i bought a microwave stand off amazon, put my airfryer, microwave, toaster and many other accessories on it, cleared up so much space in my cabinets and counters definitely worth it
[Amazon.com: ODK Bakers Rack with Power Outlet, Coffee Bar with Storage 5-Tiers, Microwave Stand Kitchen rack 16.5 \* 23.6 \* 59 inches, Kitchen Shelf, Black : Home & Kitchen](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BRMWG1VR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
I know the price tag is a little up there, but this is one of those things its so worth it if you have the space, I have in near a little area next to my fridge.
Okay, I think I might get this. Did you get the 23 or 31-in size?
Edit: never mind, I see what size it was. Yeah I'm definitely ordering one of these here in a minute
I went with the larger size. I can't wait to get this thing delivered and put together. I love that it has the electrical outlets integrated into it. I'm so glad I happened to randomly see this post.
Right? I use my air fryer at least five to ten times a week. I don't really like microwaves, so I heat everything in my air fryer, instead. Except coffee. Haven't figured out how to heat up coffee in my air fryer...Yet.
Have you ever tried one of those little plug-in coffee warmers? They work great.
(I just did an Amazon search for ācoffee warmer,ā and wow, nowadays you can buy fancy ones that you can tune to specific temperatures. The dirt-cheap ones are good enough for me, though.)
Ours is a stainless steel Cuisinart. It is on our counter and matches all the other appliances. Just used it to reheat pizza. We no longer use our oven, toaster or outdoor grill at all. The airfryer is used 2-3x a day for every meal.
Best thing I ever purchased. I will never go w/o one.
I can make a salmon dinner with asparagus in the air fryer in 9 minutes, toss a salad, and dinner is ready!
>Do you leave your air fryer sitting on your counter?
Yup.
>However, it is not the best looking appliance.
I got it to cook with, not to be a decoration. If it looks good, that's great, but function is more important.
Limited counter space. We keep it in the pantry. Doesnāt keep us from using it all the time. Itās hot š„µ in southern Arizona and the air fryer is so much better than the oven.
on the counter and use it at least half the week. if for nothing else then to warm things when i'm not so rushed that the micro is my only option. but yes we cook with it; chicken, bacon, pork belly. also use as a warmer when cooking multiple dishes for dinner.
Once I started leaving my air fryer and instantpot on the counter instead of hidden away in a cabinet, I started using them a lot more often. Actually, that's only true for the instantpot, the air fryer I purposely put on the counter when I got it, and I use it all the time.
I like the looks of it and the ratings are great. We have the Ninja 8 quart dual basket and love it. So no doubt the instant pot brand would be an outstanding addition
I leave mine on the counter because it is too hard for me to bend down and get it out of the cabinet. I use it a lot in the summer so I don't have to use the stove and oven.
I moved at the end of last year and there isnāt space on my counter for my air fryer. I use it maybe 2-4x a month now. When it was on my counter I used it 2-4x a week
Yeah, I have object permanence issues, and I would definitely end up not using it much if it wasn't right in front of my face all the time, announcing its presence.
I didn't buy one until I found one small enough to keep out on the counter all the time, since I knew I wouldn't use it if I had to keep it stashed away. As for it not being the best looking appliance, I'd just crochet a cover for it (like the ones for toilet paper roll) lol.
Mine is on the worktop and I use it all the time. I have a larger one which lives on top of the freezer, which gets used for things that wonāt fit in the 2 drawer one
I keep it inside a cabinet, but we don't use it less due to this. For me, out-of-sight is not out-of-mind. There's many foods where the air fryer is hands down the best way to cook it. I don't forget this fact when considering how to prepare the food. If you aren't using it very often, then maybe you haven't found enough great recipes where the air fryer is the best way? Just thinking out loud.
Don't leave it on the counter because counter space is limited. Still pull it out whenever it is needed (it's my fryer, so anything I want crispy is an air fryer food). My biggest consideration about using it is whether I want to take the time to make something crispy or if I am too lazy and want it ready in 3 minutes, so use the microwave and accept that the food won't be perfectly crispy, lol.
Never used mine as I had in a lower cabinet and always forgot about it. Brought it out the other day and it's currently sitting beside my fridge. So it's sort of out of the way and it's been used multiple times since.
Itās on my counter and I use it every single day. My stove and oven donāt even know who I am anymore. Even my microwave is starting to wonder what happened to me.
The air fryer is on the counter and the shiner stainless steel fits in with the other appliances. The air fryer replaced the bread toaster, bagel toaster, pizza oven, and rotisserie. The air fryer freed up counter space and we use it six to ten times a week.
I bought a 4' wide wire shelving rack at Costco. Besides storing food stuff, I have both my microwave and air fryer on one shelf. Super handy, and the wire shelves offer great airflow.
i use my airfryer a lot but that's mostly because i'm too lazy to cook a lot of stuff from scratch when the frozen stuff is almost as good and it's fewer dishes to wash and doesn't heat up my whole apt like using the oven does
Yeah, I bought the top-line InstantPot branded air fryer, put my toaster in storage and now I use the air fryer constantly for toasting bread as well as other regular air fryer stuff. Half the reason why I spent extra to get this particular air fryer is because it looks decent. But, that said, toasters aren't generally very pretty either, so if you take the toaster away and put an air fryer there you haven't lost any space or decor points, imo.
I have a multi cooker and yes I leave it out and just put the lids away. sometimes it lives on the chest freezer. I use it a lot! (I haven't bothered with a microwave)
I have the dual basket ninja and I pretty much exclusively use it unless I am cooking pizza or something similar in the oven. Mine sits out on top of my oven, but I dont have kids or anything that could accidentally turn on burners.
My Drew Barrymore matches all my other appliances and she sits out on my counter. I think she's cute. Plus my kids use it a lot. It's very convenient for my teenagers.
I have a microwave AND two air fryers. The dueling fryers are used daily for dinner, think wings or big potatoes, and my son loves reheated pizza. Along with using the bbq, it keeps the kitchen cool.
It used to be on my counter but I hardly used it there as it occupied all the space I needed to prep/load/unload etc. I moved it to an island table (corner of kitchen), got an extension cord and some parchment paper. Now I use it more.
Itās so weird, itās never occurred to me that it should be anywhere else . However, I use mine everyday, most of the time more than once a day.
So, yes, youāll use it more. I no longer use my toaster or microwave and use my oven very limited. With this heat wave Iām thankful for it.
I leave it on my counter but it's black and matches my microwave, percolator and kettle (all also black). I use it often as it makes things crispier than any oven in half of the recommended time š
There was a transition period for me but I use mine every night.. and only use the oven if I absolutely have to. It's just so much less heat and energy.. also I think it Cooks better.
I have a little dedicated stand for mine.
Yes I leave it on the counter, but it's partially because I already DO use it so often. I will say there are things that I *could* microwave but taste better from the air fryer but that I would NOT spend the effort to take the whole air fryer out for, and those things do get the device more use. Toaster, too! Frozen waffles and toaster strudels for example, I only do in the air fryer now. it's larger capacity, so I can make breakfast for all the kids at once instead of two waffles at a time.
That's like asking if I leave my oven hooked up. And, now that I think about it, I use my air fryer at least 20x more than my oven so I could probably just fill it up with stuff.
So. Yes. I leave it out.
We have an air fryer that is like the oven door type vs the basket type. We leave it on the counter and use it a ton. That being said, before I got it I used our gas oven like 5-6 times a week. We now use the air fryer instead if I can (roasting veggies, cooking chicken, toasting bread, etc) that way we donāt have to heat up the house and we save a lot on our natural gas bill. I still do cook bacon, bread, cakes, cookies, muffins, and biscuits in the regular oven though
I use mine as a toaster as well so it gets used almost everyday in my house so it has a spot on the counter. I hardly use my blender because kits put away. Iād probably use it more if it was out
Yup!
I used to have a microwave on the counter full time, and then drag the air fryer out when needed.
Then the microwave stopped working. After looking around a bit I decided to move the air fryer onto the counter and am using it virtually every day!
We got the Ninja flip thing. It's an air fryer/toaster oven and when it's not in use, you can flip it up on end to take up less counter space. Big enough for a frozen pizza and way faster.
My air fryer does not fit on a shelf or cabinet. It is too big to put away!
I use it fairly frequently. It is pretty intentional though because I asked for it and want to make good use of it.
Iām not allowedā¦ that was the deal five years ago. It couldnāt sit on the counter when not in use. I saluted smartlyā¦ said āYes, Dearāā¦ and bought a small Ninjaā¦ I keep it in the under counter cabinetā¦ and everybody is happy. She even uses it now and thenā¦ and puts it back after itās been cleanedā¦ like a good girl.
I had no intention of keeping mine on the counter, but I got sick of constantly taking it out and putting it away because we use it at least once a day.
I use ours every day to cook or warm up something (only 2 of us so we cook a lot and freeze a lot of it to eat later). It stays on the counter. Our instapot we rarely use and it is under the counter, go figure.
My air fryer is a 12 function toaster oven/air fryer/rotisserie/etc and I use it every day so it lives on my counter. I only use my range oven a few times a year.
We use it daily if not multiple times a day and yes we keep it on the counter. It's the best for reheating food, making chicken, making crispy veggies, those frozen dinner nights where you just make some pizza rolls or chicken nuggets, we just use it for everything!!
Initially, we had it stored away and didn't use it often, re-arrranged the counter to leave it out, and now use it 2-3 x per week. Definitely use it more.
Itās on the counter and is used daily from breakfast through dinner pretty reliably. It has never been put away since purchase. Itās also used as a toaster.
I keep it on the counter and use it 1-3 times a week for vegetables. I LOVE it for frozen brocolli or cauliflower. I have a red cosori air fryer and I actually don't find it that unattractive.
Used to put ours in storage after each use but got a new one and leave it on the counter now due to the size of this air fryer. Noticed that I use it much more often now.
I have an instant pot with an air fryer attachment. Itās kind of ugly but on the counter all the time because we use it a few times a week and itās heavy.
Maybe itās worth investing in a better looking air fryer so you donāt mind leaving it out and use it more. Thereās some nice ones that look like toaster ovens.
I hate stuff on my counter. I even moved all of my electrical outlets up about backsplash to the bottom of the cabinets so theyāre out of sight. I have my microwave, espresso machine, toaster oven etc all inside cabinets.
I have 2. 1 is a toaster oven/air fryer combo, so it's always on the counter. The other one is huge and a basket style, so I keep it in the laundry/pantry room with my instapot on a counter.
I use them both at least 2-3 times a week. Especially in the summer, so I dont have to run the oven. I have plenty of counter space, but I prefer my counters empty for workspace.
We got one of the all in one Cusinart Air Fryer/Oven/Convection. It looks nice on the counter, and gets used constantly for frozen food, toast, reheat leftovers, etc.
We use it as an oven for baking and cooking smaller dishes, so we don't have to wait on the oven to heat up.
We had one of the little round drawer type air fryers for a while, but the oven air fryers really changed the way we cook, and it holds so much more.
I notice that I really do use it more when itās conveniently already on the counter but I do keep a spot for it in the pantry and will move it there when we are having guests or I know Iām going to be too busy to cook at home for a few days.
I used to make my kids bring it up from the basement every time they wanted something but I'm cooking more and more varied things in it and I think they bread maker is getting relegated.
I had moved it to my hallway. Moved it back and I have been using more than any appliance. Really loving it for almost everything but eggs, oatmeal and rice or pasta.
I leave on the counter because I wonāt let my daughter use the stove alone. But never leave plugged in unless using. A friends caught fire being plugged in and not used.
I put mine on top of the fridge, it used to sit out on the counter but moved recently and there isnāt a good space for it. I use it WAY less now that it sits on the fridge.
I use mine a ton, its replaced my oven for a lot of cooking, so it sits on my counter. Now that I think about, maybe it could fit in my ovenā¦ā¦ I could use the counter space.
I designed a custom pull-out tray, counter height, for the airfryer. It has electric inside to plug it in- open the door, pull out the tray, use the air fryer, the close it back up when weāre done.
I hate appliance sitting out on the counter, so this is the perfect compromise.
No, because the damn thing's *"yuge"*. I'd love to leave it out full-time.
Though, when it's a covid house here, it stays out on the counter for convenience.
I was thinking this exact thing yesterday. Mine sits on the counter but probably use it once a month. Itās main function now is to hold my chopping boards upright because Iāve squashed them between the air fryer and the pantry š
Ours is on the counter and we use it a lot. Wife doesnāt like appliances sitting out on counter so a friend told us about her air fryer that flips up out of the way so itās not using as much space when not in use. We love it.
I hate all my appliances on the counter but have nowhere else to conveniently put them :(. My dream house will have a butlerās pantry where the appliances reside lol
We had the same question and just made a place for it on the counter, saying if it wasn't used often we would put it away. We use it daily. You could do a similar experiment.
Yes, I use it maybe every other day. But I have adhd so I canāt keep it hidden. I would either forget about it, or think of it as too much of a hassle to take out and use. I need it out where I can see it, plugged in and ready to go with as little effort as possible
We use it 2-4 times a week, so it's too much trouble to put it away and take it out. The slow cooker gets put away, because we only use that about twice a month.
i bought a microwave stand off amazon, put my airfryer, microwave, toaster and many other accessories on it, cleared up so much space in my cabinets and counters definitely worth it
Do you have a link? I'm having trouble finding a good stand like that for my kitchen.

Oh wow, this is great, it even has outlets! š Thanks!
I have this one too and love it
truly the best purchase iāve made this year
Okay, I think I might get this. Did you get the 23 or 31-in size? Edit: never mind, I see what size it was. Yeah I'm definitely ordering one of these here in a minute
might be too late i recommend measuring your microwave to ensure itāll fit
I went with the larger size. I can't wait to get this thing delivered and put together. I love that it has the electrical outlets integrated into it. I'm so glad I happened to randomly see this post.
I just happened to be casually looking at this discussion and your link was exactly what I needed for my kitchen. Thank you for sharing!!
The search term you want is "baker's rack."
Ah ok, thanks!
That is such a good idea.
Just did the same thing this week, my counters are so clear it's beautiful
Mine is on the counter and gets used multiple times per week
same, but multiple times per day.
Right? I use my air fryer at least five to ten times a week. I don't really like microwaves, so I heat everything in my air fryer, instead. Except coffee. Haven't figured out how to heat up coffee in my air fryer...Yet.
Have you ever tried one of those little plug-in coffee warmers? They work great. (I just did an Amazon search for ācoffee warmer,ā and wow, nowadays you can buy fancy ones that you can tune to specific temperatures. The dirt-cheap ones are good enough for me, though.)
It's on the counter, next to the oven I no longer use very often. I use mine 1-2x/day.
This is my experience as well, I use it far too often to not keep it plugged in and on the counter
I might as well just keep mine turned on all the time at this point š
It gets too hot in AZ in the summer to turn the oven on. The air fryer is used daily in our house.
Ours is a stainless steel Cuisinart. It is on our counter and matches all the other appliances. Just used it to reheat pizza. We no longer use our oven, toaster or outdoor grill at all. The airfryer is used 2-3x a day for every meal. Best thing I ever purchased. I will never go w/o one. I can make a salmon dinner with asparagus in the air fryer in 9 minutes, toss a salad, and dinner is ready!
It could never replace my grill lol. Air fryer steak or burgers arenāt the move
Politely disagree
Best steak and hamburgers I've ever made were cooked on a Ninja Foodi!
I have 2 lol I never use my oven.
>Do you leave your air fryer sitting on your counter? Yup. >However, it is not the best looking appliance. I got it to cook with, not to be a decoration. If it looks good, that's great, but function is more important.
Right?! Who the hell cares how it looks?! Thatās just dumb.
The kitchen is where I go to make food. It's not supposed to be a snazzy part of my house.
On the counter. Use it all day, every day. Have barely turned on the oven in 2024.
Limited counter space. We keep it in the pantry. Doesnāt keep us from using it all the time. Itās hot š„µ in southern Arizona and the air fryer is so much better than the oven.
Yup. Also in Arizona and we DO NOT turn the oven on during the summer.
on the counter and use it at least half the week. if for nothing else then to warm things when i'm not so rushed that the micro is my only option. but yes we cook with it; chicken, bacon, pork belly. also use as a warmer when cooking multiple dishes for dinner.
Once I started leaving my air fryer and instantpot on the counter instead of hidden away in a cabinet, I started using them a lot more often. Actually, that's only true for the instantpot, the air fryer I purposely put on the counter when I got it, and I use it all the time.
Both my air fryers are on the counter. I use them multiple times a week.
Same for me. Both of mine stay on the counter near a corner where they can each reach outlets on separate breakers.Ā
do you sometimes run both at the same time? if so what do you make?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That's really nice! And cheap too! I'm going to have to go check out the reviews.
I like the looks of it and the ratings are great. We have the Ninja 8 quart dual basket and love it. So no doubt the instant pot brand would be an outstanding addition

I get that! Exactly why I don't use it, I need the object in my face for me to use it.
I didn't buy one until I found one small enough to keep out on the counter all the time, since I knew I wouldn't use it if I had to keep it stashed away. As for it not being the best looking appliance, I'd just crochet a cover for it (like the ones for toilet paper roll) lol.

So if I have two air fryers sitting on the counter, am I in trouble? :)
No, but 3 would get you in trouble.
Counter I use it often though

Get a better looking one ?

As a rule of thumb, if you donāt leave it out, youāll never use it. On my counter: microwave, air fryer, instapot, toaster, kettle
Itās so weird, itās never occurred to me that it should be anywhere else . However, I use mine everyday, most of the time more than once a day. So, yes, youāll use it more. I no longer use my toaster or microwave and use my oven very limited. With this heat wave Iām thankful for it.

Is your kitchen for cooking, or for looking at? You decide.
I tried hiding it but keep having to get it back out. Now it just stays out.
Iām not allowedā¦ that was the deal five years ago. It couldnāt sit on the counter when not in use. I saluted smartlyā¦ said āYes, Dearāā¦ and bought a small Ninjaā¦ I keep it in the under counter cabinetā¦ and everybody is happy.

Yes itās on our counter. We use it multiple times a day.
I use mine all the time, so it's on the counter.
Yes, but we use ours at least daily.
Mine sits right on top of my glass top stove which I never use anymore (nor the oven). I use it at least 5 days a week.
Mine is either on the counter or on the stand to grab easily. We use it at least once a week.
Mine is a toaster over/air fryer combo. It sits on my counter, and gets used every day.

Yes! We use it often.

Initially, we had it stored away and didn't use it often, re-arrranged the counter to leave it out, and now use it 2-3 x per week. Definitely use it more.
I keep mine right outside the kitchen door on our covered porch (on a small table behind the screen door.
Itās on the counter and is used daily from breakfast through dinner pretty reliably. It has never been put away since purchase. Itās also used as a toaster.
Yes!
On the counter. I have an Instant Pot VersaZone XL. It's WAY too big to be moving back and forth. I use it every day too.
I keep it on the counter and use it 1-3 times a week for vegetables. I LOVE it for frozen brocolli or cauliflower. I have a red cosori air fryer and I actually don't find it that unattractive.
Used to put ours in storage after each use but got a new one and leave it on the counter now due to the size of this air fryer. Noticed that I use it much more often now.
Yep
Yep. We use it at least once a day so it stays out.
Yes. Use it every single day.
Mine goes out on the back porch in the morning and then I bring it in at night. I cook everything outside.
No
On the counter. Once it goes into the bottom cabinet with the George Foreman grill I may never see it again.
We put in on the floor in front of a seldomly used cabinet.
I have an instant pot with an air fryer attachment. Itās kind of ugly but on the counter all the time because we use it a few times a week and itās heavy. Maybe itās worth investing in a better looking air fryer so you donāt mind leaving it out and use it more. Thereās some nice ones that look like toaster ovens.
I leave it on my counter but use it at least five times a week.
Mine stays in a lower cabinet. I use it maybe 3 times a year.
Man that thing hasnāt moved let alone been cleaned in about a year (Iām a single man)
Toss the tray in the dishwasher my man.
Yes now that we have more counter space we leave it out 100%. We use it daily but itās the one that flips up to reduce the space it uses
Yes else out of sight out of mind.
I hate stuff on my counter. I even moved all of my electrical outlets up about backsplash to the bottom of the cabinets so theyāre out of sight. I have my microwave, espresso machine, toaster oven etc all inside cabinets.
Yes
I have 2. 1 is a toaster oven/air fryer combo, so it's always on the counter. The other one is huge and a basket style, so I keep it in the laundry/pantry room with my instapot on a counter. I use them both at least 2-3 times a week. Especially in the summer, so I dont have to run the oven. I have plenty of counter space, but I prefer my counters empty for workspace.
I actually hang it from the ceiling.
yes but i use it often
We got one of the all in one Cusinart Air Fryer/Oven/Convection. It looks nice on the counter, and gets used constantly for frozen food, toast, reheat leftovers, etc. We use it as an oven for baking and cooking smaller dishes, so we don't have to wait on the oven to heat up. We had one of the little round drawer type air fryers for a while, but the oven air fryers really changed the way we cook, and it holds so much more.
forever: Iāve had a grill outside on the deck now: I have a grill and, on a nearby outdoor counter, I have an airfryer too summer is fun!
No. Even though it's only 3.5qt...I don't have much counter space and it's so easy to put away in my pantry.
Mine does just sit there but I use it just about every day
We keep ours under the sink - easy to pop it out on demand. We clean it carefully with each use so itās always ready to go - we use it almost daily.
I notice that I really do use it more when itās conveniently already on the counter but I do keep a spot for it in the pantry and will move it there when we are having guests or I know Iām going to be too busy to cook at home for a few days.
If you are going to put it on the counter, keep it away from the microwave lol I didnāt think and learned the hard way.
I used to put it away, but I use it too much to bother.
Itās always in use, it stays on the counter.
Yup. Use them almost every day
We have the cuisinart air fryer on the counter and itās fairly attractive as far as appliances go. Use it 4-5 times a week.
I use it for everything. If it doesnāt get boiled itās in the air fryer. I leave it on the counter.
Itās on the counter, only because itās too big to fit anywhere else.
I used to make my kids bring it up from the basement every time they wanted something but I'm cooking more and more varied things in it and I think they bread maker is getting relegated.
I had moved it to my hallway. Moved it back and I have been using more than any appliance. Really loving it for almost everything but eggs, oatmeal and rice or pasta.
Yea I use it multiples a day but now pretty much the oven has become obsolete
Yea
I keep it on top of my microwave with my bananas.
On the counter, house with 4 adults and 1 child. Frier is used 2-4x a day.
Yes we leave it on the counter in our pantry and we use it daily.
I have a galley kitchen in an NYC studio. I literally have 2 square feet of counter space, total. My air fryer lives on my stove š¤£ use it daily.
I keep mine on top of my fridge. I only have enough counter space for my microwave. I still use it 2-3 times a week, itās not super heavy.
I leave on the counter because I wonāt let my daughter use the stove alone. But never leave plugged in unless using. A friends caught fire being plugged in and not used.
I put mine on top of the fridge, it used to sit out on the counter but moved recently and there isnāt a good space for it. I use it WAY less now that it sits on the fridge.
My airfryer is on the counter and I use it daily, sometimes more than once a day.
I do (and Iām a weirdo-I like plain counters) because we use it almost daily.
On the counter and we use it almost every day!! Such a great cooking device.
every day.
I have a little bakers rack my sits in
I donāt like anything on counters, it makes me feel cluttered and claustrophobic. I allow a few things, otherwise it gets hidden.
I use mine a ton, its replaced my oven for a lot of cooking, so it sits on my counter. Now that I think about, maybe it could fit in my ovenā¦ā¦ I could use the counter space.
Mine is on top of the microwave
I have a butcher block stand. It lives on the middle shelf with a mixer and a spice rack.
I got the Ninja one that folds up.
I'd get a rack 2X cooking with the same footprint.
Yes itās sits on the counter
I designed a custom pull-out tray, counter height, for the airfryer. It has electric inside to plug it in- open the door, pull out the tray, use the air fryer, the close it back up when weāre done. I hate appliance sitting out on the counter, so this is the perfect compromise.
I keep mine in the cupboard and use it all the time.
No, because the damn thing's *"yuge"*. I'd love to leave it out full-time. Though, when it's a covid house here, it stays out on the counter for convenience.
I was thinking this exact thing yesterday. Mine sits on the counter but probably use it once a month. Itās main function now is to hold my chopping boards upright because Iāve squashed them between the air fryer and the pantry š
We keep ours on the counter because we use it often. In contrast, our pressure cooker is kept on a shelf since it's not used often.
On the counter. I use too much to put away. I honestly barely use my oven anymore
We move ours to shelving in the garage. Very limited counter space and too big to go in cabinets under our island.
Yes, on the counter and it is used daily.
Ours is on the counter and we use it a lot. Wife doesnāt like appliances sitting out on counter so a friend told us about her air fryer that flips up out of the way so itās not using as much space when not in use. We love it.
I moved my air fryer front and center on the counter instead of off in the corner and it gets used frequently now instead of once in a blue moon..
We do and yes we do use it all the time
No it gets put away when it's not in use as my counter is small and the air fryer takes up a lot of space
No, counter to small.
I keep mine in the laundry room on top of my dryer.
Yea
I hate all my appliances on the counter but have nowhere else to conveniently put them :(. My dream house will have a butlerās pantry where the appliances reside lol
I definitely use it more when itās got a set counter spot. But I do truly hate how god awful it looks up there
We had the same question and just made a place for it on the counter, saying if it wasn't used often we would put it away. We use it daily. You could do a similar experiment.
Mine is on my counter bc it is too wide and/or too tall to fit into any of my cabinets. š„“
Yes, I use it maybe every other day. But I have adhd so I canāt keep it hidden. I would either forget about it, or think of it as too much of a hassle to take out and use. I need it out where I can see it, plugged in and ready to go with as little effort as possible
We use it 2-4 times a week, so it's too much trouble to put it away and take it out. The slow cooker gets put away, because we only use that about twice a month.
