Yeah I really don't get the point my yousemate has one and he insists it cooks certain things better than an oven, but its really just the same and it just seems like a mindless fad people are following that's being pushed to sell useless tat.

They also suggest you use oil when trying to fry things. You just use a lot less oil when you do.

But if you try frying, like, french fries in an air fryer, even with some spray on oil, it doesn't come out the same. It comes out like they were baked. If I wanted them baked, I wouldn't have used a frier.
