They're good if you eat frozen fried foods a lot

I dunno much else that I'd use it for but they're pretty multipurpose. A couple of my friends have one and they love it. It does a nice job of crisping up anything that you would do in the oven

I used to use a regular deep fryer to make chicken wings but I have to use it in my garage because it makes the whole house smell like chicken wings for like three days.
The air fryer is much better. It doesn't leak nearly as much smell, uses less oil, and it's great for making chicken wings and onion rings.
The chicken wings come out crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside.
I love it. I rarely use it but for chicken wings and onion rings it is amazing.
Pic related are some honey barbecue wings. I fry them, sauce them, then put them in the airfryer again for a few minutes to caramelize the sauce, then I sauce them one more time.

I absolutely adore mine, but it's truly not the same as a regular deep fry, and it's hard to get the heat and timing tuned properly for food unless you watch it pretty closely.

Do NOT buy one of the clunky ones like in OP's pic that only does one thing. Mine is a toaster, oven, and air fryer in one, I bought it for $130 off of Amazon, and it was worth every penny. Pic related is the one I have, it's a Cuisinart something or other.

Also, defrost the corn dogs before airfrying them. You can do this by leaving them out on your counter for 30mins to an hour before you plan on eating them, or place them in a sandwich bag and running it through hot water until they soften up. THEN airfry.

Unless you’re cooking fatty meats in it, then yes draining off the majority of excess oils from frozen-fried foods is going to be a healthier option. Not because “oil bad” but because there’s very oftentimes preservatives and artificial colors/flavors in the oils. Getting rid of that shit is more important than muh saturated/unsaturated fats.

I considered getting one just to save money on energy from using the oven.

Take 1 tsp baking powder and 1 tsp corn starch for every lb of chicken wings, and toss in a bowl to coat.
You're going to want to add any spices and salt with the corn starch and baking powder, otherwise they'll never stick.
Also you're going to want to toss anything not dry into the wings before you toss the dry stuff.
Even something like lemon zest can ruin the coating.
Once you've got your wings coated, let them chill in the fridge overnight, then bake the next day.
