If your oven has convection then you already have an air fryer. I usually just double whatever the recommended air fryer time is and it's great.
You do want to get a grate to put the food on though; you can't just put it on a baking sheet. It took me a few times to realize my mistake there, as obvious as it seems.
Air fryers are smaller and portable though. I don't have the space for 3 ovens. I do have the space for a small oven and air fryer with 2 compartments.
Rarely need all of them, but more than 1 or having a small one is frequently beneficial
If you have a oven, you don't need an air frier. If you just want one, that's a different story though.
I want multiple ovens, air fryer is the only realistic way of achieving that with the space I have and having essentially a micro oven is useful as it takes less power to heat up for small dishes.
Need? I mean sure, but I don't NEED to cook with electricity as I could cook over a wood fire.
