I use mine several times a week. Best use so far is to thaw and crisp up bread rolls, but does chops/sausages pretty good too. I don't do fried food or chips much. It does a reasonable job of baking small half size cakes too. The microwave is better for thawing out frozen dishes imo, and does a better job of cooking vegetables.

I've only got limited bench space, so when I realised I was going to use the airfryer a lot, I invested in a ceramic tile 60cm by 60cm, and put that on top of my 4 burner gas cooktop. Most of the time I only used 1 burner so replaced that with a single burner induction stove. The airfryer and induction stove sit side by side on top of the tile - taking up no more room than that, and leaving a generous lip at the front for spoons and to rest the airfryer basket etc.
The tile can be easily removed if I ever need more than one pot on the stove at one time.
