The air fryer manual said preheat, I never did, big difference

I got my air fryer about 4 months ago and just skimmed the quick start card. I never preheated because who has time for that, right? Last Tuesday I was making frozen chicken tenders and my wife was taking a nap, so I actually had a minute to kill. I hit the preheat button for the first time and waited the 3 minutes it said. The tenders came out way crispier on the outside and still juicy inside, not like my usual chewy-soft mess. I checked the manual online after that and it says preheating helps with even browning and faster cook times. Now I'm wondering if I've been missing out on better results with everything else, like fries and fish sticks. Has anyone else skipped preheating and noticed a real difference after they started doing it?

Fries are the biggest upgrade honestly, once I started preheating mine they got way closer to restaurant texture.
