It is a small efficient oven that is easy to use.

It is great to re-heat food and the texture of the re-heated food is a lot better than a microwave.

It's great for breaded food and takes a lot less time than a conventional oven since it heats up pretty much instantly.

For example, when I make Parmigiana Chicken, if I do it the air fryer, it takes about 15 minutes overall cooking time, including melting the cheese to a golden crips texture. If I use my conventional convection oven, it takes 10 minutes just to heat-up.

It is also easy to clean.

It does not replace the conventional oven for everything, but it does a lot of things faster with the same result. It's a big boon.
