    A large oven uses a lot of electricity that is wasted for heating up that entire space.

    An air fryer is nothing but a small convection oven. That means it heats up almost instantly, wastes much less heat, can circulate the air much faster for faster baking, and uses substantially less heat. And it doesn’t generate the smell of deep frying.

    We use ours almost every day. The oven is basically not used unless we make full size pizza.

    The standard convection oven isn’t a better tool except in size.

    Our air fryer is also quite good at making things like potatoes or tofu crispy, not deep fried crispy, but nice and crispy without that much oil or the amount of time it would need in the convection oven.
