I don't know why are you so against an air fryer. Not all apartments in some countries come with ovens. It's a great device and many people love it. I get this impression you are just minmaxing it without trying it.
Saved me from having to get massages. I use it for my neck from sitting at the computer all day. It's also been useful for super random things like punching cushions outside or some random thing. I've seen someone use it to help them sift flour easily.
I upgraded to the M1 air and it's the difference between night and day. The air on an M1 can do all my heavy development work no problems and I also don't have a loud fan anymore.
