    I just came across this. I have the power xl and it’s amazing. I’ve had no issues with any of the settings I’ve used including grilling. I have grill marks whenever I use mine. I’m not sure if everyone realizes you can set your own time and temperature. It’s also a awesome slow cooker, rice cooker, sauté and fry pan. Not to mention amazing air fryer. For the 89$ I paid it’s amazing!

    I bought my granddaughter a Power XL a year ago and she loves it. Even her husband uses it. She uses it for everything . I decided to buy one even though I have a Ninja air fryer that I love. The Ninja grill is way too expensive for the size. .So I bought the XL and I like it allot.

    What I just learned from using it on center cut pork chops was you have to let it heat up to 500 degrees like a grill. About 10 min or so. Did the same thing you did with the ninja on the xl.

    I love my Power XL Grill. I get great grill marks on mine, but I bought it with the cast iron grilling plate. I turn it up to 500 degrees to sear the outside and leave the grill marks. Nice and pink in the center. I do ribs that are fall off the bone perfect as well. And chicken is off the hook, crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle.

    I own the Power XL and IMHO the only way to cook a prime cut of steak in it is with the sous vide setting and then searing it on a flat top or cast iron skillet. I have done this on multiple occasions with great success. HAPPY COOKING!!!

    You do have to flip the food after half way of cooking to make sure that it cooks evenly on both sides. I love mine. I just had to learn how much time that it actually takes to cook food because their preset timer is not always right. So it just takes common sense to figure out how long to cook stuff when you know how to cook food. Also, to make air fried chicken after you season and flour the chicken spray some cooking oil on it and wet it with a little water to make sure all the chicken is fully wet to where you see no dry flour showing so when you air fry it it will look and taste like fried chicken.

    Power XL makes my impossible burgers perfect at only about 3 minutes per side. Slow cooker mode is actually more efficient than my crock pot. Air fryer does what it is supposed to do however I still prefer deep fried in oil better. Hot dogs get grill marks on them, and perfectly done in about 4 minutes. Very pleased it gets an A from me.

    Power XL grilled my 2" thick Tri-tips perfectly. Set on 450 for 5 min (after warm-up), then 350 for 7 min. Medium rare and perfect. For non-cooks who expect set and forget steaks, results will vary

    Thank you so much for this video review! I'd just treated myself to the power xl today because it was only $90, BUT, like you, my main interest was the GRILL function. I already have an air fryer, all the other gadgets (which I'd hoped to pare down with the XL). I own an upper condo unit, no grills of any type allowed on our balconies. Luckily I'd only opened the box, didn't take anything out except the recipe book (the focus on air fryer recipes and lack of grilled recipes was a flag). XL going back ASAP. Thanks!!

    I have the Power XL machine. I followed all the instructions in the owners manual, I had no problem with the sear/grill function. I even tried sou vede steak before grilling. It was amazing. I’ve made beef and broccoli in it along with rice too, and it was excellent. After you run an initial cycle to burn off the coating, you let it cool then wash with soap and water and a damp cloth. I had no smell after that. Did you have it at the highest grill temp? And did you wait for the “insert food” message? It’s strange yours worked so half way, maybe cause I had the deluxe model?

      @@PandawdyBob no, I don’t really get grill marks either, but I don’t mind since it’s just for me. I have a power xl full size oven style air fryer that comes with a huge grill plate and it makes nice grill marks. I usually don’t let my food sit long enough to make grill marks anyway. I get a few lines doing chicken or pork cause I leave it on longer. I like my steak medium rare so it is a fairly quick cook.

    So i was looking for a video to grill steak in Power XL. I watched your video and was skeptical on how my steak would come out. After cooking i have to disagree. I put the fryer on the grill setting. It shows preheat on display. After PH i cooked for about 5 min a side. I hade gril marks and even cook. It juicy with outer crust. You should cook again and fo a video. Thank you

      I did read the directions and allowed it to preheat. I tried steaks twice with the same low quality results. It left more of a flat grilled area (no different than you could get with a pan) and just does NOT compare with the Ninja. It's a night and day difference.

      Which one? The Ninja in my video is the higher end model with the cooking thermometer. I realize they make a larger version (more grill space), but I don't need anything that big. I have zero complaints with it, even now, weeks after buying. I use it almost daily as an air fryer and 2-3 times a week for the grill.
