@EmmaKelley I don't get the appeal... What's good in it?
@mattmaison adding a strong fan to a heating element makes things more crispy than using an oven. I’ve never liked homemade fries or onion rings until using this.
And, in general, because they are smaller, they work fast...our oven has a convection fan, but it's huge for a pan of fries. We had an air fryer/toaster oven, but just the two of us, we barely used it.
We use a toaster oven for convection cooking and it's smaller than the air fryers I've seen. We don't really cook fries and so far that's the only thing people really say they use it for.
