KALORIK FT 50878 BKSS vs PowerXL AirFryer XL

I really like this Kalorik MAXX 7 Quart Digital Air Fryer. Often times with air fryers it seems like half of them if not more have limited usable space as the basket is quite small. This model really gives you the full 7 quart cooking area which is really awesome. Said for this particular size and layout this model really excels when it comes to how much you can cook at one time

I wanted a smaller size fryer that didn’t take up much counter space, which the specs seemed to indicate. Next time I’ll definitely scrutinize the dimensions better. Small space shoppers—look elsewhere.

The controls are so easy and there are quite a few presets. The temperature dial is in increments of five degrees, giving a lot of control. The sides and top do not get hot, and the flat top is handy to place waiting food. Non-stick surface was easy to clean

We use it multiple times a week to re-heat and cook. I've recommended it to everyone. It is a great tool to have in the kitchen, even if it is a little bulky to store. Also, the clean up is very easy; the tray pops out of the basket and both are easy to clean since they are non-stick surfaces -- you can easily soak them both if something is really caked on

I’ve found that the time and temps the instructions recommend are too hot and long. In other words, shorter cooking times and lower temperatures have been better. Also, stop midway through the cooking and shake it!

I have not used or tested out the rotisserie items, but I did use the basket for French fries and tots but truly didn't see any difference from placing them on the pan tray. So far I can say the 1.5 inch Filet Mignon we cooked and the Pork Chops have been fantastic! Again, you'll have to find your True Time and settings. My experience has been to always add 2 or 3 extra minute as a PRE-heat

many of the others that I have tried only go to 400 which is good but that extra 50 degrees go a long way to get a good crisp on fries and meat. The basket on this fryer is large enough to fit a lot of stuff in without having to double stack and I don't have to shake the basket much to move and readjust food in the basket. The menu is bright and easy to maneuver through the many presets. Being able to set your own temperature and time is a big plus as that is what I generally do, although the french fry preset get used quite often as it crisps the french fries to perfection

Once you turn it off the interior heat dissipates. 3. It is not too noisy 4. It does not heat up the room 5
