I guess I'm treating my bedroom more like a dorm room. If I hook up my air fryer and mini fridge to the same outlet will I trip the breaker? I also have my gaming PC hooked up to the other outlet in my room. The house is pretty old but last year I think they updated the circuit breaker for the house.

Mini fridge is very low power. Not really a concern.

check the breaker for the room? breaker usually says max amperage on it.

if you live in the us that's 110v x amps = max wattage your devices should be pulling.

20a gives you 2200 watts, so if your pc uses like 600w~ at full tilt, small airfryers usually do 1000w~. And modern mini fridges do about 60w~.

TLDR: You could be kind of stretching it or be beyond it, but highly depends on your PC and what you typically do with it.

Should be OK. Maybe don't game while the air fryer is running just to be safe.

Most of the standard living area circuits are going to be 15A = ~1600W.

The 20A are usually reserved for kitchen / laundry appliances (they are the round outlets as opposed to the standard 2-prong + ground).
