A 6 qt should do well for 2 people. I have an 8 qt Power XL vortex, and 4 bone in, skin on thighs fit perfectly. I got it on sale for $60? maybe Kohls coupons, lol), but the regular price is about $90 not on sale. So the 6 qt should be perfect for you, and probably $10-20 less. We loved it so much, we just bought a new stove, and made sure it had air fry capability, however it does seem to be a little different (more space to heat up, and we need to check the calibration) but my second attempt at chicken thighs last night was much better. Good luck, hope you find one you like, and I am a proponent of the parchment liners, makes clean up a breeze, and no they don't defeat the AF's purpose, I get beautiful crispy skin and fully cooked chicken with or without them, but the easy clean does it for me!
r/airfryer • I have a lot of questions about Air fryers ->Definitely. I use mine every single day. I’ve have a Power XL basket style.
r/Cooking • Do you have an air fryer? Should I get one? ->I've had the same PowerXL for 7 years and I put the whole basket in the dishwasher after I use it. 🙃
r/Costco • Air fryer recommendations? Ninja? ->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.
r/airfryer • Thoughts on this GreenPan air fryer? ->We really like the PowerXL brand.
r/EatCheapAndHealthy • What’s the Best Air Fryer to Buy Right Now? ->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.
r/airfryer • Air fryer toaster oven recommendations! ->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.
r/BuyItForLife • Best Air Fryers to Buy? ->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.
r/EatCheapAndHealthy • What’s the Best Air Fryer to Buy Right Now? ->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.
r/airfryer • I analyzed Reddit for the 20 most recommended air fryers in the past year ->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.
