Maximatic EAF2612D vs PowerXL Vortex PAF-7QB

Easy to clean, and once you get the hang of it EVERYTHING tastes better! No grease, crispy, and delicious every time now. Well worth the $. Just wish I knew they have a turquoise/mint (favorite color) one now. Oh well…

Cleaning the drainage tray and pan is simple due to the non-stick material and It should remain easy to clean provided you clean it every time you use it, which you would with any cooking utensil,

At the sound of the ding, the chicken wings were definitely not done. They were not brown, they were not crisp. We gave them another 24 minutes at 390 degrees, and YUMMY! Next time, we will fiddle with the time to see if something less than 48 minutes (24x2) would be long enough. So, yes, it's great with two chicken wings; but not at the time the instructions call for

Let's try the next batch at 350, 13 min, spray dry spots, flip, spray dry spots and cook another 13 min. Pull tray, chicken a nice Golden Brown (looked real good, smelled even better). Checked temp; 216°F. Placed on wire rack on top of baking sheet with parchment paper and placed in 170°F gas oven for 15 min

The temperature scale is difficult to use. The old 2qt unit was great, this one is disappointing. Too bad the knobs and scale fell off the old one.

I bought this on November 24 2021 and the first time I used it, it made a horrible clicking noise and wouldn't heat up. Tried to exchange it at the store WITH a receipt and they can't accept it without the box. Who saves the box?! So now I'm out the money and stuck with a defective air fryer I have to throw away somewhere.

I struggle with trying to get it to crisp anything up. The temperatures are pre-set, which I was aware of. What Air Fryer charts say take 20 minutes have taken up to 40 minutes to cook in this appliance. I've tried burgers, french fries, egg rolls, veggies, and countless other items that should cook in a relatively short time

Believe me, you won’t get them. You could send the entire box and won’t get them. They demand something that doesn’t exist on this air fryer box. Better to spend the time cooking instead!
