    If I got an oven with grill and fan forced, do I really need an air-fryer?

    I don’t see an overwhelming reason to be honest.

      You don’t need it. You won’t get the same end result with your setup, but if you don’t feel like you’re missing anything there’s no reason to get one.

        So they’re for… Small meals, fast(er)meals (frozen is still a quick meal), and … those people without a normal oven?

          Well… kind of? I have a normal oven, but still appreciate my air fryer. The quality of breaded or fried foods is better than a normal oven, and I use less energy. The difference isn’t big enough to make it a completely different thing, but it’s there.
