Our verdict on each
GASTROBACK
GASTROBACK suits cooks in Germany and Austria who want air fryers and coffee from the same seller, with espresso machines starting at €89. The trade-off is range depth: the flagship Design Espressomaschine Advanced Urban Duo costs €699.99 and the catalogue stays inside DE and AT.
ZWILLING
ZWILLING suits cooks who want a single well-known kitchen name to cover both an air-fryer and a blender, without chasing a multicooker line. Pricing starts at €9.95 and support runs on email, phone and help centre, with a spare parts shop open. Buyers wanting preset-heavy, app-linked cooking should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons
GASTROBACK
Pros
- Espresso, drip and grinder models sit under the same brand, per espresso, drip and grinder, so a whole coffee corner is covered.
- The flagship espresso machine has a built-in grinder, a steam wand and a thermoblock boiler, covering beans and milk drinks in the same body.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, and a spare parts shop keeps replacement parts on the same storefront as the machines.
Cons
- The flagship espresso machine costs €699.99, far above the site median of €492.95.
- Capsule drinkers get nothing here, since the pod system is none.
- Shipping covers DE and AT only, so buyers elsewhere face a cross-border order.
ZWILLING
Pros
- Entry pricing sits at €9.95, which ranks well for price from in the air-fryer and multicooker group.
- Dishwasher safe parts are listed as yes, so cleanup does not depend on hand washing.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so a question can go to a person as well as a self-service page.
Cons
- The air-fryer offers 4 litres of basket space, ranking 52 of 69 brands on capacity.
- Programs number 6, short of the group median of 9.5, so preset-led cooks get a thin list.
- A multicooker is not among the listed air fryer and blender, where GASTROBACK and Chef iQ both offer it.
Who each suits
GASTROBACK
Who it suits
- Buyers in DE and AT who want air fryers and espresso from the same store, with a spare parts shop behind the machines.
- Coffee drinkers who want a built-in grinder, a steam wand and a thermoblock boiler, where Chef iq covers multicooker alone.
- Shoppers who want blenders and stand mixers alongside the fryers, a mix closer to Daewoo Electricals and Arno, both listing air fryer, blender and stand mixer.
Who should look elsewhere
- Capsule drinkers, since the flagship's pod system is none.
- Shoppers outside DE and AT, who may find a nearer fit in Arno or Daewoo Electricals, both listing air fryer, blender and stand mixer.
- Households chasing the largest basket, since air fryer capacity ranks 24 of 69.
ZWILLING
Who it suits
- Home cooks who want a household name for air-frying and blending under one brand.
- Readers who prefer buying outright and value a spare parts shop, which ZWILLING lists as yes.
- People who want a dishwasher safe basket, listed as yes, to cut down on hand washing.
Who should look elsewhere
- Cooks who want a multicooker, since the range covers air fryer and blender only, and GASTROBACK and Chef iQ list it.
- Buyers chasing a deep preset list, because programs number 6 against a higher group median.
- Readers who need a large basket, since capacity is 4 litres and ranks well down the capacity table.

Questions about each
GASTROBACK
What does a coffee machine cost at GASTROBACK?+
Coffee machines start at €89 for the espresso range, with drip and grinder models listed in espresso, drip and grinder alongside it. The flagship Design Espressomaschine Advanced Urban Duo costs €699.99, so the distance between the cheapest machine and the top of the range is wide, and buyers should decide early which end they need.
Where does GASTROBACK deliver?+
Shipping terms cover DE and AT, so a German or Austrian buyer is served directly from the store. Service and support come from the same base in Germany, so questions and warranty queries stay with the seller rather than a third party.
ZWILLING
What does ZWILLING charge for its kitchen appliances?+
The listed entry price is €9.95, and that figure covers the whole kitchen appliance range rather than the air-fryer basket alone. Buyers shopping only for a fryer should treat it as the floor of the range, not the fryer price. Higher-end stand mixers in the range sit well above it.
How big is the ZWILLING air-fryer basket?+
The listed air-fryer holds 4 litres, which is a compact basket rather than a family-sized one. On capacity it ranks 52 of 69 brands in this group. Cooks feeding larger households will be looking further up the same table.
