Air fryer - a vegetarian and a meat eater

I would google halogen oven rather than air fryer.  Much better.

Be aware that there are a lot of scam ads on Marketplace for ridiculously cheap air fryers, usually sold as "unwanted gift" or "still boxed". They have multiple shots of the fryer, but they all have different kitchen backgrounds/work surfaces.

Absolutely! Scammers everywhere sadly. At least on my local buy & sell pages it’s all local collection so rules out the scammers.

Oh, that’s something different. I’ll look that up before making up my mind then. Thank you!

Thanks everyone for all your input. Lots of food for thought.

I've got both - or rather had both. The halogen oven did an excellent job but has just the one function and I wanted the added flexibility a multi-cooker gives. All depends on what OP decides is worth having.

I had one for a short while before the halogen tube went and as I wasn't keen on it anyway got an air-fryer to replace it - the  halogen took up much more worktop space than the AF and depending on the type of, quite heavy, lid (lift off or flip top) either needs a lot of clearance above it or more work space beside it to, carefully, put the hot removed lid on.
Some halogens have extender rings which can make them a much larger capacity than an AF.

The choice of cookware depends on your needs. A countertop convection oven will be larger than an air fryer, but if you need to serve a large family dinner, then you need a convection oven rather than an air fryer.

For cooking food, I think a convection oven would do better, I own one and I don't need to flip the food during cooking because it has heating tubes on the top and bottom and a fan.

According to your other post, The one you own isn’t available for delivery in the uk though
