What type do you guys have and do you like it. We’re thinking about getting one.

My son bought us one a few years ago, we ended up using it alot. We replaced it with a large toaster size unit that also has a convection feature. We use this alot! It is another thing to keep clean, but having it as an oven/ convection oven, toaster and air fryer makes it convenient. The toaster feature is actually very consistent, and doesn't turn bread into charcoal like our last toaster oven did. It's probably 2 years old, but it’s a Cuisinart. Good luck!

Emeril Lagasse. It's a convection oven that does it all. Toasts, bakes, broils, fries, dehydrates, even has a rotisserie.

Get that one.

Wife has a Farberware. Works great, even does hard boiled eggs in it.

I'm not sure what brand we have but I know it gets used a lot. The kids are 7 and 8 and they use it to make their own lunch and snacks. Most things need a little spray of oil if you want it to come out crispy.

Ninja here. We use it a fair amount. Does fried chicken, fries, etc. they turn out great and less mess than the deep fryer. Healthier too.

Ours is a NuWave 15.5qt front-load air fryer. We've only had it a few months, but I like the removable trays and the large capacity.

Well jumping Jehoshaphat! How does such a contraption work?

Ninja Foodi

We have the same and we use it multiple times per day, every day. We replaced our traditional toaster with the Emeril and it probably gets used more than the oven, stove, and microwave combined.....

Same

We've been using a Walmart black Friday cheapo for several years, at least 5 years. I'm not sure I've eaten a single thing cooked in it but my wife and daughters have. They mostly cook chicken strips, fries and wedges which are things I don't typically eat. It gets used 3 days a week probably so I'm surprised it's still working, it was probably $29 or something. Or possibly $19

I don't care for them. They don't really hold enough and it's just something to clog up a shelf. If you really want one, get an oven with that feature.

I bought this one from Wally World. Use it for burgers, brats, frys, warming pizza, etc. I'll buy another when this one dies.

They rock for chicken. Whole chickens and wings are about the only use ours see.

It’s a ninja unit of some sort. Has worked fine for the last 4or 5 years.

Finally got tired of the "Minister of Finance" looking at the dang things everytime we went to Walmart! 😖
She picked out the Ninja one.
Must say, it took a bit of experimenting to get it right, but she worked it out!
We both like fried foods!
This thing:
A) doesn't heat up the kitchen so badly
B) uses a LOT less oil than a skillet or deep fryer
C) makes some of the best french fries I think I've ever eaten! 😋
D) doesn't take up a lot of space

One of my favorite breakfasts, especially in cooler weather, is tater tots fried up crispy with a big old fat over medium egg with a runny yellow over the top!
That and a cup of hot, black coffee! 😜

The Ninja does a fantastic job of "frying"!

Air fryer - Convection oven --- Basically the same thing.

Many kitchen ranges manufactured over the past decade or so already have a convection cooking feature built-in.

Basically both are just cooking same as always but with a fan blowing inside oven / air fryer to circulate heat.

I don't know, but it is not shaped like a toaster oven, it's round. We don't use it much, just reheating some things.
