Air "Fryer" is a misnomer, imho. Have never tried toasting bread in it.
I keep mine in a bottom cabinet because the unit is tall but fairly narrow.

Was just thinking–if they work a lot maybe a crockpot would be useful? There's nothing like coming home from a long shift and having a pot roast ready, especially in the cold months.
