I think if you gave up fried food for health or other reasons and never really fry foods, but would still like to enjoy them and don't have a convection oven, or don't want to heat up the oven, or only want to cook for 1 or 2, you might enjoy an air fryer. If you have a convection setting on your oven you can probably "oven fry" equally well without one. If you fry foods traditionally on regular or semi regular basis and expect an air fryer to give you the same results, you might be disappointed. I occasionally toy with idea of getting one, but honestly, I keep several appliances in the basement because I am out of room in the kitchen and don't use them often enough, so I keep deciding I don't need one more.
