Philips Analog Airfryer

Purchased the analog XXL large model to replace a previous air fryer. Is a great size and the uses seem to be endless, used for cooking traditional deep fried items, but have also use to cook bacon, sausages, pastries, toasted sandwiches, small roasts and my son has even cooked eggs in their shells. It gets used nearly every day.

Pros: good size for my large family, does a fantastic job of crisping things up and in a portion of the time it would take in an oven. Wonder why I persevered with my old air fryer for so long The frying tray ...

I have same problem as others on this posting - my timer numbers completely disappeared within 12 months. Only used damp cloth to clean outside (water only) - no abrasive cleaners. Is there a template so I could put the numbers back on or can you now buy a dial with the numbers on it. Happy with the machine, but guessing the times.

Works well but when I cooked some turkey pieces I had to scrub the "non stick" bottom of the cooker for 20 minutes plus with a plastic scourer to clean the burnt on residue. The meat wasn't over cooked but even after soaking overnight in dish washing liquid and water it was very difficult to clean.
The bottom of the cooker had previously shown signs of discolouration even after cooking frozen fries at the recommended settings.
Purchased 09.09.2021 and expected better.
Will be returned for refund.

We bought the XXL non-digital. This is our first airfryer and after 1 week we are very happy with what it can do - great for quick snacks for the kids. This unit is very simple - just 2 analogue dials and very easy for the kids (teenagers) to make their own snacks. One thing you should be aware of (we weren't) - it is very loud. Like a slightly muted leaf blower. I am not sure if all airfryers are like this but if there are quieter ones I would probably go that way in future. This one is very intrusive.

This is the first air fryer we bought and we absolutely love it. The reason we bought it was the great price combined with the cheap (affordable) price as compared to other air fryers. This is an XXL size and some much smaller air fryers sell for a similar price.

The air fryer isn't a digital display but it is very easy to use and very easy to cook food perfectly so I am not sure how a digital display would benefit us.

The controls are very easy to use with an accurate temperature control and timer. They are very accurate as compared to an...

My coating is coming off after 2+ years. I did read a review where with one client it happened after one week. I wonder if it is contaminating my food with this breakdown. For a quality product this should not happen. I rang Phillips and they said it is safe and you can buy a spare part. I cannot trust what they say. If Phillips prides itself on quality products which I doubt after there sleep apnea issue then you would have to doubt.
We are excited when buy products in good faith from these multinationals which can come back at you with a vengeance. Not happy Jan!

We bought this to replace a t-fal actify which we can't find anymore, which lasted us for 8 years and various replacement parts that wore out.

This airfryer compared to the actrify:

1. Big, bulky, loud, and doesn't cook enough chips at a time.
2. No rotation / circulation -- you have to manually shift the chips around so they cook evenly.
3. Absolutely awful to clean -- Lots of hard-to clean areas inside the cooking basket / drawer that grease builds up on
4. Fragile and complicated -- the clunky cooking drawer was dropped and the handle broke -- now the entire machine is worthless. We were using it regularly for the kids chips, but neither of us was disappointed that it broke.

Had the unit since 9/2020 and loving it.
It has been cleaned well with a non-abrasive sponge.
The disappointment came a few days ago I noticed the bottom pan's coating had a few bubbles and it then peeled off. Those tiny white spots are the outcome after the black coating came off.
On the good side, it cooks perfectly well and shorten the cooking time.
It is an alternative to the stove/microwave for me.

It makes my life so easy as I can cook lots of different things including meats.
The only the problem is that the numbers on dial has been fading so quickly.

Really good product and efficient with the way it cooks. I am really happy with product. We bought other similar product from Philip air fryer for family member as well

Perfect size,heats up quick,cooks evenly and really simple to use,cleans really good,I don't need to use my big oven any more,makes anything you make in a oven,and has a good size cord

This airfryer has helped me maintain a healthy lifestyle. I have used this air fryer for all types of meals prepared including savoury snacks, fish and chips. It fries the food in approximately 10-20 minutes. Only problem I faced so far is that the drawer can be sometimes hard to shut and and I accidently dropped it because the handle is a bit hard to grip. Can be cleaned easily and can use a second tier for cooking two types of food.

Does its job well. The only complaint we have is that the drawer compartment is slightly flimsy and sometimes doesn't close flush to the body.

I find the internals easy to clean, and the overall quality and performance good.

Have only purchased 10 days ago and am a little concerned. The machine turns off before the timer has finished. The machine and the timer don't appear to be in sync. For e.g.: The timer may still have 5 mins to go and the machine finishes cooking and all i can hear is the remaining ticking of the timer until it finishes. I am feeling very worried that this could potentially be a safety hazard.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I love our air fryer, it’s the best appliance I have ever brought. It cooks so much faster than putting your food in a normal oven. Has last us 5 years and still going strong!! Easy to clean.
