Are air fryers really that good?

Hey all, I’ve been considering buying an air fryer in the last few weeks but when I asked 2 of my friends they told me it’s not worth it because it makes the meat dry, also I’ve heard from someone it’s kind of unhealthy? So this made me have doubts.

The reason I wanted to get one is that on the internet they make it seem like you can prepare food faster than with a regular oven, and it’s not causing that much of a mess. Is it true or am I just a victim of advertisement?

I’m very curious about your opinions and experiences - is it worth it or no?
