Cannot replace interior light.

This oven works ok for reheating or simple baking of biscuits, muffins, bacon etc... I have not used it in the air fryer or grill mode yet as we have only had it a couple of weeks. The interior light has already gone out. Not a big deal, I'll just replace the bulb. Oh, wait, you cannot replace the bulb. This oven is built so the interior light is not accessible to replace by the user. Check it for yourself. OK, a phone call to PowerXL customer care informs me the light cannot be replaced and no replacement part is available if I did take it apart, and my only option is to return the unit to Sam's Club for a replacement as it is well within the 90 day warranty period. Yeah, no. I am not going to box this thing up, drive 30 miles to my Sam's Club for a replacement unit when the first one has a failed part already. We will just keep using it without the interior light until the whole unit fails, then replace it with something else. No real excuse to make something as simple as an oven light non-replaceable. Though it does make me wonder about the quality and design of the unit overall. It is a shame too as it seems OK otherwise. Might just return it for a refund, but kinda hate to do that as that is a hassle and we do like the looks and basic performance of the PowerXL Air Fryer Grill. The old toaster oven (and its interior light) was still working after about 10 years of use when we replaced it with this one, because we liked the looks of, extra features and bigger size of this one. Ten years performance of old different brand oven vs. two weeks use of this one. Attached photo shows how nicely the interior light lit up before it quit working.

Weak Air Fryer Function

We were hoping to replace our current air fryer (another powerxl, but sorta shaped like an egg) with this one because it gave us other functionality (pizza, oven, broiler) along with air frying. Our current air fryer was great, it really crisped up fries, tots, and other frozen foods. We even used it for homemade "fried" chicken. Our kids used it like crazy, and we came to rely on it for a great many things we wanted to get nice and crispy. This new unit seems to take twice as long (even on the highest temp 450) and still not get that nice golden brown we got from our previous one. I can't tell if its defective or just a poor design. Unfortunately we got rid of the packaging and now feel stuck with it. I've never owned a toaster oven before, so maybe as one of those, it's ok, but it's NOT a good air fryer, pass this one up.

So Disappointed. Returned Right Away

Unfortunate impulse purchase at Sam’s. The features listed on the box sounded perfect. But, returned both immediately. First one’s door would not seal on one side. Second one couldn’t even make toast. The oven’s toast/waffle setting is strangely one and the same. After 12 minutes at 400° only the top of bread slice browned, but the entire bread was dried out like a crouton. The heating elements never turned any shade of red hot. The oven exterior was too hot to touch, and it put off as much heat as a small space heater. My intent was to have one do-it-all appliance, and to reduce the heat in the kitchen with a small oven. The 4 star ratings for this product do not add up with so many poor reviews.

Great multi function counter top oven/grill/fryer

I bought this product since it has multiple functions all in one oven. I is very convenient. It does a nice job whether baking something from scratch, grilling indoors, or reheatng leftovers. That is my favorite feature, air friying heats things up, like take home from a restaurant without making them soggy or all dried out. It really works well.

DO NOT BUY. Only works for 6 months

Google this oven and you will see many people complaining about the defective temperature control. It works fine for 6 months - year and then fails. It won't get very warm anymore even at the highest setting - it can't even brown toast. DO NOT BUY THIS - you are just throwing your money away. Mine broke after the warranty, so now is an expensive paperweight. I contacted the manufacturer to purchase a new temperature control and they won't sell me one. They say the entire unit need replaced/purchased. NO THANKS.

Probably Love It

We’ve only had our oven maybe 10 days, but everything I’ve tried in it, we have liked. My only complaint is that the drip tray is stained already. We tried our best to keep it clean, but it has gotten harder and harder to clean each time. Thank goodness you never cook or eat off of it.

DO NOT BUY!

I bought this so my kids could cook them something to eat while I was work. Something quick and easy to use. Low and behold after 9 months the heating element goes out. I did buy this while it was on sale and thought PowerXL was a good brand. However, I was sadly mistaken!!!! So, warning to others do not waste your money!

problems within 6 months; terrible warranty

I bought this to use primarily for broiling (to make up for post-hurricane kitchen appliance issues). The top heating elements stopped working in under 6 months. I contacted the company since it was under warranty, but they require you to pay to get the product to them (and it would be more cost effective to just replace with another brand and avoid this brand in future purchases).

Does NOT airfry

We bought this because it was so roomy and I could air fry several items at once (we LOVE our other air fryer). Wrong. This oven does not air fry. It's just an oven that blows a little air. It takes forever to cook something on the "air fry" setting. And the knobs are very hard to turn; impossible if your hands are a little wet. No ridges to help you turn. Just a round, slick hard'to-turn knob. It's fine as a toaster oven but not worth the price and don't plan on air frying with it.

Too small

Too small, half is the big knobs on it. Took it out of the box & put it right back in it & ended up returning it. My Black and Decker toaster oven that I bought years ago @ Sams Club is bigger than this. I ended up spending more $ and getting the Ninja Foodi XL Air Oven DT200; Best investment ever ❤️
