I have the 5.3 quart and I love it. The regular oven takes 15 minutes to preheat to 400 degrees the air fryer takes 3 minutes. Unless you are cooking an oven full of food the air fryer will be quicker and save you on electricity.

I got the 5.3 size and couldn't be happier. The small one is...well, just too small! It's all about experimentation. I initially went by the recipe book, but then began experimenting with various times and temps and I have it down pretty well now. I love the fact that it is quick to use and I don't have to heat up my whole kitchen with my convential oven. It is great for heating up left overs and cooking frozen food. I have lost weight using this great kitchen gadget and the food comes out very good! I absolutely love it and recommend it highly!

[@sharkfaridi]

What an amazing and well rounded review. I didn't feel the need to see any other videos after watching this. You're a fantastic reviewer!

[@fullfrontaltubeity]

I only cook for me now. i destroyed two NuWaves and look forward to this ez design of the Power AirFryer xL and it's smaller footprint. I have a corner ready for it. I expect delivery in a day now. Weee. Roasted meats, frozen and unfrozen, are my main goal. Having lost 125lbs thanks to quick and jucified convection cooking, I'll never go back to my clunky and electric eating conventional oven. Well, except for a real Turkey! The little ramikin pies are right up my ally! I too ordered the smaller 3.2 qt model. Thank you for the great review!!

[@barbmartinez1940]

on the chicken recipe I found that it works really good and your power airfryer XL if you cook it at 330degrees for 40 minutes/flip over/ cook at 330degrees for another 40 minutes, it has cooked really well in the middle, very easy to carve and Juicy! NOT burned on top and tasted really Delicious!

[@lydiasetordjiedaley3424]

One of the best reviews and demonstrations I've seen in a very long while; Thank you!

[@donnaintexas4406]

In the recipe book...if you carefully read it...it clearly states that you should prepare the roasted whole chicken only in the 5.3 size AirFryer! If hot air can't circulate then, the meat won't cook correctly. Look in the recipe book in the Table of Contents...at the very bottom...it shows a symbol for the 5.3 fryer and a different symbol for the other fryers. Love our 5.3 AirFryer because I read ALL the information booklets. Purchase the correct size for your family's needs...Just one or two people? Smaller sizes work great...Three or four? 5.3... OR, if hubby is a big eater and there's only the two of you? Get the 5.3 size. The way to steam? Fold some foil into a make shift pan for the bottom, add water and cook. Wahlaa....steam. I'm 65 and learned long ago how to improvise.

[@maxtheknife]

Right there is no way a whole chicken will fit and cook in the 2.4 qt. Maybe cook a half chicken but definately not a whole.

[@prospectsinc]

Just to inform; there now is a 3.4 qt. size. Just the thing, If your single or a retired couple.

[@deborahwoodard2977]

[@genevapratt6591]

My niece owns a power AirFryer XL and offered it to me while she is in the process of moving so I went to this site to learn how to use it. I felt that you gave me much info regarding the fryer and I now have enough knowledge to get started with it. I also appreciated that you were very clear with the pros and cons, and explained very carefully which are the best ways to use the fryer. Thank you for this review.

Just bought one of these and thought that this was a great review. It's good to hear the bad with the good. I love the fryer though and have just made chips from a potato...It blew my mind!

[@dandefrancis]

thank you for a very thorough review and unbiased opinion of this air fryer. I've been trying to decide whether to purchase an air fryer on not (after just getting rid of my traditional deep fryer) and now I know. Thanks for helping me decide! Excellent video!!

[@kelangelaa]

I purchased the air fryer and I love it....the best feature...which u didn't show, is that u can cook frozen meat in it and it comes out juicy😀

[@rich1051414]

I got one as a present from a relative from christmas. Used it today and I am liking it. I have noticed though that deep fried food does not taste the same, but it is still good. Also, the taste really is effected by the quality and age of the frozen food. Some cheese sticks we had for a while tasted like the freezer smells, but deep frying would of cooked that taste out of them.

[@candyapple2redgurl]

Kelly Trammell omg thank you for saying this. I was so scared to put frozen chicken in it today.

[@joyfuljoy5104]

Mam manual or digital which is the best airfryer

[@jannaclark2667]

Her review is good in that she does show some of the aspects. Where it is wrong is that she is using a small air fryer that is geared for small portions of food, for a single person or just two people who won't be cooking a lot of meals. The chicken is noted as being for a 5.3 qt, not the small one she has. We have the 5.3 and have burned some items, but it is trial and error, just as it was with my convection oven when we bought one. I love the air fryer, pork chops that were tender and juicy, beef and broccoli, chicken strips, baked apple crisp in it, chewy granola bars, muffins and much more. It saves time, electricity, and is well worth the price. For a large family it could be used to fix side dishes perhaps when you will run out of burners, maybe to reheat or even finish baking the pizza that was underdone when it was delivered. Dorms, RV and small kitchens, it is perfect. We had stromboli yesterday, meatballs today, on the stove I will make mashed potatoes and gravy for a meal.

Thank you for sharing this video. I have just found you and so impressed that I have not only subbed but rang the bell to help support your channel. I am certainly going to check your channel first when I consider purchasing an item just in case you have reviewed it. You covered everything I wanted to know and had no further questions to research. Thank you again so much!

[@billsmith3042]

I got mine last week and cooked 40 empanadas, chicken wings and french fries and it was great. I learned with the wings to cut some time off the recommended setting and also to turn them halfway through, and they are perfect. Thing is so quiet and no smoke at all.

[@truthseeker1009]

I purchased the large 5.3 quart unit and have found it generally performs well. When using this unit with a pressure cooker you can really save time and brown foods to perfection. I've made great looking and tasting pork spare ribs using both appliances saving me hours of cooking time.

[@olgabelous]

Thanks for your feedback! Always good to have another perspective! :)

Olga the problem with the roasted chicken you made was to large for that unit. you needed the 5.3 quart. The air could not circulate around the chicken.

[@SemperSaint]

Bought mine from Target about 6 months ago, and this weekend it just quit getting hot. Only used it occasionally, so it wasn't from heavy use. Everything works except the heat which is really the most important feature of an air fryer. It did well when it worked, but we're moving on to a bigger and better model.

[@madelineholt6479]

Thank you so totally for your thorough review! I wish ALL reviews are just as great...thank you so much!

[@petermaz701]

Wow the most thorough review I’ve ever come across on a product. I think you do a superb job, I would definitely go by your pros and cons. I definitely agree that most of these air fryers that they are pushing are basically compacted versions of convection ovens.

[@leonardcorsbie3063]

As a batchelor in a tiny studio with only a table top 2 burner cooker and no microwave, , this would greatly increase my cooking options. Great idea.

[@strife01104]

Have a 5.3qt version of the Cooks Essential's fryer and I find an 8 inch cake pan will fit. The Dollar Tree has those without too much of an expense

[@4onewabbit]

I love my Airfryer. When I cook meat I always flip it have way through the time, and it comes out done. I cook pork chops, Fried chicken. It is one of my best kitchen tools. The Ronco Ready grill is the other.

[@davidbixler8322]

I love mine, it does everything I want it to do. I will be going for the larger one, but keep this one for smaller jobs.

I appreciate your review and the information you shared was helpful. I have this AirFryer and I love it. For those of us, like myself, who aren’t fortunate enough to have a convection oven, this AirFryer is great. 😊

When it comes to cooking a steak, and you want to turn it over to cook the other side of it, can you take out the fryer basket while the machine is on, or do you need to turn it off and reset the cooking temp and time?

This review convinced me to experiment air frying with my Breville toaster/broiler which has a convection feature . We have 2, one in our house and a smaller one in the RV. Don't want to add more appliances to either. Thanks

[@txJoJo55]

I have the 5.3 and Cooking is soooo much faster now then Using the oven and wasting way more electricity . I'm single so it makes much more sense for me. You picked a chicken that was just too big for your size fryer. The separate accessories are a plus. I absolutely LOVE my fryer :-)

[@TheRVANDY9]

Hi, dissert looks good!! Can you please tell the recipe? Thanks

[@Aceinthehole1179]

Wonderful review!!! So much info, definitely helped. Awesomeness

[@calendarpage]

I think this is very helpful. However, we aren't all the same and what is a con for one person is a plus for another. As a single, I don't need to cook more than 2-3 pieces of anything at a time. A small ramekin of pie is just enough, though there are smaller pie plates available if you need to have 1 pie. For some people with limited space, such as in an RV, or no air conditioning, an AF is a good choice as it is smaller than the usual convection oven and won't heat up the kitchen like a regular oven. I have one on order, but after reading other reviews,, I decided to get a larger size. Solves a lot of problems. : ) I enjoyed this review very much.

[@olgabelous]

Thanks for your feedback! You're absolutely right. For some people, this is exactly what they need! :)

[@DARKMANIV]

I have the same air fryer here are my observations. 1. The preset cooking times suck they over cook items every time. It's really just trial and error. 2. I ordered the 3.5qt at first, discovered it was way too small and exchanged for the 5.3qt. 3 The fryer sometimes sets off my fire alarm for some reason? The whole chicken you cooked was way too big for the 3.5. I cook my salmon skin side down comes out perfect everytime. Other than that i love it easy to clean and saves me a lot of time.

[@MsTheresa7412]

DARKMANIV Thank you for saving this air fryer review. I just bought the 3 qt because it's not that many ppl in my home so I'm going to try some things in it today.

[@pd3396]

Thanks for this video and all of the viewers comments!

[@billsmith3042]

so true about the preset times..they probably do not want a lawsuit for undercooked food, just like restaurants do not like to cook meat "rare." I had to shave off about 20% from every recommended cook time.

[@jannaclark2667]

I think there are two pros you missed is heating up the oven and cost of electricity (unless you have a gas oven). When we bake or fry chicken, hamburgers, fish or other there is heat from the stove or oven. In winter that is good, in summer not so good. The air fryer uses less electricity, so that saves money also. It is also handy to fix the side dishes. So while you are baking the chicken strips in the oven you can put french fries in the air fryer. Or fry other veggies, zucchini for example. Slice veggies, mix flour with preferred seasoning in a bowl or plate, beat a egg in a bowl, veggie of choice dipped in flour, then dredge in egg, then in flour again, set aside for a few minutes then lightly spay oil in basket or on veggies. place veggies in basket at between 350 degrees or higher, bake for approx 10 minutes. We have the 5 qt that has a divider so we can put in two veggies for a side dish. It is perfect for a single person in a small apartment, or older couple, like hubby and me, who no longer need to fix meals for a family. Make cornbread in air fryer while pinto beans are in pressure cooker (electric one) and we have a nice meal for cold days. Your review was good, give a person considering getting one the idea of what it is like.

I got the 5.3 XL a few days ago. Made chicken legs. I just patted dry, rubbed a little olive oil on and salt and pepper and poultry seasoning. (I did try the recipe in the book that came with it first and my husband loved it also, but wanted to try something a little simpler and both ways were great). Could only get one layer of 4 legs in it. They were delicious. I did add about 10 more minutes to the cooking time because the legs were pretty big and not at room temp.

[@ardellish]

Excellent review. However, two points were missed. 1. Minimal odors when cooking with Power Air Fryer. Two: Reheating foods from your favorite restaurant is awesome.

[@SellYourHomeEZ]

great review, very thorough and just what i was hoping for so thanks for your time, i'm exchanging my B&D for this one as it's slightly larger (3.4) than the 2L B&D which has pretty bad reviews but works well for me other than first unit did break before a year was done, other has all numbers just rubbed off so settings are not possible with accuracy. Agree with other comment here, the size is great for small families. You are right, it's nothing else but a small convection oven, but i use it to make fries as side dish, love it for a quick lunch (heat up slice of pizza and such). I would not do that in my oven as it's a waste of time/electricity for a small quantity. i do love chicken (parts) made in it and just making bread with melted cheese for a quick lunch.
