Sometimes it's better to have a smaller unit with less counterspace
footprint.

I've looked over airfryers as suitable here because of the small
footprint and light weight so I can store it easily when not in use.
It doesnt matter if a convection oven can do better. My needs are
simpler and rather pointed to small batch needs.

So for those who have one and use it, what model would you recommend if
the total volume normally would be about 1 cup or tater tots and such?
