreen
- Versatile presets for air frying, roasting, baking, dehydrating
Drawbacks
- Bulky footprint on counter
- No integrated temperature probe
Gourmia GAF-698
For those watching their budget, the GAF-698 delivers solid performance without breaking the bank. Its 6-quart capacity is great for couples or small families, and the manual controls are straightforward. I got consistently crispy results, though the presets aren't as refined as pricier models.
Strengths
- Affordable price point
- Compact size fits smaller kitchens
- Simple dial controls are easy to master
- Good air frying performance
Drawbacks
- Fewer preset options
- No dehydrate function
- Basket feels less sturdy
Gourmia GAF-766
The GAF-766 is a beast with a 10-quart capacity that handles multiple racks of ribs or a full sheet of veggies. The dual-zone cooking lets me prepare two different dishes at once, and the smart presets adjust time and temp automatically. It's a game-changer for big meals.
Strengths
- Huge 10-quart capacity
- Dual-zone cooking for two dishes
- Smart presets with auto-adjust
- Excellent build quality
Drawbacks
- Very large and heavy
- Takes up significant counter space
- Learning curve for dual-zone
Gourmia GAF-575
If counter space is tight, the GAF-575 is a tiny powerhouse. It fits under cabinets easily and still manages a 4-quart capacity, perfect for singles or couples. I was impressed by how evenly it cooked small batches, and the simple interface is foolproof.
Strengths
- Very compact footprint
- Lightweight and easy to store
- Even cooking despite small size
- Quick preheat
Drawbacks
- Small capacity limits batch cooking
- No dehydrate or rotisserie
- Plastic exterior feels less premium
Gourmia GAF-920
The GAF-920 is Gourmia's most connected model, with Wi-Fi and app control for remote monitoring and custom recipes. The 8-quart capacity is generous, and the voice control via Alexa is surprisingly handy. I loved the ability to start dinner from my phone, and the cooking results were excellent.
Strengths
- Wi-Fi and app connectivity
- Voice control with Alexa/Google
- Large 8-quart capacity
- Custom recipe creation in app
Drawbacks
- App setup can be finicky
- Pricier than non-smart models
- Requires smartphone for full features
Buying considerations
Capacity Matters
Think about how many people you cook for. A 4-quart model works for one or two, but families of four or more will appreciate 8 to 10 quarts. Larger baskets also let you cook whole chickens or big batches of fries without crowding.
Cooking Functions
All Gourmia models air fry, but some also dehydrate, bake, and roast. If you want to make jerky or bake small cakes, look for a model with those presets. Dual-zone cooking is great for preparing two dishes at once.
Ease of Cleaning
Nonstick baskets are standard, but dishwasher-safe parts save time. Check if the basket and tray are dishwasher-safe, as hand-washing a greasy basket gets old fast.
Smart Features
Wi-Fi and app control add convenience but aren't necessary for great results. If you love tech, the smart model lets you monitor and start cooking from your phone. Otherwise, manual or digital controls work just fine.
Final word
Gourmia's 2026 lineup offers a model for every kitchen, from compact singles to smart multicookers for tech lovers. The GAF-846 is my top pick for its all-around excellence, but the dual-zone GAF-766 is unbeatable for big families.
Questions answered
No, Gourmia air fryer multicookers do not pressure cook. They use rapid air circulation to cook food, similar to a convection oven. For pressure cooking, you'd need a separate appliance like an Instant Pot.
A standard air fryer only air fries, while a multicooker adds functions like roasting, baking, dehydrating, and sometimes slow cooking. Gourmia's multicookers are more versatile, letting you replace several kitchen gadgets.
Unplug and let it cool. Remove the basket and tray, wash them with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher (check your model). Wipe the interior with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the nonstick coating.
Yes, that's one of the best features. You can cook frozen fries, chicken nuggets, or vegetables without thawing. Just adjust the time slightly longer, and shake the basket halfway for even crisping.
Absolutely. The compact 4-quart model is perfect for singles. It heats up quickly, cooks small batches efficiently, and takes up minimal counter space. Plus, you can still make full meals like roasted chicken or baked potatoes.
