Requires clearance of 12 inches ABOVE appliance!

Owners manual diagram shows a minimum of 12" above for clearance. This will NOT fit on a countertop under a standard wall cabinet or in a cabinet designed for a microwave! The microwave was also very weak, it will take longer cooking times than a standard microwave. I returned mine due to the clearance issue, but was also very disappointed in the low power microwave!

Stay away, your oven is better

After six months it developed a short and will blow any circuit breaker in my house. I have tried it with nothing else plugged in and it still trips it. Microwave function works well for a couple of months, then it intermittently works. Air fryer is horrible and it takes as long as my oven to cook things.

Very disappointed

I bought this PowerXL Air Fryer mostly for the the air fryer function, but so far I have not been able to get it to work for me. 2nd, the front panel does not look anything like the picture on the box or even on Sam's sight. The only two function that I've gotten to work for me is the microwave (which is only 1000W BTW) & the bake function. I tried to air fry a piece of fish however when the time was showing finished it was still frozen in the middle. I am considering returning to Sam's club if I can't get the air fryer to work, which is the only reason I bought this thing to begin with. I wish that the front panel really had the same layout with all the settings and so forth, but the one that I have does NOT! Maybe I'm missing something in the setup process; I don't believe so though because I've followed every notation in the manual without success so far.

Glass turntable shattered.

I very seldom use this air fryer ad it was purchased as an extra. I already have a built in microwave and an Emeril Lagasse airfryer, microwave, oven combo, but decided to cook in it about a month ago using a corning ware glass casserole dish. The dish was fine but the turntable shattered while cooking. No reason for this to happen, but it did. Not sure if I should replace the turntable or get rid of the oven altogether.

Air fryer is a let down

Microwave works okay. Oven is not impressive it does heat evenly but takes a long time to warm up. When baking a cake or cookies it takes longer than using an actual oven (even after preheating). The main reason we bought this was for the air fryer feature and it sucks. Nothing gets crispy and once again it takes forever! We've tried the pre programmed options and manually and it is a major fail. At this price point it is definitely not worth it. Wish I would have bought the ninja foodi instead.

Basically an expensive microwave

I have only wrote 1 other review in my life this was so bad I had to. All other features are horrible. The oven takes forever. Nothing really crisps up when using airfryer because it sits down in its own juices basically baking it. I would rather have had 3 countertop appliances that actually do what they should.

Glass tray broke

Worked great until I used the airfryer for the first time and the glass tray split in half. I had it for 2 weeks, called manu. customer service and I have to take back to Sams for replacement but I don't think I want a new one, we will see if they take it back.

Best Rotisserie Chicken Ever!

This air fryer makes the best Cornish hen rotisserie ever! The skin becomes golden brown and crispy while the meat comes out moist and pulls apart easily. This device also makes the best baked salmon steaks. The salmon's oil is retained during cooking keeping it moist and tasty. Best small appliance we've purchased so far!

Less than impressed

Air fry and bake functions work great, but the microwave seems less powerful than the 11 year old unit it was purchased to replace. The inability to set cook time instead of 30 second increments is also frustrating. Bit of a learning curve to using it too. Overall alright but not something I would purchase again.

Not what I expected

I have had the powerxl airfryer microwave for a a year. The airfryer function never lived up to my expectations. It took longer to crisp up compared to my smaller countertop airfryer and never did fries and appetizers as good. As a microwave it worked well though I didn't like that you couldn't just put something in for 10 seconds minimum tune is 30 seconds. Setting different powers is not easy. The countertop oven function works well but none of my baking sheets fit they are too big. Last week my microwave plate broke in two while in use. The plate is an integral part of the microwave function because if it doesn't turn it 8ver cooks in one spot. I called the manufacturer and they told me they don't have the part that broke. I got my unit warrantied through my purchased extended warranty. All and all very disappointed and I will be placing my old microwave back into service.
