Air fryer how many kwh to cook a ............................

I'm tempted with an air fryer but cannot find any costing as in how much in kwh they use to cook a 1.8kg chicken or 0.7kg of chips, lots of oh it's cut my bills/ it uses less power than my oven etc  & it's much more efficient , but no costings.
For example
Cooked 0.7kg of chips in my  5l 3kw  faux commercial deep fat fryer .at the same time cooked 4 fried eggs in a 30cm pan on the induction hob & heated a tins worth on beans in the microwave & warmed 2 plates ( all ready at the same time & delicious by the way )  , grand total of 1kwh.
Cooked a 1.8kg chicken in the combi oven, nice crispy skin 43 mins & 1.6 kwh.
2 x med jacket pots in combi oven 25 mins & 1kwh. ( doing 3 or 4 doesn't use much extra )

How do my costs stack up compared to an air fryer & would the savings by switching even pay back. Hmmmm

    Check the consumption at various temperatures - a 1.8kg chicken should be around an hour at 180 degC - then do the sums using your electricity rate.

    Thanks but i'm not sure any manufacturer would state consumption to maintain a certain temp as it would depend on the contents, what i'm after is real world kwh usage not a guestimate as i think it's a close call between waht i have & what i could save with an air fryer.
