Philips HD9240/90 Avance Collection Airfryer Extra-Large, 3 Litre, 2100 Watt, Black

Had this air fryer a philips HD9240/90 for two days now and used it twice, I got the warehouse deal one for a 100 pound less. First off i have to say it is a quality product, you notice this firstly in its weight. it is a good 2kg heavier than other air fryers of a similar pan size or larger. The first thing we cooked in it was normal frozen chips, when filled to the maximum allowed in the pan and holds about the same as our deep fat fryer, maybe a bit more, which is good for 3 servings of a decent amount of chips per person, could stretch to 4 servings. 24 minutes cooking time at 200 degrees, a slight shake of the basket after 12 minutes, although it did not really need that as the chips do not stick to the pan or each other. The taste was fantastic, much the same as a normal deep fat fryer, not as dry as you might think they would be, so no more deep fat frying for us. After the chips were done i put in two frozen quarter pounder beefburgers for 8 minutes at 180 degrees, it was still warm from the chips, and it cooked them to perfection, just the same as the frying pan only no fatty oil to contend with, they also tasted great. We tried chips again the next day and sausages, and again they came out perfect and tasty, Will give it a rest for a few days now, even though the food is a lot healthier than a fat fryer, we dont want to over do it.I could have chosen a cheaper product, but this philips had the best reviews, and was a bigger model than other philips air fryers, so i took the plunge and went for this one, although the amazon price is 250 pounds normally, that was too expensive, so i waited for a warehouse deal or the term used, came up in the description, and was lucky enough to find one before it was gone, only for a slight tear in the box, i can find no marks on the fryer itself, pricing history for this model has its lowest price of 120 pounds for maybe a day back in may, so a. camelcamelcamel price watch could come in handy to notify you when the price falls, New year sales might have a good sale price for this model. I would recommend the philips models with the starfish design in the pan, as i think this does actually do what it is supposed to do, it circulates the hot air under the frying basket as well as at the sides, because all the chips were fried evenly. Cleaning this product is fairly simple to do after each use, or even a couple of uses, but no more, every couple of months or so it is advisable to clean the heating element as well with a mixture of baking soda and water mixed and poured into a spray bottle, their is a few youtube videos to show you how to do this properly, so i will have to give them a watch nearer the time. I realize i have only tried this out twice, but i could not be happier from the limited use i have put this machine through, i had to write this review, i was so tempted to go for a cheaper fryer, it may have been just as good, but i did not want to take the chance, i did plenty of research on google and youtube before deciding on the philips brand, and then it was a matter of finding the right size one for out family, this is so good i am tempted to buy a second smaller model one, so all the food would be ready at the same time, but as the cooking time is so short, their is not long to wait after the chips are done to cook sausages or beefburgers and the like. At this time i would highly recommend this brand and model air fryer, if anything changes in time, i will come back and edit this review, but fingers crossed, the deep fat fryer will be thrown out, i was so sick of all the steam from that blasted thing, no matter how many windows i opened, the steam would not got out the window, only fill the kitchen up with that greasy sticking mess, the philips does give off a small bit of steam, but nowhere as near the amount of the deep fat fryer, and not the greasy steam of the fat fryer either. Hope this review is helpful to other potential owners of an air fryer.

Best Quality Air fryer we used last 5 years, 3 litter is good enough for 2-3 person, easy to use healthy food you make without oild, Noise level is okay they have different temperature options to cooked

I thought I'd write my review of this new fangled gadget I bought, I was a bit sceptical about buying it, but I am genuinely glad I did.Is it worth the £200? Eh, it is kind of pricey, but it does make some good meals.I've used it about 50 times so far, but haven't made anything too overly complex.ChipsI didn't bother making home made chips, I just used the McCain home fries and even the low fat oven chipsAll of which come out crispy/golden brownRoast potatoesFrozen pre basted roast potatoes (Aunt Bessie's etc), cook in half the time it takes in a regular, no fan ovenIn a fan oven, you have to preheat, which is 10 minutes, then cook for 45 minutes, so nearly an hour in total.In this air fryer, I shove the potatoes in, without preheating, and they're done in 20-22 minutes and they are crispy.MeatMeat, if it's fatty, can be an issue, not in cooking, but with regards to the smoke that comes out of the vent on the top of the air fryerSo fatty meats like Pork loin or lamb, can smoke out the kitchen if you have the temperature high enough.But it's kinda worth it, steaks cook all over and have a gorgeous crispy surface, if you like them like that.The only meat I tend to cook to recommended time, is chicken, chicken drumsticks take about 18-20 minutes, but the result is worth itIf you love crispy chicken skin, then yes, definitely worth it!I think my favourite thing about it, is it's so easy to reheat or cook things with minimum fussIf you fancy a bown of chips one night, for instance, you just chuck the chips in, 12 minutes later and they're golden brown.One issue I notice if you use something which has high fat content, is the fat either splashes? or spits onto the roof of the inner chamber, then finds its way down to the bottom of the chamber and drips onto the work surface below.

I bought it 3 weeks ago, the chips whether bought from supermarket or the ones you make at home comes out much tastier and crispier and quicker than the conventional oven. Kids love it. If you are trying to make home made chips it only takes one or two teaspoons of oil.You can put up to a kilo of chips at one time, but I find 600 to 700 grams ideal and ready in less than 10 minutes.I tried some chicken, fish, samosas and bajis (precooked frozen from stores) and all came out superb.Negative points.1,Slightly bigger than you actually think,2/3 size of a 700W microwave oven. 2, You cant keep under cabinets as it will get all steamy and wet. 3, Cleaning can be bit fidgety, but okay.
