They are good for quick small batch stuff, but way less efficient than modern fan oven for anything bigger. Once you run for long enough to mitigate heating the ovens larger thermal mass, oven always wins.

I haven’t used my oven at all since I got the air fryer.

Oven still gets the last laugh when you learn what air fryers are

And as he says in that video, air fryers are much better at making things crispy quickly
Turns out you don’t need such a huge amount of empty space for a lot of things and once you get rid of it, it works much better
Though the name is still stupid. There’s no frying going on

Literally just the old school stove top burner turned upside down with a fan on it, for the one I own.
