Costco gets ahead of Black Friday with this appliance your kitchen is begging for and costs $45

Signs are starting to appear that Black Friday is no longer limited to just one day. Major retailers are launching deals early, surprising those looking to upgrade their kitchen without spending too much. Costco, as usual, is once again making a move before anyone else in the United States.

This time, they're doing so with an air fryer that seems to have become the favorite of thousands of users. It's a device that's easy to use, practical for everyday life, and has a price that's drawing significant attention. It's no coincidence that many consumers consider it an essential purchase.

The popularity of air fryers has grown unstoppably in recent years. This type of device allows you to cook in a cleaner way and with less oil. In addition, they're perfect for those who want speed without giving up good results.

But not all options on the market offer the same capacity or the same features. That's why this Gourmia model stands out so much among searches, especially now that Costco has set it at a price that's hard to ignore. It's generating unexpected interest even before the typical November discount rush.

A complete, large air fryer with interior lighting

The Gourmia 8-Quart Digital Air Fryer with Window & Light comes with features that fit almost any type of kitchen. Its 8 qt. (7.6 L) capacity allows you to prepare generous portions, ideal for families or for cooking several servings effortlessly. This makes it a useful tool for those who take advantage of the weekend to prepare meals for the week.

A very striking feature is that it includes a window with interior light, which makes it easier to see the cooking progress without needing to open the drawer. This detail saves time, keeps heat better, and avoids unnecessary interruptions. Many buyers especially value this function because it makes the experience more comfortable.

The appliance also includes various cooking modes, among them Air Fry, Bake, Broil, Dehydrate, Keep Warm, Reheat, and Roast. Thanks to these options, the fryer adapts to both quick recipes and more elaborate preparations. It's a versatile piece of equipment that simplifies daily cooking without complications.

In addition, its rating backs it up: 4.6 out of 5 based on 1,997 reviews, a sign of satisfaction among those who've already put it to the test. The number of ratings shows that this isn't a niche product, but rather a consolidated success.

A price that exceeds expectations before Black Friday

Costco has decided to place this air fryer at a competitive level. Its price of just $44.99 is one of the factors that's generating the most surprise among customers. For a device of this size, with interior lighting and multiple functions, it's an offer that's hard to match.

The model, identified as GAF858, uses 1,700 W, enough to ensure quick cooking without raising energy consumption too much. Its dimensions—15.8 in. (40.1 cm) deep, 11.7 in. (29.7 cm) high, and 11.6 in. (29.5 cm) long—make it an appliance that fits comfortably on most countertops.

Even the 2 ft. (61 cm) cord is designed to make installation easier in small kitchens. These are details that, added to the price, explain why so many people are adding it to their cart before the best deals of the month begin.
