The AirFry Supreme XL: An Oven That Cannot Fit a Chicken Wing

Despite "XL" in the name, this air fryer is smaller than a shoebox. You can cook exactly 3 french fries at a time, which is not a serving — it is a garnish.

The AirFry Supreme XL: An Oven That Cannot Fit a Chicken Wing

The word "XL" in the AirFry Supreme XL is doing more heavy lifting than the appliance itself. This air fryer, which costs $179 and promises "family-sized portions," has an internal cooking capacity roughly equivalent to a coffee mug.

I attempted to cook chicken wings. Plural. The basket accommodated exactly two. Two chicken wings, touching each other awkwardly like strangers on a crowded subway. For a family of four, you would need to run approximately 47 batches. Dinner would be ready by breakfast.

The Temperature Lies

The digital display claims the AirFry Supreme reaches 400 degrees in "just 3 minutes." I placed a thermometer inside. After 3 minutes: 180 degrees. After 10 minutes: 240 degrees. After 30 minutes: it plateaued at 310 degrees and gave up. The display still proudly read 400. This air fryer is not just underperforming — it is actively lying to your face.

French fries emerged pale and sad, like they had been gently warmed by a desk lamp. Chicken tenders were raw in the middle and burnt on the edges, achieving the rare culinary feat of being simultaneously undercooked and overcooked.

The Cleaning Situation

The non-stick basket lost its non-stick coating after the second use. Food now adheres to it with the tenacity of industrial cement. I have soaked it, scrubbed it, and considered throwing it into the sun. The coating is currently flaking off in small pieces that I desperately hope are not ending up in my food but almost certainly are.

The Verdict

The AirFry Supreme XL is neither supreme nor XL. It is a overpriced Easy-Bake Oven with a marketing team. Use your regular oven. It is bigger, hotter, and does not lie about its temperature.
