Anyone buying this? I don't own anything from this brand. Those who have anything from this brand do you like them? Is it good quality and long lasting? Thanks.

I bought ir when it was a TSV several months ago. I do like it, but.....its heavy, bulky, big footprint on counter. the suction feet really stick to counter (a safety feature, but hard to free it up). I keep mine on a towel so I can easily slide it out from under the cupboards. a tray or plastic placemat would also work.

the main bowl's non stick is prone to flaking off. the lids do pop on/off easily. I have used the AF, saute and slow cook features.

I do feel Eric brings products to us as guinea pigs to 'try out'... some immediately saturate the market (copper pans) some have multiple complaints so they are reconfigured.

all that said, I am keeping mine for ease of cleaning, won't use the metal grill pad (why is this metal when it scratches the non stick??) if I don't use it often enouigh to justify giving up space on counter, will donate.

the previous reviews were very mixed. some really love these, others not so much.

Thank you! Very helpful. Is the non stick flaking off unusual for products like this?

@BdBettyB There are 441 reviews on this unit on Amazon if you want to read some. As for quality and longivity, I guess time will tell.

I don't have this model, but I bought an regular Power XL air fryer last spring. I loved it, until it stopped working this week. I was cooking chicken wings and it just stopped running with no warning when they were half way cooked. I had to transfer my food to my oven to finish cooking it.

I have a smaller Phillips aiirfryer that I am using until I find a larger one to replace the one I that broke.

I don't think I want another Power XL. It didn't last very long and for that reason wasn't a good value. I did like the way it cooked my food though.

@knittykitty you've answered my questions and I think I'll pass. I wish a 3 quart choice was available. While I love the 12 cooking options, I don't want something so big and heavy on my counter. I already have one of the early models of the 6 quart Ninja multi cookers and it is so big!

@Carmie I've had two Power XL air fryers in the past. With each one, it worked great for about a year, then it broke down and stopped completely -- happens twice?! This last time was about 4 years ago. At that time, I found many reviews across the internet that stated the same thing -- they are fantastic, until they die in under a year!

I will never purchase this brand again.

I also bought an Ninja Foodie from HSN, when it was a special yalue. It's an 11 in 1, very heavy, the lid can not be removed, and the other lid has to be stored.I could not use it on my counter, because it's a pressure cooker too, and you can't have the steam going up on your cabinets. I really like it alot, but need to find a long cabinet to put it on, you just can't pick it up and move it, it's heavy. So it's sitting on a portable dishwasher. So think of all this before you buy.

Bought this as a replacement for my Cooks Essentials basket type air fryer after the handle mechanism failed and the bottom tray would just drop off. Safety hazard to say the least, so I decided to try a new type air fryer with more features.

This combo fryer has many pluses: the saute feature works extremely well, getting much hotter than my Ninja slow cooker, more like the Instapot. The temperature goes higher than a standard air fryer, allowing for crispier food and crustier grilled meat. I have used it as a roaster, baker, and as a steamer to cook hard boiled eggs. All are fine. Will also try the sous vide soon as well.

The major downside for me is the large bulky size. I keep it in the corner of my countertop and pull it forward to cook, but the top does not open enough to stay open on its own- I have to hold it open with one hand. I am able to slide the top off though when using it to saute or using the glass lid.

Another major downside is the fact that I cannot get grill marks on the food- even when preheating the unit at 500. I feel that this is false adveristing on the part of the manufacturer and of QVC for showing grill marks on foods that you are not able to achieve when using at home. Also the grill plate is very difficult to clean- does not just wash off like shown on infomercials for the product.. I have had no issues with the inner pot- no peeling, ,scratching or sticking. Very easy to clean.

Sorry for the long review, but I hope it will help others decide whether this product is for them or not.

I have the Power XL air fryer and have had it for over a year, maybe to closer to 2. I use it nearly every day and am pleased with it.

Forgot to mention this in my previous post on this thread. I cannot seem to get rid of the horrible plastic smell of this appliance when using the air frying lid. It smells like burnt plastic. I have tried all the methods suggested, of letting it preheat, using vinegar, baking soda and lemon and still have this smell. If anyone else has had this problem, please post any suggestions you have for getting rid of this unpleasant odor. I have been using this appliance for several months and still have it. It only smells bad when the upper air fryer lid is heated- doesn't happen when slow cooking or baking. I contacted Tristar and they were of no help.

A Huge foorprint! Not another device that basically does the same thing as my convection oven-

And then I need to find a place to put it, which will be in the basement, so I won't use it! Lol!
