    Better efficiency but more importantly it heats almost instantly. Thing is like magic. No preheating for 5+ mins.

    Plus having a second oven is fucking awesome. I’m out there on thanksgiving with an oven full of turkey, baking dinner rolls on the side like an absolute gangster.

      The oven that comes with your stove is huge and it takes forever to preheat. I remember mine used to take like 20 minutes to preheat. For a lot of things that doubles the cooking time.

      A toaster oven has way less space to heat, together with the fast convection makes it heat up almost instantly and also evenly. It’s just such a huge quality of life improvement.

        I wish we had space for either one. Assuming an air fryer can grill cheese as well as a toaster oven, I’d be fine with just the latter though. I miss my toaster oven.

      Our oven literally broke (screw you fridgidaire btw) and we made thanksgiving dinner in the air fryer/ toaster oven. Even the turkey! Came out great!

          I do appreciate the irony, less so the oven that broke a year plus 3 weeks after I bought it

        Basically this for me but for christmas, the thermometer burnt out or something and caused the oven to turn into a charcoal oven, so we made the rest of the food in the air fryer
