PowerXL - Smokeless Grill & Air Fryer Combo

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.

I've had the same PowerXL for 7 years and I put the whole basket in the dishwasher after I use it. 🙃

We just bought the one basket greenpan air fryer.  So far, so good.  Just knowing that it is less toxic, makes me feel better. Worth the extra $30 I paid. We returned a Power XL one, which constantly had an odor every time I used it.  No air fryer is completely clear of chemicals, but it's a start. We also are trying there pan and stainless steel pots. 

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.

I’ve owned a Ninja, Gourmia and a PowerXL. They’re all built like crap and last a little over warranty when used regularly. Hopefully there’s a decent one out there.

I’ve had a PowerAirFryer Oven for 7 years. Bought all my friends and family them when they were out. It’s great and a front door like these instead of the bucket. Was $100 and use it daily even now. I think now its PowerXL air fryer

To each their own I guess, I have a Bella 8qt that I love. Then as a 2nd one I bought a Power xl that connected to wifi, , had a 2 layer system, boy was it junk, supposedly more powerful than the Bella, it took longer to cook the exact same thing as it did the Bella. to be honest I just threw it away and bought a 2nd Bella when I wanted to do some meat in one and a side dish in the other.

I used to use a large convection toaster oven for everything, a couple of years ago I was given a Power XL air fryer. I really like it. There's no basket, it's shelves. So it's more like a small convection oven but it's big enough to get a small pan in.

I have a power xl and it never gets mentioned here for some reason. It got good reviews and was on sale and they had a big pile of them when I bought it so I assumed it was one of the most popular. I was gifted a ninja before that and it just randomly died so I wasn’t going with that brand again. I like it. It works good and meets my expectations. The only thing that bugs me is the WiFi light blinking at me because I am never gonna hook up an airfryer to wifi. I have no idea why Reddit doesn’t like power xl.

My Power XL was terrible with sticking from basically start to finish. I've had a Ninja Foodie XL Air Fryer Dual Basket and some people don't wash it after every use but it never sticks and is very easy to remove just with some hot soapy water.
