How is this different from a basket air fryer?

It uses a flat rack in an oven cavity instead of a pull-out basket, so it holds more food and also toasts, bakes and broils. Basket fryers usually crisp faster and are easier to shake.

Does it really save counter space?

Yes when stored. The oven flips up on its back hinge to stand vertically, but it still needs clearance behind and above it and is heavy to lift.

How much toast can it make at once?

Up to 9 slices on the rack in a single batch, which is more than most toaster ovens of this size.

Do I have to flip food while air frying?

For even browning, yes. The flat rack puts food closer to one heating element, so most foods benefit from being turned partway through.

Are the accessories dishwasher safe?

The included racks and accessories are dishwasher safe. The oven interior and door are not and should be wiped by hand.

Is it good for a family?

It suits families because the large rack cooks several portions at once and the modes cover full meals, though big batches still take longer than a basket fryer.
