Glass convection oven works in exact same way as air friers. Heating element with fan on top blowing air downwards which then circulates in the glass bowl. Mine even has custom made non stick perforated plate where I put the food and it’s surface is way larger than largest air frier I’ve ever seen.

A lot of convection ovens have fan in the rear, now what?

Is that a flex? Air fryers are faster because their volume is much smaller than the traditional oven.

Air fryers cooking speed isn’t because they are small, it’s because they produce a large amount of heat compared to their volume. Being small makes that cheaper and easier to do.
Toaster ovens/convection ovens can match the same affect, although most dont. Some, do.

Glass convection oven specifically always has heater and fan on top.
Yes, it’s a “flex” because companies advertise how XXXXXL their air frier is and is still smaller than 10 years old glass convection oven that also costs 5x less.

This isn’t true. Broiling is when heat is applied from above, also known as grilling in the UK. Convection ovens move hot air all around the oven and cook things evenly from all sides. Air fryers are counter-top convection ovens.
