Sure you can call a traditional convection oven an air fryer. Its just a very under powered air fryer which produces underwhelming results when used as an air fryer. Easier then to accept that its not an air fryer. Or u can accept it as a really crappy air fryer.

Still have mine in the basement somewhere!
I've owned a Vortex XL and while it might have cooked faster, it was extremely limited in functionality for how large it was. Plus no viewing window and the cleaning of the drawer was tedious.
If my current Chefman was on the fritz I would consider this one as a replacement... Not focusing on the marketing and instead on the functionality, there are several benefits to be had. Try it out if you haven't had one and can fit this on your counter.
My fan on the turbo oven is making noises now, not spinning as fast and likely on the last leg so might get this...

This thing is used almost daily a few times a day, as well as making fried fish.
We have also bought a rotating basket and used it for veggies and fries.
Also done a few chickens with this and roasted turkey breast on the rotisserie.
Wife loves this thing.
Posted about the basket I got on this post

I had to ditch a 1800 watt air frier because it kept tripping the breaker. A lot of kitchen receptacles are rated at 15a and 1700 to 1800w is pushing it.
It has a large fan in the top above the top heating element. When set to "air fry" the fan spins up at a very high rate and the bottom heating element turns off. When set to "convection" both heating elements are on and the fan spins at a much slower rate. The air fry setting forces a large volume of super heated air directly onto the food, whereas the convection setting mostly works to even out the temperature everywhere in the toaster oven. It's essentially an air fryer in the form of a toaster oven since most convection only toaster ovens have a small fan on the side to circulate air and have no ability to direct heated air at food.
When I was shopping for a combo unit, all the toaster ovens I looked at that specifically said "air fryer" and "convection" where built in the same way.

My wife "upgraded" our small oven to something similar like this with the fancy french doors. It's got to be one of the most annoying gadgets to use because not only does the area in front of the door have to be clear for you to open the oven, but on ours the french doors will NOT stay open on its own unless the doors are wide open at 180 degrees. You can pull out the tray to prop the doors open but that requires using something to pull the hot tray unless you want to burn yourself. I often have no need to pull that out just for a couple slices of toast.
I personally just don't see any benefits of having french doors on a small oven. It's more hassle than it's worth in my opinion.
