This quote from the article did make me laugh:

"...Despite what the marketers and advertisers will tell you, the air fryer was not made for people who are trying to “cut their calories” or “use less oil.” It was made for stoners, dirt bags, and people who enjoy an even lower-effort pizza roll in the wee hours of the morning..."

That’s the most honest bit of reporting I’ve seen so far in 2020.

We use ours quite often for quick fried meals. It's all a mater of what you try to cook in it. It beats the microwave hands down on breaded chicken patties, french fries, tater tots, etc.
Just don't try to cook bacon in it. Despite what the book says, you end up with limp bason strips and a house full of smoke. At least my ol' fry pan crisps it up before the smoke starts.

We cooked a 14lb, Cajun marinade injected bird in one instead on the deep fryer and it was awesome. Also cook whole chicken and game hens. Delicious and moist.

The type we have is a pyrex bowl and cleaning is simple

I’m neither a ‘stoner’, nor a ‘dirtbag’ (at least, I don’t think so, certainly not for the former and hopefully not for the latter). As I live in ‘shared accommodation’, there is no oven. I have a Ninja Foodi Grill, which is a grill, it also bakes, roasts, and air fries. I like its versatility and, along with an Instant Pot pressure cooker and a microwave, I really don’t need to use the two induction elements in the basement kitchen.

The only downside is that, while the machine is advertised as being ‘smokeless’, it does smoke and set off thecfire alarm sometimes.
