I use my air fryer daily to make breakfast and lunch for my kids. It’s great if you’re only making one or two servings of something. So for example, I can cook one chicken breast and some vegetables in half the time of heating up the oven. Also leftover fries from a restaurant are brand new when reheated in an air fryer. Their is a bit of a learning curve because is cooks differently from and oven or a pan but I found you can find instructions for anything if you google it. Also Reddit has an air fryer sub.

Definitely. I use mine every single day. I’ve have a Power XL basket style.

Since 2020, I've been using my trusty old PowerXL airfryer. It still works pretty well if you hit it a little but I think the interior is made from plastic and the tray inside is rusting. I've tried buying a "non-toxic" airfryer from Emeril which was stainless steel. When I cooked something, the food tasted chemically and there was also an awful smell coming from it. I went back to old-reliable XL... I saw Ninja Crispi Glass Airfryer selling at Costco. Is this one any good? Also, any other recommendations for "non-toxic" airfryers?

This is literally like the one I have but the handle broke off.

Hopefully this is on-topic enough for this sub! /r/appliances seems to be more focused on the major appliances. This is one of my frequently-visited subs and I just trust y’all, feel like I’m less likely to get hit with corporate shills 😂 I use my air fryer for so many foods when it’s just myself. This was my third one, although this is the only one to die: 1) Tiny, generic brand, gave to my mother when a friend gave me a brand-new Power XL in the box. 2) Power XL - great, used it a lot, but ultimately wanted a bigger one. 3) Instant (-Pot brand) Vortex Pro. Fantastic. Loved having the two levels. Was planning to get the rotisserie attachment. But now it’s just kicked the bucket after about 1-1.5 years of use. Not feeling keen to buy another. So, any suggestions from the /r/cooking hive mind? To me, an air fryer is a cooking tool like any other, but happy to re-post elsewhere if it would be more appropriate. Bonus points if it looks decent on the countertop! Thank you all kindly in advance!!

I've used the power XL and it worked great. Moved away from roommates (it was his) and got a Gourmia 8qt one gifted for Christmas last year. I LOVE it. No weird smell at first use. Almost never use the oven anymore. Dislike cleaning it but that might be because my sink is small. Has a shelf/tray thing that elevates the food so air circulates around. I think my mom got it for like USD $88 or so last year during black Friday.
