Good to know! As I said, we should move in a few months, and the microwave came with the place, it would be more of a hassle to store it somewhere.
Trust me on this. When you move, you're going to get the air fryer and then go "Are you KIDDING ME?!" and then you're going to message me and say "Okay. Yeah. We should have found a place to stick the microwave." Not saying that to convince you, I get it. But you 100% are going to be like "Fucking hell I should have tried". Everyone I know who has put them off for whatever reason, myself included, had the same self hatred of "I AM SO DENSE I CAN POWER FUSION."
It is mindboggling how much time and effort it removes from literally everything while making like restaurant style shit. I've never had fries so fucking crispy that weren't fresh from a restaurant.
Not gonna lie, you all are getting more and more convincing. I'll discuss with my gf at some point, the main issue is that we really don't have that much space on our counter.
You can get some BIG fucking air fryers but you can also get ones that are fairly small too. It depends entirely on what kind of product you're looking for. A small single basket one is more than good enough and is only about 125-150% the counter size of my toaster. The roll of paper towels is wider than the air fryer. Then there's also this great fact.
Air fryers are incredibly light and incredibly easy to move. This isn't a microwave where it's a big, bulky, heavy massive thing. When I first got my air fryer, I also didn't have counter space. I used to plug it in and then store it on a shelf in my bedroom when it wasn't being used. But it's about the same weight as my cat, maybe a little more, and she was weighed at 9lbs for her flight.
My microwave weighs like 30-40lbs and is a nuisance to move around. I did recently in the kitchen and it was a nightmare. I regularly lift up the air fryer with one hand and clean underneath it.
Fucking buy one!
