Philips Airfryer XL Digital HD9240/30 (White)

Good value for many – Had our XL for 2 years can't fault it It gets used at least twice a week Non stick still good make sure you clean it well after each use Agree the timer is not the best but is OK Show details ·  1

Smokes and cleaning is impossible – I bought this Airfryer from The Goodguys. Initially it was working well but after about TWO months, it just had a lot of smoke that every time we used it, the smoke alarm went off. Tried to contact the customer service to get our problems sorted, exchange it for another one or tell us how to get rid of the smoke. The customer service is absolutely terrible. This specific product is useless and waste of your money. Show details

Disappointing – I lost my Ninja Air Fryer in the February/March flood so thought this time would go bigger basket. Big mistake. This air fryer just does not get the crispy taste of the Ninja, food takes a lot longer to cook and temp only goes to 200c. Cooked salt and pepper squid tonight from frozen, on packet to cook in air fryer 190c for 10min, I gave it 10mins and still not crisp or brown. Does not cook as I expected. Show details

Had this for 3 years before we realised what a godsend it was! – When we brought this we were under the impression it was like a deep fat fryer only somehow more healthy and as a result we were underwhelmed and didn't use it for 3 years! We also failed to read the instructions and got annoyed by the fact it kept turning itself off! Firstly, many of the reviews talk about it turning itself off after a few… Read more ·  1

seconds. Yes! This is a safety feature. If you do not set a timer it will turn itself off!!!!!! Really easy to use. Read internet to get times. Set temperature. Set timer. Throw in food. Wait x mins. Eat great food. This is not a drop in replacement for a deep fat fryer. It doesn't work great with batter that has not been cooked. What it does do well: - Vegetables - Spray olive oil, black pepper and about 5mins at 200C will make pretty much any green veg fantastic. Seriously, I loath most green veg but will fight to the death for the last stick of airfried asparagus! - Similar to roasting but can shorten times massively. Great for roast capsicum. - Frozen pre cooked food like fish fingers for kids. Looks and tastes fryed and cooks in about the same time but needs no oil!!!

We have just upgraded to the XXL model and I look forward to writing my review of that!

This air fryer is excellent for small home – Our home didn't have an oven, therefore, my husband and I decided to buy an air fryer to occasionally roast steaks and fry chips. However, after using it for more than one year, we have developed several recipes, and this air fryer has ranked to be one of the most frequently used cooking wares in our home. We love it so much! It makes cooking much… Read more

easier. You don't need to flip the food frequently, just simply place the food into the fryer, set the time and temperature, then follow the cooking instructions of the recipe, then it could perfectly do the even cooking without your extra attention, which function is similar to the oven. The better part than the oven is, you can roast steaks or potato chips, etc. without spread oil on it. And you can check the food status at any time without wearing gloves, without worrying about much hot cooking smell coming out. Furthermore, the container is compact, which can be clean easily if you can place the food items into a baking paper. This air fryer is ideal for small families to do clean cooking!

Excellent investment for any kitchen – We were very sceptical about airfryers but everyone kept talking so good about them so we had to try it out for ourselves, we were in Harvey Norman one day and they had this model on special so we decided to purchase it. It makes cooking very easy and with very little mess to clean up after, very good for cooking sausages chips schnitzels and pretty muchAnything you would put in the oven, grill or frypan. Show details

Love this machine! – We use it often - more often than expected, whether to cook, defrost or re-heat meals (without the typical microwave sogginess). We've had it for almost 1 year - no issues, in thanks I'm sure to no moving parts. Well designed, reliable and great bang for buck. Show details ·  1

surprisingly good – Took a while to be convinced before we bought it. Used it every day for the last week. Cooked chips (fresh, frozen), chicken (whole, pieces), frozen food you would usually fry/oven. Quick to cook and great results. Easy to clean. Happy as. Show details ·  1

Worked when it Worked then dies – We picked up this Unit from Myers back in 2020 because we wanted to try something new a way to cook cleaner and healthier. The unit worked flawlessly without issue and cooked very quickly. The design is good takes up little space and easy to disassemble and clean which is nice to have. We hadn’t used it till 3 days ago after it being packed… Read more

away from moving and the first time in a while decided I wanted to cook something in it and as I’m standing there waiting it decided to trip the power and will NOT work again.

To say I’m angry and annoyed is an understatement it cost us good money only to have to it die so over $300 down the drain (can’t remember the price)

Unfortunately warranty is only 12 months and it way past this now so now it’s a waste of space and money not too happy.

Good while it lasts, once it breaks down no one can repair....landfill! – A lovely quick way to cook anything, but especially crumbed foods. It is easy to clean. My big concern is that it cannot be repaired once it stops working....and it is landfill. This happened after 4 years of intermittent use, just for hubby and me. Certainly not overused. Two electricians told me it can’t be fixed. I hate throwing the whole thing to the tip. I liked it, but won’t buy another simply because it is bad for the earth. Show details

Terrible product. Don’t buy – I bought this product in 2016 Oct. This is not working at the moment it turns off itself after couple of seconds when turn on. Cannot use. It’s look like faulty control unit. Philips cannot replace / or repair. But people should not get this product rather get the Kmart one for $89. Show details

WAS great except for the metal ball bearings that now fall out of the sliding drawer – I've been a keen Air fryer user for the past 3 years. Started with one of the small Vivas but soon moved on to the premium collection XL version just under 3 years ago. The XL has been great up until now. Last week I noticed a couple of small metal ball bearings on my kitchen bench next to the air fryer. When I investigated, I found a small piece… Read more

of deteriorated plastic had broken off and there were more ball bearings underneath the air fryer. It looks like the sliding mechanism that holds the drawer has deteriorated and broken, releasing the ball bearings. I'm very disappointed with this – the machine is under 3 years old and for $450 I would expect a much longer life of use for the machine. I'm surprised that a machine that heats to 200°C would use what looks like quite thin and fragile plastic to hold extremely hot metal ball bearings.

Amazing mini oven! – This is such a great item to use in the kitchen it’s like a mini portable oven that works much faster and is cleaner and easier to use. It allows a great variety to be cooked I’ve made crunchy prawns , crispy vegetables , beautiful fish and am keen to try baking in it. It can be put in the dishwasher which is great to be able to clean as well and doesn’t take away any flavour of the food cooked Show details ·  1

Beyond our expectations – •How satisfied are you with the food produced in this air fryer? Extremely satisfied, it is better than expected •What sort of food do you usually cook using this air fryer? Anything that would normally be deep fried or roasted •Is this product easy to use and clean? Very easy to use and clean Would definitely recommend this product Show details

EXCELLENT ITEM – So we purchased this Airfyer not really knowing if we could expect it to really be as good as it says. Well we were blown away. Not only does this amazing cooker make the best crunchy chips (I was so happy it was true) but they cook so much faster because it cooks the underside at the same time. They tasted amazing but also and one of the best… Read more

parts, the kitchen wasn't like a sauna from a hot oven. I love it. Only things i wish is that the basket was a bit bigger and that it was easier to clean up behind the element. It would be great if they could come up with one that the element was removable. But for the cooking, wow it is great. We cook chips, pies, popcorn etc. I also cooked a rolled stuffed turkey roast last week. I was worried it would be dry but omg it was delicious! My husband was shocked it could cook something like that so well. I was given a Bellini Airfyer as a gift recently. I didn't need it and was going to return it but figured i'd try it out as it has a basket that is at least a quarter larger. Also it has the air flutes cut into the sides as well so we figured even better cooking right? Hmmm well no. It didn't even cook underneath so it took longer. So I still had to turn the food over. NOT in the Phillips, it cooks from the bottom as well. I will never stop using this item. I use it every single day. Even just to reheat things like pizza or chicken etc. Thanks for a great product, I have always purchased Phillips brand and the quality of this item is just more proof of why I keep choosing them.

Great product – We use this almost everyday. Great product, has never let us down. Such a great variety of foods can be cooked in this air fryer. Easy to use and even came with a recipe book. Show details ·  1

Amazing – Anything you cook in oven can cook in this easy cleaning just wipe out easy to use . I'm very satisfied with all the food i cook fish chips chicken tenders macaroni cheese wings chicken pieces even a cake in the dish i bought that is for this machine .  Show details ·  1

basket lock disengages when removed from unit. Safety issue – My air fryer is 2 1/2 years old. I have absolutely loved using it. Unfortunately now when I remove the base with the handle the lock disengages by itself and the basket is separated from the base. This has happened a few times spilling hot contents onto floor or bench top and even burnt me a couple of times. Obviously the lock is faulty. Has anyone else had the same problem? The fryer was purchased from Harvey Norman Noarlunga SA  Show details ·  3

Use it every day – I have been using it everyday for just over a year and it is a versatile, sturdy and useful kitchen equipment. I hardly ever use any oil with it, and it still works perfectly with various food items. It is especially handy if you have children - I have used it to cook chicken nuggets, vege strips, dumplings, steak, and the list goes on. I strongly… Read more ·  1

recommend you to get a double layer to utilise the space within the basket. Cleaning is a bit of a bummer and it can be hectic to clean the bottom part of the fryer, but it is worth the trouble! Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic – Very satisfied, this is my second Philips airfryer. Upgraded from smaller version, still use both. Cook chicken, chips, reheat, cakes, brownies frozen foods. Most things have tried are very successful. Love, love, love it. They both sit on my bench and are my go to cooking appliance every day. They are brilliant.  Show details ·  1

LOVE IT! – Literally love this thing to death! We can't tell the difference with most foods bar things like hot chips when they've been airfried. The chips the only difference is that they're not dripping in oil and you'd think they'd been oven baked...Everything tastes exactly the same as deep fried but has 50% less fat to it! We've used our airfryer… Read more ·  2

almost every day for 2 yrs now and it's not missed a beat. Its even cooked roast porks to perfection! We really love it and highly recommend it to families and singles. We are a couple and can cook a whole packet of maccains beer battered fries in it easily.

It also cooks mini quiches in darriole(sp?) molds really well too. As well as things with puff pastry. It get the pasty well cooked and fluffy all over unlike our coil oven which will burn the bottom but leave food raw on top.

Cooks crumbed fish (from a box), spring rolls, and dim sims to perfection as well.. We love that we can just press the star and it goes for the amount of time we've set as a favourite. Seems to work for everything.

The only downside is that i'm scared to put the plastic handled baskety bit into the dishwasher, because, being plastic i'm not sure how long i'd last. But that's really just nitpicking lol. We don't need to clean it very often as nothing really sticks to it anyway and the steel catcher that holds the dripped oil is heavy duty and comes out perfectly brand new clean after a go through the dishwasher.

Great, multipurpose cooking appliance – Despite what you might think with the title "airfryer", this is actually a great little cooking appliance for basically anything you'd cook in your oven. Cooks food much faster, but very thorough so it isn't just cooking the outside while leaving the inside still cold. Great lower fat option for chips and great for baking vegetables and the like.  Show details ·  1

Good for lots of things – I have found that an airfryer is good for certain things but not everything. froze fish, chips, nuggets etc I find its actually better than the deep fryer - not just in terms of being heathier but it tastes better. Some things though I still find are better fried, but all in all happy  Show details ·  1

Reliable rand with good quality – I have ought this air fryer after seeing all advertisement in the TVs alone. I found his is a very useful product and you can use this for almost more than one kilo of chips for an example in I. it is wise to buy the bigger capacity one rather than the small one under the same brand. I do not find any problem with the product itself. It is easy to operate and maintenance as well.  Show details ·  2

Amazing and quick to use – Amazing cookwear for roast lamb, chicken, sausages, vegetables, hot chips or anything. The fryer drains all the fat leaving the food moist and juicey. I would highly recommend for anyone who is trying to lose weight or wants a quicker faster way to cooking food. The smallest size is great for two people.  Show details ·  1

quick, clean, great appliance – Great Product, doesn't take up much room, easy to clean, and cooks in under half the time of the oven, great product. Really comes into its own when cooking from frozen and quick meals for one. And very handy for quick eats when friends drop in unannounced! The only down side is the cord is a little short.  Show details ·  1

Love it! – I've had my airfryer for a few months now and just love it! I cook potato chips, nuggets, chicken etc in it. Heats up really quick. Very easy to use. No need to use any oil when cooking chicken. Only thing I don't like about it is it's not easy to wash.  Show details ·  1

Awesome way of healthy cooking! – Great results, so simple and easy to cook food. It's quick and a much healthier option rather than frying. We can adjust the temperature and time and it automatically starts and offs when the timer is up. Saves a lot of time and resources and making cooking fun, giving time to do other activities.  Show details ·  1

Great , healthy & fast cooking – Very easy to use, not that bad to clean either I have found that I can use a little oil or none, but don't get me wrong it does taste nicer with a little oil. Have cooked many meals roast pork, lamb etc... Though have found the only meal I was a little disappointed with was the fresh chips they seemed to taste burnt on the outside and raw in the middle following the outside guide to. It is a little costly but worth the $$$.  Show details ·  3

Worth purchasing – So far i have been pleased with this purchase, however, i do feel the baking dish should be included in the price. It heats my chicken quickly and efficiently, also cheese on toast, chips, pies and i am going to do a roast in it soon in the baking dish i purchased which is extra cost. I think it really does cook faster and reduces the amount of… Read more ·  1

fat you would consume, making it a healthy product and it is weight watchers approved. So as a healthy option i am for that.

Great appliance for any kitchen – I am extremely happy my Philips Airfryer, it works as it says and saves a lot of time in the kitchen, seems to be healthier too, considering you use much less oil than deep frying for example. The only hiccup with the appliance is cleaning inside, it is quite annoying cleaning the grill where some fats will deposit, however, this is not you have… Read more

to do all the time, I would say every 3 or 4 months if you don't clean it expect lots of smoke in the air.

Definitely, recommend it
