I took a chance on this small air fryer. So glad I did! Arrived so fast and have been testing it out. Works great. It’s perfect for quick items for grandkids - mozzarella sticks, burgers, and lots of other things. I have a larger Cosori and use that all the time and this will be a perfect compliment to that one.

I owned the Cuisinart all in one Air fryer but was very hard to clean even though I did still love it but after 4 years conked out. My BF owned the smaller version of this Power XL and decided to give it a try. This new bigger Power XL 10 Q Vortex Air Fryer is much easier to clean and noticed the chicken came out more tender than with my old Air Fryer. So yes love this new find! mar_3286 · ebay.com
