  Plus it doesn’t take 15 minutes to preheat

    You also don’t have to waste energy heating up a whole oven

      but isn’t a conventional oven insulated better?

        For programmers: Air fryers have perfected the race to idle.

        For everyone else: Probably, but the insulation may not matter as much. Heating up a traditional oven takes anywhere from 15 to maybe 5 minutes, if you got a really powerful one. During that time heat escapes the device.

        Meanwhile air fryers usually heat up in about a minute and get the actual cooking done faster.

        So unless you a broiling something for a really long time, air fryers may still come out on top, just because they get done quicker, saving energy in the process.

        Oven pizza is a 22 minute job. My air fryer is done after 9.

        There’s also something about air volume and thermal mass, but you get the point.

    I had one that took a few minutes to preheat, and others that you just toss the stuff in.

    But yeah, it’s a marginal time with that one I would just start it and than go grab what I want to cook and it’ll be ready by then usually.

    Especially on 230V circuits this is a big plus. It’s hot in a minute when my oven takes 12 minutes.
