If you have an oven with a broiler, or a convection oven, you don't need one. They take up a painful amount of space and I would advise against any big-ass kitchen appliances like this except a pressure cooker because they actually do a job that you can't just do in a conventional oven. Also the time it will take to clean will negate any time savings gained.
Get an oil spray bottle, spray things with a light coat of oil and put them in the broiler instead.
An small countertop oven ("air fryer") is quicker and more energy efficient than a normal oven.
And they really don't take up that much space. There are also microwave/"air fryer" hybrids that fit above the stove like a normal microwave, though they're kind of expensive right now.

Ahh but what if my air fryer doubled as a pressure cooker? Checkmate libs

The cleaning is definitely the biggest draw back. Such a pain.
