Convection microwave ovens have been a presence in the market for some time and individuals love to use it for baking or roasting. Air fryers run in a similar way to that of a convection oven. The only difference between them is that in the air fryer, the potent fan helps the hot air circulation faster in a small space. This is the reason because of which the cooking time gets reduced. Similarly, in a convection microwave oven, the fans help for even heat distribution to cook the food. We prefer it for cooking breaded fried food such as nuggets, mozzarella sticks, etc. Also, it has a cooking basket whereas you will need to use a wire rack in a convection oven. If you want something handy, then an air fryer will be a better choice.
