to my knowledge, the difference between an air fryer and a convection toaster oven is that the air fryer has a stronger fan. either way, with mine (it was called an air fryer on the box at the big box store) you can choose whether the fan is on or off.
we rarely use our actual oven now since the countertop thing works so much faster.

That’s kinda cool! Most don’t do that.
As far as differences Alec at Technology Connections has a solid video pointing it out better. It’s more about the ratios involved between fan, element size, and volume of area to cook within. The result is basically the ratio skewed absurdly in the favor of air friers over ovens, plus putting out less total heat. So stronger fan is part of the equation at least!
