I never ended up getting an air fryer and still manage to cook at home nearly 100% of the time.
I don't know the various brands, but you can do as i suggested last year - take a look at thrift stores and see what they have. New these air fryers start around $40/$50 and go up from there.
Something i do know about that you could take a look at are sous vide immersion water circulators. It's a stick/wand that you put in a vessel of water and then your food goes in a plastic bag and into the water. One of the three i've been using to make hard boiled eggs was ~$60 on amazon. It's not as fancy as the other two I have, but works quite well.
Another kitchen appliance that you can check into is a slow cooker, a crockpot is a brand name. You could get a roast, throw it in the slow cooker with a little water in the morning and it'll be ready in the evening. This may not seem appealing, since an air fryer can cook things in a matter of minutes, so you'll need to weigh all these things and decide for yourself.
