As an American, I completely agree. It's gotten so bad that this attitude has leached from the suburbs where larger homes and kitchens exist into the city where there just isn't enough space. My friends think I'm being silly for not wanting an air fryer when I already have a convection oven or an instant pot when I already have a slow cooker and pressure canner. I'm very anti single use equipment or duplicate equip for the very reason that I don't have space and it's often a waste of money. But it seems like everyone around me just buys whatever and doesn't think too much about where it's going to go or how much they will use it and I just don't understand it :/
Totally agree too many folks are rampant consumers. I like to have a good think about purchases before I buy and I did so with our fryer. I would say the air fryer has supplanted the standard oven (or skillet) for a large portion of my food prep. Uses less power, heats faster which means I am more efficient. For my use case, it has been a decidedly positive experience.
Combination units are what I like. My microwave is also an air fryer. Which is just a toaster oven with a powerful enough fan on it to qualify, really.
Fuck an air fryer. I will never join the cult. I have a convection oven and Dutch oven. Things which need baking get baked. Things which need frying get fried. It really is not that fucking hard. If I don't have time to preheat an oven or oil, it's not worth cooking.
isnt an air fryer just a convection oven anyway.
