    I’ve had experience with convection ovens too and they still suck compared to an air fryer. I have no idea if the ovens with an “air fryer” function are any different to convection or if it is just a gimmick though.

      A convection Oven means a fan in the oven to move the hot air around.

      An Air Fryer typically has a fan that moves a alot of air, and typically in a much smaller space such the super heated air moves quickly all over.

      Air Fryer gets way crispier, preheats faster(my old one took 2 minutes), doesn’t waste huge amounts of power bill, oh and bonus pounds - it shuts off when timer goes off so I don’t have to worry about ADHD brain burning food.
