    Having no experience with a full sized convection oven I believe air fryers are faster since they are smaller. Also, they’re cheaper and more apartment friendly than full-sized convection ovens so I’d argue they’re not useless, just serve a slightly different purpose.

      I wasn’t trying to imply that they are useless. Just that as far as the food you make in them is concerned, it’s just a smaller convection oven.

      Convection ovens are just as fast because of how they work. There’s basically no heat up time. They just use a lot more energy to do the same thing.
