    What’s the scam? They reduced the size and made it have a fan than had more effect. I don’t currently have one but people seem to like the results. It’s like calling a toaster a scam, sure… But like the people who want them will get one.

      When we were living in a rental with a leaky propane stove, we got an air fryer and did all of our cooking in it! I shut the gas off to the stove so we didn’t explode.

      The air fryer did a great job, and we still use it for small stuff today! Or if it’s hot and we don’t want to heat the whole oven up.

        I have a convection toaster oven which is fine, but it heats up my kitchen because it’s less insulated than my oven and not right under the vent fan.

        My question about air fryers is, how are they on making plain toast? Also can I turn off the fan to bake ?

      I’m not sure if this is what this person is on about, but we had a desktop air fryer that we got rid of because it didn’t do anything it claimed to. I didn’t get what all the fuss was about until a few years later we got an oven with an air fryer mode that actually does what people claim air fryers do.
