Should you buy an air fryer? I bought a Ninja Dual Zone Air Fryer, and this is what I think

Is a Ninja Dual Zone Air Fryer worth the money?.
I spent over a year deliberating over whether or not to buy an air fryer. I despise unused kitchen equipment that takes up room on my counters and though the draw of chips that tasted just like they had come from a chipper - but without the oil - was strong, I wasn't buying into it. My oven is the workhorse of my home. It is used from morning until late at night, creaking its way into the day with pastries and rolls for school and brown bread, meandering into lunch with some kind of roasted vegetable situation and then dinner - well, dinner is a whole discussion in itself.
I made my own cross on which I am perishing, so understand that when I explain how food works in my home - I know how much extra work I am putting on myself. In our family of four, there is a vegetarian (me), a non-vegetable-eating adult (my husband), white-food mostly eater and a child who eats everything. This means that most nights, I cook several dinner options. I am clever about it, and I cook smart, using one thing two or three times, picking one bedrock ingredient for all meals - I have picked up all the tools of the trade.
