Our take
When a Reddit user buys the same appliance twice, that's the strongest endorsement possible. The TurboBlaze delivers near-top-tier performance at a price that makes doubling up make sense.
If you're feeding a family and don't want to overthink it, the Gourmia 8-qt is the rare appliance that overdelivers at an almost absurdly low price.
