PowerXL AirFryer XL vs Instant Pot 140-3082-01

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

The basket and cooking tray are easy to clean and the non-stick coating is working well - some said the the non-stick coating is coming off, I did not see this my unit either. I did note that the results are much better if you use olive oil cooking spray on the food before frying. This is especially noticeable on breaded food such as chicken fingers. I took one star off because it comes with a terse, abbreviated guide, or manual

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

Generally: Lower temperature by 25°F and set cooking time to 80% of the middle of the recommended cooking time for conventional oven instructions when cooking using air fryer mode. This usually gets you in the ballpark, but with a minute or two to go, you might have to stop it or add time. I've been using that method from the beginning, and it has served me well.

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

Problem 4: The basket becomes very difficult to open and close once the unit gets hot. It sticks when the basket is closed and doesn't seem to want to close once open. I almost burned myself opening the basket. This problem goes away once the fryer/basket cools

The basket is a must don't know why they don't send with this fryer but get one you'll need it.

Place it back again still says “open” clearly this machine is defective or just a POS! Call up Amazon and bam a new next day and when a label to return the old one. Thank you for that! Well on to the new one exactly like my previous one. Well can you guess what happened?!??!!!! The same damn thing!!!! What the Heck!!!! I mean come on who makes this up and makes this crap. Two machine doing the same thing a simple fix?! Well I think not

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.

Took up a lot of space on the counter. I love my InstantPot, but this thing was used 3 times and returned. Even if the dial worked, I don’t think I could have justified keeping it.

.but too nervous to try yet! My wife and I made a deal that I keep it as long as I use it at least once a week! 4 stars because of the overheating. Maybe I will start to YouTube post my experiences: MrScience22

When the unit cools down, it’s a hassle to get close. While a patient person wouldn’t mind, it can be annoying. I’d go a different route if you need back to back usage. Would not recommend
