For some reason I knew it was technology connections just by reading the title
- And the duration
  
  The man spent like half an hour discussing light switches.
I got an air fryer this year, and I definitively recommend it. It was cheap, I paid 350 reals (roughly 70 euros). In some cases the food is really similar to deep-fried food, but the biggest appeal of the device is as a small but powerful oven - specially for stuff like

chicken wings - they turn out wet but well cooked, with a crispy outside

reheating stale bread - pat it with a bit of water, then plop it in the air fryer.

frozen potato fries - as he mentions in the video they get damn great

milanesa - it doesn't get identical to deep-fried milanesa but it's really good, and way better than doing it in the oven.

If looking for a model make sure to get one with a detachable false bottom, otherwise you'll get the problem andrewta mentioned and won't be able to clean it right.
- My dude... Get ready for some more great suggestions...
  
  Reheating Pizza
  
  Cooking salmon or any kind of fish really. Suggest panko breading
  
  Same goes for pork chops. Go with the thick ones - they get wonderfully crispy but very juicy inside
  
  BACON!!!
  
  Roasted potatoes - make sure to cut them into larger chunks than you usually do
  
  Reheating greasy/fried foods alone makes these things worth it imo. Im no detractor of cold pizza but its just not necessary anymore, this shit is magic
19 minute video on air fryers? I don't own an air fryer. I'm not in the market for an air fryer. I'm not very interested in air fryers.

Pff, it's just heating and stirring the air, not frying it.
- Yup. And that's still damn useful.
  
  That's the whole point of the video.
  
  The video doesn't explain how to fry air
great. now I want a sunbeam radiant control toaster.
Most of them are a pain in the ass to properly clean. My mom has a ninja air fryer. There is no way to remove the top grate. The grease builds up in it.
If I got an oven with grill and fan forced, do I really need an air-fryer?

I don't see an overwhelming reason to be honest.
- You don't need it. You won't get the same end result with your setup, but if you don't feel like you're missing anything there's no reason to get one.
  
  So they're for... Small meals, fast(er)meals (frozen is still a quick meal), and ... those people without a normal oven?
- No.
TIL the new “air fryer” version of my old convection toaster over is the same device, but with a basket accessory.
Dont they also fill all ur food with micro plastics?
- The components inside it are metal, plastic wouldn't be able to handle that heat so they are unable to add any plastics to your food
- It’s not microplastics that worry me. It’s heated plastics, which is why I don’t use plastics in the microwave or use non stick cookware. BTW, the fancy air fryer seems to be all metal, like the toaster ovens.
  
  Also, why the downvotes to a reasonable question?
  
  Why downvotes? I think cos everyone is using it and they dont wanna have to confront the idea they fucking themselves.
- Not that I'm aware of, no.
Btw.
