- LINK to Power AirFryer XL: amzn.to/2xamYe2 Hi Guys, today I’m reviewing the Power AirFryer XL. This is the 5.3 Quart size in black, it also comes in 3.4 Quart Size and you can choose from black or red. Like most airfryers, this one works by circulating hot air like a convection oven. This unit is 1700 watts. It measures 14.5 inches tall, 12.5 inches wide and 14.9 inches deep. The power cord is 45 inches long. Most people buy air fryers as an alternative to deep frying. You can make french fries and fried chicken in this unit using no oil or a small amount, a teaspoon or two. Hold the handle and pull out the basket. Slid the guard forward and push the red button down to release the non-stick fry basket. This is the food divider insert that slides down into the basket so you can cook two different types of food at the same time. To attach the fry basket, lower it into the outer basket and it locks. The baskets feel heavier than other air fryers I’ve reviewed. Slide it back into the unit tilting up a little. It doesn’t want to go in straight. In the back, there is an air outlet vent, don’t block it while using the unit, this is not something you want to put up against a wall. The Air Intake Vent is on top. Make sure there’s plenty of space around the airfryer when using. A recipe book is included. You can use an oven safe dish to cook in this unit.
Here’s the power button on the digital control panel. When you press power once, the default temperature is 370 degrees and cooking time is 15 minutes. Press the power button again to start cooking. Use the + and - buttons on the left to change cooking time one minute at a time or hold it down to change quickly. Use the + and - buttons on the right to change the cooking temperature 10 degrees Fahrenheit at a time. Holding it down will change the temperature quickly. The temperature can be set from 180 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
The M is for preset options. There are seven presets for french fries, roasting, shrimp, bake, chicken, steak and fish. Each preset has a time and temperature listed in the manual.
You don’t have to preheat the unit for cooking.
To turn the unit off during cooking, press the power button. The red heat light turns off and the blue fan icon spins for 20 seconds.
Before using, wash the outer and fry baskets with warm soapy water, both are dishwasher safe. Wipe the inside of the unit with a cloth.
Don’t fill the outer basket with oil. There is a max line on the basket so don’t fill above that.
We’ll cook french fries and fried chicken in this unit. The chicken was crispy and juicy. The french fries were cooked but uneven.

This is one of the best reviews on youtube I have ever seen. So often we get some kind of life story along with reviews, straight and to the point. Very informative.
😀👍
Very well said Bro
Mine came with no instructions or cookbook. You saved my sanity!
Yup lol
LOL on life story! Yes burning through my time. :-)
Well I guess I should my two cents in regarding this air fryer ,, my local Wal Mart had them on sale ( $ 87.99 Can. ) so I bought one. We used it for the first time last night, I'm sold !! really sold, I made lemon / garlic roast potatoes ,, turned out absolutely perfect in sixteen minutes, well done Power Air Fryer XL ,, and clean up was a breeze.
Thanks for sharing 😀
I got this for Christmas in 2018 and still use it in 2023. It’s amazing and is actually nicer than anyone else’s I’ve seen.
Making scratch French fries is best twice cooked. Low cook about 300 degrees until nearly cooked and finish off high temp about 400 degrees. I also start my chicken skin side down and flip half way
Aaron Davis You should do a video. Thanks for the tips
How long at 300??
@@LacyO86 Good morning. What works for me is 10 minutes 300, 5 minutes 400. Remember food temp, amount of food, machine and voltage will vary results. Enjoy!
@@Aaron.Davis56 thanks so much for your quick reply. 😃
Sadly mine up to 200F limit!!!!
Mine is almost 2yrs old. Runs like a champ and the basket has absolutely no stains or buildup.
Mine arrived this week, I absolutely love it! My cooker is now redundant, I use this AirFryer every day, I’ve cooked breaded fish, rump steak, pork chops, putting roast potatoes in with it all, chicken, all turned out lovely. I haven’t used the presets just used my own judgment, but I always pre heat on full for 5 mins first. Thanks from 🇬🇧 UK x
Thanks for sharing 😁
I have this exact fryer and OMG I love it. For the fries I have found that they cook faster then in this video so I check sooner then recommended and I also spray with extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil spray when I turn them over once and they turn out so crunchy and good, make sure you shake them good. I also spray the friend chicken , onion rings, mozzarella sticks, sausages, hamburgers , wings after I have turned them over it seems to give them an awesome crunch and helps the cooking process. Always use a thermometer to check meats
I was just gifted this air fryer without any instructions. Thank you so much for this review, told me everything I needed to know, and you got straight to the point so kudos for that❤
Happy it helped 😁
Thank You!...I was given a PowerAir Fryer without a manual, and after looking at several tutorials you were By Far The Best!!...so clear, precise, and easy to understand step-by-step instructions!
Glad it was helpful 😀
Hey how has the power air fryer held up?
You can go online and download the operators manual and recipe book.
I too got one given to me....ans this helped me immensely
Just got my air fryer. Made chicken legs and fries so far. For the fries I blanched them in salt water for five minutes first and then drained, and patted them dry. Tossed them in olive oil and some seasoning before air frying. They came out great. I also tossed them half way through instead of just shaking them. Type of potato must make a difference as well. I used red potatoes. Will try golden and russet soon. Chicken came out fantastic as well.
Hi Teresa, thanks for sharing your experience with this Airfryer 😀
Well I'm still gonna try red potatoes
They all taste the same
Do you still use it has it held up well?
My mom got me one of these for Christmas so I’m here for the review
Best air fryer video I have watched! Very informative and helpful! Thank you!
Thanks, Rebecca 😀👍
Indeed...straight forward, non-biased, and informative....simple and sweet
Hello well done review,thanks for including a few food demos to show actual foods cooked as well as the machines details found this very helpful without seeming rushed or confusing. Very professional without making 1st timers seem like idiots in the kitchen to such new food cookers.
I found one at my goodwill store and I got it pretty cheap ten dollars and I've been looking around for manuals/ videos and as well as reviews. I enjoy reading the postive comments about certain thing. Thanks again 😊
Glad I could help!
Got this for a Christmas gift. CANNOT WAIT to use it
😀
Mine was given as a gift. Just love it!
All video reviews should aspire to be this good. You did such a good job I refreshed the page and sat through the ad to say thank you. :)
Thanks so much, Thomas 😀
I have this air fryer and love it! My fryer has the temperature in Celsius which is the only difference.
😀👍
how did it held up so far?
I am sold! Thank you for the video. It was very well done. No pun intended.
😂👍
is there anyway to silent/mute the buttons?
You made my decision easy deep fryer just can't be replaced. Very informative.
I'm just here waiting patiently to take off. Lady sound like a flight attendant (also her hand gestures). well I just got this unit today. I cut the potatoes up into wedges, then boiled for 5 mins,(as recommended in the book) then added about 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil, and tossed with some complete seasoning and put in the air fryer at the preset, they came out perfect, all wedges fully cooked and a nice crisp on the outside.
Thank you very much! 🙂
I’m getting my first air fryer in a few days and I’m looking forward to trying it out !
👍
I received this unit for Christmas, so I found your video very, very helpful and timely. I think you covered all the bases, but I would ask do you think perhaps it would be best to use a meat thermometer when cooking meat in this unit?
absolutely fabulous presentation....you need to do this for commercial vendors
Here's a tip for doing french fries that are made from fresh potatoes. Microwave them first for about 6-9 minutes (depending on the strength of your microwave) and then use the AirFryer. Works every time with great results.
Thanks for sharing 😀
Great tip thanks
Even easier, use tongs to thoroughly mix the fries about halfway through. Also, add a few minutes to the cooking time.
@@pjamese3 Tong here, I was called.
I have one of these and it took 5 uses before the copper coating started to come off the basket. Ordered a new one and it’s 3 months back ordered. That tells me there is a problem with the coating. Sounds like they are making a little extra selling defective baskets.
You are very thorough, concise, great views of what you are doing, excellent review. Yes, makes me want one too!
Thanks 😀
this is a great air fryer-but found non stick coating started to remove in 2 uses-basket after a few more-looks awful now-although a couple of months old-going back to phillips-i was even hand washing to help-brilliant-but coating won't last!
Thanks for sharing 😀
Great unit for french fries, but you need to have the right technique. First cut your potatoes into fries and briefly boil them for 3-4 mins, then drain them and add a tbsp of oil + salt and any other seasoning such as paprika. By boiling them first will make them absorb the seasoning much better and will help achieve a crispy outside and a fluffy inside. Then toss and put in the air fryer. The key to have great fries is to toss them every 3-4 minutes to ensure you get an even golden crispiness for the whole batch, thus avoiding ending up with uncooked and burns chips at the end.
Best review I have seen yet. Makes me want to give it a shot, thanks
Thank You! 😀
I think the fries just needed a good turning with tongs. When you shook them they just didn’t move enough.
Tong here. I was called?
🤣🤣🤣
I agree. They needed shaken up a little more evenly. Plus, they should have been sprayed with a little oil. Also, could have used more seasonings, there are many out there, and you can get creative.
@@TongUtube Hilarious. Thank you!
@@virtualgrace251No problem, I am dedicated to turning those fries🍟
this might be one of the OG air fyrers for the consumer.
This is the best review by far very informative and clear better than reading the instructions 👍
Thanks 😀👍
@@bestkitchenreviews i just got a power air fryer xl, but I need the recipe book for the timing to cook, anyone know how to get one?
Target had a 2.4 that's 1200 watts. It's good for truckers. I have a 1500 watt inverter.
Enjoyed facts and how to guide. I will go try frying chicken. Little nervous with new cookers. everything is fast and HOT. People don't want to be in the kitchen all day. ME too!!
Thank you very much for your review. This was given to me as a gift but I have decided not to screw with it based on your review. I know my oven is wasting more juice but I can season my fry pan and away it goes, evenly without any turning. But this would be amazing to use at a park or some place where the oven is not available.
Thanks for sharing, Jesse 😀
I bought a Power AirFryer XL in April 2019 and fell in love with it at first use and have used it nearly every day since. Fast forward to October 2019, and suddenly the fan/motor noise isn't as loud (which you'd think would be nice, but clearly indicates a problem), things aren't as browned when the timer runs out, and when I remove the basket from the machine to shake it, the motor keeps running. I've tried cleaning it, but it made no difference. I was stunned to see it only has a 60 day warranty, and even if it were still under warranty, it would cost me $19.99 to get the company's warranty service. I will be replacing this air fryer in the near future (Black Friday sales, anybody?), but certainly not with another ASOTV Power AirFryer product. My next air fryer will be purchased based on deep research and not just price and how many stars it got on the seller site.
Seen it at target for Black Friday $49.99
I just got mine as a birthday gift. I'm going to try the fried chicken.
Great! Enjoy 😀
I have the 3.4 and it makes great food.
Thanks for sharing, David 😀
to get the fries better and more evenly cooked try shaking a few times while taking the basket out and flipping the fries over this works for me okay and all the fries are equally cooked .
I really enjoyed this review. You do a great job at explaining the minor details and your voice is pleasant to listen to. Great job!
Thanks for the wonderful comments, Mike 😀
I meant every word of it. Im hoping CZcams monitors this because you would do well as a reviewer of things.
Great review! Just got one for my birthday yesterday! Cannot wait to try it out! That chicken looks amazing!!
😀👍
Update: been using and LOVING it! I use it a ton!! I find frozen fries cook better than fresh. But i guess blanching the fresh ones would help. Steaks come out great. And chicken too. I'm loving the non stick easy clean up
Your demonstration is perfect 🥰 💞 👌 & easy to following.
thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful 😉
My friend got me this....I love it
👍
Good friend!
great review, super informative!!!! answered questions I didn't even think of like using an oven safe pan to bake desserts in the air fryer! gonna buy one for my mom for xmas! thank you!!
You’re welcome, Kate! Glad the review was helpful 😀
Thank you I’m expecting mine on Monday.
👍😀
Haha a year later I'm expecting mine this coming Monday
@@msbrt8638 I got mine today! would love your review. What do you think? x
I am sold I will be buying one soon
Just bought it yesterday. Thank you. I was wondering what the divider was in the first place.
😀👍
Got one 2day... was wondering myself.. lol
Hey can I ask you is still working for you? Is there any problems with it? I'm planning to get one this valentine
@@davidmendez9293 sorry just now seeing this. I don’t like it. I got a better from Amazon this particular one although those the work the basket the gold or copper eventually starts coming off. But it was good while I had it.
Is okay I didn't buy it in the end. I want to get a Cosori they seem better, thanks so much for letting me know! 🙏
Like the review but suggest using a meat thermometer on large pieces of chicken like you cooked.
+mzmarquette 😀
If you cook enough you won't need it. Some people get scared if chicken. I know when mine is done
How much does this one cost? Great review thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!👍💗
Do you have any updates on how well the Power AirFryer XL has performed and lasted after having it for a year? I'm reading conflicting views on Amazon. Thank you! Your chicken looked outstanding!!!!
This was a gift for Christmas 2017 and I love it. It's held up really well. It's fairly easy to clean (although bits of food do get stuck to the basket. I'm no great cook, but I make my own fries and the grandkids love them. Instead of deep frying, grilling or oven baking chicken, I can use the air fryer and cook them in half the time without heating up the whole house. I even made a fall apart tender beef roast. I recently found accessories for this air fryer and I'm ordering wire frames to cook food on multi layers.
The body of the cooker looks as new as the day I opened the box.
@@pjamese3 see, this is something what people call a 'review'.
After 6 months of moderate use, the copper coating started to peel. It’s so bad that it’s coming off the fry basket by sticking to the food. I do not recommend!
@prdawg Did you use any abrasive utensils on the basket or clean it with rough scouring pads?
Best review I have seen and helped me to know if I want one or not. Thank you.
Happy the review was helpful :)
I have a air fryer but it just goes to 30 min. no more.
Kristopher Michaels I have one and i love it!! I recomended to you👍👍
Hi there, I did get one, I have not used it yet as I have been sick. I still don't know what to cook first in it LOL.
Kristopher Michaels. You can cook french fries and chicken 😊
I belong to a Facebook group for this product and the members are saying frozen fries are actually better then fresh. Just an FYI!
Thanks for sharing, Sabrina 😀
bestkitchenreviews You're welcome! I just got mine yesterday and I haven't used it yet. I'm kinda scared! Lol! I'm researching it everywhere before I actually cook in it. I guess some people are afraid of the unknown! Haha! Wish me luck! 😁
Good luck 😀
The most important thing to remember, it is okay to mess up and have the recipe flop. Hubby and I have done that as we tried recipes from books, from online and ones we modified from "regular" recipes. It is trial and error, you learn from your mistakes. Bacon, you need to have something to weight the bacon strips down, put a wire mesh rack on top so they won't get blown all over the fryer. Put down parchment paper to help with mess, but make sure that you spread the food out or the paper can be pulled out from the pull of the air. When we made cookies, I just put them close enough to the edge to keep the paper from moving and from covering the cookies so they could bake. If you are baking something that needs to have vents cut into it, do so after you turn it over. We learned the hard way when we made Stromboli to cut the vent after we turned it over so the cheese wouldn't melt out and make a mess.
This is so true
It cooks well, however, over time the gold coating in the inside bottom of the fryer basket bubbles and flakes off.
Wow, what an excellent video review! thanks.
Glad you liked it, George 😀
Thank you
Is this only for air frying foods? Or does it bake and grill as well like the phillips brand?
I have this air fryer. I found putting anything on 400 is just not good. If a recipe calls for 400 I put mine on 390. If I have to cook something a little longer it's better than burning it
great review and demonstration!
Merry Christmas everyone 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for very good review I have but I’m not ysed thanks for help
😀👍
So what is considered the best air fryer on the market currently? I bought the one from bed bath bc of the 20% power air fryer but Im worried if its the best one when compared to the phillips? I want something that will last. If i can get a phillips for 50 bux more & its better and will last longer its worth the extra money considering the power air fryer as seen on tv from bed bath only had a 60 day money back....
Thanks!
That chicken, looks good too.👍
Just bought mine!
😀
I have this one and I love it!
Thanks for sharing, Barbara :)
Great Reviewed. I did all the steps for French fries, took it out, Shake it and put them back in. After is done it got burned 😭😭😭? What happened?
I have a Power one, we generally use fries we bought from the grocery store that are partly cooked. If you used that type and put it on the set temps and for the suggested time it would have been too long and have burned them. A lot of cooking/baking/frying in the air fryer is trial and error. What works in one brand has to be on a different temp and time than another one. When half way done, we take our fries out, used a wooden spoon to stir them up so they are more evenly mixed. They come out really, really good. Pork chops, chicken, hamburgers, Stromboli, baked potatoes and much more.
Hi Kelvin, it could that your fries required less time to cook. The cooking time depends on the thickness of the fries and type of fries. Try cooking them for less time and I hope that works :)
oh ok thank you
This is really a review. More instructional then review.
Wow!! u are really good at this review thing!!
Thanks, Brian 😀
Great review!! Thanks much!!
😀
Great review. Very helpful. Thanks.
😀👍
Good review, the only thing I would have a problem with, and it is really just personal likes, is to use olive oil. We want to get away from the trans-fat and such oils and olive oil does great for us, not a strong flavor and a spritzer was in the box with the Power XL 5.3 qt. We love ours, tossed the deep fryer out two days later and don't regret it.
Thanks for sharing, Janna :)
Try avacado oil too
The power air fryer oven is better because if you put the french fries in the basket the basket moves and rotate so the fries won't stick
Great review so helpful, need to invest in one of these right away.
Thoroughly enjoyed your review
Glad you liked it 😀
Chicken looks crispy and juicy and tender
👍😀
Why has my red light stopped coming on only the blue fan. Light is on I only bough it 2 days ago...
I have the same air fryer and my fries have been cooking for 45 minutes and still not cooked.
Oven chips are great in this! 😀
Hi how do you chnage it to 400f mine only goes uptown 200 c
400 F is 200 C 😁
What is the rubber bit at the bottom on the outer basket?...there is a small screw in it
Great presentation thank you
Glad you liked it 😀👍
Thank you + bestkitchenreviews. Great review
+Carol Binnie You're welcome 😀
Can I fry a 2 inches wide and 12i nches long and how long to cook it
Thank you so much
😀
You did a great Job!
Thanks 😀
Chicken looks dope
Great video
Hi Anita, have you tried air frying fish? How did it turn out? Thank you!! Excellent video!!
Great review. Thanks!
You’re welcome, Vanessa 😀
Good video informative and straight to the point no waffling on.
😀👍
Which one is better power or ninja I seen both your videos which one will you recomend?
Mines rusted out really bad, havent had it a year..I dont recommend
Costcon brand air fryer also basket chips less than a year after purchases
I read somewhere that after airfryer is dried, give it another minute of completely drying out in airfryer.
+ bestkitchenreviews, do you find it's quite easy to clean it Anita ?
Hi Carol, yes it's easy to clean since the fry basket is non-stick. Much easier than the steel mesh baskets in other air fryers 😀
Yes I find that also. I wanted your opinion. Thank you for responding Anita
Great video, thank you !
👍😀
You have review of the Ninja one too, which one appeared better in your opinion?
Thank you. Very informative and thorough review.
Glad you liked it 😀
You do a great job with your reviews! I am looking into getting an Air Fryer but am really confused on which one to get. Out of all the air fryers you've tried, is there one that you would choose over the others or recommend? Thank you so much!
Hi, glad you like the reviews! I would recommend the Philips Air Fryer. Here is my review if you want to watch:
