A housemate owns one and I hate it. It pulls such an irresponsible amount of juice you gotta turn a bunch of other stuff off or it trips the circuit breaker. And literally the ONLY thing it actually cooks very well is french fries.
Sounds like janky electrical mixed with a junky air fryer. I love ours as it heats up quick and cooks almost right away. If you think that’s bad, imagine how much more juice your full-sized oven pulls.
I can believe it. My apartment is wired dumb as shit, basically the entire place except appliances and the bathrooms is one circuit. Found THAT out when I tried to plug in an iron when the AC was on.
All they are is a small countertop convection oven. They use less power to cook than a full size oven, you just don’t notice it because those are on their own higher powered circuit.
Nah. Grew up with a gas oven, have only had electric since leaving my parents’ house, stuff tastes the same. TBH most people prefer electric ovens because they heat more evenly.
Not that I’ve noticed, but maybe the difference is subtle. I should try for a comparison someday! We’re not using gas for any particular reason though, it’s just what the apartment came with and we wouldn’t have the authority to change it anyway
Cheap air fryers suck but a good quality one is super versatile. Fries up chicken well and you can make so much other stuff. Just avoid the really cheap brands
I use mine instead of the oven for anything that fits and can withstand the “whirlwind” it produces. It’s faster, work at lower temperatures and requires no pre-heating.
The Philips i have now was quite expensive though. Before I had some other brand that didn’t work any better than a regular oven.
The air fryer 💀

It pulls less than your typical under counter oven (or an electric kettle). I think you need to check your circuits.
Unless your under counter oven is gas… like mine is.
Oh, nice! Do things taste different when using one of those compered to electric?

That must be the problem I bet! I didn’t buy the thing though lol

Oh, you mean a small shitty oven that dries everything out and got really popular for some reason?
