I would have cleaned mine before then. Usually clean it every few uses depending on what was made in it. More often for messier things.

Why use those instead of an oven?
weker01@sh.itjust.works 2 hours ago
Faster, more energy efficient and for small stuff easier to use.
Could be placebo but some stuff tastes better than from my oven in convection mode.

It takes a lot less energy and it’s faster.

Being energy efficient means not having to add more infrastructure to produce electricity which is the most environmentally friendly thing we can do when it comes to electricity production. Everyone should have an air fryer so they wouldn’t have to use their oven for small things!

It’s a great alternative if your rental has a gas oven and you are rightfully concerned about the indoor air pollution caused by the burning of natural gas. We can’t change the installed range so we use an air-fryer/ toaster oven on one counter and an electric induction burner on the other. We got a wooded range cover and use it as counter space for food prep.

Technology connections did a good Video on the topic, and a comparison between them and normal ovens.
Personally I use mine (which is a toaster oven / air fryer combo) because it’s faster and easier to clean. So if I’m making something that fits in it, that’s my choice

As an honest answer, no preheat time. But I have an air fryer pressure cooker combo, so the air fry is more of a bonus. If you already have a connection oven, yeah there’s absolutely no reason to get an air fryer.

I use my air fryer a lot, despite having a fan oven also.
Because the fan circulation is more powerful than in a typical oven, air fryers are really good at is crisping things up, and doing it quickly.
If you ever get take-out and have left over fries, you can put them in the air fryer and they go from fridge-limp to deliciously crisp in just 3 minutes, it resurrects them perfectly. Can’t get results like that in the big oven.

I still use my little airfryer a lot, even if i have a good oven. It’s big enough for me, it’s faster and easier to clean.

Most air fryers still need to preheat for a few minutes for best results.
Also some ovens now have an air fryer setting.

Everything kept coming out tasting like fish in mine and we recently discovered it was because there was a single fish stick that somehow got stuck to the roof of the thing where nobody expected anything to be.

To the roof… How did that happen? 😐
