I have the PowerXL for the last 2 years after having a Ninja for 5 years. The PowerXL is great and I have no complaints. It works like it should.

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.

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

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!!
