I am in the market for one as well. I found KitchenAid makes an induction stove top with convection and Air fry oven. kitchenaid.com/…/p.30-inch-4-element-induction-sl…?

This does have “convection bake” vs “convection roast”, so I still need to understand what distinction they’re making
I’ll figure it out as I cook more. I do have a countertop air fryer that I was hoping to get rid of (I need the counter space) that I used a lot for chicken breasts and stuff. But the ultimate test is tofu. I’ve never been able to make tofu right so if I can use the convection oven to get the right consistency, I’m golden

I actually did see this as one of my choices - looks nice, fits my requirements better than the one I got, and is $1500 cheaper!
But that stupid horizontal display is stupid. It meant the range sticks out an extra inch or more and I really couldn’t do that in my kitchen. It also means smaller burner space than the one I got - it doesn’t need to be much but a little extra room to move pans around rather than crowd them

Yeah, air fryer has significantly more airflow than a additional convection oven, and the fan is right behind the hearing element instead of on the sidewall.
It delivers heat and circulates it more effectively. An oven with proper “air fryer” function usually has multiple of large fans that go above the heating element.
