Not everyone has a big American kitchen where you can try new appliances and not worry about space. I've been thinking about getting an air fryer but it's not an easy decision because I'd have to remove something else that I use; and I know others in the same position.
It wouldn't replace the toaster, because that fits on the windowsill and an air fryer would not.
- mc3301 2y agoyeah, our toast is toasted in a frying pan. Tiny kitchen here. I'd like to try an air-fryer, but for now my one table-top appliance is a instant pot. It is used daily.
- turnsout 2y agoI hear you—I also have a tiny kitchen, but there happened to be a carveout for a microwave, which we replaced with a toaster oven. But I grill all my bread on the frying pan, because it this is the objectively superior method. :)
- TeMPOraL 2y agoIsn't an air fryer already the poster child of a "can't have a regular oven because I have no space in the kitchen, I'm renting the apartment, or both" appliance?
- regularfry 2y agoI'm lucky enough to have space for both. They do different jobs - there's overlap, obviously, but I don't bake bread in the airfryer and I don't cook chicken wings in the oven.

I suppose it's that for some people but everyone I know with one also has a fullsized oven. They are used for different purposes and often you don't want to heat up your whole oven to warm up some fries for 10 minutes.
- crazygringo 2y agoBut that's the whole point. A toaster does only one thing and takes up space. An air fryer or toaster oven does lots of things, and also makes toast. That's why toaster oven makes very little sense for anyone except if they have a "big American kitchen" and want to fill their countertop.
