Best Philips Domestic Appliances Air Fryers

Ok but still prefer my old Ninja air fryer which cooked faster and better but after nearly 4 years has lost some of the non stick coating.

Really Good Compact Airfryer – Great little air fryer, love it. Nice compact size so it's easy to store and it looks ok too. Show details

I was a sceptic for a very long time. I genuinely believed air fryers were just glorified, aggressive fan-forced ovens with better marketing.… Read more

Eventually, I caved and bought the Philips 3000 Series 9L Dual Basket Air Fryer XXL—and I am happy to report I was completely wrong. I'm thoroughly impressed. Highlights.. • Sleek Looks: Right out of the box, it makes a great first impression. It looks genuinely slick sitting on the kitchen counter. • Having two different-sized drawers is a brilliant combo. You can blast a main in the big side while crisping up a side dish in the smaller one without any weird spatial gymnastics required. • Boy, this thing is fast. Preheat and cool-down times are practically non-existent, and overall cooking times crush a standard oven. • Sound levels are also impressive. You barely notice it's running. The smaller drawer, in particular, is shockingly quiet. • Controls are touch based but easy to use. Setting the time and temperature is dead simple. Better yet, you can adjust both on the fly mid-cook without resetting the whole cycle. The minor gripes: • Lots of gloss, so it’s a fingerprint magnet: All that gorgeous gloss looks fantastic until you actually touch it. Keep a cloth handy, because it will collect smudges like evidence. • The max temperature tops out at 200°C, which is fine for 95% of meals, but a tiny bit extra heat headroom for hyper-blistered veggies would have been nice. • Looks to have a fixed fan speed, which seems a little limiting but not a huge issue. The Verdict If you're on the fence like I was, jump off. It beats firing up the big oven every night, cooks in a fraction of the time, and looks great doing it. Minor nitpicks aside, it has quickly earned a permanent spot on the kitchen counter.

This model is pretty compact (large compared to some) and basic aside from the clear window that allows viewing while it's cooking, it's somewhat… Read more

useful if not a bit gimmicky, depends what you've got cooking. It is fairly quiet to use, although it seemed more so at first. The touch control panel doesn't like damp hands, but otherwise good. There are enough cooking options to work through, however I find myself varying times and temperature which is easily done. It gets used as a mini oven, baking full size loaf tin cakes and full size roasts among other things; I've used it without the tray on the odd occasion looking for extra room but with the design it didn't really make much difference and it affects how the fan forces the heat around the food. It mostly gets used for other things like bacon, chips, grilling fish, sausages, rissoles, the list goes on. There are limitations with the height of the drawer so you need to be careful nothing is likely to touch the element on top making it burn. The build quality is light compared to other Philips I'd seen in the past, but it is very good value for what it is. This product replaces a Cucina air fryer and steamer which did not seal and sent the steam all over kitchen cabinets instead of containing it. Prior to this I had a very basic Coles Thomson 11litre air fryer, I loved the size even though it was an overkill, but did the job really well for several years until the coating began to lift.

My husband and I went looking for an air fryer as first time buyers. We had never had one before and had recently gone on holiday with a family… Read more

member who did and were very impressed and intrigued at the possibilities for easier family meals. We went to The Good Guys and looked at the range. The Phillips brand appliances have been great for us before, so we were pleased to see they had an air fryer in the size we were looking for as a family of 5. Set up was very easy. I gave it a quick wash first and we ran it for 10 minutes empty to ensure there was no smell. Then we could get cooking! Our favourite dishes so far are; Roast vegetables- cut up carrot and potato into bite sized pieces and cook for 21 minutes on 180 degrees sling every 7 minutes. Chicken thigh- lay flat and cook for 20 minutes on 180 degrees for a delicious, juicy piece of meat you can use chopped up in a salad or with some veges as a high protein meal. The size is good for our family of 5 (3 young children plus 2 adults). We can make a side or make large components of meals in one use. Cleaning is a breeze. The basket comes out easily and both sections of it fit in the sink for a good wash. Overall we are extremely happy with this purchase. It works well and is easy to use.

Faulty from the box , very loud noise from the fan unit- speaking with Phillips online which has been very unhelpful and are making it very hard to… Read more

get a replacement unit.

After waiting for days for a response have now been told to send it back to Amazon for a replacement ….. problem is they have none.

Through this customer journey I have been made to feel at fault, when clearly it’s a faulty “Brand New”

HomeID is garbage. Cannot connect to my device at all. Device comes with no instructions, just a sheet of paper written in micro print that appears to be warnings. Not quite sure how I'm meant to use this device. Likely to return it. Show details

Very good machines. I thought oven is good enough. I am wrong. This air fryer makes cooking much easier, healther, and quicker. Easy to clean as well. We are enjoy it very much.

We have been very happy with the performance of this airfryer. The small size suited our family and limited kitchen space. What is really… Read more

disappointing is the wearing down of the plastic lug on the tray that engages the interlock switch. We have used it according to the directions and we aren't rough with it (4 adults using it). It's such an integral part of the appliance and to be made of plastic that easily wears away, rendering it inoperable is not great design. We purchased it 11/2024 and by 4/2026 we couldn't use it, less than 18 months. It's frustrating because it would still work except for this small part.

After 6 months both of the front draws are cracked. Only ever hand washed the draws, never dropped them. For it to happen on both draws is weird as… Read more

we tend to use the top one but the bottom draw has a much larger crack. Hasn’t happened during use, so think it’s just poor plastic. Going to see if I can get a refund

I saw the negative review for this air fryer and had to counter it with a positive review because IMHO if you're looking for an air fryer this size,… Read more

it's a good one worth putting on your short list. It and the similar-sized Ninja have different pros and cons, and which one is "better" depends on personal preference and what you'll be using it for.

Way, way back before Ninja, Instant, and all those folks ever thought of selling air fryers, I bought a Philips to cook chips, and later cooked air fryer vegetables and chicken in it more often than I cooked chips. It was the small one, not the XL, but it looked like this one, with a temperature dial and a knob to set the cooking time, and that's it. There's no on-off button because the cook time dial serves that purpose. Zero? It's off. Turn it to some number of minutes, and it's on. Adding another button press to say "go" just wastes effort. I used my original for 5 or 6 years before deciding that the internals had gotten a bit gunky and I didn't feel comfortable disassembling i to clean it, so I'd treat myself to a new one. (I gave the old one away to a friend happy to disassemble it and clean it for his own use.) I got a new Philips. It had program buttons and other buttons to set things and ... for someone who wanted to set the time and temp for each cook, it was fancier and more blingy and modern but it wasn't as efficient to actually use as my previous one, because the one-touch settings generally required some adjustment anyway.

When it came time to get a new air fryer again, I considered the basic economy model of Philips that had two knobs on the front, but then I saw this one whose control design was exactly like my first one that had the temp dial at the top edge of the front. I bought it not because it was the cheapest Philips option (although it was) but specifically because I liked these controls better than flat membrane buttons Philips uses on most of its air fryers today. I don't need an LED countdown timer, or a membrane button to automatically set time and temperature for the type of food I'm cooking because I like to customise that myself.

Where it differs from my old one is in the design of the interior: in place of the removable basket with the mesh bottom that fit inside the outer drawer, it now has just the drawer with a non-stick flat grill plate that sits on top of the pinwheel design on the bottom of the drawer, not a separate basket that goes into the drawer. The down side to this is that the grill plate has less air circulation than the old mesh-bottomed basket, and I'm less comfortable with my food sitting on the non-stick grill plate than the old mesh that I thought was stainless steel. But the up side is that without a separate basket in the drawer, there's more space for food. Another up side is that it's easier to wash the grill plate than it was to wash the entirely separate basket.

I feel that the benefit of the unique pinwheel design on the bottom of the drawer, intended to promote more even cooking, is reduced somewhat (compared to the old design) by the grill plate that limits airflow more than the old mesh did. and wish they had a mesh grilling plate option. (Hint, hint!) And I wish it had a lower minimum temperature for more flexibility when drying fruit and veg. And it would be nice if there was a way to clean the upper interior without voiding the warranty so that I didn't have to replace my air fryer every 5-7 years, which is an issue with all air fryers having this design, not just the Philips. I've subtracted a star for those three things.

But this is an appliance that specialises in doing one thing well: cooking crispy food using a minimum amount of energy, time, and space. And it does this much like my original model from the early-mid 2010s did, so I'm satisfied with it. (Philips, please don't get rid of this control setup. For many of us, it is EXACTLY what we want, providing us with easy manual control of the cooker.)
