Sometimes marketed as AirFry microwave combos, do this things actually work as both appliances or they really just microwaves?

I assume they do both, they are different technologies. However the saying applies, “Don’t half ass two things, whole ass one thing”. Still, it’d be nice to free up counter space…
I’m not much help I know. I think they are better suited for sharing space with the oven though, since the air fryer is a very basic oven compared to a microwave.
Yeah - it’s a space and efficiency thing for me. I don’t have the counter space for a dedicated air fryer and I also don’t want to use a whole ass oven in the summer, but a small convection oven would be great. For as little as we use the microwave, I’d probably be fine with a “over the range” option as long as it as the ventilation built in like the microwaves do.
If I were in your situation, first I’d decide how long until a new oven is needed. If you’re staring down a new oven anyway, I’d go that route, most have an air fryer option that doesn’t heat the whole house and use just a drawer or something with it. However, if you’re happy with your oven, they yeah I’d look at a ton of reviews and do your homework, then I could see doing this combo unit.
Oh - a new range is on the horizon, I didn’t realize they had convection/airfry drawers though. I assumed I’d have to spring for one of those fancy split oven options to not have to heat the whole thing up. I’ll definitely keep an eye out. Thanks!
Yeah those I hear work a lot better since they’re already a convection oven, they just have better modes and ways of doing it with air fryers. Personally that’s where I’d start looking. Good luck!
