Where did the recent air fryer trend come from anyway? (startrek.website)

I have a nice convection toaster oven, which I think is a bit more versatile for the counter space it takes than an air fryer. On convection mode it does a good job moving the air around and I can cook stuff following the air fryer directions, and I don't have to heat up a giant metal box with three racks.

My parents have had an air-frying capable oven of decades. They also paid a lot, lot more than what the typical air-fryer costs for it.

Cheap convection ovens do a poor job at moving the heat around, the "pulsated" heat function is mostly a marketing gimmick. Great convection ovens are doing a much better job but they are also five times the price.
