If you haven’t settled on an air fryer yet, check out the Ninja Foodi - it “stands upright “ when not in use if they don’t have much counter space. Got myself & DDIL one for Christmas last year. Works good and being upright is a nice option.
I'll mention that to DD. She said they were thinking of one that was also a toaster oven, to replace their current toaster oven. She mentioned that they have little counter space, but plenty of cabinet space. I want them to pick the air fryer, they know what they need. I might also get her a hand mixer for her occasional baking--that could fit easily in a cupboard. I can upgrade to a stand mizer when they have more space (could be never--they live outside Boston, I don't think they'll have a large living space for a LONG time).
love our pasta attachment and meat grinder (i buy pork when it's on sale and we grind it up to season for italian and other varsities of bulk sausage-much less expensive).
I wouldn't use the pasta maker, because I have a hand-crank one, and don't use it often enough to upgrade. I do have the spiralizer attachments, which include a peeler/corer/slicer--perfect for making pies or apple crisp, this time of year. I was eyeing the fancier bowls, but they run ~$100 a pop--not worth it, when I already have both a stainless and a glass bowl. I really don't need a third bowl, no matter how pretty (and I'm cheap!).
I have a white mixer--it's ~25 years old, my MIL (now departed) gave it to me for Christmas ages ago. Sometimes I drool over the beautiful color choices they have these days, but really--there's nothing wrong with the one I have.
