Anyone using an air fryer? What brand/model do you use? Likes/dislikes?
Personally, I tend to just use my pressure cooker for one pot cooking but am looking at air fryer just for the heck of it.
We've had a Ninja, nearly identical to this one, https://www.amazon.com/Ninja-Pressure-6-5-Quart-Capacity-Stainless/dp/B08LB3LZL5, for about one year, and use it frequently to great satisfaction.
The Ninja Pressure Cooker/Air Fryer cooks in the pot, so I would imagine clean up is easier vs those other designs, right? I would probably just put the pot in the dish washer and let it take care of the grease.
Uses air fryer more.
Well, for $35, why not. Ordered one.

That's a good deal!
We've had the following Bella for 1-1/2 years, and use it a few times/month, and have been well-satisfied.

But if I need a new one, I'll probably try to get the one that Costco sells for $39.99 when on sale, as I gave a few of those for Christmas, and haven't heard any complaints.

Well, this is interesting. 4.2qt lets you put 10" x 8" of food. $25.

So long as your food is 3D, the 6qt model will hold more.
The Red Baron pizza in a 12' square box has a pizza with 11" diameter. Looks like I can put a third of the pizza to cook at a time in the Bella Pro 6 qt basket.

Only in baking mode. Air frying is best when food is placed in 1 layer, not stacked.
So this for $100.

I have the one in the middle of your listing. The main reason I bought it was because it was a $49 black Friday deal.
Frozen pizza is not easy to cut.
Dang, looks like I missed the $30 sale on Feb 6. Oh well, $35 is a pretty good price.
Air fryer popcorn?
But then... isn't this air frying pop corn?

Pretty easy for a quarter piece. Just need a 12" knife, put pizza on cutting board, and press down. Repeat.
Even easier with a meat cleaver.
My new air fryer works pretty good. Bought some fried fish fillet and burger buns earlier and made myself a fish sandwich for lunch. Yum!
