That is probably less work since you are only wiping a little mess each time. I would be spending an hour to scrub mine because I have never cleaned it down to the bare metal since I bought it. I just toss the trays and fat catcher tray in the dishwashers.
I seasoned my fry basket the same way that one would do a cast iron skillet. It did require a small amount of disassembly, and reassembly, but after doing the seasoning process (baking it in the oven @ 275° F caked in oil-soaked salt for 30-45 minutes, repeat as needed), I can just wipe mine out with a paper towel. The grease tray I wash each time, but that’s just cause I don’t want my fries to taste of fish.
I live alone. I can fit the same amount of stuff I would cook in my oven into my air fryer and cook it better with less electricity and less clean up.
Do you clean your entire oven every time you use it
No. But when I do it takes forever. Cleaning my air fryer takes a couple of minutes once a week.
Do you clean your air fryer every time?
Yes, every single time.

I don’t have one.
It’s just like cleaning a pan., very quick and easy.
For me, the win is the programmability. I think of it more like a microwave, where you just click a few buttons and wait for the beep
