We received an #Emeril Lagasse Power AirFryer 360 as a gift, opened it and it's missing the rotisserie stand. Called to request one, wouldn't send one without the receipt. Suggested we buy one instead.

I purchased an Emeril Lagasse Power Airfryer 360Plus March 2023. It has worked well except that the PLUG MELTED to the back of the airfryer. We will have to throw it away to avoid electrocution which is likely with continued use. The company can not be contacted. The Owner’s Manual website (TristarCares.com) is no longer active. A Google search for Tristar Products led another defunct website, and eventually to an official website; however, the listed contact email address is no longer valid. I hoped that a company selling products with Emeril Lagasse’s name would have more integrity and better customer service. This is a serious flaw in design and a serious breach of customer service.

Tristar had a Xmas deal on the Food sealer, which was buy one get one Free. Ordered Dec 11 2022 as Xmas gifts, and did not receive any products, after numerous calls they finally shipped only one of the items. Back to the phone, this time we were told one was black and it was on a back order, but would send a gray one right out. 2 weeks later no product, so called again and was told they canceled the item due to backorder, so I asked how they could cancel the free one and was told I did not understand I got my product and was not charged for the free one so they owe me nothing. Customer service was RUDE and tried to double talk about the problem and ANTHONY hung up on me. BUYER BEWARE.

Really loved my Power XL purchased for my other house. This 2nd product I purchased worked well and did a fantastic job. And then it quit...Never to start again. So disappointed. I really loved it when it worked.

The PowerXL Air Fryer works good and we like everything about it. It's just sometimes it smokes a little when we're cooking with it and the grease is hitting the bottom. Also, now they're on sale at Walmart, the exact same thing for $69, and we paid almost 200 for it. That's the only thing we don't like.

The Power AirFryer has been limited. Maybe I'm not using it at a high enough power but I tried to do a grilled cheese the other day and it didn't get brown. Other than that, I've done hard-cooked eggs and they turned out well. I also did salmon and asparagus and it was pretty good. The cleanup isn't too bad. I have air fryer parchment that I can lay down. The thing of it is, half the time it's easy to turn the oven on and throw stuff in the big oven. I'm not really thrilled.

The first PowerXL AirFryer Grill I received was defective. The timer would not work on it so I had to send it back. I got a new one last week and I've used it twice. It looks very sturdy and I like it because I can do anything in it. I can grill, air fry, plus bake. It has a rotisserie, which is very nice because I love to do rotisserie chickens. It takes place of three-fourths of the other appliances I've been using. Also, it has worked perfectly for anything that I've wanted. The cheese toast was the most perfect cheese toast in the world. I also brought home some pizza and I used it for reheating. It says up to 10 minutes but it didn't take three minutes to get the pizza perfectly heated and crispy. It was wonderful and it's a very simple, easy cleanup. It doesn't cause popping grease spots or anything like that in it.

I use my Power AirFryer grill now and then, but it wants to burn everything. I try to go by the recipe, but I have to time it about in half in order to flip it. Also, I was scared because you gotta be careful because it's hot, too, when you flip it. You'd have to clean it after every time you use it. There's no way of letting it sit. It's even worse than a microwave. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody.

The Power AirFryer is a pretty nice little thing. They initially sent me the wrong one and I had to send it back. That wasn't very good and I waited longer to get the second one. Also, I've had to adjust. Sometimes I would follow their recipe for the turkey and it would be too done. But everything else has turned out just fine. I like the AirFryer so far.

I purchased an Emeril Power mainly for health reasons. A lot of my family and friends were speaking in regards to the air frying and being getting up there in age, I wanted to make better quality foods. So far, it's been killing it because I haven't turned my oven on since I bought it. Cooking has been a breeze. We mainly do chicken, fish, french fries, and things of that nature and so far, we haven't had a meal that was bad. The cleanup is easy. It's enough for the family, too.

I love our XL Fryer. We fix a lot of steaks, chicken, pork chops, and ribs in it. We've done a little bit of everything with it. It's so easy to clean up. I just spray it down and then I'll stick it in the dishwasher. It's very simple.

I ordered the forever pan set and smokeless grill. Showed out of stock for over 2 weeks. The order shipped and my credit card charged. Emailed company that order hasn't moved. They replied with tracking information and that one part order was to be delivered today. FedEx tracking states label created for this portion of order but it will not be delivered today, FedEx doesn't have it. Tristar didn't even track it. The other half of order says it will be delivered tomorrow, however, it was just received in Connecticut, I'm in Missouri. Isn't going to delivered by promised date. Customer service at Tristar products is dismal at best. Will never purchase any of Emeril Lagasse or Tristar products in the future!

The quality of our Power AirFryer oven seemed pretty good. I like cooking banana bread in it, and it turns out great.

I've cooked French fries, onion rings and other stuff that I want crispy on the AirFryer, and they turned out not too bad. However, all my pans burnt, even the drip pan, and I can't get them clean at all. It’s ridiculous to try and get the burnt stuff off of the grills. It gets stuck, and they’re totally ruined already. I didn't know I had to line everything with aluminum foil. If I was going to broil steak or spareribs full of sauce, I’d understand that. I also spoke to the company. If you get a bit of dirt on your hands, you can't turn the knob. It just slips on you. There should be grooves, so it wouldn't be so slippery. You're working with a machine that wants to burn you. If I was to buy another one, it wouldn't be the AirFryer grill again.

I wanted to try an air fryer. I liked the price and the stuff that came with the Tristar product that doesn't come with other ones. The air fryer is okay but it takes a lot of getting used to. I went from a toaster oven to that. I've done my dinners using the air fryer but I haven't done veggies yet. I’ve done pork chop and chicken breasts. The grill is very good and I like using that. You just have to keep your eyes on it. On the whole, I told others that I liked the air fryer and that’s what I’ve been using.

I like the results of everything that I do in the power airfryer oven. I have cooked pizza in it and it does a very good job. The crust was nice and it wasn't soggy. I like everything about the oven. But I have a little problem figuring out the controls. For me, it's not made clear enough what each button does. I'm beginning to catch on now but it took me quite a while. A little bit better instructions would have helped. Because sometimes, I just want to cook the food for 30 minutes at 350 degrees but I couldn't always get there. So I was a little frustrated.

I had a small air fryer that my friend had bought me but it didn't hold very much and you would have to cook twice in order to get enough for both of us. I got the Power AirFryer grill and it has so much more room so I can fix a full meal for myself or two people in that easily. When I ordered my air fryer, I got it in five days, which was quick. It came with both instructions and a cookbook. I took it out of the box and plugged it in. I did it myself and I'm 74 years old. There's no difficulty setting it up. My favorite thing about it is I can quickly do baked potatoes. I get mine done in about 35 minutes and that is with three really big potatoes in there. They're completely done and they have the crispness on the outside and the softness inside. I love the air fryer for that.

I was wanting the air fry capability as well as the rotisserie part of the Power AirFryer. Everything went flawlessly. It arrived when stated, and all the parts were there. I plugged it in and it worked. I like the way that it does air fry things. It's a quicker time. I've grilled steaks in it that turned out perfect. I like the appliance overall.

I don’t like the AirFryer Oven. I tried to use it two times. I can’t get the AirFryer to fry the chicken. It’s not turning out crispy. And the rotisserie, it wasn’t done. The instruction manual is also a little confusing.

The PowerXL Air Fryer Grill is fantastic. I cook venison, fish, steaks, and hamburgers in it and I don't have to heat the whole house with the big oven. The burgers are juicier than being put in a pan or in the oven, pork chops are great on it, and soups seem to heat up best in it. Also, the cleanup is almost better than a microwave. I just wipe it out and the spatter is gone.

I like heating up stuff in the power airfryer. I've had very good experience with it.

The power airfryer oven appears very nice. It looks very impressive to me. I’m happy.

We liked the idea that the Power AirFryer Oven is a combo convection oven and air fryer and I'm pleased with the way it works. But I'm not satisfied with how they stood behind it. I opened the door one time and it had no spring on it. The door just fell down and it wouldn't close. We called the company but we were out of warranty and they told us that there wasn't a part that they could send to us for us to repair it because that was done in the factory as it was put together. The only recourse was to buy a new oven and I found it really upsetting. We really liked the oven so we replaced it but that whole experience kind of left a bitter taste in my mouth. They gave us a discount but it wasn't worth the effort.

We used our Power AirFryer for toasts and pizza. I like that it makes the perfect bagel, toast, and English muffin. I like the air fryer option of it. It did good potato fries. I wish it was a little faster like my toaster oven, but I like it. The letters are silver so they're hard to read. But if someone was to purchase it, I love that it's an all-in-one unit.

We used the Power AirFryer for chicken one night. The chicken was crispy but not crunchy crispy. My husband also hated the clean-up. He said it was harder to clean up. It was just as easy to do it in the oven and the oven never got all these splattered greasy stuff on them. I also don't know how to use it so I would need more recipes.

We use the Power AirFryer oven more as a toaster oven and it takes longer to toast than our toaster. We're not excited about that. Also, we air-fried some chicken cutlets and they didn't get as crispy as we wanted and the inside got too dried out. We were a little disappointed.

My PowerXL Air Fryer Grill seems to be well made. It cuts down on the time to cook stuff. Also, I can cook different stuff and at the same time, compared to the other ones that were out there. I can do multiple layers of stuff in it. Cook a turkey. It has rotisserie. And with the air fryer, I get the fat out and I eat healthier. I recommend it to somebody up in Massachusetts and she bought one. She likes it.

I love the power airfryer oven. It does everything I needed to do. The only problem I have with it is the numbers around the knobs are completely gone. I've worn them out by the third day that I had it. They came completely off and I can't remember where the minutes are.

I had a friend who loaned me an Emeril Lagasse, which was one of those canister type things. And it worked very well. When I ordered my Power Airfryer Oven, I went with everything. I like it so far and I’ve cooked steak in it. People should go with it.

I use the Power AirFryer Grill every day and it's awesome. It cooks very evenly. I make everything it and I bake a lot in it, too. I'm eating healthier.

We bought the Power AirFryer Oven for my daughter-in-law and it works perfect. It's good quality.

The AirFryer Grill makes things a little simpler. I've made burgers and fries in it and they turned out pretty good. I'm happy with it.

I've just started to use the air fryer. I'm still trying to figure out how to regulate it. I'm still getting used to the grilling part, and the things that I am grilling to not sort of overcook but I like it.

My larger oven went on the fritz and I couldn't cook. I checked on the price of them and they were way too high. I saw the Power oven on the TV and saw the price wasn't too bad. I got myself a little oven and used my debit card to pay for it. I used it once or twice to toast. I haven't figured out the uses that the guy did on TV. I'm an old woman living by myself and it's hard to cook for one person. Even though it's a little oven, you can cook a lot in it. I'm thinking about cooking a steak and some mozzarella sticks today. I can do that on two different levels. The oven is simple and the clean-up is easy. You put this stuff in the dishwasher, push a button, and let it do its thing. It then comes out clean.

During the demonstration, I liked how good the food looked and how quickly the air fryer cooked it. Ordering the item went good and everything went right through. I love all the features although I wish I had more baskets to go with it.

I’ve used the Power XL AirFryer for grilling and it turned out good. Cleaning it after was not bad. It was straightforward.

I saw Tristar Products' air fryers and things in there and they didn't seem quite as large. I live with a friend of mine and there's not much space, so I got the air fryer to have it in my room. It's not like going into the kitchen and getting the oven started. It's right there. It's convenient. Buy one. It's good quality.

I bought 5quart air fryer and it quit after 2 months. I called and company. Would not do anything because of no receipt. I recommend to not buy one or they will take your money. This is posted on Facebook also.

The quality of the Power AirFryer is good and it's easy to operate.

Ordering the Power AirFryer Oven was easy. They had the regular one advertised on TV. When I called, the salesperson on the phone said that they had an upgrade to it, this front door one with larger capacity and more power and that was when I purchased the upgrade.
