Customers are saying

Customers praise the Air Fryer Max XL for its ease of use, excellent cooking performance, and great size. Many appreciate its ability to produce crispy food and the larger capacity. While some noted a plastic smell initially and a higher-than-expected noise level, the majority of users found the air fryer to be a worthwhile purchase.

    The plastic smell it emits is nauseating. The bake setting emitted a different very gross smell. It make work, but not sure I want the stinch when I'm preparing food. Big turnoff. Great if you're dieting because you don't have an appetite after. Nasty. So much for high praises it gets in reviews.

    Haven't used it long enough for a full review, but it's fine so far. My only cons for now is the footprint on counter, it takes up a nice chunk, considering we don't have a big counter. Other than that, it is just fine.

    Loved it, right up until month 14 when it died. No power no sign of life like the self-destruct timer went off to get me to buy a new one. Nope, went with another brand this time.

    Excellent air fryer but a little frustrated that food hopper had a screw sitting in the bottom of it rather than secured inside. It is stripped out so may need to request new hopper.

    Works well, however for the space there’s really not much you can do. I recently upgraded to the ninja foodi grill and I haven’t used this appliance since.

    Subjective review

    Not a small appliance--HUGE. Yes I read the size online but it's larger in person. A con of internet buying. Smelled out of box but I followed Q&A advice...wash, heat 20 min, wash, heat 20 & smell is gone. Main problem is heat escaping from bottom of unit & the vent in back. The cord is too short to put back side of unit near stove exhaust fan. I live in the desert and don't need 400 degrees of hot air competing with the A/C. I put my crock pot outside in summer but it's no maintenance for 5 hours. With this unit I have to shake it every 6/7 minutes to prevent burning and promote even cooking. I don't want to be running in & out with it being 110 degrees outside. Guess I will put it away till winter when I want to heat up the house. By the way, it's so large it won't fit in my largest kitchen cupboard and it makes the counter look very cluttered. Lot of money for a seasonal appliance.

    Decent machine. Can't air fry large amounts of food as advertised. 20 fries is probably too many to put in fryer. Not a fan.

    This needs a better instruction booklet. It also needs an online recipe book and how to use it.
