PowerXL 7QT Air Fryer Maxx Classic

Here are three things I love about it: 1.) It’s quick! There is no pre-heating with this machine and it cooks food so incredibly fast. The Parmesan asparagus I made only took 3 minutes to cook and tasted delicious. (That would have taken much longer if boiling, baking, or sautéing.) 2.) It’s safer than a microwave. Air fryers use convection waves as opposed to actual micro waves. Don’t ask me the science on this one but I’ve always heard microwaves are terrible for you and now I reheat my food with the air fryer. (Ex: I’ve reheated leftover meats and they taste like they were just freshly cooked.) 3.) It’s a healthy alternative to deep-frying. Rather than submerging foods in oil to achieve the crispy and fried taste, you simply just spritz food with a little olive oil (depending on the food you’re making.) The food is evenly cooked and tastes crisp! I will say this machine was a little bit of a learning curve for me (but honestly, what kitchen gadget isn't?) I tried three recipes from an air fryer magazine and I burnt every single one of them because I didn’t realize just how fast the food cooks. I just cut down the recommended cook times significantly and that fixed my user error. My recommendation is just to watch your cook times until you get used to using it. The timer feature is super helpful because then it will auto-shutoff. I do wish there was a window to view the food but you can just simply pop open the fryer and push it back in with no problems. Sometimes those cook windows in machines get hard to clean anyway. Lastly, the 7 qt size isn't large enough to fill an entire bag of frozen fries but because this cooks so quickly, you can do two rounds in no time. This model seems like it would be good for a couple or maybe a family of 4. It's quite large on my countertop but is light enough that it can be moved back and forth between my pantry and countertop. It's super easy to clean and I love that its parts are dishwasher friendly. Overall, I highly recommend it! UPDATE 12/9/20 Sadly, after only a few weeks of use it seems like the fan isn't spinning correctly. I plan to write customer service and will update when I hear back.

I love this Air Fryer. It cooks evenly and its convenient.

The Power XL air fryer does far more than just faux-frying. It is a faster toaster than our toaster oven perfectly toasting a bagel in roughly 2 minutes. It can reheat many foods with far better tasting results than the microwave. I reheat pizza in 3 minutes that doesn't get that rubbery microwave reheated pizza texture. It can reheat leftover fried foods to nearly perfect condition. No more are leftover french fries or onion rings resigned to the garbage can. It also shines heating up frozen pre fried foods such as frozen fries, cheese sticks, onion rings, chicken nuggets etc... It heats up and cooks much faster than both our GE convection oven and toaster oven. It cooks skin on fresh chicken with a perfectly crisp and unburned outside and moist inside. I was shocked how well it actually works. I held off on the air fryer craze for a long time thinking that it didn't have anything to offer over the convection and toaster oven we already had. I shouldn't have waited. It is almost as fast as a microwave and much much faster than the oven with better results than either. The only con I can say is that the results aren't quite as good as true oil deep frying. I would say the results are 85-90% as good with much less hassle. Compared to slower results 40% as good from the oven I will take the air fryer any day.

2 years later still working good. I just make sure I clean the inside out with a damp cloth

I bought this in November of 2022. We used it at least 4 days a week if not more. We even took it on a 22 state RV trip. It was subjected to earthquake like jostling in our camper while we drove down the unpredictable US highways. It had its last chicken nuggets the other day. We went to turn it on last night and it’s dark. I would give it 5 stars if it died in a few years. But it served our family of 5 very well.

My favorite I have had a few, you won't be sorry.

Our air fryer made it 4 1/2 years and worked great until the last year or so when digital buttons started failing. We were still able to keep it running. It was a good run!!

I already had one this is the second one

So far I have purchased three. I work with two at a time if I have lots of food to cook. It is the best A/F I have encountered so far. Have a number of friends who have purchased and are very pleased. I heard a rumor this model will no longer be available, so purchased one of six advertised on Amazon.

I did a lot of research and found that this air fryer suited my needs. I made a tender delicious pot roast and another time tater tops. It has a lot of room for cooking and easy to clean. Would like more inserts but only a few as a backup. The price is over $30 and I don't need that many. Still don't know why the circle with various cooking symbols don't stay on so I can press what I want.

I originally had a smaller version of this and loved it but it quit after 4 years. Ordered the Instant Vortex AirFryer but wasn’t pleased with it, so returned and after research found this one. I have used it a few times and thoroughly pleased it is everything and more than the smaller version so will stick with with Power XL.

Love how easy it is to use and everything is perfect
