I decided to get one. I am off to a questionable start. I did some
research and it looked like Philips was the best. I checked on line and
Canadian Tire had them on sale and the on hand stock was going down. I
tried to order one online and everything seemed to be working until I
got to the checkout and got a message that there was a problem and they
could not process the order at that time, please try again later. I
called the store and asked them to hold one for me, which they are
doing. Meanwhile, I did some online banking, checked my credit card
account and there as a charge for Canadian Tire. A few minutes later I
got an email that my order has been process. So it appears that I went
from a failed transaction to having two of them to be picked up. I could
call and tell them to forget about the one they are holding, but I don't
want to let that one go in case they other one is screwed up.

WTF are you buying kitchen appliances from a tire store???
Sounds like a rinky dink bargain basement operation, you'd have had
the unit you wanted by now had you ordered it from Amazon.

Some of those stores have the name brands at much lower prices than Amazon,
like the old Western Auto used to have, Orchard Supply, Ace Hardware etc.

I had no idea what an air fryer was, and so I had to look it up on
Wikipedia.

Im afraid I am wedded to my deep fat fryer which loves me back, and so
I cant divorce it this late in life. It even did me a lovely partridge
last week.

I divorced my deep fryer about 8 years ago after I heart surgery. It
was fun while it lasted and it was an amicable split.

I haven't cooked deep fried foods in many years, they're very
unhealthy and a waste of expensive cooking oil... there are better
ways to cook the same foods in a more healthfful manner without buying
special equipment. There's nothing an air frier can do better than I
can in an ordinary oven, or even a microwave.... nukers are excellent
at frying anything, and super fast.

That is sad news, but until the lady on the pale horse arrives I will
stick with it.

I only use it occasionally, but I have found it useful for smaller game
birds which dry out too much, for me, when roasted.

If you are happy with your deep fat fryer, then why not, I had had one for
years ))

I have been very pleased to use far less oil now and I love my air fryer and
air oven.

We checked out a house that was owned by old school Chinese guys. The place was all laid out according to the principles of fengshui. The thing I remember the most was the built in deep-fryer. We didn't get the house but I shall forever be haunted by that fryer. The deep fryer is a most wonderful appliance. It is also probably the most dangerous appliance.

I've not seen anything I've purchased at *much* lower prices than
Amazon. Sometimes Amazon does charge a couple dollars more but it
sure beats the price of gas driving around and my time wasted.
And when Amazon accepts an order it's shipped and on time. However
most times Amazan beats everyone's prices. And nothing beats shopping
from the comfort of home. My only complaint about on line shopping is
getting rid of the corrogated cartons and packing materials. Chewy's
is the worst, lots cartons and packing materials. but can't complain
about the free right to my door service and low prices.

I love the convenience of Amazon, but their prices are usually higher than
the store prices. I do agree about the excess packaging.

Amazon's prices depend a lot on what quantity you buy, one small item
can cost more than from a local market but if you buy say a six pack
it'll cost less. That's because the shipping is the same $6 for one
tube of hair gel as for six. I always try to buy in bulk quantities
and also bundle my orders, I wait until I have like 4-5 items in my
cart before placing the order, then they all arrive in the same
package and that saves on shipping.

My grandpa owned a Western Auto store and he sold toys, appliances, all
kinds of things.

Canadian Tire isn't really a tire store (though they do sell them).
It's more like a huge hardware and appliance store, with sporting
goods, toys, and a garden center thrown in for good measure.

Western Auto is a lot like TSS (Times Square Stores), was sorta like
an expanded Dollar General, sold a lot of dreck and discontinued
items. When there was no internet it was a lot more difficult to
locate lower prices. Also a lot of people refuse to buy an Amazon
Prime memembership... what they may not realize is the Prime membersip
applies to everyone in the same household.

In the wee hours of Friday morning I decided buy one of the new Ninja Foodi's.
It's been on the market about 6 months or so and after viewing many, many You-

notice it has been shipped and is supposed to be my door on Thursday, the 31st,
by the end of the day.

I'm excited and already told Charles, here, that Wednesday, when I grocery shop, I'll be picking up a package of chicken wings.
