I've been using an air fryer for about a year or so. 90% of my usage is from chicken with some basic herbs, the rest is for salmon and other fish. Very happy with it.

My partner made crispy port belly and it was amazing.

I mean, the chicken is good and easier than the BBQ, but it's mostly convienence (BBQ could work). The only thing I'm really finding it superior over other devices so far is potatos, but it does do the mushrooms with less effort/clean up (no oil needed or just oil spray).

For me it's convienent as it works like an oven (and better in some ways) but in my room, so that is really nice. It made hamburgers better then traditionally ovens for sure, but not as good as the grill. For my chicken thighs eventually, the grill is probably worth the extra time/effort, but if I just wanna eat a few thighs quickly and not make a whole batch and put some in the fridge/freezer, this will be much easier/faster.

It's convienence mostly, except for potatoes (so far), but I also have not tried actually making fried chicken yet (I have 4 pieces left to try that on) something I could never do before (although in theory I could in a shallow pan with a light amount of oil, I never tried).

Making snitzel (chicken, don't like pork other than bacon mostly), though was always a huge mess and a ton of work. I might be able to do that much easier with this as well, and it's yum. So for frying stuff..well hence the name..the air fryer is prob gonna be better. It gives me other options for food I would normally cook in the oven as well (though not slow cook I don't think....but I guess I could try doing a roast at a lower temp and see how that comes out.
