Welcome back to Reviews Inside TV, the channel where we get real about the gadgets that claim to make our lives easier—or at least tastier. If you’ve ever wondered whether one appliance can handle crispy fries, juicy wings, baked salmon, and reheated pizza without turning your kitchen into a grease pit, well, today’s review might just pique your interest. We’re taking a close look at the Gourmia Air Fryer Oven—specifically the GAF536 model with a 5-quart capacity, 12 cooking presets, and a digital display that wants to make your countertop feel a little smarter.
This model blends functionality with sleek aesthetics—black housing, stainless steel accents, and a digital touch interface that suggests it’s ready to cook with precision. At 1500 watts, it’s powerful enough to promise faster cook times, and its XL basket means you’re not limited to tiny batches. You’ve got 12 one-touch presets covering everything from fries and wings to fish, bacon, and baked goods. Gourmia also boasts their FryForce 360° technology, which they claim removes up to 90% of fat while locking in flavor. That’s a strong pitch for anyone looking to cook healthier without sacrificing crunch. And the cleanup? Every removable piece is dishwasher safe. That alone will catch the attention of folks tired of scrubbing caked-on grease. But does it actually live up to these promises in everyday use?
Setting it up was pretty straightforward—out of the box, plug in, wash the accessories, and you’re ready to go. The control panel lights up clearly with touch-sensitive buttons. No clunky dials or awkward menus. For testing, I ran it through a few real-world scenarios: a bag of frozen fries straight from the freezer, homemade chicken thighs with minimal oil, reheated leftover pizza, and even a small batch of cookies using the bake preset. The fries came out evenly golden with a noticeable crunch, and the chicken had a crisped-up skin that you’d expect from an oven—not an oily skillet. That said, the bake function was a mixed bag. Cookies browned faster than expected on the bottom, suggesting the top heating element doesn’t engage as evenly for baking tasks. Reheating pizza, however, was a win—it didn’t turn rubbery like in the microwave.
There’s a lot to like here. The presets make it easy for beginners who don’t want to think about temperature and time. The digital interface is clean and responsive, and the size is perfect for a couple or small family. The basket slides in and out smoothly and feels solid—no flimsy build. But it’s not without a few quirks. First off, it runs a bit louder than some competing models. Not jet engine loud, but if you’re sensitive to kitchen noise, it’s noticeable. Also, the interior coating, while nonstick, can scratch easily if you’re not careful with utensils. And depending on your counter height, the back ventilation can get warm enough to need some spacing—so don’t tuck it too close to the wall.

Now, let’s talk money. This Gourmia model typically hovers around the $80 to $100 mark. For what it offers—12 presets, 1500 watts of power, a solid build, and easy cleanup—it does justify its price. Comparable models like the Ninja AF101 come in with fewer presets at a similar price point but often with smaller capacity. Then there’s the COSORI Pro LE, which has slightly better temperature control and quieter operation, but you might pay a bit more for the name. So Gourmia slots into the value category well—it’s not undercutting the competition drastically, but it’s delivering enough to feel worth the cost, especially for those prioritizing ease of use and preset convenience.
When you compare this to the Instant Vortex Plus, which offers a dual-layer cooking tray and rotisserie function, you begin to see where the GAF536 might fall short for power users. That said, the Gourmia holds its own by delivering on the basics without overwhelming you with functions you might never use. If simplicity, countertop space, and solid preset performance matter to you, this one holds an edge.
The build itself is sturdy for its price. The drawer has a smooth, confident slide. The handle is cool-touch, and the unit feels like it can withstand regular, even daily use. While long-term durability tests haven’t been fully conclusive due to the model being relatively new, Gourmia’s reputation in the air fryer space is solid. They’re consistently among top-selling brands in the US, and customer feedback generally praises the longevity of their products. Based on their past models and overall brand track record, I’d say this one should last through daily cooking cycles for at least a few years with proper care.
Now, I haven’t had a reason to call customer service for this model, but Gourmia does offer a 1-year comprehensive international warranty. That’s not industry-leading, but it’s good peace of mind. The company’s reputation for support is mixed depending on where you look—some users report quick responses, others less so. But for most, the warranty will cover typical early-use issues if anything crops up.
So here’s where we land. The Gourmia GAF536 isn’t trying to be the fanciest air fryer on the block. It’s not about rotisserie spits, dual baskets, or voice control. What it does do is take a core set of cooking tasks—frying, baking, reheating—and streamline them with one-touch presets in a sturdy package that doesn’t overcomplicate your life. It hits the mark for convenience-focused users who want results without fiddling around with timers and temps. It’s not silent, and baking enthusiasts may find its performance a bit uneven in that category. But as an everyday countertop appliance for the average household, it holds up—and in a sea of air fryers, that’s no small feat.
