PowerXL - Vortex Pro Air Fryer (2QT)

Oh they last, I just use them so much. Well, my Gowise didn't last long and then I went to a Vortex XL. I had that one for years. I've had the Cosori Turboblaze about two years and love it. All the air fryers I've had except the GoWise worked very well. I've been air frying since 2016. I think they're worth it.

IMHO after a lot of research I felt the basket style air fryer was the easiest to clean and use. Even though you might think a small one will work, bigger is better. You can make personal size 8" pizza in less than 10 minutes using pre-made pizza crusts. Any of the major brands will work well. Years ago my first air fryer was a cheapie from Target. Then I got a Vortex XL, and now I have a Turbo Blaze. For basic foods they all cooked the same.

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

Seconded. Most food airfryer cooking instructions say to cook in a single layer, and if you do a larger quantity of something you have to shake the food and it takes longer. I went from a PowerXL to a Ninja double basket 10qt and sometimes it even feels too small if you make two things.

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. 

We really like the PowerXL brand.

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.

Had a PowerXL one that worked great for about 5 years of near daily use before it bit the dust last year. Got a Ninja Foodi to replace it and have been pretty happy with it. I really like that it folds away when not using it to save on counter space and that its big enough to make a meal for the whole family.

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.
