[Electronics-Talk] Air fryer/oven

[Gerald Levy]

As long as the unit is rated for 1500 watts or less, a standard, 3 prong 
outlet should be okay.  Note that some Brava units are rated as high as 
1800 watts, which would probably require a separate outlet to prevent 
current overload.  And also keep in mind that Brava smart cookers  are 
expensive, with some models costing as much as $2000.  There are cheaper 
units on the market from other brands that are probably comparable, but 
regardless of cost, they all appear to have touchscreen keypads and none 
that I have come across has tactile keys, although a few models do have 
voice command capability, so be sure that the unit you choose is 
reasonably accessible.
