What do you want in the next generation air fryer?

depglass — Wed, 10 Jan 2018 16:44:20 GMT

These babies aren't going away, they will only get better. I have two but already can think of a couple improvements. #1 Square pan for more capacity and possibility of doing pork chops, hamburg patties, etc. #2 Keep the under drain pan. Why let the oil drain off if your product will be sitting in it? #3 Make the opening button easier to manipulate. #4 Let the basket slide in easier to make the electrical connection.

Anyone else?

Better quality. I got the Cook's Essentials 3 qt. or so air fryer back in 2016 and while I love how it cooks the nonstick coating began peeling off in about 2-3 months or so. Now, I have to coat the pan in oil before each use. The exposed areas also rusted.

This issue needs to be resolved before I buy another one.

I have a Phillips. My complaint is that I can’t turn it off once it is running....I have to pull the plug. The heat stops, but then timer keep going until it dings.

Also, it needs to be bigger, as in wider. I would like one with a bigger footprint. It doesn't need to be higher, just wider.

I also think the release button needs to operate easier. (I have the Power XL)

CARMIE< Can you adjust the time , or temperature while it is running ? If you can, just keep pressing the time incurment until there is only one minute, and wait for the 1 to count down and it will turn off. That is how my Power XL works.

NycVixen, Did you buy this from Q.V.C.? If so, call customer Service I'm sure they will replace or give you credit. Just don't use this with the problem with peeling and rust you will get sick. I had a problem with a mini food pullser and I call the customer service Dept. at Q.V.C. I even had a while and they refunded my money because it was rusting, and the rep told me do not use it it is dangerous to your health. So Please Please call them. Be safe not sorry.

NycVixen, If you do replace it with another Air-Fryer the Power Xl is what I have it is of good quality the basket is made like the gold pans the Q sells with Eric Theiss. Mine it used acouple if not 3x's a day and I've had mine almost a year with no peeling or rusting. I bought Mine from Kohl's.It works great, and I purchased a turntablel for B.B.&B just to keep my counter safe and make it easier to turn need be. Lots of good luck to you !!

I'm so glad I bought the NuWave 6 qt one. Easy as all get out, No issues

at all.

(don't get the 3 qt one, now, it's crappy LOL) Just stand in the store with the demo model and try to pull out and reinsert the drawer you'll know what I mean. Kohl's keeps demos out.

6qt is plenty big too. Really making trying to stay fat free easier

The piece that you put the food on SHOULD BE STAINLESS STEEL. This should be mandatory. The botton plate in my Emeril air fryer had to be thrown out because the coating was coming off. This is unacceptable! All manufactures need to fix this problem.

If convection ovens come with stainless steel shelves why doesn't the air fryer have the same thing. These two kitchen appliances are pretty much the same. They're OVENS !!!!!

@BeccaLou I have the Power XL too and use it frequently. It is over one year old and no rusting or peeling. I love it.

I would like to see a more attractive appearance. I leave mine out (otherwise I would never use it). Needs to be compact too as most people don't have tons of room. Maybe shaped more like a toaster oven? Must come in choice of colors including white.

At the moment my dream AF is Paula Deen's 10.5 qt "oven' design but bigger! I would like a couple more inches in height to fit my own baking pans/dishes on the racks and a bit wider would not be unwelcome either. I believe that these modifications also would help make the roitisserie pieces much more useful. I would not mind a larger footprint for this item as it would replace my current area fryer and toaster oven.

I wouldn’t like a stainless steel basket. I can’t inagibe what you’d cook in such a thing that wouldn’t stick. I do the looks of the Paula Deen ceramic models.

Hey pooky1, this may be wishful thinking on my part lol but I have a feeling that we soon will see a V.2 from Paula or from Todd English or maybe Cook's Companion will release their own new fryer in the oven style. Evine has had Paula V.1 @ its November TSV price for 3 or 4 weeks since late December so I think they are trying really hard to clear inventory.

Maybe Cooks' Essentials will take a shot too!. The more manufacturers that come to the party, the better our selections -- and hopefully their prices! -- will be.

It definitely would be great to have one of these at home when the weather warms back up so I will be staying on the hunt!

I surmise that Wolfgang will have one as the TS during his HSN visit on Saturday.

Not sure of the specifics, but his electrics have been of good quality for me.
