I had a regular air fryer and they are kind of bulky, do need to fully cool or they burn out. Also discovered it was lined with toxic nonstick.
Stoves can act as air fryers, it’s basically just convection. See if yours has that setting.
We got the instant pot lid, too. It lives on our counter, but we do have a place in the closet if we need to make space. It cools down quickly so you can pack it away easily when you're done. I ended up getting a stainless steel rack with 3 levels because the one it comes with is kind of bulky and doesn't have as much usable space. Like PP we like having an all stainless appliance except for parts of the lid.
Good to know, I’ll look for the 3 tier rack! Thank you!
I have gone through two Gourmia ones, first one burnt out quickly and second one I realized was lined with nonstick coating. I love the instant pot lid thing!! So small and works better.

Also got the instant pot air fryer. Love it! I usually don’t use the fry basket, to get more space. Still works fine if you flip food midway. Great appliance, helps me eat healthier!

I recently got the Gourmia one (semi impulse buy, was on sale at Costco). I have mixed reviews so far.
It is not heavy at all. It needs a pretty good amount of counter space when in use, because you have to be able to pull out the basket to turn/shake it. I like that it makes it easy to quickly prepare healthy veggies. However, you have to watch it - it's very easy to accidentally burn things.

I gave my Gourmia air fryer away. The manual said the burning plastic smell would be gone after the first use. It was never gone.
I want to get a Breville smart oven air fryer but they are expensive so I haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

I got this one:

It flips upright for storage, which is convenient. But it would be a pain to actually haul it in and out of a cupboard every time I want to use it. I just flip it up against the back wall so that I get most of the counter space back.

They’re not heavy at all. Way lighter than a Kitchenaid mixer.

I’m thinking of getting one, I’ve never used or owned one. I have a small kitchen so ideally I would pull out the air fryer as needed and put away when done using. Is that practical? Or is the air fryer too heavy/bulky/hot/sticky after using to put it away in a cabinet or closet?
