So you automatically assume that what costs more, works better?

Consider which one pays more for advertising, which one is made out
of mostly plastic, and which is made of mostly metal. Also ask
yourself why an air fryer would cost more considering the
construction of both the toaster oven and the air fryer (like why do
most toaster oven have four elements, while the air fryer only has
one).

If you have an air fryer that's so great at what it does, why aren't
you using it for fries and tots in the first place?!?!
