Many kitchen gadgets overlap. A convection microwave can bake and grill, an OTG bakes better but can't reheat in a minute, and an air fryer is the quickest way to crisp food with little oil. Pick by what you cook most often, then by size: 20 litres is enough for reheating, 25 to 30 litres for baking.
For chimneys, match the suction to your kitchen and your cooking; heavy Indian frying needs more than the minimum. Mixer grinders and induction cooktops are simpler buys, where wattage, jar quality and local service matter most.
