    I love this product. Though I was skeptical, it has door everything it advertises. The only downside is the capacity, but you can work around that issue while cooking the rest of your meal. The food comes out crispy not greasy and there is not greasy smell. Also clean up is easy, the nonstick surface allows for quick cleanup.. I'm impressed!

    Best Hot Air Fryer from Philips

    Philips Air Fryer certainly working as expected. We have cooked fries, onion rings and banana and all came out very crisp and taste is awesome. I really like using this air fryer to cook crisp foods by using hot air rather than a lot of messy / unhealthy oil. It cooks really fast. The controls are very easy to set temperature and time. The basket can be released with one button click. The unit is little loud while cooking. The design is very elegant and it can fit in a cupboard. The manual is not great and very difficult to follow the instructions. This particular model missing many useful accessories as listed on the box. The cookbook that is included is very helpful. I prefer to use the phone app which is simpler to use. This fryer can be used to Fry, Bake, Grill and Roast. It is very easy to clean. Please be careful while using the basket and gets very hot. Also, another issue is it comes with very short card which limits where you can place it. Overall, it is excellent product for cooking and definitely a great alternative for deep frying.

    It Is A Healthier Option

    I'm happy that a healthy cooking option is available to me and others for many favorite foods such as fries and wings. To start off I think it is easy to use and operate. The model I have do seem out dated because of the dial timer and other aesthetic features but the box have a 2015 date so maybe I just received an older version. After looking online Philips do offer digital and other models that seems more updated. I tried wings, baked potatoes and even mozzarella sticks and they all tasted good. I downloaded the Philips recipe app and I will try the recipes so I can get more use out of my new hot air fryer. It's easy to clean but it is a little on the heavy side for my fiancé when she is emptying out the basket. I dislike fryers because of after a few uses it becomes greasy but because this Philips use little to no oil I think I'll be fine. When it comes to the price I think it should be lower because regular fryers are a fraction of the price. I will say it is a great product but I don't think the price is attractive. Also be prepared to buy accessories so you can take advange of more recipes. Be healthy and eat healthy!

    Good appliance that works as its supposed to. This is my first air fryer so I don't have anything to compare it to. However it worked well. In my opinion this is basically a smaller oven that cooks food faster due to rapid heat circulation. I think air fryer is a stretch. Works better for meats than items such as French fries, where the oil/deep fry is key to the flavor. Overall a 4.5/5 but I'm not convinced I would purchase another air fryer. Pros: Easy to use Quick set up Cleans easily Comes apart into pieces to achieve thorough cleaning Doesn't take a huge amount of counter space, smaller footprint than my toaster oven Cons: Thermostat is analog dial type. At the price point I would expect to see a digital thermostat for more accurate temperature control. Can only turn on/ off using dial timer. No settings to keep food warm. No ability to program on/off time. Short cord Not really big enough to feed four, nor enough space to cook a medium/large whole chicken, only the smaller ones. Overall not very spacious If you are looking for a basic air fryer at this size, this will do the job. It works as it should. Food comes out warm, cooked, and tasty. However I would not consider this to give the real flavor of fried food, just the texture.

    Healthier alternative to frying

    Let me say, I'm really happy with the results I was able to get from the Philips - Air Fryer. I cooked frozen fries and shrimp lumpia. They came out great. The won ton skins were crispy and just as if it were fried in oil. The fries were a little soggy but still good. I would highly suggest to know exactly cook temperatures and times for each individual dish you're making to get the best results. The tray is non stick so it's very easy to clean. you can fit about 4 large chicken thighs and maybe a couple of drum sticks in to the tray at one time so it's not as big if you're trying to feed a large family.

    I got it as a gift for my girlfriend so I didn't know what to expect. I wanted a Phillips so I knew I was going to pay for a better product. It's easy to use, cooks extremely fast and it's definitely a healthy way to cook. I gave it 4 stars just because it a little towards the small side. No complaints, it works well!

    As the general household cook I've come to love this purchase. A little loud but then again the entire point of it is to blast extremely hot air over raw materials quickly to cook them... so there's that... it is ridiculously easy to clean. Our only complaint is the size.. there are larger products of this kind out there so if you are cooking for more than two to four people.. consider an xl version. Perfect for a couple trying to eat a little healthier without giving up things like.. you know.. taste.. or happiness.

    I picked up the air fryer for my wife on mother's day 2018. We previously used a fry daddy. The air fryer is a nice, healthier option than deep frying. It uses minimal oil and is pretty quick. For poultry (chicken tenders, etc) it does take a little longer than the directions recommend. She really loves using it for cauliflower (w/sriracha) and brussel sprouts (w/parmesan cheese). If you have a large family, plan on taking a while to finish and several batches. For our family of 4, it's just right.

    I love this! We are able to enjoy “fried” foods without the oil splatters and the mess. It very easy to use even the analog kind. There is a useful guide on the front of the machine so you can take the guess work from figuring out how long the chicken tender or fries need to be cooked and at which temperature. Now, if only cleaning the inside of the fryer is also easy. I am guessing in a couple of years, the heating coils will get oily and sticky and will make it hard to clean the panel behind it.

    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.

    I bought this frier as an experiment. I felt it could be a good idea but wasn’t sure how it would turn out. This frier works better than advertised. I gave it four stars because the accessories are difficult to match.

    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.

    Makes good food, but hard to set to low time

    When you get the analog timer dial set just right it makes good tasting healthy food, but it is hard to set the dial to a small enough amount of time to make french fries and shrimp without overcooking them. The dial goes to 30 minutes and since you are supposed to shake fries and shrimp half way through you have to set it to about 5 minutes which is hard to do. Perhaps I wouldn't have this problem if I bought the digital version.

    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.

    I'm new to Air Fryer, it takes a little experimentation to get the perfect cook. This air fryer is one of the best, for even heating. Excellent for frozen fries. Small potatos are great.
