Puravo Glass
The 6-quart air fryer with a glass bowl and steel racks, so there is nothing to peel into dinner. Watch it crisp through the side, scrub it as hard as you like, put it in the dishwasher.
Our third air fryer in four years. The last basket started shedding black bits into the fries with two kids at the table. This one is glass and steel and I scrub it like a pan. Wings come out better, honestly.Heather S. · Indianapolis
Third air fryer in four years, black flakes in the fries, a basket you are not allowed to scrub. Here is what changes from the first dinner.
A 6-quart bowl of borosilicate glass, the same glass as lab ware and good ovenware, made to take 200°C every night. You see the wings go golden, the fries brown, the skin on the chicken blister, without opening anything and dumping the heat.
Six quarts is a family batch: a whole chicken, a pound and a half of wings, fries for four.
Every part that touches your food is bare 304 stainless steel or glass: the mesh basket, the round rotisserie basket, the skewers. No non-stick, no ceramic coat, no "PFOA-free" sticker doing a lot of work. There is simply nothing on the surface to come off.
The plastic on this fryer is the lid housing and the handles. It sits above and outside the food, never in it.
The lid unit carries a 1600-watt carbon heating element and a fan that pushes hot air around the whole bowl, 360 degrees. Carbon elements come to temperature fast and run hot, so fries crisp instead of going soft, and chicken skin blisters instead of sweating.
No bulb to burn out, no warm-up ritual. Set it, load it, go.
Drop a chicken in the steel rotisserie basket, click it onto the drive, and it turns slowly under the element until the skin is crisp all the way round. Same basket does fries and wings, tumbling them so every piece gets the heat.
The motor runs off the mains, not four AAA batteries that die on a Sunday afternoon.
A touch panel on the lid with a temperature you set anywhere from 40 to 200°C and a timer up to 60 minutes. Dehydrate apple slices at 60. Roast at 180. Blast wings at 200. It does what you tell it, not what a button labelled "chicken" thinks you want.
Overheat protection and a locking bowl mean it will not run without everything seated.
The lid unit lifts straight off, so the glass bowl becomes the serving dish. Roast vegetables, potatoes, wings: from the counter to the middle of the table in one move. When dinner is done, the bowl and every steel part go in the dishwasher.
An internal cooling fan and locking handles keep the outside of the lid cool enough to handle. The heat-proof mat and glove are in the box for the bowl itself.
An air fryer is a heater, a fan and a container. Most makers spend on the container's coating. We spent on the element, and made the container out of things that do not wear out.
A 1600 W carbon element in the lid comes to temperature in seconds and runs hotter than a standard tube element, which is what turns the surface of a fry crisp before the inside goes soft.
A fan behind the element drives hot air down the walls of the glass bowl, under the raised steel basket and back up. Food sits in moving heat on every side. The rotisserie basket adds the tumble.
Borosilicate glass and 304 steel do not flake, chip or peel. Year one and year five are the same. You clean them with whatever you want.
Every Puravo Glass is heat-tested before it ships, and covered for two years after.
What a typical family kitchen sees.
Fries at 200 for 15 minutes. You stand there and watch them brown through the glass. Nobody opens a drawer.
Wings, sticky sauce. You go at the steel basket with a scourer out of habit and stop, then remember you are allowed. Then the dishwasher.
A whole bird in the rotisserie basket, 45 minutes, skin crisp all the way round. The bowl goes to the table.
Most dinners happen in the glass. The steel looks like it did on day one, because it is steel.
The honest worry. Some glass fryers are exactly that. Three reasons this one is not.
A 1600 W carbon element, not a 1200 W tube or a halogen bulb. It gets to 200°C fast and holds it, which is what crisping needs.
The steel mesh basket sits up off the glass so hot air passes under the food, not just over it. Fries brown on the bottom too.
For wings and fries, the rotation basket turns the food through the airflow. No shaking the drawer halfway.
Twenty years testing the coatings on cookware for what comes off them. This is the fryer in her own kitchen.
Every non-stick coating is a film a few microns thick, and every one of them wears. The only question is how fast and where the material goes, and the answer to the second one is your dinner. I do not argue about which coating is safest. I take the coating out of the equation. Glass and 304 stainless are what we use in the lab because they do not give anything up. This is the fryer I bought for my own family.
Every row is something you can check on the box or in the manual.

The Cosori started shedding black bits into the fries with two kids at the table, that was it for me. This is glass and steel and I scrub the basket with a scourer like a pan. Wings at 200 for 18 minutes are honestly better than the drawer ever did.
No more pulling the drawer out four times and letting the heat out. I watch the taquitos go golden through the side and pull them at the right minute. Bowl is heavy when it's full, use the glove they give you.
Whole 4 lb chicken in the spinning basket, 50 minutes, skin was crisp right round and the wife said it was better than the rotisserie from the store. Fries take maybe three minutes longer than my old basket did. Fair trade for nothing peeling. Four stars because of that.
I read every label for months. Wanted glass, wanted steel, wanted a real temperature setting so I could do 160 for her veggies. This is the only one I found under $200 that does all of that. Dishwasher takes the bowl. Done.
I abuse this thing. Wings with sticky sauce, salmon, whatever. Bowl and basket in the dishwasher every single night for two months and the steel looks like it did out of the box. My old basket looked like a war zone by week six.
It's just me now and heating the big oven for one portion of fries felt silly. This sits on the counter, does my fish and my potatoes, and the glass bowl is pretty enough to leave out. Grandkids like watching it.
Unbox it, run it empty once, then make fries.
Bowl, basket, rotisserie basket and skewers through the dishwasher or the sink. That is all the prep there is.
Ten minutes at 200°C with nothing in it, window open. Every new heater does this once. Then never again.
Basket in, fries in, 200°C, 15 minutes. Stand there and watch them through the glass. You will.
The rotisserie basket and skewers are in the box, not an upsell. Keep the box for 60 days in case you want to send it back.
For people who are done buying replacement baskets and done wondering what is in the fries.
If the first list sounds like your kitchen, this is the fryer. And you have 60 days of dinners to prove it.
