A household count is a starting point, not a serving guarantee. Decide whether you need one portion, several identical portions, or a main and side at the same time. Then check the actual basket floor, divided-zone space or tray layout. A large pressure pot does not establish a large frying basket.
One person or a side dish
A small single basket can be convenient when the food fits in one uncrowded layer. If it requires two batches for your normal meal, the saved counter space comes with a serving-time trade-off. Check fixed-temperature mini models against the flexibility you need.
Two people with different food
Independent zones can help when one person wants different ingredients or a main and side need different programmes. A removable divider and a stack of racks are different arrangements: count the controlled zones rather than the number of food positions.
Family meals and batch cooking
For several portions, check the space available per drawer and whether you need a wide roasting area. Speedi and Combi support specific layered meals, while pressure Foodi models serve a different recipe workflow. Use matching recipes and allow for preparation, steam build-up and serving.
Shared kitchens, allergies and access
Separate drawers can help organise foods but do not establish an allergen-free appliance. Also consider the weight of hot drawers/glass, access to the controls, sink space and where each hot cooking part can rest safely.
