We bought our first microwave about the mid 1980s.  Nifty cooking
machine, great for veggies and, of course, reheating leftovers.
 
About a year ago, I bought an air fryer.  I hesitated, not know
if I'd  really use it and like it.  Turns out, I use it a couple
of times a  week, including reheating.

 
We held off on getting an air fryer because I thought we wouldn't
use it  much. It ended up staying out on the counter because we
used it 3-4  times a week.  We bought one for our son for
Christmas. I got the  Cuisinart model that my friend liked. He
loves it and uses it almost  every day. He told be we should get
rid of our not so  old one and get  the same on we bought for him.
 

 
The one I have is the basket type.  Some look more like a toaster
oven. I don't know which is better but unless mine breaks, it works
for me so no reason to change.

Same here, basket type.  Super small size.  Since it's normally just
the 2 of us, it's fine.  Right now it's on the floor under the claw
footed china cabinet as the verticle rotisserie is in it's space.

A 4.75lb whole chicken spinning about.  It's making planned leftovers
after first dinner, so expect a lot of chicken to sneak in the recipes
for a bit.
