Summary
Reddit users loved it so much they bought a second one — at ~$84 it punches well above its price. Wirecutter ranks it just behind the Ninja Pro for crispness.
At $35 on Costco sale, this 8-qt basket outperforms expensive oven-style air fryers according to real owners. Best-in-class value for large-capacity cooking.

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.
