An air fryer, my microwave has been gathering dust ever since.

I like my air fryer, but there's certain things that a microwave just warms up better (pasta, basically anything that can dry out, etc). That said, my current apartment doesn't have a microwave so I am glad that I came in with an air fryer

Combination is the best way.

Want to reheat a pizza slice? Microwave for half a minute/minute then in the air fryer to crisp it up. Ends up better than the first time around many times imo and done in seconds if you heat the air fryer up to 200°c first

Pasta I just put in a saucepan for 15 minutes.

Who the fuck has 15 minutes for leftovers? A microwave will do it in 60 seconds.

I know lots of people love them, but I had one for a hot minute and found it totally pointless. I have an oven and a toaster oven, and for me it did not fit what I use the microwave for.

afaik a convection oven is just a large air fryer so yeah kind of pointless except the air fryer is possibly quicker to heat

Air fryers should be significantly faster (they're optimized for that), plus they seem to be way cheaper and more readily available.
