Iām frightened to put the oven on these days.

Iām just trying to work out if we would benefit from an air fryer. We do use the oven a fair bit for fish, jacket spuds, pies etc it takes 10+ minutes to get up to temp and the fan runs fo an hour after switch off. Iāve just looked up the energy consumption but it doesnāt mean much to me.
The air fryers Iāve looked at are 2.5 to 3KW. Can anyone tell me how to compare the figures?
Just realized I havenāt posted the pic 
Iām not technical enough to be able to help with figures but in general terms, the air fryer preheats much quicker. Mine takes about 3 minutes to come up to a temperature of 200c.
Also, it cooks the food much quicker as well. For example, oven chips that would take would take 22 minutes at 210c in the oven will take 15 minutes at 200c in the air fryer.
Therefore, the cost of air frying the chips is likely to be less than 2/3rds of the price of oven cooking them. The main benefit though is they come out of the air fryer much better cooked. Crisped to perfection on the outside, nice and fluffy inside. Win, win.
Thanks Paul, we deep fry chips but the general heating speed etc sounds good 
Bear in mind that whatever you cook your (smaller) oven is 39 litres which is >5 times the volume of that Air Fryer. With the 2 drawer version you might only need to use 1 of them making it an even smaller space to heat.

I often say that one of the surprise benefits of the air fryer is that itās like a kitchen gadget - easy to operate similar to a microwave - and so the kids can use it safely. This probably goes for pensioners as well.

Any road up Iām convinced. Any recommendations? There are only two of us and worktop space isnāt huge.

If I was buying again, Iād go for the dual drawer type. Battered fish one side, chips in tāother and mushy peas in the microwave, job done in 15 minutes, cooked to perfection. Chicken and roast spuds the same way, half the time, half the cost and a michelin starred outcome, you canāt go wrong and no more ā who called the cunt a chefā remarks from your nearest and dearest.
Nothing smaller than 7.6 litres though, even though there are only two of you. Make wise, I like ninja but Iām sure cheaper options do the job just as well.
I paid Ā£200 for my Ninja 7.6L dual drawer after my brother and mum going on at me like itās some sort of cult. First thing I made was roast potatoes and I was convinced within just over half an hour. Barely use the oven now unless itās for something that wonāt fit. I do āboiledā eggs in it too.
As I said above, Iwe deep fry chips so only need the single width especially as space is limited.

I have this one, which is good. I like the system of three trays (insert Python joke here)
We have one of those. Chicken rotisserie is brill, chips are shite.
I got this model ,more versatile

I bought one of the Ninja 15 in 1 things when we did our kitchen up a few months back. To date weāve only used the new Ā£800 ovenās top oven/grill for pizza, cheese on toast and grilling large batches of bacon & sausages. The bottom oven has roasted precisely 1 chicken.
FoL s are amused at my insistence on using the grill for cheese on toast because they use the Ninja.
I reckon if you had a multi cooker and a 2 drawer air fryer, you wouldnāt need a conventional oven at all, other than for stuff like Pizza, and the money youād save on a big appliance would buy a lot of Dominoās.
