Got one for Christmas from a close family friend. Didn't think much about it, so daughter and tried it out and made our own French fries....HOLY COW BATMAN...those were the BOMB!!! Just cut the potatoes and put in a bowl, a little olive oil and some salt, mixed it all up and cooked them. They were so good. Wanting to try some chicken and other stuff, but curious....who else has one and uses it?
Air Fryer....whose got'em?

Wife ordered one and returned it. We didn't like the taste of food coming out of it.
we love ours. Does bacon real nice
My aunt (the one with the dead Nissan CVT) has the Big Boss Air Fryer and swears by it. She's on her second bulb in it now and it's great, that said I never bought one.
nah I cant cheat on my skillets.
FYI: If you have a convection oven, you already have an air fryer...
As a single guy that rarely cooks, it's a godsend. I can do everything the oven does without the price tag of heating it up. About the only thing I use it for now is frozen pizza.
I bought the most basic air fryer I could find and I love it. Made chicken strips last night, took 7 minutes from drop to ding.

I have a counter top convection oven, probably 15? years old, use it exclusively for baking, anything that would go in to an oven, chicken, pies, vegetables, pork chops, steaks. Do I need an air fryer?
After I got to looking at the inards......it's nothing but an electric stove top coil with a big fan on top to blow that heat down. Very similar to a fan forced oven. However, it takes half the time to use as an oven and heats up way quicker.
My daughter has one. You would have to pry it out of her cold dead hands.

Same with any other "Fancy" cooking method
most people grow up on bland food so when they make something "decent" in their slow cooker/air fryer their taste buds explode.
Some Crock pot dishes do come out great some times but others just "Ok".
[censored] I even made sous vided Ropa Veja, cooked it for 24hr using a super popular online recipe that everyone raves about... but, my moms Ropa Veja which she cooks in a pot destroys it without even using MSG
(Ribeyes/steaks are amazing Sous vide tho
)

Had one and wasn't impressed. It took up too much space for a small benefit. Got a Wolf convection oven and love it. Much more versatile
