This revelation is alarming to many people who own the appliance and often find themselves relying on it for its healthy and quick cooking methods compared to deep frying and a conventional oven. Air fryer brands, like Xiaomi, sent personal data to servers in China, although this was flagged in the privacy notice.

Air fryers magically turn ordinary food into crispy, juicy snacks or dinners. I make wings, whole chicken, salmon filets and last night's pizza in the countertop cooker. Not all foods taste great when they're subjected to the air fryer's powerful heat.
