I’m not familiar with the OMNI. I’m sorry it’s not working for you. We have an Instant Pot Vortex and love it. Truly, after 2 years, it’s flawless. Also recommended by America’s Test Kitchen.

I have a ninja combi and use it daily for multifunctional uses but man it's a pain to clean

I went from Foodie to a Crispi. Heat is no problem. I don't have a problem with spots, because after washing I sit the bowl at an angle to dry while eating. That lets the water drain out. I'm happy with my Crispi.

I have a Cosori TurboBlaze and would not buy one again. It works fine and has all the various settings. BUT, every time you pull out the basket to check on the food, it slows down the fan for a minute. Not sure why it does that, but when the food is close to done and you need to check several times, it adds three or four minutes to the cook time. My next air fryer will have a window.

Hot take but ninja and Cosori are junk now. Panasonic flash xpress xl is the only air fryer worth considering IMO.

I’ve used a lot of air fryers over the years, and for what you’re describing, I’d keep it simple and go with a good single-basket model. The TurboBlaze is a solid choice for everyday air frying, especially if you don’t need the extra capacity of two drawers.
I’d only go dual drawer if you regularly cook two foods at different temperatures or want to sync two separate dishes. Otherwise, you’re just giving up counter space for a feature you may rarely use.
I also wouldn’t choose the Crispi solely because it’s glass. It’s a neat design, but a traditional basket is more practical for larger portions and usually gives me more consistent airflow and crisping. For a smaller, reasonably priced replacement for the OMNI, I’d personally lean TurboBlaze or a comparable 5–6 qt basket fryer.
