I've had my Farberware non- digital air fryer for quite a few years, I jumped on the bandwagon early. It owes me nothing, because .I got it with reward pt.  It works, but everything sticks and I hesitate to use it because it is such a PITA to clean. I've used cooking spray , and I do't want to cover the holes, because that kind of defeats the purpose. My question is do you have an air fryer that is reallynon- stick or at least easy to clean ?

I have this one:

Chefman 6.5 Quart Air Fryer Oven with Space Saving Flat Basket, Oil Free Hot Airfryer with 60 Minute Timer & Auto Shut Off, Dishwasher Safe Parts, BPA-Free, Family Size, X-Large, Black

It is totally non stick.  I do NOT put in dishwasher cuz it is so easy to clean.

Totally non-stick, but many times I do use that EVOO sprayer from Q on some foods.

I have had it 3 yrs now and it is like new.

It is manual....not digital.

I paid  less than it is showing right now....as usual, stupid AMZ prices change daily and they do NOT give you a sale price credit/refund.

Yes. I have a Ninja Foodie 11 in 1- I bought from HLN, the only thing I've ever bought from them, it was a special for $139.00. It is very easy to clean, and I don't have or rather don't use my dish washer. I just sit it in soapy warm water and using a Daddy sponge, swish it and it's clean.

There's your problem.  Assuming your air fryer had a non-stick coating, cooking sprays chemically react with the coating and remove them.  Spraying with oil (ultra light olive oil is good because of the smoke point) is recommended.  Amazon sells parchment liners for air fryers that have perforations.

I have had many air fryers- 2 Cook's Essentials and an Emeril one and have had many issues with sticking as well as the bottom of the basket that holds the food rusting.  Then I had an offer from Best Buy for a tiny 2 qt. Bella airfryer for $15.99 and it has been the best thing ever.  It doesn't have a separate inner basket- it has a plate that sets inside the pull out drawer.  Nothing sticks to that thing!  It washes up beautifully even without spraying the plate with oil.  I have also used it without the inner plate to make things with sauces, like shrimp scampi and that cleans out fabulously as well.  Of course, I am one person at home cooking for myself, so the 2 qt one works. But I am sure the other Bella ones that are larger will work as well also.

@Ainhisg , I've just started using the spray , but I'll remember that for the future.

Ninja models are ceramic coated rather than traditional nonstick. I’ve had both and prefer the Ninja model. Nothing sticks to it.

Honestly we have one that lives in the garage, but it is big, a pain to use and clean up and it does nothing that a good skillet or the oven won't do--easier, faster, and with no extra space or mess.

Yes, my Instapot brand 6 qt is all non stick--it all comes out/  washes out very easily--however I will never spray it or my other pots/pans with cooking spray---thats what makes the whole nonstick surface become non stick after awhile.
