Yep, and we recently switched out our old “air fryer” to replace it with a toaster oven that has convection and an air frying mode. But it can do toaster oven stuff like bake and broil pretty well, and with a wider tray than any air fryer basket.
Our big oven is pretty good too. It has a convection fan and various modes and whatnot. The air frying toaster oven literally duplicates functions it already gives us, but it’s worth taking up a large kitchen gadget spot just for the speed and efficiency including sometimes not heating up the house. (I’m in the US, air fryers and toaster ovens use 120V 15A outlets while the oven is on 240V 30+A.)
I really want a toaster oven. just not enough to have bothered to buy one
I’ve got an air fryer that I use pretty often, but a toaster oven would be more useful to me. good to know there’s ones with convection / air frying ability now, neat
I’m lucky to have tons of counter space for gadgets. and yeah not running the oven in the summer is fantastic, as I like it cooooold in the house
