    Superior air circulation compared to other brand

    I have used the philips viva air fryer for months now. Overall, I am satisfied, but it's not perfect. I don't think it's worth more than $70. Pros: Makes More Crispy Wings Better hot air circulation Cons: Causes excessive smoke when cooking (due to uncleanable oil and grease trapped inside) Timer dial knob is not accurate. I am satisfied for the price I paid ($70 or something). But I wouldn't pay more that. The selling point for the philips brand is that the bottom of the tray has a fan shaped deflector that helps generate hot air from the bottom back up to the bottom side of the food. This feature is proved to be effective. I have compared side by side with the Gourmier brand with making air fried wings. The philips always gives out drier and crisper texture. Philips purposely make the max temp to be 390 instead of 400 in order to give way to its more expensive model. But even at 390, it seems to be sufficient. The timer knob is not so accurate, e.g. turning to 4 mins or less would not turn on the thing. You need to turn to at least 5 or more minutes for the air fryer to start. Also, after a few months of use, oil and grease are trapped inside the fan and heating element, making the air fryer generate lots of smoke . I can now only use it in my backyard. The Gourmier brand doesn't generate this kind of smoke even after a year of usage.

    I only used this once and then gave it to my brother. It didn't have enough space to fit what I wanted to eat in it. Nothing was wrong with it or anything it did. It was just too small and too basic for what I wanted.

    I bought this fryer because of the good reviews, and it is an excellent device, the only problem I noticed was the time to clean the basket, lots of food debris left in it. So I choose to return it back.

    It is works like a oven, the food need to be prepared (Soaked, boiled etc) first in order to get the best result, which takes a lot time than just frying in oil. And you need to turn the food many times in between in order to make the food crispy on all side. Even that, you don’t get the same crispy taste like the frying in oil.

    It is an air fryer. It takes longer timer than you expected to get food fried well.
