Getting a Hot Air Fryer for two people.  What Air Fryer do you like and how big?

Expect your electric bill to go up, but other than that, they're good from what I've heard.
I think they draw close to 3 thousand watts.

We have a Power Air Fryer from a couple of years ago, they are branded as PowerXL now, I think. Ours draws 1700 watts and is OK for two people. Some foods tend to get dried out a little but, cooking time is shorter and they are very easy to clean up.

I have a Ninja model AG-305 indoor grill that I like. I grilled steaks last night and they were great. This thing air fries, bakes, grills and can be used to dehydrate also. 1760 watts max and the max temp is 550. No smoke when cooking. You cannot use olive oil in this unit. Very easy to clean, and it does not give off any smoke. Good price also.

My understanding Avocado Oil is good up to 400º.

I don't think you can use any oils in this thing. That's why it's a dry air fryer.

Most call for some food to have a very light oil wiped on the bottom rack so food don't stick.

That's true, and you can cook bacon in them. I may pick one up if it works for you.

I have a Power XL Air Fryer oven.  Size of a large toaster oven.  Does everything including a small rotisserie.  I think I would have preferred a Cuisinart, Ninja or even an Emeril Lagasse Air Fryer.  All around 200 bucks.  I use it quite a bit.
