Premium Airfryer XXL, Fat Removal Technology, 3lb/7qt, Rapid Air Technology, Digital Display, Keep Warm Mode, 5 Cooking Presets, HomeID App, Family Sized, Black (HD9650/96)

Freaking happy I bought it It's been very worthwhile. As I learned the things that I could actually do with a good quality air fryer It's been a big part of my life especially since I work out a lot and work full time It allows for me to quickly make meals while cooking things like meats and other things in the air fryer while I'm cooking vegetables on the stove. I typically don't cook stuff directly on the grill I used to take a little bit of foil curled up a little on the edges and put food on top of that so that there's greases and stuff that come from the food like juice from sausages or something like that that I don't care to have to clean up so I put it in the foil open. Still allowing for the air flow around. Helpful cleaning tip Just remember every once in a while take a sponge and wipe the inside top of the air fryer just to remove any oils/greases. I ended up buying this one because I was watching America's test kitchen do a comparison of air fryers and this one basically won out. (Price v Functionality v Quality) I love the fact cuz I'm on the go that I can just pop some stuff in there go take a shower or something and by the time I'm finished food is cooked or warmed within about 4 to 16 minutes depending on if you have something that was frozen.

I love it, been using it a few weeks now, I LOVED my smaller version of this one they stopped making it, and some reviews made me think this one isn't made as well, but I don't agree, the little one lasted me 4 years but I abused the heck out of it, slopping BBQ sauce on chicken etc, it got so loud from muck stuck to the fan, however I gave it to a friend who can clean anything, he took a thin utensil wrapped some paper on it and managed to slip it between the burners coils and get a lot of muck off, he says it works great now, no noise, but I love this one more so everyone wins, I LOVE the pause feature I need to pause a lot and check the food, this one is easier to clean and I have no idea why but it is, it's not as big as the measuements on this site, I those might be the box measurements cause it does fit under the upper cabinets, I love the track it slides out on, makes it easier to use, and of course it makes excellent fried/BBQ chicken, I love a rare filet so I mix saucy balsamic with salt free spike to make a paste that turns to semi-crust when the meat is still really rare, it's so good, and salmon I make a lot, coated with chipotle mayo, sooo delish, I cook everything at 400 and after air frying for so long I forgot I'm not really a good cook but I am with the air fryer not sure why but others agree, oh yea like asparagus, I can char it but it's still really moist, air fryers, at least the Philips ones, seem to lock in the flavors as it cooks, people I know who complain about air fryers just got the wrong brand, I'm convinced of that.

After much consideration and online research, we bought this Philips Air Fryer. My husband wanted a large capacity, I wanted something that would let him eat the fried foods he loves and me not suffer from grease-induced heartburn woes. This air fryer is all we could have wished for, and more. It is a bit difficult to get grease off the burner element at the top of the air fryer after a bacon-frying session, but otherwise easy to use and keep clean. My first try at using it was to make blackberry hand pies, a treat I remembered from my youth. I found a recipe online, made it up, and the results were terrific. So easy to do, the results outside-crispy, inside-moist, and absolutely delicious. We find ourselves using this air fryer several times a week, and not a single thing we've made has been less than delicious. Fried chicken came out amazing, battered halibut filets were better even than deep-fat fried, chicken-fried steaks were stupendous. And not a hint of heartburn, either! The size is workable for keeping on a counter top, we just push it against the back wall when not in use, pull it forward 5" or so when we're cooking with it. The top is flat, the black surface is easily kept clean and looks great with my other black kitchen appliances. The basket is very large, and you can get quite a bit of food in it at once. It says you can cook a 5.5 lb whole chicken in it, though we haven't tested that out yet. It has a pause feature that lets you open the unit, shake the contents around or turn pieces, then resume cooking as before without having to re-set everything. The basket assembly easily comes apart for cleaning, and it all goes in the dishwasher just fine. The fryer is amazingly quiet when running, and the controls on the front panel are easy to learn to use. My one and only complaint is that the cooking temperature is adjustable only in 25 degree increments. Most recipes call for much finer-tuning of temperature, and we've had to learn to make adjustments for that each time we work with a new recipe. Having the ability to adjust temperature from 350 to 360, for instance, would eliminate having to keep detailed notes and trial-and-error runs to get cooking times just right for greatly differing temperatures than the recipe calls for. We chose the Philips brand because all of the serious online reviews (from America's Test Kitchen, for instance) rated the Philips at the top of their lists, as reliable, durable, and easy to use. It was more pricey than other brands, true, but we figured that we would be using it for a long time to come and would be glad we paid the extra for the quality that Philips delivers. This air fryer has added a welcome and delicious new dimension to our culinary world.

Clarify: This is the first air-fryer I have bought personally, my opinions below will not fully representative of the avg. air-fryer users. Pros: + Reduce 25-50% overall cooking time: Previously I've been "grilling" chickens and pork chops with my gas oven, which requires a long heat-up time. With this air-fryer it's just cooks immediately - 2 pork chops only requires 18 mins instead of the gas oven's additional 5 mins to heat-up to 350oF/177oC. + Large capacity, small footprint (for some): While the capacity is already mentioned on the product's name. In real cooking situation, I'm usually able to fit 4 pork chops, or 4-5 chicken breasts without requiring to stack them on top of another. While that is usually great for a small family of 3's dinner (with portions mentioned above), if you are thinking of cooking for a family of 4> then you might want to grab the grill accessory Philips sells as well. + Intuitive controls, with great instruction and recipe book: Digital always offer better custom cooking capabilities than analog. The digital controls is very smooth, cooking presets are on point, and the included recipe book is very neatly designed with good looking recipes (though I have not try any of them yet, and many of the recipes are just advertisement for the accessories of this air-fryer) Cons: + Smokey, even after 3rd and 4th runs: While it will obviously smoke during the 1st (and maybe 2nd) run, during the 4th run which we were "grilling" some BBQ Sauce-marinated chicken breasts, the air-fryer was smoking a lot, not to the point of tripping the smoke alarm but enough to make us open the window to vacate the smoke. My roommate suggested other brands do not smoke like that but then if you are using the product as it is designed for (frying), it won't smoke but if you use it to grill meats, then there is a high chance of this air-fryer doing a hotboxing in your kitchen. Overall I would still recommend this product to anyone looking for a good, high quality digital air-fryer, even if this is their first air-fryer.

I got hooked on air frying when I bought a very expensive Power Air Fryer Oven from a TV infomercial. It only lasted 5 months, so I was screwed when it just suddenly stopped working. The company refused to do anything since it was outside it's one month warranty. I did a lot of research, and finally decided on the Philips XXL Twin Turbo Air Fryer. It is expensive, But it comes with a ONE YEAR warranty. I have made tons of stuff in it, and LOVE everything about this machine! It has a large removable screen base pot above the "star" base. You can comfortably fit a small pizza in it. It makes the best frozen products! Crispy and hot fries, chicken tenders, shrimp, etc., in 10 minutes. It will hold a 5 lb. raw chicken and cook it to the same crispy-skin, tender, juicy meat perfection you get with a rotisserie; all the fat drips below the star and is ready to be drained when you are ready. Steaks, pork chops and hamburgers are a snap and cooked to perfection according to your preference, without splattering grease all over your stove and walls. Toasted subs are great! French bread pizza is perfection. Clean up is a breeze! I take my whole pot out, with the star, and the cooking insert and removable screen. I fill the base pot with hot water and Dawn detergent, add back the star, the cooking pot and screen and let it sit while I eat. Afterwards, it's just a quick rub with a Dobie, rinse and done. It also can go in the dishwasher, which I occasionally do. Unlike my first AF, this unit does not get hot on the bottom. The air is vented at the top all around. And it is a tiny bit smaller than the oven I had. I love everything about this air fryer. You may think it is expensive, but if you, like I, buy the cheaper model, when it breaks, you will have spent at least half of what this one costs. I would suggest you forego the cheap one and go with this one. Also, this is the digital model which is more expensive than the exact same non-digital model, which has now dropped in price.

This is probably the worst appliance that I have purchased in the past few years! I had an 8-quart air fryer that stopped working after 2 years. Bought this Philips XXL air fryer, expecting it to be better as it’s way much more expensive than my previous one, but it isn’t. First of all, its usable size is way much smaller than my previous 8-quart air fryer. I need to run 2 times to cook the same amount of food so spending much longer time, and hence higher energy cost. Secondly, it can only adjust temperature at every 25F interval, like 300F, 325F, 350F, 375F and 400F. You can’t get to say 360F or 340F! How come such an expensive appliance doesn’t have fine adjustment as other much cheaper air fryers?! Thirdly, very heavy smoke comes out of the back vent when cooking at temperature 375F and above, easily triggering smoke detectors! My old air fryer never had such issue! Last but not least, cleaning is really a torture, if you are not using dishwasher ( in a lot of the cases you couldn’t use dish washer to effectively remove burnt oil stains and meat that stuck firmly onto the metal parts ). There are FOUR components that you have to clean seriously every time after using it. Compared to 2 components normally found in other air fryers. I really regret buying this Philips air fryer and try to avoid using it if I can. I would not recommend this product at all! Save the money and get a much more efficient air fryer at much lower price!

I don't usually write positive reviews (and certainly not glowing ones), figuring that if anyone as sharply critical as I am likes something then plenty of other people will too, so I will have nothing useful to add. I collect a lot of different kitchen gadgets (to my wife's disgust), and even make regular use of a few of them. But I've long scorned the idea of air fryers because I couldn't imagine that they'd be any more useful than my convection oven (which is one of the gadgets that I DO use). But for some reason an article about the things convinced me to try one, and after much research this one seemed to be the "best". I don't know if that's true or not, but I LOVE this machine and use it several times a week. I haven't yet tried it for french fries (the main intended use?), but it is the cat's meow for preparing crispy, non-oily breaded fish, sausages, burgers, and a few weird veggie ideas I've experimented with. I'm really interested to see if it will prepare an acceptable tempura, but I haven't yet gotten around to trying it. Surely it cannot, but I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised. Anyone else have an opinion on that? Anyway, trust me on this one: if you don't already have an air fryer that you like, then buy this one. You WILL be happy with it. As a bonus, it is far easier to clean than I expected when I opened the package and saw what appears to be an excessive quantity of parts. I understand now that each part has a valuable purpose, and that considerable thought has gone into making you want to use this without fear of a big cleanup chore. I've only hand washed it (not owning a dishwasher), but have so far found that to be quick & easy. (When writing a review of this machine, you are asked to rate it for "Flavor". I'm not planning on trying to munch it, but I gave it five stars there just for the silliness of the question.)

I had a 'mini journey' of sorts a few months ago searching for a good air fryer. I was tempted to get the Breville air fry oven but thought the cleanup might be a bit difficult since have the regular Breville oven and it's not fun to clean. With the Philips air fryer, most of the parts can be put in the dishwasher so no worries there. Cleanup is a breeze :) I also have an Instant Pot which is also amazing and though chicken in the air fryer might be a bit on the dry side due to how it works circulating how air around the food. Boy was I wrong! The air fryer chicken is super juicy with the benefit of crispy skin! It's amazing! We settled on the Philips brand as that is pretty much the benchmark unit that others are judged against. It's not the cheapest but the quality is there and it works so well that it's definitely worth the extra cost! We purchased the larger sized unit which is perfect for whole chickens. We get organic chickens which are right around 4 lbs and they fit perfect with room for air flow. We also started making our brats in the air fryer and they brown much better than in a pan or broiler oven (see photos). If your on the fence, just get it :) You'll be glad you did.
