Philips Airfryer Premium XXL Digital HD9651/91

Broke just outside of warranty – We purchased a second Phillips air fryer as the first one we had lasted a long time. After upgrading to the better model in March 2021 I am very disappointed that the air fryer no longer works. Not great value for a $400 product. Show details

Love, Love, Love!!! – Love both of my Philips Airfryers I have had for years! Both were Birthday Presents (different years) that I still love using constantly years later!! Perfect for Healthy & Tasty Foods of ALL kinds! From Vegetables, Roasts, Cuts of Meat, Casseroles, Baking to "Frying" -- the options ARE literally endless! Easy to use. Love just a few extra… Read more

munutes if cooking from FROZEN too!!

I love I have NEVER had any issues with my Philips Airfryers! I will NEVER own another brand again - due to another brand almost causing a house fire & was a known fault.

I honestly cannot fault this amazing Philips machines & highly recommend this to ALL my friends & family (& have been for years!) - certainly NOT like others claiming to be what Philips truly are - THE BEST & THR Original AIRFRYER!

Philips Customer Support was amazing - friendly & helpful staff who went far & beyond with my enquiry.

Easy to register your machine for Warranty online in your Philips Account.

For those unsure &/or think its only for "Fried or Frozen Foods" you will not be disappointed & truly pleasantly surprised . They ARE worth their weight in gold!!! I will NEVER be without a XXL now!!

Philips XXL airfryer! – As a mother of small children this is one appliance I can’t live without! It is just so convenient! Not having to wait for an oven to preheat, when the kids are hungry and tired after school/daycare is an absolute life saver! I have previously owned the XL, which broke after 2.5hrs heavy use. I appreciate the bigger size, as I can now use it for… Read more ·  1

baking also. Whilst not really big enough to bake a standard cake as it burns to top. Or a family size roast, as it is not deep enough. But regularly use it for slices and scones or reheating muffins and croissants to make them crispy again. They make cooking smaller protein portions like chicken breasts a breeze. But my it’s best attribute to cooking the frozen items like pies, sausage rolls, chicken nuggets and chips etc I don’t feel it is as efficient in heating as the previous model. Taking longer to cook the same portions as previous. It is extremely user friendly, with easy press buttons and the draw pulls out easily, but still feels secure. Despite being more expensive than other highly rated brands, it’s quality and ease of use, keeps me recommending this product to others.

Forget the cheaper brands – I originally purchased a Phillips XL Air fryer and loved it but found it a little small. When Aldi launched their Ambiano brand airfryers, I bought two and both failed at their first use. I had one refunded and one replaced. The Aldi replaced one is temperamental and overheats and cuts out on a regular basis. I then purchased a Smith and Noble 10… Read more

litre and within weeks the catch holding the basket in failed, making it very dangerous. I then purchased the Phillips XXL and I cant understand why I bothered with trying such inferior products to the XXL, just because they were cheaper. The drawer mechanism on the Phillips is far superior to other brands, the heating is much more even and cooking is much quicker. The new model XXL has the bottom of the basket as a removeable mesh grid which makes cleaning very easy. I purchased the extra grill plate for the bottom and I am very glad I did. Its a brilliant machine, with no nonsense hassles, and very good quality. You truly do get what you pay for.

Great all rounder for all types of air frying – The food produced are as good or better than the oven. I've cooked scones, frittatas, bread and butter pudding, pumpkin pies. Small roasts, roasted potatoes, carrots. Reheating pies, sausage rolls. So versitile. Show details ·  1

Best thing I bought – I love this product. Best thing I purchased. It goods perfectly everytime and evenly too. I have cooked roasts, pork bellies, potatoes, chicken and even cakes. I hardly use my oven any more. I definitely recommend this to everyone. It's a must have appliance to have in your kitchen Show details ·  1

Top quality Air fryer – Just brilliant ! Leaps and bounds over the others in the market. Expensive but you get what you pay for here. Tried a couple of the lower budget options, and while good they were clunky and awkward to use. This is so simple, easy to use and most importantly a breeze to clean. Produces great food and comes with a sample recipe book, which will leave you wanting to try more and more in this great device. Show details ·  1

Very Disappointed in its life span – On an average was only used once a week for mainly frozen chips Product was purchased Dec 2018 and died in July 2022 not a very good life span for a product that cost $412.00 Very disappointed Show details

Dont waste your money – I wasted my money for this airfryer. It started to peel off next day after buying it although we use it very carefully. They used cheap material and sold it in high price. I cant see any advantages above the one from kmart. It made of plastic which the company tries to hide on advertisement. I was looking for material before buying wasn't able to… Read more

find. I thought it is from metal but it is made of plastic. I waited for ages to buy it on sale and when I applied for 50$ bonus the company make excuses to not return 50$ to me. The worst experience ever with Philips. I will never buy fro this company again. Trust me there are many brands better and healthier

Faulty Cooking Compartment! – I purchased my Philips XXL three weeks ago. This worked perfectly well on the first week but on the second week, I noticed that the door is not shutting properly. Now, on the third week it looks like the gap is already up to 3mm. Not happy! Show details

Fantastic appliance - use it more than my oven as it is so versatile – This is a fantastic appliance. This is my first air fryer. It holds a huge amount as well as being very quick at cooking. Philips also offer a great app featuring lots of different recipes to try out in the air fryer. This model also features fat removal and it is scary to see how much oil can come out of various products whilst cooking. This… Read more ·  1

cooks chips well but I have also purchased the original grill plate and baking accessories for it. Cooks steak and pork to perfection. From the cleaning perspective it is relatively easy to clean however you do need to turn it upside down if you want to clean the heating element well. I love this air fryer so much that I have bought the same model for my holiday house.

It's still working well after more than 2 years – I can't speak highly enough about this product. I'm horrified how much oil comes out or supermarket chips or reheating KFC. Easy to cook a chicken and just enough room for road potatoes. The solid basket bought separately saves cleaning a lot and cooks cakes and bacon and eggs pie etc so quickly. An amazing product! Show details ·  1

Love my Philips XXL digital airfryer. Have just ordered another – I use my Philips airfryer everyday, cooking steak with the Grill Plate(an additional accessory now but was included in the box when i purchased this item from Costco in 2019). Its great for chips, roasting baking, reheating frozen foods. I do a cauliflower bake from Aldi in 25 minutes @ 180c. Just awesome and recommended time is 45 minutes @ 200c… Read more ·  1

in a convection oven. Cleaning isn't a problem either as its dishwasher friendly and is quite easy to remove the basket. I use some kitchen paper to soak up the oil that drains to the bottom of the basket. It's healthier quicker cooking. Takes very little time to heat up and cooks 30% quicker than ovens. I love it so much the only issue I have is I need another as when I am preparing 2 recipes that require different temperatures, I need to wait till one has completed before commencing to cook the 2nd dish. Hence i am purchasing the Smart sensor Philips XXL next week.

Stoped working – Was good until it stoped working. Only got just over 12months wont spend that much money again. Threw it in the bin worst $500 I have ever spent I highly recommend do not buy it. It kept having over temp come on when it’s been off for days. Show details

Great product – It's fast, doesn't heat up your kitchen and does a really good job of crisping food. It's better for foods naturally high in fat like chicken legs. It is large, so be aware of that. Show details ·  1

This is a multi cooker – We love this product as it saves us lots of time with cooking. It is easy to clean and it does multiple things like frying, heating, grilling. I can even fry peanuts and it turned out to be crunchy, and quick. Just bought another one for my mum. I would recommend this product to everyone. Show reply

Best cooking ware I have ever bought – This has to be the best kitchen appliance I have ever bought. It is very convenient and easy to use. It saves me from using my large oven wasting power and time to heat up as this machine heats up in a blink. Highly recommended to all Show details ·  1

Perfect, I cant live without it! – I've had the prior Phillips air-fryer models and can say that cleaning this one is so much easier! I use it everyday and don' t know what i would do with out it. Easy to use, easy to clean and makes amazing food! Show details ·  1

Love this machine – You can use this good quality piece of kitchen equipment to cook almost anything you would in an oven. Hot chips (home made or shop bought) come out perfectly. Reheating different food such as pastries to chicken wings or even roast meats from raw. So versatile we use it daily! Uses little power and I can reheat small amounts of things without turning on our huge oven. Show details ·  1

Would be convenient, but too failure prone – I did use this air fryer a lot - it was very convenient for thinks like frozen chips, schnitzels and roast vegetables, etc. Unfortunately I have experienced several design faults that have left me wondering whether I made the right choice. I had to send it back once when the interface died, and the new unit rattled and shook like crazy (there is… Read more

clearly something wrong with the fan) with an interlock that didn't seem to work either. The second unit eventually failed completely as well, and this time Philips is not responding to attempts to resolve the issue.

As they are not responding to my repeated attempts to resolve the issue, I am left with a very expensive pile of junk if Fair Trading does not resolve the issue.

Simply Amazing – This Philips AirFryer is simply an amazing piece of technology. It is super efficient in cooking food and results in food being crispy without the need of oil. Would absolutely recommend for anyone looking for a healthier way to cook. It cooked 50 mini Dim Sims in 20 miniutes with not one undercooked or still frozen. This product is super easy to clean and can be used from baking to grilling to frying. Show details ·  1

This is Perfect – Air fryer fries the food pretty quick and the food is always crispy when taken out. The chips especially! However the air fryer is difficult to clean due to its heavy weight. Show details ·  1

Best thing I've brought – The best thing I have brought we cook everything in it. Dont cook something that has a lot of fat on it. As the fat spits up on the heating element and starts to smoke. Show details ·  1

Game Changer Kitchen Appliance – I was on the fence if I should buy this or not as I don't eat a lot of 'fried' food. However after reading the great recipes online which include the fried food but lots of other recipes then I bought one. The HD9651 I purchased is impressive as it doesn't need to be heated up like my main oven saving a lot on electricity costs. Plus for things… Read more

like oven chips it cooks them 2/3rds quicker and turn out better. Roasted veggies are another great thing again much quicker than my oven. Fish, Steaks, Chicken are all possible. Downsides are although cleaning is easy there is a lot of bits to fit in your dishwasher although a quick rinse under the tap works well. Plus time will tell if the non-stick coatings last over time.

A++++ game changer product for me which saves me a lot of time for after-work-mid-week cooking.

Love it! Went from no cooking skills to making meals for the family! So amazing – We bought one after using my parents. WOW! How is it this simple to make everything from chips to steak to chicken breast all with the push of a few buttons? We never fried food in the hoise before. Just too much work but now frozen chips go from bag to tray. 180 degrees and 10 mins later we have perfectly chrisp chips. So many recipes and so hard… Read more

to screw up.

I have bought a lot of appliances to "help" me cook over the years from a slow cooker to a Regal Cook4Me but this is completely fool proof.

Highly recommend it and great for busy families.

Plus I wash everything in the dishwasher. Brilliant!

My new favourite appliance! – The Philips XXL AirFryer is my new favourite appliance! It’s taken over the tasks that my oven and deep fryer would normally get given. Cook time is ridiculously fast and I love that there is no preheat time. The machine itself is large enough to cook a whole chicken! I’ve noticed food is a lot less oilier when we cook in the AirFryer. The… Read more ·  1

instructions are easy to understand and straight forward. My husband is dying to get his hands on it to give it a whirl. Everyone goes to bed with a full belly after I make dinner in the AirFryer! Oh and it’s super easy to clean!

Not working – Purchased this a couple of days ago and thought I'd start off with something easy. So followed instructions on how to do the homemade fries. Well after an hour of trying and retrying it's just not happening. Airfryer will not heat up. Very disappointed will be returning this airfryer tomorrow. Show details

One of the best appliances you can have in your kitchen – I had the old ones. But needed a bigger one. I do love these things. I make a bbq chicken in it every week. Takes 60 mins. I cut it up and make wraps for boys school lunches. The kids can also just put things in it when they get hungry. Party pies, spring rolls, fish etc... get it it’s worth it. I couldn’t live without this. One of best things Phillips has ever made. I can’t fault it. Show details

Favourite Kitchen Appliance – I wish I got on to this earlier - what a huge time save and another means of cooking healthy meals. We've cooked all sorts of delicious meals in ours (stuffed capsicums, fish cakes, roast chicken, pork, vegetables, bread, scotch fillet, seafood - list goes on), yet to make chips! Results are always consistent and perfectly cooked, locked full of… Read more

flavour and juicy. Cleaning is easy - removable parts straight into the dishwasher. Only part a little hard to clean is the top element. I cant rave enough about this air fryer. Will be purchasing accessories to try baking recipes

Indispensable kitchen workhorse! – I first purchased the smaller sized Philips XL Airfryer, but found it too small for meals for 2 adults, and the occasional additional person. However the concept was so brilliant that after one month I sold the XL and purchased the larger XXL size. The Airfryer does all “brown” cooking, i.e. baking, dry-frying, grilling. It sits on my bench-top… Read more

and we use it at least once every day. It bakes fish for two people in 10 minutes to perfection. No oil needed, the fish cooks in its natural oil - seared on the outside and moist on the inside. Same for steak. Even whole roasts a small whole chicken with veggies. Just set the timer and leave the Airfryer to do its magic. We’ve been using it every day for 15 months, sometimes multiple times per day – great for students to quickly cook packaged snacks like oven bake fish, pies, sausage rolls – in 10 minutes rather than 20-30 minutes in conventional oven. There is no preheating. Just put the food in and set the temperature and time - although most foods cook on the maximum 200 degrees setting. Uses much less power than a conventional oven. For best potato chips, soak the potatoes in water first to wash off surface starch before airfrying in a tsp of oil, salt, rosemary. I recommend watching the videos that are on Youtube.

The only negative I’ve found is that the design of the Airfryer makes it difficult to clean fat-splatter from the roof of the Airfryer behind the element where I can’t get a steel pad through all the way. (The drawer parts can go in the dishwasher). Stale fat smells when re-heated – so it really is necessary to clean the fat from behind the element, even semi-frequently. I haven’t checked out other brands but if the element is at the top in other airfryers, then the cleaning problem will be the same as for the Philips Airfryer. If a better design hits the market that is easier to clean I will swap over. Apart from the fat collection being difficult to clean, the Philips XXL Airfryer is the most useful appliance in our kitchen next to the water kettle. It’s a workhorse and is indispensable!

I bought my Airfryer when Philips were offering $50 Mother's Day cashback promo. I later bought another one for a wedding gift.

NB: I also purchased the Aldi Airfryer because it looked easier to clean than my Philips Airfryer, but returned it for refund after a week because it was too noisy and also the cooking drawer didn’t slide smoothly and frequently was fiddly to close properly. It doesn’t have sliding tracks like the Philips Airfryer does. The Aldi Airfryer is much cheaper and is inferior in quality to the Philips Airfryer.
