If you have the counter space to keep this multifunctional PowerXL air fryer/griller out in the kitchen with its baking, roasting, pizza, and reheat settings, you may be using this appliance at every meal! The PowerXL 8-in-1 Air Fryer Grill holds a strong place in our list of Best Air Fryers. It boasts a large capacity for family-sized meals and comes with several accessories, including a nonstick grill pan, stainless steel mesh air fry basket, a baking pan and a roasting rack, rotisserie spit, a drip tray, plus a recipe book.
A big bonus for those who love to grill without the hassle, you can create delicious char-grilled meals indoors with the same outdoor grill marks and juicy flavor with its die-cast grill plate with raised ridges.
