• HEISENLIN Air Fryer Replacement — best for small and mid-size round baskets; pick this if your fryer is a 3.7–4.0 QT Gowise, PowerXL, Dash, Chefman, Gourmia or Emeril Lagasse and you want the extras included.
• GXF Air Fryer Replacement — best for Gourmia 8 QT owners who want maximum surface; pick this if you have a GAF858 or GAF823 and want the largest square plate in this group at 9.6 by 9.6 inches.
• GWBSXM Air Fryer Grill — best for Ninja Pro XL 6.5 QT owners; pick this if you have an AF181 or AF182AMZ and want an enameled, double-layer non-stick coating plus eight bumpers.
• GWYXC Air Fryer Replacement — best for Gourmia GAF826 or GAF856 owners; pick this if you want a stainless steel plate with an airflow design and a 400 °F max temperature rating.
This is a round replacement crisper plate, 8.1 by 8.1 inches and about 0.39 inches tall, made from food-grade 304 stainless steel with a black non-stick coating. The published dimensions land at roughly 7.87 inches across in the item details, so treat 8.1 inches as the outer measure and check your basket's inner diameter before you commit. It's built for the 3.7 to 4.0 QT crowd: Gowise USA, PowerXL, Dash, Chefman, Gourmia and Emeril Lagasse fryers in that size range.
What sold me on putting it first is the fit range. Most replacement plates are locked to one or two model numbers, which is a problem when you own a budget fryer and can't find the exact match. HEISENLIN went the other way and listed six brands, so there's a decent chance it drops straight into what's already on your counter. The 304 stainless steel matters too — it's the grade you'd want near food, and the sheet states it's BPA-free with no hazardous chemicals, which is about all you can reasonably ask of a plate that sits under a heating element.
In daily use, the handle is the feature you'll notice most. You pull the basket out, grab the handle, lift the plate free and the fries, wings or fish come with it instead of scattering into the basket. The non-stick coating means a wipe-down usually does it, and the plate is dishwasher safe — though the brand's own tip is to hand-wash with a cloth for a longer coating life, and to skip abrasive pads and steel balls entirely.
The extras are unusually generous for a single plate: a kitchen non-stick cleaning cloth, four rubber bumpers and ten air fryer filter papers. The bumpers protect your basket's inner wall from scratches, which is a small thing that stops mattering only after you've gouged one.
GXF Air Fryer Replacement
GXF's plate is a square 9.6 by 9.6 inch stainless steel crisper tray with a non-stick coating, and it's purpose-built for the Gourmia GAF858 and GAF823 8 QT air fryers. Nothing else. The listing repeats that compatibility twice, which I read as a deliberate warning rather than filler.
That square footprint is the whole point. A 9.6-inch square in an 8 QT Gourmia basket gives you corner-to-corner coverage, so a frozen pizza, a batch of wings or a layer of chopped vegetables sits flat instead of crowding into a circle. The whirlwind airflow design is the other headline feature — the plate is shaped to push hot air up and around the food rather than letting it pool underneath, which is the difference between evenly browned and patchy.
The handle and dishwasher-safe non-stick coating behave the way you'd expect: lift out, serve, rinse, and for stubborn residue let the dishwasher handle it. GXF includes a magic cleaning cloth in the box and warns against rough abrasive cloths and metal balls, which is the standard advice for any coated plate and worth following.
Here's the honest trade-off. The compatibility is narrow — GAF858 and GAF823 only, no other models — so if you're not sure which Gourmia you own, check the model number on the back before ordering. And it's a large plate, so in anything smaller than an 8 QT basket it simply won't seat properly. If you do own one of those two machines, though, I'd rank this as the cleanest fit you can get.
This one is designed for the Ninja AF181 Air Fryer Pro XL 6-in-1 6.5 QT and the AF182AMZ Pro XL 7-in-1 6.5 QT MAX, at 8.46 by 8.46 inches. The sheet also notes it fits other air fryers that take an 8.46-inch crisper plate, so it's slightly more flexible than a single-model part.
The standout spec is the coating. GWBSXM uses an enameled ceramic non-stick finish applied in two sprayed layers, which in practice tends to hold up better than a single-coat finish against repeated heating and washing cycles. It's still dishwasher safe, and the same rule applies as everywhere else: no abrasive pads, no metal scouring balls, or you'll strip the layer you paid for.
Materials are listed inconsistently across the sheet — one section says aluminium, another describes food-grade stainless steel that's BPA-free and meets FDA standards — so I'd describe this as a coated plate with a steel build rather than claim a specific base metal. What I can say from the specs: it's non-toxic, tasteless, and positioned for the same jobs as the rest of this group — pizza, fries, steak, wings, vegetables.
The trade-off is fit. If your Ninja isn't an AF181 or AF182AMZ, you're relying on that 8.46-inch measurement matching your basket, and the brand is explicit that you should measure your inner diameter first. Narrow compatibility, strong coating — that's the deal here.
GWYXC Air Fryer Replacement
GWYXC's plate is a square 9.8 by 9.8 inch stainless steel tray with a non-stick coating, built for the Gourmia GAF826 and GAF856 8 QT fryers. The listing is blunt about it: not suitable for another model. I appreciate that, because it saves you a return.
At 9.8 inches square this is the largest plate in this roundup. If you own one of those two Gourmias, that extra width over the GXF means more food in a single layer — which is the entire reason to buy a replacement rack in the first place. The whirlwind airflow design is here too, and GWYXC rates the plate to 400 °F, which covers the bake, grill and roast settings you'd realistically use.
The finish is stainless steel with a non-stick coating, listed in silver rather than black, so it'll look like bare metal in the basket. Same handle design, same dishwasher-safe cleaning, same four rubber bumpers to keep the basket wall free of scratches. It ships with a magic cleaning cloth, and the brand repeats the no-abrasive-cleaners warning.
One practical note: because the plate is nearly ten inches across, it leaves very little clearance around the edges in an 8 QT basket. That's fine for airflow, but it also means you need to seat it level — a plate this size tilted on a bumper will cook unevenly.
The trade-off is the same narrow compatibility as the GXF, with a different model list. GAF826 and GAF856 only. Check your model number first; if it matches, this is the roomiest option of the four.
We compared published specifications and features only — plate dimensions, materials, coating type, stated compatibility, included accessories and temperature ratings where given. The ranking reflects our independent editorial opinion about which plate suits which fryer, not any paid placement; no brand paid to appear here. Where a data sheet listed a spec inconsistently, we said so rather than smoothing it over.
Measure the inner diameter of your basket, then match it to the plate size. Every brand in this guide warns you to measure before ordering, and round plates are specified by outer width while square plates are specified by side length — so a "9.6 inch" square and a "8.1 inch" round are not interchangeable.
Sometimes. The GWBSXM plate is listed as fitting other fryers that accept an 8.46-inch crisper plate, and the HEISENLIN covers several 3.7–4.0 QT brands. The Gourmia-specific plates from GXF and GWYXC are not cross-compatible, so stick to your model number there.
Yes — all four are listed as dishwasher safe. That said, each brand also advises hand-washing with a soft cloth to preserve the non-stick coating, and all four warn against abrasive cloths and metal scouring balls.
They're included with every plate here, and they sit between the plate and the basket wall to prevent scratches. The GWBSXM ships with eight, the others with four. Fit them before your first cook rather than after.
