It’s all ‘air fryer’ this and ‘air fryer’ that and I can’t be arsed to wash the fucker! I don’t have a dishwasher which may be clouding my judgement, somewhat.

I like mine it is just a mini oven really, i don't dish wash mine it would eventually take the coating off, they are easy to hand-wash , nobody is forcing you to have one

You can use silicone inserts? Or use the airfryer sprays to help clean?

I don't have a conventional oven, I only have an air fryer that I use most days.
I also don't have a dishwasher. I fill mine with soapy water when it needs cleaning and do it that way with no issue.

They are incredibly easy to wash. You don't have to use one - run free with your oven.

Prefer the oven - it cooks more evenly. The air fryer is still handy though when you want to want to cook something small.

I always use baking paper or a container so don't have to wash it every time.

I was an airfryer sceptic until I was bought one as a gift; now I use it several times a week and rarely use my oven.

I also don't have a dishwasher; I use silicone inserts which makes cleaning easy. I just wipe down the interior with a soapy cloth.

I don’t put ours in the dishwasher as soon as I take the food out while it’s still hot and before we eat I squirt some washing up liquid in the baskets and hot water and then leave to soak while we eat. Any sticky food bits have mostly come off and I just give it a quick scrub with a scrub daddy sponge and leave to drip dry on an old towel on the counter.
