I have one that's a combination air fryer / toaster oven. It works good. If you like fried chicken, you can do it with minimal effort and although it's not quite as good as the deep fried version, it's close enough to be worth the enormous difference in effort and cleanup. You can also reheat restaurant appetizers that normally get soggy in the microwave, like shrimp tempura or french fries. Any kind of lazy frozen food is totally brainless, you don't even need to add oil. Like I have a bag of frozen breaded shrimp and I just toss them in there for 10 minutes and they're good to go.
I've also cooked stuff like bacon-wrapped scallops in there and supposedly it's good at cooking vegetables too, although I still just use the oven or stovetop for that.
Mine also has a rotisserie attachment, but that part of it is a gimmick because the thing is barely big enough to fit a chicken inside, so it ends up flopping all over everything and it's gross. The chicken is really good that way, but it's not worth having to deep clean the toaster oven afterward.
