You guys have had a definite influence. I've been using a small toaster oven for years and pretty much like it, but it's lacking in high temperature capability and is very hard to clean.
Reading all the stuff about your air fryers, I think it's time to give one a go....but which one ??
It won't be a big use thing...more for frozen pizza and chicken wings sort of stuff, so don't need a lot of bells and whistles. I see them online for anywhere from around ~$60 to over $200.
What would you gour-met chefs recommend to me for a low priced, smaller air fryer ??

A gourmet chef would not recommend an air fryer.

Mine is my oven. My oven is split in into two separate chambers with two sets of burners. The largest chamber is a convection oven. Which is all an air frier is.
I owned a small one that was built like a deep frier. It cooked well but wasn’t convenient due to its small size and basket shape.
I highly recommend having one as a full-sized oven.

Just get a small one....
I was in the same place about a year ago. Then I saw one in Costco for 40$ and thought.....why not? I think you should consider ease of use(cleaning) and counter space.....that way you will regret it less if you find you're not using it. After 1 year, I have no regrets, I use it a lot, but if it was any larger, it would be in a closet or the garage and forgotten about.

I used to sell these in our stores, Midea brand, low tier, with dials not electronic controls. They are super cheaper and built like tanks. Midea is the largest consumer white goods manufacturer in the world.

They work pretty good. We use convection toaster oven daily, air fryer every 6 weeks or so.

To save counter space we got the combination toaster oven/air fryer. Ours is the Cuisinart with knobs. It does ok for both duties but not as great as a dedicated air fryer according to the experts. Use it a lot. They are great for reheating regular fried wings and chicken as you can put the crispiness back to a degree.

Instructions say 400 for 40 minutes. I poke a couple of forks in them and do 375 for 30 minutes then kick it up to 400 for the last ten. Comes out really good.

Let me know and it'll be yours in 2 weeks Same here except I don't own a deep fryer. You can have my basket model free. Used very little. I want one that looks like a toaster oven. I got mine as a Christmas gift years ago and the basket is too small.
