Good
This is my second Phillips air fryer and got to say, yes it does the same job but the quality of the unit is not the same at all. My other one had weight to it and felt solid this one is very light and tinny. Anyway it does the job so good I suppose.
Excellent Air Frye
This is the second Phillips air fryer I’ve bought, I got about 4 years out of the first one and I use it regularly so that wasn’t too bad. Very good machine that’s easy to use. The basket etc is easily cleaned but the internals of the machine can be more difficult. That being said it does take a long time before there is any build up of grease etc. Would recommend this machine, I know there are more expensive electronic versions but I like this one. Word of warming – Do Not turn the timer control knob anti clockwise to turn the timer off when finished, it will break. Simply turn the power off and let the timer run down naturally
Best purchase of 2020!
So having sat on the fence about air fryers for ages I thought “lockdown blues & buy now is probably a bad combination but why not, let’s see what the fuss is about!” …
Hands down the best thing I bought last year! (& I spend a fair bit on tech n gadgets) .. food comes out incredibly tasty, full of flavour and actually pretty healthy all things considered.. (hey we’re frying… with air!)
Few tips.. you don’t normally need to add extra oil… if you’re cooking chicken/fish/lamb etc the natural oils are normally more than enough… with chicken, keep an eye on it, it’ll take a lil while then go from “crispy perfection” to “oh wow carbonated” in about a minute 🙂 .. potatoes / chips need a dash of extra oil, only a few drops.. & if you like them a lil soft in the middle just nuke em for a minute or two beforehand.. also.. clean it out regularly! It’s not pretty but a good soak & wipe down will stop the insane levels of smoke you can get if you keep reusing it..
A good part of my sanity and waistline has stayed in good check during the lockdown thanks to this bad boy!
Easy to use
This is the first air fryer I’ve owned.. but so far I’m finding it easy to use and easy to clean.
Still trying out various recipes and techniques.. however I found the Phillips recipes/ hints app very useful as I’m still learning.
I can definitely recommend this piece of kitchen equipment.. it’s saving me a lot of time as it heats up more quickly than my gas oven and I like that you don’t have to use much oil and still manage to get a nice crispy texture to your food. I haven’t tried to bake in it yet.. however that’s for the next time..
Easy to use.
Larger size overall than anticipated, with smaller frying capacity than expected, however easy to use and clean. Not sure I would have paid 150, I bought mine in the sale for 80 and so far so good.
Phillips at its bes
I had always use this airfryer, then changed to another well known brand what a mistake. Purchased my old faithful again and as usual didn’t disappoint. Brillia
Saves time and energy, easy to use
I bought this 5 years ago and have been using it 3-4 times a week. Still working as wellas the day I bought it. Was looking to get a brand new one to replace the old after I’ve redone my kitchen. Cooked everything from chips to chicken or salmon dinners to frozen pastry and garlic breads. I even gave it a go with some brownie mix.
This a plain version of one of the first Philips air fryer models. We’ have had it for quite a few years. And it works very well. There is not much functionality to this fryer nor are there programming modes. But I’ve found that we don’t use those at all with a more sophisticated fryer we have at our second home. We just fry chips and snacks. And if you stick to the timer, open up a few times during the process to hustle everything up, you get delicious results. It fries our fries and snacks in a convenient, less smelly and more healthy manner – compared to oil based frying.
It comes with a timer on top and a heat indicator light. The electric cord can be rolled up inside on the back. Importantly, the tray can be partly disassembled and put in the dishwasher. The only thing is that the fan-shaped bottom of the outer tray will collect fat and crumbs and is hard to clean if you don’t do it frequently.

would recommend the bigger versio
Great product. I do wish I bought the larger versio
Amazing
This is a must have in every kitchen!
Love it, everything I’ve cooked there has been just perfect!
I’ve tried chips, sausages, salmon, chicken wings, pastry, plantain, fried cheese, grilled vegetables…
It’s not only for frying, it’s good for cooking, heating, grilling!
I haven’t put any oil at all, the kitchen remains clean and I’m saving a lot of time.
You will not be disappointed with this air fry.
Was very pleased with this ,I would have liked abit bigger one ,but does the meal very good.
Great purchase
Bought for my folks (after prising their deep fat fryer from their hands) and they’ve never looked back. It’s also still in very regular use about five years later, so a very solid purchase.
Wouldn't be without it 🤭
So simple but effective removes so much of the oils ,fats and grease from food and cooks evenly!Comes with cookbook that suggests recipes so suspect it can do a whole lot more!Terrific airfryer 10/10
Decent machine
Bought this because im currently without a cooker while renovating. Would not be coping without it. Will still use after the renovation. Its not cheap but after listening to other people’s opinions on cheaper fryers I decided cheap not best way to go. Decent machine.
No more oil to get rid of
A great purchase we are very pleased with results,no old cooking oil to get rid of and best of all no smoke haze in kitchen, we are still experimenting but so far so good,great product.
I purchased this product on a special deal for Amazon Prime Members only and received it next day. I have thus far cooked my own fresh chips, onion rings and garlic mushrooms and it’s brilliant, they are not greasy at all. Simply cut your chips and soak for 30 minutes, dry off and put in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil pop in the AirFryer and within 20-25 minutes you have perfect chips. So far I have only used four times but it does fish, fish fingers, fish cakes, meatballs and most foods you can cook in a conventional oven.
It’s very attractive on the worktop and the quality outweighs the price.
Definitely a bargain buy and the calories are a lot fwer than other methods of cooking.
It’s easy to clean and comes with recepie book for various meals and also a card on how to prepare the best thin chips to wedges.
I can’t wait to try other methods than chips, garlic mushrooms and onion rings but believe me they are browned nice, crisp and a low calorie alternative.
I would recommend 100% and I am sure you will be delighted.

Great kitchen item
Great air fryer over all, did the food fab, chips amazing plus the roast potatoes. For meats especially sausages youd be amazed at the amount of fat that comes out.
Brilliant bye
This product has turned out to be everything that I hoped for. Some recipes need a little tweaking, but generally they turn out out fine. Very easy to clean, depending on what you are cooking. Try the drumsticks, they were just great.
Very good
Very good air fryer, it’s easy to use. Would definitely recommend
So good we've bought second!
We bought our first Philips Air Fryer nearly seven years ago and we love it. We use it for so many things from over and homemade chips to roasting veg for soups and pasta sauces to reheating pizza , sausage rolls and quiche. We’re only buying a second as we’re having a new kitchen and want a shiny clean new one. But the old one still works perfectly!
Best thing !
Best thing I bought for my kitchen. I can’t be without it now. Heats up instantly. Its enough for one though and it’s a bit heavy to carry if you keep relocating. Its pretty handy and doesn’t creat much noise. I cant hear it behind a closed door. The cleaning is easy but the tray you need to clean is a a bit heavy I guess its made of heavy materail for quality. It’s known for making good fries, but the chicken breats come out reallllyy Juicey and Tender! Over it’s worth the effort, I dont have to heat the oven any more and whatever I cook, doesn’t get cooked in fat (healthy) !!
Just brilliant one spoon full of oil and the chips are the bes
Its easy to use and comes with a comprehensive guide love i
Had since December
Amazing – only word needed really
Heats, cooks, bakes everything I want in less than half the time my oven takes. Chips come out a lot better than oven, not as crispy as oil but that’s the trade of for healthier eating. Chicken wings perfect, I have even been shown how to do a full stack of pancakes with some baking paper.
Easy enough to clean, only niggling issue would be that the tray mesh bottom edge [where it meets the container] gathers the residue and needs persistence or a small non metal brush to get it 100 % clean. But that’s really the only minus point in the grand scheme of how great I think this is. The base feels solid, the handle is secure but easy to clip out of the base and the draining section for fat and oil has these ridges and [I think a coating] I can wipe the dry fat and oil up with a dry cloth if I wanted to, nothing seems to stick to it.
Some are currently saying Air frying isn’t actually as healthy as we think that’s not true. If you stick rubbish into the air fryer then your still eating unhealthy food. The air fryer reduces / eliminates the need for additional oil when cooking.

So far excellent. I’ve cooked chips and crisps made with potato, sweet potato, carrot, beetroot, parsnip; roast onions, roast pork with crackling; bacon, sausages, fried egg, frozen stuff; roast veg; scones … brilliant. Specially for the summer so I only have to heat a tiny “oven”.
Bought one of these years ago when they just came out and the best addition to my kitchen ever! Lasted prob more than 8yrs and replaced only because the timer stopped working properly (used daily) decided to buy this model as it was identical to my first purchase. Brilliant piece of kitchen kit.
Awesome product!
We’ve been looking for something like this for a while and this did not disappoint! Product has a retractable lead so there are no loose cables hanging about which I was very impressed by. Item is very easy to set-up and also looks the part too. The box includes a healthy recipes booklet with expected timings to cook etc.
Very impressive product – would 100% recommend.
Best purchase I’ve ever made
Never in my life have I purchased something I LOVED as much as this. If I could marry an inanimate object it would be my air fryer. Thank you for blessing me with the best over chips I’ve ever had.
Great tech but only good for one perso
Excellent little machine, cooks fries and chicken wings really well and they taste fantastic. One minor drawback though:, if you are wanting to feed more than one person, there isn’t a lot of room for large amounts of food at one time and overcrowding can lead to uneven results, so may be best to buy a larger unit if cooking for a large family.
Don’t hesitate - get it!
Absolutely crazy for our air fryer, it’s cooked the most amazing salmon, potatoes, chicken etc only thing with this one is it emits a loud sound but it’s nothing you can’t get over / look past when you get yummy food at the end of it!
Great chips/fries
we’ve had this for a few weeks now. My in-laws have one of these and swear by it too.
Far the past 5 years, we’ve had the breville halo, it was good to make chips and wedges but this Air fryer is in a different league.
Follow the instructions (like soaking the chips first, drying thoroughly then adding oil) and the best chips come out within 20 mins.
Definitely recommend this to anyone. Brilliant.
Best Lockdown Purchase!
Loved everything about this product it’s so quick and easy to use. So far have used it for sausages, nuggets, chips, hash browns and bacon (all vegetarian varieties) and it has all come out great! Sounds a little like a hoover though.
After 18 months my Tefal actifry died but as I had bought insurance (reviews advised this as it is so unreliable) I went for the Philips machine as a replacement. I like the manual dials as they are faster and easier to use. I also like that it is a lot quieter than the actifry and is better built, and that the important bits are dishwasher proof. If the mesh gets gunged then just let it sit in the tray in hot soapy water for a while. I also bought the grill pan (which I expected to be gold plated for the price) and that has turned out to be very useful indeed. The machine cooks food very well and very quickly and is almost worth having just for the crispy way it cooks frozen chips, much better than the actifry that seemed to make chip mash more often than not. Okay, you must shake the pan 2 or 3 times during cooking but I check cooking food regularly anyway so it’s just like shaking a frying pan to me. All in all and so far I’m very happy and thinking about getting another Philips machine to replace my halogen oven!

Perfect crispy food!!
Absolutely love this air fryer. Although this is my first, I love it. I never knew you could get the same crispy ness from air frying that you get from frying in oil. Best purchase ever. Have used it every single day since we’ve purchased it. Have only so far made Chips, fish cakes, Samosas in it. Yet to try other foods but I’m pretty sure it won’t fail me. Great size for a couple, Would go bigger if you’re a family.
For anyone who likes to feed their kids on nuggets, fish fingers, and oven chips occasionally this is revolutionary. So easy to use, all food is cooked to perfection, in minutes, so superior to the results of cooking such items in an oven. We’ve tried a variety of foods in it. Bacon & sausages work really well, jacket potatoes, pieces of chicken etc. If you have a large family you would need to cook in portions & keep it warm, but it is ideal for a small family. The timer means you can’t burn anything as it just turns off. My older teenage son has used it constantly recreating fast food delights for his friends with no mess. I’ve never used a fryer before as I didn’t like the idea of all the fat, but with this you get perfect crispy food with no additional fat required. This is one kitchen gadget that has stayed out on the worktop since I bought it 5 months ago. They do produce a lot of steam from the back so be careful where you position it.

My favourite kitchen appliance
Like a cheaper to run faster baby oven. Use to cook single slices of frozen pizza, frozen chips, kale crisps and roast peanuts (I use some chip net to stop it catching on the element) any burgers and sausages (put an ovenproof saucer over the sausies when they start to spit of you’ll set off your smoke alarms!) Awesome thing, and can buy extras online to be able to cook cakes and other stuff. AND it’s dishwasher proof… well the basket and drawer at least. Ours (the Philips HD9220/20) has lasted years and years – can’t see my purchase date but feels like around 10 years!
Great product cooks fast only problem I thought I was getting a bargain but not the case as the same ones are on eBay bran new for 49,99 free delivery as my friend as just bought the same one for herself an one for her mother so she got two for the price I paid for one not impressed amazo
Good purchase
Cook for one. Not just for chips (although they are good) but all sorts of food in less time than conventional oven. Bacon joint, belly pork, burgers etc all in less time than it takes my oven reach cooking time. Grandchildren love my home made chips! Check the size you may need. Cook for one or a family.
Brillia
Wow what a wonderful machine….have hardly used the cooker since. Easy to use, and everything cooked in it comes out lovely. The one down side is the pans you can buy to fit in it are very expensive so we didn’t bother we simply use tin foil.
Pretty good
Pretty good only one side effect in my opinion
I find it hard to clea
Works well
Does as advertised, very simple machine to operate with simple timer and temperature settings. Easy to clean and fries food very well with very little oil. Used it for meat, vegetables and chips
No regrets
Love love love this airfryer!
I knew nothing about airfryers until a friend of mine was raving about hers. Was still skeptical until i stayed with my sister who has a Philips. I was so impressed I ordered mine before i even returned home.
Nuggets, fishsticks, chips etc. – all ready in minutes. Frozen chips are much crispier than in an oven. It’s also great for re-heating.
I thought I would only use the air fryer for chips but I’m using it regularly for lamb chops, chicken nuggets, chicken drum sticks, fish fingers, meat balls and of course chips/fries and they have all turned out very well. The food is cooked very fast is nice and crispy on the outside.
It’s simple to use. There are only 2 dials for the controls: one for the cooking temperature and the other is the timer. I would have thought there would be an on/off switch, but found the timer dial is the only way to turn it on or off (turn time to zero for off), but it wasn’t a problem in the end.
Only down side is that it rather too bulky to leave out if you have a small workspace in your kitchen. Also the basket for cooking is quite small.

very helpful
As much as it’s so easy to use it’s a bit annoying to clean the wire sifter, do you think i can put in the dish washer?? i don’t want it to peel out!!
Great fryer but very small cook basket Vs Size
This is a great quality fryer and does the job well however it loses a star for its sizes vs its capacity. It’s a pretty sizeable piece of equipment which needs quite a bit of space on the counter but in comparison the basket for cooking is very small. It’s impossible to cook a meal for two on a single layer. If you do a double layer then the cooking is uneven and not crispy.
I’ve found this with chips depite shaking during cooking and with chicken wings too.
There’s no way you could cook two pieces of fish and chips for two. You’d need to cook the fish first and then the chips which is not ideal.
However if I am doing a meal for one, I can’t fault this at all, really great fryer and heats up quickly and cooks beautifully and much better than the oven!
Good quality
This is the second one i have bought as i broke my first one after having it for 5 years.i tried other cheaper ones but they were nowhere near as good so i returned to this one.it is very good for cooking and heating small amounts .it does it in about half the time of an oven so its a great time saver.its ok for two to three people but not much more than tha
When you buy the Air Fryer what you get is basically a chip fryer with a good deep basket. I have to say that it does chips very well, especially frozen ones, and also very good roast potatoes. but it is rather limited as to what you can cook in it. To do much else you need accessories like the grill pan, which is very good but hellish expensive, which I have used to cook chops and sausages. It also needs a baking tin, which I have not yet bought. The items I have cooked in it so far have turned out very well and I am sure that when I buy the baking tin I will make better use of it.

amazing appliance!
Finally we own a great appliance that is also practical/healthy and easy to operate on a daily basis. so grateful that they’ve invented this product! my dinner preps for kiddos timing has been cut in half and made my cooking more enjoyable. I highly recommend it to everyone out there. thanks
Buy one
Best thing I’ve bought for the kitchen since my slo-cooker. It’s so versatile and has mostly replaced grill, oven and frying pan. Just experiment and you’ll be surprised what it can do. Very little smell, perfect chips within minutes if you choose frozen fries, great steaks,chops, bacon and roast potatoes. All this with next to no washing up. What is there not to like. I use it most days and wish they’d been around years ago. I bought one for my vegetarian daughter and she loves it.
Great purchase - helps an unskilled cook prepare delicious meals!
Really happy with this – chips are super easy and great tasting, fried chicken is a new family favorite. Hamburgers are also fab and taste much better than fried. Very happy with the purchase. Only downside is the volume is a bit small for family of 4, but then again I don’t want a larger machine as the current size is easy to store.
millions of thumbs up !! – you want perfect chips ? Burgers ? Potatoes ? Chicken ? — and thousands of food products ? well you need to buy this product. I have been using philips airfryer since 2012, and I WILL NEVER! use another brand. The quality is truly unbelievable!
The first time we used this machine we were delighted with it
My husband cook wonderful chips
But since then. We have been very disappointed
We blamed the potatoes We’ve tried every potato
So we have resorted back to our deep fat fryer. I must say we had home made cod and chip last week they were delicious
But we’re just not happy with i

I wish I never bought basket too heavy
I’m glad it was on sale when I bought it as no way would I pay full price it’s not worth it. Also I have arthritis in my hands and shoulders so I find the basket quite heavy. You can’t put a lot in the basket cos you have to keep taking it out and shaking it around to cook evenly.

I actually got a diferent model, the seller resolve the problem with partial refund. The one I got is beautiful, really useful and I love it! It works so well, everything is done so nicely, fries are delicious and with no more than 1tbsp of oil! This is the model that I got HD9621
Who needs an oven?? Best Purchase Ever!!!!
If your looking for an air fryer, look no further. This is brilliant. Most appropriate for portions for 3 people chips wise. Really simply to use heat it up for five minutes and put your food in and let it do it’s thing. I hardly ever use an oven any more and I did a fillet steak recently, which was lovely not as drying as with grilling for anyone wanting to eat healthy. I was sceptical that this would become another gadget ornament that I would never use, but honestly it’s always in use!!! Love this produc
I bought this almost two years ago and after recently convincing my parents to purchase one I decided to leave a review. I originally bought it just to cook oven chips as my gas oven is so slow. It does so much more than that though and I’d be lost without it. It will cook almost anything and so much quicker than using a convential oven. It’s great for roasting veg or potatoes, and cooks stuff really well. If I want baked potatoes then I give them ten minutes in the microwave, coat them in olive oil and 20 minutes in the air fryer and they are beautiful and crispy. It must be saving money because you’re heating a small appliance rather than a full size oven. It’s very easy to clean too. If it broke I’d rush out and buy another!

It must be saving money because you’re heating a small appliance rather than a full size oven. It’s very easy to clean too. If it broke I’d rush out and buy another!
A kitchen must have!
This is perfect for my teenage son to cook his meals. Was a great price looks good in the kitchen and a must have item I didn’t realise how much I would use. Not a waste of money gadget to sit ideal it’s used virtual every day at mealtimes. A must have in any kitchen I won’t be without one from now on. Easy to use and cooks well.
he gas oven has had limited use since this arrived. Easy to use, easy to clean and a compact addition that sits next to my microwave. For those who have never used one, the best advice I can give is to ensure you give the airfryer a few minutes of warming up time before cooking anything – just like you would a normal oven… I normally give it 3 mins on full power before I use it to cook.
Wow, after much advice for a year I purchased this and went for Phillips as they are durable and great at there makes. This airfryer is fantastic. Had it for over a year and my 12 year old along with 7 year old can use it well. The latter not so well as advised for over 11 year olds. It’s no replacement for an oven but for chicken nuggets fish fingers garlic bread fries etc it’s almost twice as fast but better as it cooks food evenly. Can’t fault it at all
Simply one of the best things I’ve ever bought. Has completely changed the game in the kitchen. I haven’t turned on the oven once since I bought it. The only caution I would give is that the capacity is not big. It’s perfect for cooking dinner for one. You could probably fit enough for two people but that’s the limit.

I’ve gone through two of these and my main complaint is that the mesh basket is VERY hard to clean. You really need to do it every time you use it. Being a lazy so-and-so I let it go three or four times and thus get a build up which I can’t shift. Apart from that I love it and wouldn’t be without it.
Better than the stirring kind and more versatile.
I’ve had mine for some time now and would not be with out it, but it is best for one or two persons. tip for chips, in a suitable bowl place the chips prior to cooking, poor over a little oil, rape seed oil is best, then stir the chips to fully coat and than put into fryer, this will give a better looking chip with no uncoated dry cooked areas.
Can also be used as a mini oven for small portion cooking like pies and cakes plus casseroles in small dishes, not very good for turkeys though LOL.
simply the best way to make chips ever, we had to replace our first one as it developed a big crack and wouldn’t cook , this is just the right size for our little kitchen and with a little practise chips, roasties, and many other bits can be turned out, jackets spuds are a favourite of mine , just keep the basket clear of bits and don`t use foods that have a coating on them as I nearly set fire to our last one when it tried to cook some Mc cain crispy fries and set the ADT smoke detector off , ooooooooooooooops !!!!!

This is a very good air fryer. I had been using air fryer for a number of years now and had previously brought them from a popular TV shopping channel which was good but the cleaning was a nightmare but this one the cleaning was simple. I just wipe it with tissue or cloth to get rid of the oil left after use. I got it from recommendation of a work colleague.
I fry all all my chips, make toast, heat up sandwich, cook chicken, pork chops and make pies etc all turn out very quick and less fuss than using the big oven which I have to say I no longer use.
I would recommend this for a single person or old people when you still want to cook but does not want the fuss with all these washing up or cleaning the big oven afterwards.
I found this one a lot better quality than the one I had brought inthetv channel but found the basket a bit difficult to clean. If this can be improved using the same none stick as the pot with holes to let air in when cooking then it will be prefect. I notice there is a frying basket you can buy separately but for the price it is half of this fryer so I had give it a missed.

I’m 100% sold on the air fryer concept. This gadget is so easy and convenient to use. I feel like some onion rings. BAM! Ready in 10 mins. I can’t be bothered to cook tonight. Stick in a chicken breast in the air fryer and some frozen veggies in the microwave. BAM! A healthy dinner in 10 mins. Like the microwave, its an instant on set it and forget it device. Its so much quicker and easier than warming up a huge oven and food develops a crisp skin far more easily.
This would be a 5 star device if the internal basket was non stick. As a wire mesh I find food gets welded on requiring overnight soaking to remove. Fish skin is the worst. That has to be burnt off (10mins with no food at a hot setting in the air fryer) as no amount of soaking or scrubbing will remove it from the mesh. My next air fryer will definitely have a non stick basket.
Also this isn’t great with burgers or sausages as thick smoke starts to come out after they start cooking. Its totally fine with proper bits of meat.

This is the best thing I have ever bought in years
This is the best thing I have ever bought in years!!! It is a incredible bit of kit, so much so, I have bought one for my daughter, son and mother in law, and they think it’s brilliant, this product is efficient, cooks food in a third of the time faster than conventional ovens, also cheap to run compared to conventional oven, I use it every day cooking roast potatoes, chicken, pork, pasties, toasted sandwiches, sasuges, bacon, brilliant product, highly recommend this brand
This air fryer is excellent, however it appears to have a inherent fault in the basket draw lower seal material as after a few months the seal fails, and a replacement appears to be unavailable, and Philips will not send a replacement draw outside of the UK.
However AMAZON came to the rescue and replaced the whole unit, after being informed of Philips refusal to send spare abroad.
We really like this and use it a lot for fake KFC
We really like this and use it a lot for fake KFC, sausages, bacon, hash browns, fish cakes, pakoras etc. Originally bought it to engage our teenage son with cooking and show him how easy it is to do a meal.The coating on the base pan is a little prone to scratching, but no matter as no food comes into contact with it. Does not produce the typical fry related smells either.
Air Frye
I was a little concerned about whether it would be useful ,but I use my Airfryer at least twice a week ,and often more .I use Frozen oven chips in it ,I do Salmon Fillets ,Chicken Kievs ,Cakes (small ones though as it not a big area inside ) I made a foil tray for the inside ,which is useful.
The air Fryer is easy to clean and use and it saves having to use the main oven all the time .I would say its the perfect size for two .
Not much to add to the thousands of other reviews, other than to share my satisfaction really.
I believe that once you’ve tried the Philips airfryer, you won’t go back to the hob, oven or grill for *most* smaller things, but you’ve got to pick your foodstuffs. I’ve had fabulous success with chips (obviously), chicken, burgers, fish (battered and uncoated), pork belly (small joint), sausages and even homemade sausage rolls (i.e. sausage meat wrapped in puff pastry)!
I cannot stress how much I also recommend buying the ridiculously overpriced “Philips HD9910/20 — Accessory for Airfryer Grill Pan Non Stick — Black” (ASIN: B00GP2YWDI). I use the non stick pan much more than the basket that comes with the airfyer and it’s a breeze to clean.
I should add that I previously had an early model of the Tefal Actifry and the Philips is much better. Yes, you generally have to manually shake the basket halfway through cooking, but I found the Actifry pulverised some foods as its paddle constantly rotated.
Edit: Since the above was written I’ve used the airfryer for heating up part-baked bread (both rolls and sticks, although you have cut the latter in half to fit), and my new fave was a very quick apple + raspberry crumble, for which you will need a rectangular dish such as the also overpriced and tiny, but fits nicely “Philips Genuine Original Viva Collection Airfryer Baking Accessory” (ASIN: B00BQT5Y0A). I cooked the apple on the hob, then added a tin of raspberries, sprinkled the crumble on top and 20 minutes later…ideal for two or three.
I chose this airfryer because of its simplicity. It just does the job and nothing spits out of any gaps, unlike some other brands. The food tray has two parts, the outer one you can see and the inner wire basket. The latter clicks into place so that the two can be moved as one. It is very easy to pull the tray half-way out and check on the progress of the cooking. The chips that come out are excellent. And finally, it is extremely easy to clean both parts of the tray with just hot soapy water; there are no difficult to reach areas. Oh, and it’s ideal for cooking Indian snacks like samosas.
Excellent for making chips without oil and also cooks sausages and other things well although does take longer than the specified time. I bought a divider (shame this isn’t included with the package) as it then makes it easy to cook 2 separate things. It is adequate for 2 people but not for a larger family unless you just want chips. Overall I am pleased with it but have not been overly adventurous so far.
Perfect cooking. Super price and Great Seller.
This is my second Air Fryer from Philip's my other one has seen better days but it has been used virtually every day for 18 months so well worth the money. When I was looking around for a replacement I checked the supermarkets and the catalogue store and this was 50% cheaper! The seller gave me a delivery date but it arrived 4 days early. Very happy with the product and the seller.
The fryer cooks everything well, ive cooked the usual chips etc but it cooks everything I have thrown at it perfectly. Love it!
Good enough ;)
Use it pretty much every day! Doesn't quite do everything a normal fryer does but obviously it wouldn't do that! Still does most things really well! Anything you can cook in an oven you can cook in this and many things you would deep fry you can cook in this too!
Great for Chips!
wasn’t quite sure about getting one, as I do like my potato fries and had doubts it would be any good. I was pleasantly surprised at the crispiness and taste of fries prepared in this air fryer. if you love your fries and are trying to cut down the amount of oil used, then you should get this air fryer. other items have been hit or miss. fish has been pretty good, but not every time. I think it may be down to temperature adjustment and duration. but so far so good.
absolutely love this product. this is actually the 2nd one we have had. the 1st had a accident which meant it was broke. tried going back to a normal oven but its not the same had to get another. we cook a lot of food in this its brilliant everything tastes better and is healthie
Great fryer, highly recommend, really fast cooking times!!
Really happy, This is a excellent Air Fryer and I wish I had found it sooner, it Works like a charm, frozen fries come out perfect, even better if you use oven chips which are pre oiled, the chips come out crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. As expected they will not be indenticle to fried chips however there isn’t that much of a difference and this being a healthier option makes it an obvious choice.
It appears to cook everything I throw at it, meats come out really well, for me the best thing bout it is the time it takes it is really fast, as I can have a meal cooked in less than 15 minutes
All in all this is a much healthier option, and you still get a very close taste of a traditional fryer, very easy to use, highly recommend this.
I was dubious about getting an airfryer but was advised this was the best. It is fabulous. I doubted whether you could have a good chip without fat – you can. Fries perfect every time. Ive done sausages, rostis, frozen and fresh chip, wedges and everything has come out great. I would definately recommend. Only slight negative is that it takes about 5 mins longer than stated but that really isnt a problem to get healthier chips. And its so easy to clean! A huge positive.
It's that handiest cooker ever!
Where does one begin. We have two toddlers at home. Our son in particular can’t wait any length for food so there’s always a major panic to get dinner ready. I just don’t use the oven ever or if I do I reheat the food for them that I cooked earlier… this does waffles in 10 mins from frozen and into a cold machine at 200 and they’re way nicer… in trying new items all the time and I’d be lost without it. For us the phrase – “The best thing since sliced bread” comes to mind for the air fryer. Cleaning isn’t too bad, depends what you cook so I’ve not had anything too messy in it so far. A1
I have made my own chips just got allow 30 mins in cold water to get rid of the starch but i find oven chips cook quicker in this and taste great. I have done southern fried chicken fillets, in the oven the underside doesn’t crisp up the same but in this it was crisp all over. Onion rings take 4 mins.I find turning the chips every five mins better than just once. Only downside I had to wrap the fillets in foil to keep warm while did chips, other than that it would have got a five sta
Great so far!
I’ve had this for about a month and it’s been quite good so far. I have used it to cook chips (frozen and fresh), butternut squash fries, sweet potato fries, sausages and fish cakes so far. It says that it can cook cakes but I haven’t tried that yet.
It cooks food quicker than in the oven and definitely cooks more evenly. I have often cooked without any oil (it suggests you use a tablespoon of oil) and it has been fine.
Would recommend
Great glad I went for this.
I was interested in this for some time and when it’s price dropped I went for it. All I can say is that me and more importantly the kids love it. I can’t compare it to others, however it makes great homemade chips etc. The only thing I would say not to overload it and to turn the chips frequently when cooking to get the best results. Much better than cooking chips in the oven and of course you do use less oil, plus the homemade chips are far tastier than the store store chips.
I adore this Airfryer and no longer deep fry anything. I was a little hesitant as a lot of people say it is just an oven, but I can tell you it makes amazing food that tastes like its deep fried with a fraction of the fat.
I have made roast chicken (cut down as this size will not fit a whole one) and it is succulent with a beautifully crispy skin. Chips, halloumi (placed on grease proof paper for the first few mins), all sorts of mixed veg and my favourite Arancini (a Scicilian rice ball, see photo). If you are interested in making your own, I used an Arancinotto which I purchased from Amazon in Italy, but it is now available on the Amazon U.K. Site, I’m planning on buying the round version next.
Two meals down and impressed
I am certainly no Super Cook, in fact quite basic. Having only had the air fryer 3 days, I have cooked two meals in it, the first a Lamb Steake, the Steake was superb, really juicy, maybe could have been cooked a little longer as it was on the grey side of pink, second meal was frozen cod and oven chips, a little over cooked as the fish was a bit burnt, the chips were great.
My only grouse is that on first look at the included recipe book, it looks that all you can cook are fish fingers and chips, really need to expand what really can be cooked in the fryer…
This has lasted us well and gets used practically every day. Everything that needs to be crispy gets cooked in here, I have also cooked chicken pieces etc. We recommend it to everyone who asks what it is when they spot it in the kitchen and if it ever breaks we would replace it without a minutes though
I have not been disappointed yet although I have only cooked chips in it ...
Have been wanting one of these for years but found they were so expensive when I saw this at a bargain price I just had to get it. I have not been disappointed yet although I have only cooked chips in it it’s amazing doesn’t take long at all for yummy chips that are crispy and low in fat too as you hardly need any oil, I use the spray oil and works just as well. I should really be more experimental and try to cook other things. Overall excellent item would definitely recommend
This is a great alternative to normal deep frying and I wish I'd ...
This is a great alternative to normal deep frying and I wish I’d gotten something like this sooner.
Almost anything that can be deep-fried or oven-cooked can also be cooked in this and its usually faster too. I find chicken in particular to be very nice when cooked in the Airfryer, maintaining a juicy inside with crispy skin on the outside.
Occasionally some meats can end up coming out a bit dry, but this can usually be avoided if you just reduce the time a little bit.
One small complaint is that the symbols on the front indicating how long different foods should be cooked can be scraped off very easily when you’re cleaning the unit, though by the time this happens you probably don’t need them anyway so it’s a minor complaint.
More versatile than I originally thought and I do like it. However the accessories are way too expensive ...
More versatile than I originally thought and I do like it. However the accessories are way too expensive the manual timer is not very accurate and if you are not within sound range when it finishes there is no way to tell it has finished, (a colour changing light would be useful). The most annoying aspect is how difficult it is to clean around the heating element when finished. If I had to replace it tomorrow I would pick the Philips but I would go for the electronic timer version.
