Customers consistently note the Viva Collection 2.75 qt. TurboStar™ Analog Air Fryer's ease of use and cleaning, as well as its ability to produce juicy, flavorful food with little to no oil. However, some users mention the small basket size and limited capacity as drawbacks, finding it insufficient for larger families or meals. The air fryer's noise level during operation is also a point of concern for some customers. While many praise its performance, a few mention that the instructions could be clearer and that more precise temperature control would be beneficial.

I originally had a tabletop oven (Oyama) and after a good 3 years or so it burned out. I decided to invest in an air fryer instead. Overall I am happy with the results of food cooked in it. What I don't like though is the fact that oil splatters on the heating element and you can't clean it! If Philips fixed this issue it would be a 5 star product in my eyes.

This is a good air fryer, does the job as expected and cooks evenly, easy to clean. wish it came with the tray though, but can be bought separately.
Can rival higher price air fryers.

Bought this as a healthier alternative for the fried foods we love at home. Expected taste and crispness to suffer, but was pleasantly surprised to see I was wrong on both counts.

Really easy for fries, fish and chicken.
Cooking chicken takes a bit longer than recommended, but tastes great.
Saves electricity as heats up instantly compared to oven.
Real time saver.

Our daughter loves fries and this is a much healthier way of cooking. She likes the way they taste so much out of the air fryer that she has been making her own meals with it.

I have wanted a fryer for quite some time but I have also wanted to not blow up to 500+ pounds! This (kinda) solves both problems. I say kinda, because I can't fry everything I would possibly want (donuts/hushpuppies) but it does cut down a bunch on the oil without sacrificing crispiness or taste.
I've only had the fryer for about a week so I haven't done a ton of frying (that whole not blowing up thing), but what I have done has turned out phenomenal. I have done both fresh french fries as well as prepackaged tater tots.
While the fries take quite a bit longer than just pouring them out of the bag like I used to but that is all prep time. Once they are in the fryer, they don't take much time at all. The same goes for the pre-packaged things like tater tots (they actually cook quicker than an oven). On top of that, they taste a heck of a lot better too and I can get them exactly the way I want them. Add in a bit of homemade ranch dressing, and I'm in heaven.
The other great thing is that it is super easy to clean up. The 'basket' can go right in to the dishwasher, and the metal mesh can actually be popped out of the bottom and washed by hand if you really need to but with both of the times I have used/cleaned it so far, it hasn't been needed.
I have gone through the recipe guide app (the one that comes in the box, only has a few recipes), and there are a lot of things I want to try. The only problem is that I need to buy a few of the accessory baskets to make it work. Out of the box you can only do simple frying (coating the items with a little bit of oil and cooking), some of the other ways of cooking that this supports need the solid bottom baking pan or the grill pan. That isn't really a knock against the Philips Viva, it is just an observation that this appliance can do a lot more than just fry, but you need to buy some accessories. If all you are looking for is just something to do frying, then the Viva will do an awesome job for you. My only other gripe would be the size of the basket. It is great for just the wife and I but if I ever wanted to use this for a party or something like that, it is going to take a lot of batches to make it work. Again, short of having a massive fry station, there aren't too many other options that could do better but I do have a double oven and could have multiple baking pans going with fries or tots (but then again, they wouldn't taste as good)
With all that being said, I am very pleased with the Philips Viva fryer. I get the taste/crispiness of a regular fryer without the gut busting calories (well at least not as many).
