Welcome back to Reviews Inside TV — the place where smart buying decisions start. Today, we’re cracking open something that claims to replace your fryer, oven, grill, and even your cake pan… all in one go. It’s the GoWISE USA XL 8-in-1 Digital Air Fryer, a 5.8-quart countertop beast that promises big flavor with little to no oil. It’s white, it’s sleek, and it’s pitching itself as your all-in-one kitchen sidekick. But does this machine really earn a permanent spot on your countertop, or is it just another overhyped gadget? Let’s see what’s cooking.
This air fryer comes loaded with a 1700-watt heating element, giving it some serious muscle in the performance department. It features a large, touch-sensitive digital menu with 8 preset functions — fries, pork, chicken, steak, shrimp, cake, fish, and pizza — giving you one-tap access to popular meals. The temperature can be dialed anywhere from 180 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit in 10-degree increments, and the timer maxes out at 30 minutes. There’s also a new start/stop button that lets you adjust time and temperature mid-cook, plus a shake reminder that beeps at 5, 10, or 15-minute intervals to keep things evenly crisped. The 5.8-quart basket is PFOA-free, non-stick, and comes with a cool-touch handle and safety guard to keep things secure. And yes, it includes a 50-recipe book designed specifically for this air fryer. This is GoWISE’s way of saying, “You don’t need to be a chef to enjoy this thing.”
Now here’s the deal — an air fryer is supposed to solve three major pain points: greasy mess, time-consuming cooking, and inconsistent results. This GoWISE model attempts to tackle all three. The promise? Crispy results without oil splatter, a fast cook time thanks to convection heat, and digital presets that eliminate the guesswork. But does it actually deliver?
Setting up the GoWISE XL was a five-minute affair. Out of the box, there’s no assembly beyond washing the basket, plugging it in, and picking a preset. I started with the classics: frozen fries. Used the fries preset, got the shake alert at 10 minutes, and the result? Surprisingly crisp outside, soft inside, no oil at all. Chicken thighs followed — lightly seasoned, 400 degrees for 22 minutes. Skin crisped up beautifully, and the interior stayed juicy. For dessert, I tried one of the recipes from the included book — a cinnamon apple cake. It browned evenly and baked through in 25 minutes. As for pizza, I wouldn’t call this a full pizza oven, but a slice or two reheated with a crunchy crust in under 8 minutes? That’s a win.
But not everything sizzled perfectly. The 30-minute timer cap was a bit limiting for dishes that need longer roasting. You can restart it, sure, but it’s not ideal. Also, the presets work well, but you’ll want to experiment to dial them in to your personal preference — the pork setting, for instance, cooked a bit hotter than I’d like. And while the shake alert is helpful, there’s no physical prompt besides the beep — no reminder flashing on the screen.

The pros are easy to spot. The air fryer heats up fast, cooks evenly, and the digital display is bright, responsive, and very beginner-friendly. The 5.8-quart basket is large enough to cook for two to four people comfortably. And it’s surprisingly quiet for the power it delivers. The safety features — especially the cool-touch handle and basket guard — are thoughtful additions that make it safer for busy or family kitchens. Now on the flip side, the 30-minute timer feels outdated, especially for roasts or baked items. And while the basket is non-stick, it’s not dishwasher safe, which adds a bit of cleanup time. The white finish, while sleek, can show staining more easily than darker models — something to keep in mind if you’re cooking oily or saucy dishes regularly.
When it comes to value for money, the GoWISE XL holds its ground in the mid-range air fryer market. It’s typically priced between $80 and $110, depending on sales, and for what it offers — presets, capacity, and build — that’s fair. You’re getting the utility of multiple kitchen appliances in one footprint, and if you’re cooking frequently, this can justify its spot. That said, in this price range, you’ve got competition like the Cosori Pro II with slightly better customization or the Instant Vortex Plus with a crisper tray and faster cook cycles. So while GoWISE nails the essentials, it doesn’t outright dominate the category.
Compared to the Cosori Pro II, the GoWISE wins on basket size and shake reminder features, but the Cosori lets you save custom presets and has a sleeker interface. The Instant Vortex Plus heats up quicker and has a visible cooking window, but its basket is slightly smaller and doesn’t offer a shake alert. So it really comes down to your priorities — bigger meals and shake guidance versus extra speed and more bells and whistles.
The build quality here is solid. The body feels sturdy, not plasticky, and the touch screen doesn’t lag or ghost. The basket slides smoothly in and out, and the cool-touch handle never overheated during testing. Longevity-wise, GoWISE has built a decent reputation in the air fryer world. While there aren’t decades of data to pull from, user reviews and brand forums show solid reliability over 12–24 months with regular use, especially if you hand-wash the basket and avoid abrasive cleaners.
As for support, GoWISE includes a standard 1-year warranty, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and what they call “forever support” — though it’s worth noting that the extra 60 days of coverage only kick in if you register the product. While I didn’t need to contact support, the brand generally gets good marks for responsiveness, especially via email. Just don’t expect 24/7 chat or phone lines — this isn’t AppleCare.
Wrapping this all up, the GoWISE USA XL 8-in-1 Digital Air Fryer is a reliable, user-friendly appliance that ticks the right boxes for casual home cooks who want crispy food fast, without much oil or effort. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it does a solid job delivering on its promise. It’s best suited for small families, singles who batch cook, or anyone ready to ditch oil splatter and bulky ovens. It’s not perfect — the timer and lack of dishwasher-safe parts hold it back slightly — but if you’re looking for a no-fuss, reasonably powerful air fryer with a few smart extras, this one’s worth your attention.
