Anyone got any experience with this fryer? Sam's has them on sale and been looking to grab one and wondering if it any good.

That air fryer consumes 1700 watts of power while in use. This comes to 14.17 amps, which may cause problems if all your kitchen outlets are on 15 amp breakers. Most local codes follow the NEC guidelines of not exceeding 80% of your breaker rating, so technically you'd need a 20 amp circuit to use this oven in your kitchen. A 20 amp circuit requires 12 gauge wire. Your kitchen may or may not have outlets wired with 12 gauge wire, depending on how old the house is.

I got this Charbroil no oil propane air fryer. It works great.

I'd certainly go with a propane powered air fryer over those counter top electric ovens, but then all the circuits in my kitchen are 15 amp!

I have the 360 single door we bought 5 years ago. I love it. It's very versatile.

I’ve had one for a while that I bought from Costco. It’s great.

A 20 amp circuit requires 12 gauge wire. Your kitchen may or may not have outlets wired with 12 gauge wire, depending on how old the house is.
The 80% rule only applies to continuous loads and ovens are not considered continuous loads so a 15 amp circuit with nothing else pulling current would be fine and meet code.
Reasonably modern houses will have at least two 20 amp small appliance circuits (NEC minimum) usually a multiwire branch circuit. They are usually easy to spot since they have to be GFCI protected so the kitchen countertops will have two sets (usually alternating) of outlets with each set being protected with a GFCI outlet at the beginning of the run. AFCI is also NEC required now but that is a much newer requirement.
