Air Fryer XL by Cozyna (5.8QT) with airfryer cookbook (over 50 recipes) and a basket divider

I just got this about a week ago after several strong recommendations from foodie friends who took my earlier advice on getting an Instant Pot. My goal is to make all weeknight dinners in 30 minutes or less and with minimal effort. This air fryer fits the bill. My first meal was a 16oz ribeye steak, and while not *exactly* the same as grilled, I got a medium-rare steak with decent searing on it in 12 minutes. I've also done hot wings a few different ways and the biggest highlight is that you can put frozen wings in the basket and just add time, and they wings still come out pretty crispy (and not oily). I tried bacon and I'd rate it a B+, but think I can get it exactly how I like it with a few tweaks to the process. I haven't tried anything breaded but I'm gluten free so I'll have to defer to others on those types of items.So far I've had no food smoking (just add a few teaspoons of water into the drippings tray under the food basket, and any oily foods are good to go with no smoking. The basket and tray are easy to clean, even easier if you line the bottom of the tray portion with tin foil (don't block the basket vents though, may affect cooking time/quality I've heard)!Overall hugely satisfied ESPECIALLY for the price, no need for something crazy pricey when it does the same thing. In terms of interface, very basic and has a high-temp limit of 400 degrees, with a temperature select dial and a timer that goes up to 30 minutes.Strongly recommend!

Since getting this fryer a few weeks ago most of our meals have been made in this. From chicken, omelets, steak to french fries. We love using this machine and have since bought another one. It is simple to use, very easy to clean and I have even used a bit of the drippings from foods to make flavored dog treats. Chicken wings came out golden and crispy with no breading or extra oil. My husband even fried bacon. The nice thing about having two is that in one, you can make your veggies/fries/etc and in the other- your protein. I would encourage someone considering a fryer to make sure you buy the bigger one like this one. The smaller ones are good for a small snack or side dishes but not if you have more than one person waiting for their meal. This is a must-have in the kitchen.* I should have also mentioned that the air fryer accessories are a wonderful addition although they do not fit well into the Power XL 2.4 but seem to fit perfectly into anything bigger. I didn't notice that when I purchased but discovered that small metal baking pans, mini loaf aluminum foil pans and individual silicon muffins tins work great. We also use spray olive oil when lightly coating French fries. I also found round parchment paper on Amazon but it has holes and I'm not sure if they are really necessary since the fryer cleans up so easily.

Update to update 11/15/2018: Called company. So helpful! They sent me new baskets. Received within days. Product works excellent and I use it all the time. The Teflon on the first basket was a fluke. The new ones work great and show no signs of flaking after several months of heavy use. Love this product and their customer service.Update: Purchased 6/21/18, as of today the coating on both the basket and the drawer is peeling off and I can no longer use this product because the coating is left on my food. It is past the 30 day refund period and I was instructed to contact the manufacturer. I wasted my money!Best Appliance I have ever purchased! If you are on the fence as to whether you need a air fryer or not, do not hesitate. Buy one! I chose the Cozyna because of the size and reviews. There is one with a stainless basket, without the Teflon coating, but it is $200 more. This one meets all my needs and then some. I am enjoying not using the oven in the summer and the speed in which it cooks everything. Not too mention how the food tastes! Crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Bacon! Flat perfectly cooked slices without having to hover over to keep from burning. And no splattered grease. Baked sweet potatoes, baked chicken, roasted veggies, you name it!
