I have had the PowerXL 8-Quart Air Fryer for one year to date. The unit cooked the food just like it was designed to do. No issues with how the unit cooked food and time saved. However, the unit only lasted for one year. The unit just stopped powering on. So, I would stay clear of this product unless you are ready to buy the PowerXL Air Fryer every year.

Stopped working within a month. Purchased product because it had great reviews. Used it a couple times and worked good, but then it suddenly stopped working and would not power on. Come to find out product has a defective power button that is very flimsy and can break easily. Luckily was able to return it and get a better air fryer.

We purchased this to replace the PowerXL Vortex 7 qt which I loved, and which I accidentally broke! This is far inferior to it. It takes longer to air fry everything. In the Vortex the temperature could be adjusted in 5 degree increments; in this one, only in 10 degree increments. The display keeps fogging up. But the tray insert is the worst - instead of holes, it has "slot" openings. If I'm air frying vegetables or anything smaller than a piece of chicken, so much falls through to the bottom. The center indentation is huge, which also causes pieces to pool there. On the plus side (which I don't think there's much of) it holds a large quantity, and cleans up well. All in all, not a great purchase.

Broken pieces after 1use. The tray has small rubber (?) pieces at each corner to protect the basket. They are attached to the tray with rubberized prongs. Will take back next weekend for a replacement. I will update after that. The single use seemed OK. Green beans. The air fryer stayed cool on exterior.

We've owned 2 of these and the second one just died in less than a year. For one the non-stick coating on both peeled off and is not non-stick to begin with. We've even tried oiling the surfaces first. Requires an overnight soak to get the food off. On the second air fryer the basket switch failed (melted). I was able to find a replacement which worked but shouldn't have to do this. The plastic front of the basket started detaching from the basket and became a struggle to insert and use. Finally it died. Liked the way it cooked but they don't last long.

This has a massive defect. If it lasts, expect to pay for a lot of silicon feet for the tray. They cost $10 per four pack. We purchased ours in early August and we already need three feet. Worse, they are back orders. We never took the feet off. We admit to using this several times a week and treat it pretty gently. One foot just fell off and two others are hanging on my one of the silicon plugs. At the rate this is coming apart, we expect to spend $50 a year just for rubber feet that apparently are super rare.

So excited to buy this very first Air Fryer in our home. My kids adapted to its functions very quickly and soon enough they are using it almost every day. Then one day, it just shut off for no reason, did all the trouble shooting, then it just stopped working altogether. Got a good year from it, but very disappointed that it does not last long enough.

I bought my current Power XL on Black Friday 6 years ago. It was still going strong until I accidentally put it on a hot burner and melted it. Totally my fault. I was so upset I’m rushing to Sam’s, an hour away from me, tomorrow to get one while they’re on sale. This thing is big enough to roast a whole chicken, as I do often since DH had a heart attack. Great for the kids too. Anything frozen(nuggets, corn dogs, fish sticks, fries etc.) come out perfect. I don’t think I’ve ever written a review but I saw someone said it was small. Like I said…you can roast a whole chicken or roast in it and it comes out so juicy with perfect crispy skin. Hope this helps someone.

User friendly and quiet

We purchased this after doing our research on most models. We found that the size and price were the most appealing. Once we got it home it proved to be the perfect size for us. We are empty nesters and since there are just two of us we weren't sure what would fit our needs. This is a great product, easy to use, easy to clean, and cooks so well. We are very pleased!!!
