Where did the recent air fryer trend come from anyway?

No, it's not an oven. It's a convection oven, which has existed for decades but never caught on until they were rebranded as air fryers.
What's really strange to me is that every oven and every toaster oven I've ever owned has a connection setting. So people are buying these huge space-consuming appliances to do something that they can already do with what they have in their house.
The convection is much stronger than on a regular oven, as someone who has a full sized convection oven, toaster oven with convection, and air fryer.
Also you would have to use a mesh or rack with a cookie sheet on a lower shelf to expose the bottom of the food to the moving air in your oven without drips sticking.
If you've tried both, you would see what I mean.
Can confirm. Had an oven that could 'do' convection. Didn't seem to make a difference.
Then I got an actual air fryer. Made a massive difference.
