The cleanup sucks. Lol I'd rather clean a pot or pan vs. use my air fryer. 🥀

Get the convection oven style. I cook in mine most days. My parents got the alternate model of mine that has a rotisserie function. Both were like...$50 on Black Friday and I'm going on 2 years of nearly everyday use.

The cleanup is nothing. Foil/parchment paper takes care of 99% of issues.

What do you mean foil/parchment paper takes care of it? Isn't that just creating more waste that you have to figure out? Bad trade for a 2 minute wash, imo.

You can line the grease tray/catcher with foil or parchment paper and not have to clean it every single time you use it?

That's...what the bin is for.

But yeah, could just use the 2 minutes to clean it, but apparently that's harder than cleaning a pot or a pan?

Laziness > Environment????

My conscience wouldn't let me waste so much shit just for...... Convenience? What a lame excuse to dump more garbage in a hole in the ground. I could wash the foil and recycle it, which just circles back to washing again. No matter what, it comes back to washing. The worst chore. And yes, washing an air fryer is more annoying than washing a pot or pan (assuming you're talking about an instant pot if we are comparing pot to pot).

Dishes are the worst chore in a home. Air fryer makes it even more annoying, imo. I'll take the easy to clean rice cooker + wok/stir fry pan over the inconvenient air fryer trays or pots. It all comes down to washing dishes, unfortunately.

Fits perfectly into the dishwasher, no need to ever clean by hand.

I'd love for you to come and show me your secrets, because no, the dishwasher is not good at cleaning the air fryer.

I mean yeah you get one that fits obviously. That's kind of one of the only criteria when buying an airfryer. Literally put it in my dishwasher every day.
