Same. We got the emeril one (I’m sure there are plenty others) from my fiancés parents. It works. I prefer
Our bucket air fryer for fries etc but it does everything
Emeril (bam!)
Toaster oven / air fryer...
It makes an excellent toaster oven and an average air fryer
Best advantage is its big, no crappy little basket
My story again: I was given a bottom-tier Emeril air fryer. I didn't really want it, and didn't have space for it, so I left it outside. Plugged into an outlet, but just outside the back door.
To this day I use that thing at least every other day. I'm still shocked at how useful it is.
FYI: I rarely air fry anything. It's unparalleled in reheating fried food (usually the stuff comes out crispier and better than we got when we ordered it), but I'll also "fry" things like fries and cauliflower by tossing it in oil first. Occasionally I'll drop the stuff I'm frying from the basket into the surrounding oil-catch pan and toss it, re-coating it in the oil that's dripped down, then continue "frying." I swear my fries taste better than anything at most restaurants.
Avoid the Emeril ones they cook uneven and sound terrible. I’ve used it 10 times in 2 years and debating on returning it. I hate taking things back but this one is tempting since Costco has a lax refund policy.
Someone else said toaster oven air fryer and I agree! I have the Emeril one I think? It has like 20 settings which is probably way excessive for someone who doesnt want to put a lot of effort in lol we pretty nuch just use bake, toast, and air fry. It's pricey but you can probably find a simpler one for cheaper.
