The Gourmia GAF956 is a 9-Qt side-by-side dual basket air fryer with two independent 4.5-Qt baskets. Gourmia gives it Smart Finish, Match Cook, 7 one-touch functions, a Preheat option and a Turn Food reminder. Amazon lists it at 15.75" deep, 14.21" wide and 12.6" tall, and Gourmia lists it at about 17 lbs. Buy it if you cook for two to four people and want a main and a side done at the same time. Skip it if you want a viewing window, an app or a narrow stacked design.
Best for: Couples and families of up to four who want two equal baskets for a protein and a side, plus extras like dehydrate and keep warm, on a footprint about 14 inches wide.
Skip it if: You batch cook for a bigger family or want a narrow stacked design. The Gourmia 10-Qt dual basket has two 5-Qt baskets, and the stacked Elite Gourmet EAF6535 fits 10.5 Qt into a body about 11 inches wide.

Each basket is 4.5 quarts, so think of it as two medium air fryers rather than one large one. That is ideal for chicken in one basket and vegetables in the other, but a whole chicken will not fit in a single basket. The two power figures (1700W on Amazon, 1600W on Gourmia's shop) mean you should plug it into its own outlet rather than share a circuit with a kettle or microwave. There is no viewing window, app or built-in thermometer listed, so keep an instant-read thermometer handy, and leave space around the vents while it runs.
The two 4.5-Qt baskets are a natural fit for a protein plus a side. Try our new air fryer turkey meatballs in one basket and roasted vegetables in the other, then press Smart Finish. Or browse all of our easy air fryer recipes.
It is Gourmia's 9-quart dual basket digital air fryer with two independent 4.5-Qt baskets. It has 7 one-touch functions (Air Fry, Bake, Roast, Broil, Dehydrate, Reheat and Keep Warm), Smart Finish, Match Cook, a Preheat option and a Turn Food reminder.
Each basket holds 4.5 quarts, for 9 quarts total. That is a little more than the 4-Qt baskets on an 8-Qt model and a little less than the 5-Qt baskets on Gourmia's 10-Qt dual basket model.
Amazon lists it at 15.75 inches deep, 14.21 inches wide and 12.6 inches tall, and Gourmia lists the weight at about 17 lbs. At 12.6 inches tall it fits under most upper cabinets.
Smart Finish lets you cook two foods with different functions, times and temperatures and syncs them so both baskets finish together. Match Cook copies the settings across both baskets so you can cook one large 9-Qt batch.
Yes. Gourmia says the nonstick baskets and crisper trays are dishwasher safe. Hand-washing will help the nonstick coating last longer.
Get the GAF956 if two 4.5-Qt baskets are enough for your household. The Gourmia 10-Qt dual basket has two 5-Qt baskets for bigger batches with the same Smart Finish and Match Cook features.
