I have a Ninja brand 8-in-1 air fryer, dehydrator, pressure cooker, etc.  It's really nice.  It's basically a mini convection oven.  You may also want to look into something else I have, a Kitchenaid countertop oven.  It's amazing.  I use it ALL the time and it's replaced my air fryer for most things and my big oven.

For your tiny kitchen, I would recommend the Breville smart oven, that is what I have.

I was using an air fryer to heat up my meals and I really liked the way that it worked.  Then someone shared an article with me about how they could possibly cause diseases because of the way they actually work.  Kind of in the same manner that we shouldn't be using microwaves, since they kill all of the nutrients in our food, or something like that, haha.  If you want my air fryer, I will give it to you for free.

I am so glad you asked as we are looking at/for one as well Jan Green - Scottsdale, AZ . The comments are really helpful.

I have a Cosori Air Fryer and love it! Last night I cooked salmon and asparagus. 5 minutes to heat up air fryer and 7 minutes to cook both together! Perfect!

I have a Ninja Foodi air fryer pressure cooker combo. I have heard about many alternatives. I'm in a bunch of carnivore groups LOL and hear people talking about instapot and newer ninjas that are more space saving so shop around a little bit. At this time of year, I'm out grilling on my patio at 6:00 a.m. LOL

Ailina Nelson got a Ninja Air Fryer for Christmas and we use it occasionally. They are bulky but the finished product (food) is amazing! 

We have made chicken, healthy French fries, Brussel sprouts, green beans, taco meat, baked potatoes, etc. Basically most anything you'd put in your oven with the exception of a turkey or pizza 😂 

I have a roomy kitchen and all kinds of gadgets, but I keep them on a shelf and put them on the island when in use, then put them away.  I don't eat leftovers so no "reheat" for me.  It's not a choice, it's a medical necessity.  Histamines build up in leftovers and the alphagal caused mass cell activation and leftovers are a no go for me.  

Ecozy brand puts out an excellent product (air-fryer). It can do almost anything with little muss or fuss & clean-up a breeze. I bought some disposable filters & a inside raised grill as separate accessories. My oven is rarely used now. Steaks, chicken, french fries, sausages veggies & ? This is a must have Jan Green - Scottsdale, AZ ...spend time on the different models/sizes & then pull the trigger! You will never look back

I use mine but have no recomendations,  try everything.  I have clean counters so it is stored underneath,  but I still use my oven during the summer.  Really don’t find it heats the kitchen that month. 

I use a folding tray table that stores between the refrigerator & counter to hold our air fryer. It generates a lot of heat out the vent so be careful not to have it against a solid wall. 

We just got our first Air Fryer and are shocked how great they are to use.  They replace the oven, stove, microwave and even the barbecue.  Have fun experimenting with cooking in it.  Watch YouTube videos for tricks and tips.

I have a Cuisinart air fryer.  Chicken breasts cook 7 minutes on each side.  Juicy and delicious.  You cannot cook multiple things at once in mine.  Be sure and use parchment paper as well Jan.😎 

I hear a lot about air fryers. People always make them sound great but I wonder if we'd actually use one. Our daily means are pretty simple. My husband will grill something (chicken, steak, hamburgers, salmon, shrimp, etc) and I'll make a side with steamed or roasted vegetables. I'll sometimes make something that requires more work such as a soup or special recipe because I do enjoy cooking on occasion. 

I also wonder what clean up will be like. I don't want something you have to take apart and spend a lot of time cleaning.

Use ours almost daily and then it fits nicely in a lower cupboard. Saves a lot of cook time, a lot of heat in the kitchen, does a nice job of cooking.  

Just remember that opinions vary - air fryers were voted "most useless" appliances in a survey. 

just about everything.  Quick and cool.  We love roasted veggies and using no oil to get the char flavor is saving lots of calories.  

If you don't have space in your kitchen for the Breville that Katina mentioned, you're not going to have space for many of the air fryers that are on the market today.  Many of them are pretty large.

If you have a convection oven, that's the same thing as an air fryer.

We started out with a big one that opened in the front similar to a conventional oven.

This past fall my wife thought it wise to get a smaller one with two drawers that heat at different rates.

That is something I considered buying but decided against it ... because if I had one, I would be eating things that I do not eat without one (LOL). 

That would be flying into the danger zone.  I'm keeping the weight off and making healthy eating choices.  

I bought one a couple of years ago, had it on the counter for a while, but it is big and clunky.   Took up too much space in the cabinet too, so on a shelf in the laundry room, and haven't used it for a year.

Hi Jan- I’m going to hang out to see what everyone says. I’d love one but also don’t want it sitting in the counter. So I want one easy enough for me to pull out of our pantry

I haven't ventured into the world of air fryers yet. I probably should.  I use my toaster oven a lot, which serves as a mini oven.

Good question - I'm curious what people who have them have to say. I have no experience with them.

Allllll the foods are great in an air fryer.....I think my favorite is chicken parm - I tenderize and season/bread a chicken breast, set it for 12 minutes, add cheese/sauce with 3 minutes to go, and it comes out perfect every time

Breaded cod or mahi mahi for fish tacos is a favorite

I make meatballs often with it too

I have the Cosori Aeroblaze and love it - it roasts, broils, and grills, too --- I am a steak snob, and when I'm short on time, it even makes a decent filet (not as good as cast iron seared and finished in the oven, but half the time and none of the mess)
