I think the air fryer appliance was designed to sell more small appliances.

Don't get me wrong, I adore my air fryer and own a big stupid oversized Ninja air fryer with a grill grate in it that my family uses daily.

But IMO the air fryer is very modern and was designed from the start to be a consumable product and I'm sure my Ninja will die within the next few years.

I've also thought about bying a new oven with air fryer functionality built it, but my spouse pointed out that I'll have to buy a whole new oven when that breaks...

That's the feeling I get about a lot of these smart applicances, kinda starting around the time of the instant pot fad. I love my instant pot though, and it's lasted years. But in terms of repairability, I don't know what I'd do with it if some internal electronics stopped working
