    I have an oven style air fryer, it is invaluable & easy to use. It has a drop down door & 2 mesh shelves, as opposed to the pull out basket type.

    I think you should just buy the cheapest on the market because as you use them they are very difficult to clean so you can replace them often and try them out along the way

    I bought the dual ninja one a few months ago and it’s brilliant! Cooks everything I need to cook in less than half the time of an oven.

    Mine isn’t difficult at all. The drawer pulls out and on the inside you have a removable part that just lifts out. A quick wash in warm soapy water and job done.

    We never have a problem cleaning ours, we usually line it with foil.
    Why did I never think of this.

    Many air-fryers are quite easy to use. I certainly find it easier to use than an oven without a disability that limits my movement! No need to bend down for example. It obviously has more limits on how much it can take but many come with other functions that make it easy to keep track of the cooking or other cooking options (ours has a dehydrate function we use to dry herbs from the garden).

    As much as I'd love a dual air fryer we've not really the counter space unfortunately! I do concur it nearly always has better results than a conventional oven. I'm not *yet* convinced it's cheaper energy wise. I've not really looked into it, but it is more compact and cooks more quickly, thus less energy usage?

    I think if you're cooking more than one thing and you've only a single-basket air fryer the oven is probably more energy efficient?
