The Ninja Crispi went on sale this month, grabbed one. Love the glass containers.
Update: bought the Cosori TurboBlaze after reading this, zero regrets.
Typhur Dome is expensive but the self-cleaning mode actually works
Ninja DualZone is a game changer for families, fries in one basket and chicken in the other, both done at the same time.
Agreed, the 'match cook' and 'sync' buttons are genius.
Philips XXL is a tank, ours is 6 years old and still perfect
The Ninja Crispi with glass containers is great if you hate nonstick coatings
Have the Cosori TurboBlaze and it's honestly the best kitchen purchase I've made in years.
Is an air fryer really that different from a convection oven? Genuine question
Basically a small, powerful convection oven. Heats up in 2 min and crisps better because the food is closer to the fan.
air fryer people are a cult lol it's just an oven
A cult with very crispy chicken wings 😎
