Yeah it is, reason the air fryers get good results is because of the wire mesh basket, using a similar pan/tray/mesh in a convection oven is the same. We have a double convection oven and air fry/convection toaster oven. The dedicated air fryer was used once and given away, too big to keep on the counter and hassle to put away and drag out. Have a good real oil fryer, use sunflower or peanut, there is no equivalent, except for the mess and cleaning of it every few months.
I'm surprised some oil frying conglomerate hasn't sued to stop calling them air fryer, cause nothing is technically fried. Saw a story the other day that the air fryer trend has perhaps peaked.
