A few years ago the boss lady just had to have one and after using it a couple of times it sits on the counter unused and gathering dust.
We have a convection oven cooking range, in 15 some years, I have used the convection setting once, on purpose.
She accidentilly hit the convection oven setting some months back, when I was not here, and was not happy with how it cooked what ever she cooked, of course, she told me she thought some thing was wrong with the oven because it made an odd noise etc., etc., so I told her that was the convection setting.
I do not like cooking in a micro-wave, so I usually cook with the regular oven, or fry stuff in oil.
I have one of those old school, miniture oven/coffee makers/hot pads in my house down South, and I rarely use that. I cooked some canned beans on the hot pad last month (safety feature, it only runs for 15 minutes) it works ok.
IF, if I/we had an air-fryer, it would end up like some other new cooking gizmos she got, sit unused, some still in the box.
We have two slow-cookers, rarely used, and another one in the box, in the basement (why the third one,
? ) so I though about taking it down South but got smart, and dug out the very old school, 1960s, slow-cooker- deep fat fryer. It still works great and can cook from 200 degrees to 450 degrees.
My one cousin, has an eight by eight three season porch.
He has been most fortunate going to casinos, literally it got to the point he never spent money there he did not win at a casino, BUT, in one full corner of his porch, stacked chest high, are boxes of mostly cooking stuff the casinos give away if you have enough points, probably some where in that pile is an Air Fryer.
