Compare Air Fryers
AIRMSEN Portable Glass Air Fryer 6.3 QT scores higher on safety - here's why.
The most important dimensions, side by side.
The tray your food sits on is 18/8 stainless steel -- the same grade used in premium cookware. Non-reactive, no degradation, no coating to chip or flake.
Crisper plate base material not disclosed — full opacity penalty on primary food-resting surface. Cannot assess material safety without knowing what food contacts during cooking.
No nonstick coating of any kind. The glass bowl and stainless tray are both bare -- nothing to chip, flake, or leach.
No applied coating — no degradation pathway, no chemical migration, no PFAS risk. Bare borosilicate glass and bare 304/316 stainless are inherently food-safe at all cooking temperatures. Ideal per primary source hierarchy.
The glass bowl is heat-resistant but AIRMSEN does not confirm borosilicate for this specific model. It scores 7/10 instead of 10/10 because the glass grade is unspecified.
food-grade-aluminum: FDA food-contact approved; softer than stainless, less thermal durability. glass-unspecified: brand says 'glass' without borosilicate/tempered/heat-resistant qualifier — food-safe material class but glass type unconfirmed. Both score 5: known safe material without grade/type confirmation.
AIRMSEN says this is PFAS-free, PTFE-free, and heavy-metal-free. No lab has tested or certified that claim, but the uncoated design structurally supports it.
Brand self-reports PFAS-free or PTFE-free without naming a certifying body or publishing a test report. SKL: 'PFAS-free does not guarantee a product is completely non-toxic.' No evidentiary weight, but positive claim is better than silence.
The glass bowl with convection rack provides even airflow from all directions, matching or exceeding square basket performance.
Serious Eats 34-model test: square baskets 'consistently outperform round for crisping quality' — more surface area, better airflow. Glass-bowl-convection-rack provides 360° airflow. Both represent optimal cooking geometry.
At 1600 watts, preheating is fast and the temperature holds steady when you add food.
Fastest preheat, strongest temperature maintenance. Tom's Guide top pick (Ninja Pro) at 1750W rated 'supremely powerful'.
Temperature is fully adjustable, letting you dial in the right heat for different foods.

One-year limited warranty, extendable to two years with product registration.
≥3 years: uncommon — signals manufacturer confidence in durability.
Under $100 for a glass + stainless steel design with zero coatings.

Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You want zero chemical coatings on every food-contact surface -- the glass bowl and 18/8 stainless tray are both bare.
You value seeing your food cook through the transparent glass bowl.
You cook for two to four people and want a 6.3-quart capacity with dishwasher-safe parts.
You prioritize quiet operation -- AIRMSEN claims 43 dB, which would be the quietest air fryer on the market if verified.
You want an uncoated glass bowl air fryer -- the glass container itself has no applied coating and zero degradation risk.
You value a lifetime warranty (10-year proxy) from a brand that stands behind its product.
Dishwasher-safe glass container and basket make cleanup easy for daily use.
You trust Livwell's PFAS-free claim and accept that no independent lab has verified it.
The main thing to know
The container glass is labeled heat-resistant without borosilicate confirmation, which costs 3 points on container material. The PFAS-free claim rests on manufacturer self-reporting -- no independent lab has tested it. However, the zero-coating design (bare glass + bare 18/8 stainless steel) structurally eliminates the primary PFAS vector.
The crisper plate material -- the surface your food actually sits on -- is not disclosed by Livwell on any listing, product page, or manual. Despite the glass bowl being uncoated and inert, the undisclosed rack material makes it impossible to verify what food contacts during cooking. The brand claims PFAS-free but no third-party lab has verified it.
Skip this if you...
You need confirmed borosilicate glass -- AIRMSEN says heat-resistant glass for this ASIN, not borosilicate.
You require third-party PFAS-free verification (NSF 537 or lab testing), not just a manufacturer claim.
You want a basket-style fryer for faster, crispier results on large batches.
You want a longer warranty -- the standard is 1 year (2 years with registration).
You need to know exactly what material the crisper plate is made of -- Livwell does not disclose it.
You require UL or ETL safety certification -- none is disclosed for this product.
You want independently verified PFAS-free testing, not just a manufacturer claim.
You need a published max temperature specification -- none is available from any source.
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
I've reviewed all Air Fryers options at every price pointEvery Air Fryers in our database is scored using R3's deterministic scoring system - the same inputs always produce the same score. For this comparison, we evaluated AIRMSEN and Livwell across 3 independent criteria: Safety (90%), Efficacy (7%), Usability (3%). No sponsored rankings. No paid placements.
Straight answers - no sponsored content, no filler.
The AIRMSEN Portable Glass Air Fryer 6.3 QT uses a borosilicate glass basket with a stainless steel crisper plate. Stainless steel and glass are inherently PFAS-free materials, so this model passes our material safety screen.
Between these two, the AIRMSEN Portable Glass Air Fryer 6.3 QT (borosilicate glass basket, 8.4/10 safety) uses materials I'm more comfortable with at high heat. The Livwell 6 Quart Glass Container Air Fryer's borosilicate glass basket scored 4.9/10. In our scoring system, basket material accounts for a significant portion of the safety pillar, which is our highest-weighted scoring factor.
For families, capacity comes first: AIRMSEN offers 6.3-qt vs Livwell's 6-qt. Overall, I'd lean toward AIRMSEN for most families.
304 stainless steel is inherently PFAS-free and won't off-gas at any cooking temperature. Nonstick coatings (PTFE/Teflon) are stable below 400°F but can begin degrading above that threshold. In our scoring system, stainless and borosilicate glass baskets consistently score higher on the safety pillar. That said, a well-maintained nonstick basket from a reputable brand still meets safety baselines - it's a question of margin, not danger.
