Air Fryer or Air Fryer Convection Toaster Oven?

.

Per usual, stumped 🤦‍♀️ & bewildered 🤷‍♂️ by mountains 🏔⛰🌋 of types of Air Fryers & Air Fryer Convection Toaster Ovens*. 😯

Oy vey! 🤦‍♂️

And, equally stumped 😳 & bewildered 🥺 by variety of online opinions 🗣 💬💬💬 / reviews about each! 😲

[Analysis paralysis 📊 😵 ( en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ana... ) — information/ opinion overload ( en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inf... ) . 🤯 ]

.

🤪 🤣 🙃

.

Anyone have actual hands-on ✋🤚 experience with either or both of these ‘new-fangled’ ☺️ appliances? 🤔

Would appreciate hearing your experience/ opinion. 🙏 😌

.

Have been looking for an "air fryer" device that meets these criteria:

. . . 1️⃣ Large 🐋 capacity. (For example, can make LOTs of sweet potato 🍠 & 🥔 ‘fries’ in one go.)

. . . 2️⃣ Long lived ♾ & long warranty 📜 . (These appliances are pricey 💰😳 , so would hope 🤞🤞 to get years of trouble-free use.)

. . . 3️⃣ Quiet 🤫 (as possible) 🙉 . [Needn’t awaken the sleeping 🛌 😴 💤 (nor the dead 💀 ) when device is ‘on’ 🔆 .]

. . . 4️⃣ Easy to clean 🧼 🧽 as reasonable. (The easier to clean 🛁 & maintain 🛠 , the better. 👍👍 )

.

[I know it’s asking a lot, but a person can dream . . . 😌 💭 🌈 🦄 . . . ] 😁

.

Or, is this merely yet another, short-lived ‘fad’ 🤩 that’ll pass once the devices start ‘faltering’ & make their way to the ‘appliance graveyard’ 🗑 ☄️ — never to be seen (nor ‘missed’) again? 🤔 💭

[That is, I’d anticipate using the ‘Air Fryer’ routinely, as an essential appliance, such as a blender, food processor, juicer, toaster oven, etc. — not something that ‘takes up counter space’ 🛸 & only used ‘occasionally’. ]

.

Thank you 🙏 for reading 📖 & taking time ⌚️ to share your 1st-hand experience. Much appreciated. ☺️ 🙏 🍀 🌺 🌞

.

Oh, if you’ve particular brands/ models… to recommend, please note! 👍👍 (There’s so many types/ models out there, am struggling 😣 to narrow down to just a few suitable options.)

Excellent, Elliott_Woods_! 👍👍 Good to hear. 🤗

Would you mind noting 📝 which brand/ model? 🤔

Any particular favourite foods you’ve enjoyed ‘air fried’ so far? 😋

Any downsides to the fryer?

Thank you kindly for any details you’d like to share, EW. ☺️ 🙏 🍀 🌺 🌞

Thank you kindly for sharing your OMORC Air Fryer experience, tetface! 🙏 😌

Very glad you can cook a meal (especially in summer ☀️ ) without heating the house 🔥🏠. How great is that! 😃 👍👍

Very much appreciate link 🔗 ( cookwared.com/reviews/best-... ) to summary reviews. It really helps to see the succinct list of features, pros & cons of models (& their prices 💰 via Amazon in 1 click) as well as the comparison table of Sizes (Quart), Watts, … 👍👍

It definitely helps narrow down which models to consider.

Hoping you get many tasty meals 😋 & long life out of your OMORC Air Fryer.

Very helpful, tetface. Much, much appreciated. ☺️ 🙏 🍀 🌺 🌞

[Oh, we looked at various airfryer models (including combo airfryer/ convection ovens) in ‘brick & mortar’ stores 🏬 & were surprised by the variety of sizes, quality of manufacture, etc.. 😳 Seeing some of the models out on display (some with even ‘broken’ parts) is eye opening. 😯 Nothing beats "hands on" ✋🤚 touch ‘n feel to examine appliance closely in-person to see if it suits our needs.]
