In this article, I go over the most popular air fryers on the market today – made by PowerXL.

I spent several days researching them so you don’t have to.

A Word About Air Fryers

Since you’re here you probably know these things, but this is why I love air fryers:

• They are healthy. Instead of simmering in the oil or fat, your food is heated up with hot air (higher speeds than convection ovens). It means less calories (up to 70% less), better for the heart and better taste. Plus, it’s not just for fries or chicken nuggets, you will be surprised at how many different kinds of food.
• Air fryers excel at reheating food. It’s incredible. I know people who specifically freeze pizzas in order to air fry them later.

You can cook almost anything in an air fryer if you tweak the recipe a little bit.

Check out my recipes for air fryers or this nifty air fryer conversion calculator.

The only thing you should be on the lookout for is the smoke, but it’s the same as with conventional wall ovens.

Just remember to use the drip tray that comes with the air fryer so the grease does not drip over the heating elements, and you’ll be good to go.

Plus, most of them are loud because of the fans.

About the Manufacturer

PowerXL is a brand owned by Tristar Products Inc., founded in 1992 in the USA.

Unlike GoWISE and other Chinese microbrands, it’s a legitimate business that owns brands like Emeril Lagasse.

PowerXL Air Fryer Options

Tristar has three PowerXL air fryers for sale:

• PowerXL Air Fryer & Grill
• PowerXL Air Fryer Oven 10 Qt
• PowerXL Air Fryer Maxx Classic 7 Qt

The main difference among these is their size and features.

You probably saw this one in the commercials.

It is the biggest one on this list, and with the most features.

As you can guess from the name, it’s both an air fryer and a grill, and can double (or triple) as a toaster oven (although it heats up longer than a toaster oven).

The cooking is good, and it’s very versatile.

It can take whatever you throw at it:

• air fry french fries, chicken wings, pork chops
• bake pizzas, quesadillas, or muffins
• grill, broil and toast (see the difference)
• do most of the things I write about in the toaster oven recipes section

Size

• Exterior: 19″ x 10.5″ x 11.5″
• Interior: 12.5″ x 7.5″ x 11″

Pros

• Consistently good air frying
• Versatile: can air fry, grill, and toast
• Many accessories (if you’ll use them all): grill plate, crisper tray, baking pan, oven rack, rotisserie spit set, drip tray

Cons

• Gets VERY hot to the touch
• Loud when it works

The 10 Qt PowerXL is the most powerful on the list (1700 watts), and, unlike regular air fryers, it has racks instead of baskets.

Because of this, it fits more food, and you can cook different kinds at the same time.

Pros

• Very powerful
• Cooking is good
• Spacious racks
• You don’t need to turn the food when air frying

Cons

• It trips the wiring if your outlets can’t handle 1700 watts
• The racks are somewhat hard to clean

This is the one that you can get if you dislike the other two for any reason.

The basket is big enough for several people, and it cleans easily.

There’s also the 4-quart version, as well, although I would stick with the 7-quart one.

The difference in money and space to be saved by getting the smaller one are really negligible.

Final Words

Air fryers are great, and I’m glad I finally found a couple that I can recommend.

For the longest time, this space was dominated by low-quality no-name convection ovens.

Ask yourself this: will you really be using one?

There are things we get and never use, like waffle irons for example.

You think it’s a great idea but you forget that you eat waffles only twice a year, so it sits there on the counter collecting dust.

If you really will be using an air fryer – which is great – then you can’t go wrong with PowerXL.
