20 Best Air Fryer As Seen On Tv (2023 Updated)

I had this a few years and then thew it out because it was such a hot mess. First,don’t use it close to anything. the issue isn’t what’s behind it but the heat from this itself melted the air fryer! I put it on my stove as I knew it wouldn’t damage paint or be accidentally touched by a towel or anything and multiple times it just melted itself.

Second, after a few uses the handle cracked. It was still usable but not great quality apparently. Lastly, the markings came off quickly and the little rubber protectors that hold up the shelf inside came right off and got lost.

I am not hard on my appliances but when I use them I expect them to perform in the intended function. This does air fry things but that’s the only thing it does right. Get a better quality from the start and save yourself.

I have a larger air fryer but it’s a pain to get it out all the time. I purchased this compact one to cook my frozen salmon patties I get from Costco since I eat one almost every day. This fryer is small enough to keep on the counter.

What I like the most is that I don’t have to reset the temperature every time like I have to on my old one. I set the dial at 400 and it stays there until I change it. I also like that the minute selector is a dial.

For my old one I had to press buttons to add or subtract minutes. the dial is much more efficient, although maybe not as precise. No big deal. Overall very pleased with the convenience, efficiency and cuteness of this fryer with no annoying button sounds, just a classic “ding” when it’s done.

Definitely made for making single portions. My first challenge was to find accessories that would fit inside. The Dash website does carry an accessory set that will fit inside their compact Air Fryer, but it was tough to find them, as the Dash web site was sold out, and the product descriptions had to be read very closely because Dash makes more than one kind of “compact” airfryer.

I finally tracked down the right set on Amazon at a reasonable price (one vendor wanted more for the accessories than the cost of the Air Fryer). I’ve enjoyed trying out various recipes, though I’ve learned that when making “baked” or breaded items, I need to cover them with foil for at least half the cooking time or I end up with very burnt tops or slightly charred coatings.

So far, I’ve made single servings of french-onion chicken breast, muffins, fries, salmon, a mini cake, a hasselback potato, reheated and crisped up roast beef hash, garlic toast, cinnamon bread and have more recipes to try.

So far cleaning the Air Fryer had been really easy. While it is supposed to be dishwasher safe, I’ve opted to handwash the main basket and insert, a really easy chore. It’s also easy to store with its compact footprint.

I recommend this Air Fryer as long you recognize it limitations. Eventually, I’ll get a bigger AirFryer, but for now, I’m getting alot of use out of my Dash Compact Air Fryer and having fun doing so.

As someone who is health-conscious, I’m always looking for ways to innovate my home cooking, but I’m also a creature of comfort. I love the taste of fried foods, and can’t completely give them up. My experiences with other air fryers had left me unimpressed, as it was too easy to under or over cook items.

The Vortex ClearCook solves this problem with a viewing window, eliminating guesswork. I am impressed with the speed at which it preheats, taking mere minutes to reach readiness. The size is more than adequate for my family of 6.

It was easy to use, and I appreciate that its cooking basket is easy to clean. In my experience, the foods came out evenly crisped and heated, and tasted so good, I wouldn’t have believed they weren’t traditionally fried if I hadn’t done it personally.

The Vortex Plus ClearCook from Instant has been a welcome addition to my kitchen appliances, and I consider it an essential piece of cookware.

TLDR: air fryers are great, but the Instant Vortex should be avoided My wife and I really enjoy using our Instant Pot because it’s fast, convenient, has many options for type of cooking and is very well built, so when we decided to get an air fryer, the Instant Vortex was an easy pick.

However, we quickly learned that the Vortex is not the same kind of innovative and well made product we had come to expect. Out of the box, we were a bit disappointed to see that there were no sample recipes to try, unlike our Instant Pot.

Also, the power cord is fixed, rather than removable like on our Instant Pot which we appreciate because it makes it easier to store when not in use. The interface on the Vortex uses cheaper feeling capacitive buttons and the piano black and brushed black plastic finish doesn’t look nearly as nice as the brushed stainless finish on our Instant Pot.

The basket of the Vortex and the included grate are very thin sheet metal with a non-stick coating on them, while the Instant Pot includes a thick stainless steel pot. Initial impression was that the Instant Vortex might not even be made by Instant, it might just be a rebranded air fryer because the quality of the product was nothing like what you get with an Instant Pot.

For our first use of the Instant Vortex, we decided to make chicken wings and french fries at the same time, an ideal combo for this air fryer. Since the maximum temperature the Vortex will go to is 400 Fahrenheit but the fries required 450, we set the timer a bit longer than the stove cooking directions for the fries and keep an eye on them through the cooking process.

To our surprise the chicken wings and french fries cooked quicker than they would have in a stove and at a lower temperature. The fries were golden and crispy, and the wings cooked through and had a wonderful crunchy coating like you’d expect from an oil fryer.

After washing the basket and grate with a soft soapy brush and rinsing them, we placed the basket on our stove to dry before putting it back into the fryer. Our puppy decided to inspect the basket and knocked it off the stove, snapping the poorly constructed handle off.

My wife contacted Instant about getting a new handle but they informed me that no replacement parts were available for the Vortex, so they offered to sell her a new unit for a discounted price, which she did.

With our new Vortex, we noticed after about 20 uses that the non-stick coating on the grate was wearing off, which had us worried about consuming the Teflon coating, so we stopped using the grate. We again contacted Instant, this time to see about a replacement grate for our newer fryer and a handle so we could fix our older fryer so we could give it to my parents.

Once again we were informed that there were no replacement parts available for the Vortex, so Instant offered to send us a third Vortex for free. Our experience with our Instant Vortex has been very bitter-sweet.

Over the course of a year, we’ve gone through 3 units and while air-fried food is wonderfully crispy, fast cooking and healthier than traditionally fried foods, the Vortex itself is a very poorly built product.

My wife’s parents have a T-Fal Actifry which has worked well for them for a few years, and it has an agitator to continually stir the food during cooking so you don’t have to repeatedly shake the basket like you do on the Vortex.

We ended up selling the third Vortex that we got and will be putting that money towards a different air fryer, something better built.

So there is definitely was a difficult time in choosing an air fryer because as you know, there are so many to choose from. So many price variables and claims to what each fryer can do. In my case, I just wanted real crispy potatoes and real crispy chicken, along with my roasted vegetable that I have been doing in the oven for a while.

I also wanted something simple to use. I didn’t want to sit down and take a course in learning how to use the unit. This Instant Pot Air Fryer, push air fry, push time-adjust with dial, then push temp-adjust with dial and start.

That’s it. During the process it will beep to add food and beep part way through to remind you to stir the food. Simple and the results for me are very satisfying. So this machine is everything that I was searching for.

Perfect fries. For frozen fries, I don’t add anything and the results after 15-20 mins on 400 are amazing. For fresh potato fries, I will use a small amount of oil in a bowl to coat the potatoes and BOOM.

So I surely would recommend it. If this holds up anything like the pressure cookers, then this will be another solid item. I do have a toaster oven air fryer by Cuisinart and for those of you who are looking to which one is better, the instant air fryer makes it crispier.

The Cuisinart does hold more food I find. Instant fryer is much easier to clean than the other one. This is Rob approved.

I have a Phillips Air Fryer that came out at the beginning of airfrying. It’s nice but the basket is way too small to make enough for my family in one batch so I barely used it. I really wanted to be able to cook a whole chicken and couldn’t in mine.

I finally decided it was time to get myself a larger one and we have been using it non-stop since. I read all kinds of reviews on units and this one had great reviews, and I love my Instant Pot so I went with this one.

I am soooo glad I went with this one. The controls are awesome,if there’s a window that lets you see inside the basket and it’s the perfect size for a family. It’s also simple to clean. We’ve made roast chicken, crispy chicken thighs, chicken tenders, roasted potatoes, baked potatoes – even tater tots come out great! I saw reviews mentioning plastic odor and there was no odor whatsoever, so I don’t know what they’re talking about.

I LOVE this Air Fryer and I just bought my son one for his apartment and he loves his too. Do not hesitate to go with this one. It’s great!.

CosoriPro XLS II Smart 5. 8 qt. Black Digital Air Fryer is absolutely the best air fryer I’ve ever owned and I’m in love with this air fryer!! This wonderful air fryer makes cooking very easy and fun! It is a great size for my family of 5.

I have had it for about two weeks and I have made various chicken dishes, lots of vegetables and potatoes, and even reheated pizza. Everything that I have tried in the air fryer has been so easy to make, cooked very quickly and the taste is absolutely great! It is very easy to use and the instruction booklet is very helpful and simple to understand.

I also love that it comes with a recipe book! I am looking forward to trying some of those new recipes. The basket has been very easy to clean and is dishwasher safe which really makes clean up easy! It also has an app that can connect the air fryer to your Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant which is absolutely GREAT! Everything can be controlled via the app and Bluetooth.

It alerted me when the air fryer was done preheating, and then I was able to set it to start cooking with a simples press of a button, then the app sent another alert when it was done. Never have to leave the couch when using the app.

This is a great air fryer. It would really make a great wedding, shower, birthday or housewarming gift. I highly recommend it!!!.

This air fryer is just wonderful. It has so many great features, and it somehow cooks more perfectly than any other air fryer I’ve ever used/owned. The food I have made in it so far always comes our perfect and tasting so much better than ever before.

Of course I love that I can control it with my phone, along with the other cool features the app has to offer. Another thing I really love about it is the shake feature. If you tell it to, it will remind you to shake your food halfway through the cooking time, which is probably why everything has come out so perfect so far.

It had a preheat setting which is easy to use. All controls are very straight forward and user-friendly. It also comes with a cookbook with SO many delicious looking recipes I can’t wait to try! The size is perfect; big enough to cook for my whole family but doesn’t take up too much space on my counter.

The pizza pan is a nice little bonus too. Overall, I love this air fryer, and I have been using it multiple times a day since I got it.

I have never air fried before. It is a learning curve on the techniques. After reading the instructions, I ran out to look for a oil spray bottle. I could not find one in stock so I used a regular sprayer from the dollar store.

I used veggie oil. Olive oil has the wrong smoking level. I thought it would be easiest to try frozen fries because they are inexpensive to experiment. After washing and drying the food resevoir, I sprayed the oil and dumped in the fries.

Ran it for a few minutes and the results were so-so. Obviously I needed a little more direction and watched some you tube videos. They were invaluable. Apparently I put in too many fries and didn’t shake the contents.

Avocado was recommended. My second try using the fryer was more successful. The results are not like McDonalds but are acceptable. I am going to try some other foods. The machine is easy to use and clean up.

You should keep it at least 6 inches from the wall to let the air circulate. So far I really like the fryer.

This is the best airfryer! We purchased 3 airfryers in less than a year, but this one is a keeper! We had a smaller one, a different brand, which was okay but we wanted one that was shaped more like a countertop toaster oven.

We gave away our first one, and purchased a stainless steel one that sits on the counter and opens up like a little oven. Terrible idea and we immediately regretted that. We stuck with it because we had been through 2 in a short time, but about 6 months later I surprised my husband with this one for Christmas last year.

We still use it pretty much every day. It does take up a lot of counter space, so I make everyone put it up when they’re done with it. It cooks to perfection. There’s lots of room inside, and I can cook about half a bag of frozen fries at a time.

It’s super easy to clean, most stuff comes out with just a wipe of a paper towel but for the crusty stuff, I just hit it with warm water and a scrub brush and it just slides off. This air fryer is great quality, cooks everything perfectly, and is the best value for your money that you may find.

I have owned for a litte over two months now and use daily in the am for potatoes with my breakfast. Tots and hash browns turn out really, really perfect! I have making some meats, and reheating some food and all turned out really good as well.

Pizza got crispy bottom and foods were fully reheated, unlike with the microwave. I also tried the dehydrator function and as it did work pretty well but it is something that I need to play with a bit more and get the science down of that method.

The one thing that bugs me about this machine is the touch screen buttons are a bit finicky sometimes and need multiple attempts to push to change. It also isn’t terribly, annoyingly loud, compared to another air fryer I have used.

It’s not dead silent but I can run it without it being more than white background noise. All in all, I love this machine and think it works really well and would recommend to someone in the market for a multi-use machine.

I will say the app from them sucks as it doesn’t really give you much air fryer recipes and doesn’t really filter out the results too well. I really wish the machine came with some basic guideline recipes/times for the dehydrator and food but so it goes.

I bought it because I wanted to try air frying foods and I had some gift cards. 1) it’s VERY small. You cannot fit a whole chicken. (Costco bag of 3 whole chickens, not a single one fits) 2) Strong smell of plastic for the first several usages and it really permeates for a long time (days) 3) Buttons are rage inducing and completely non-deterministic.

You can tap it 10x and it might register once or twice. I find that if one button doesn’t want to be ‘pressed’, you can press another one and then go back to the original one. It seems to be caused by bad software, but hardware is possible too.

The most honest way to describe this item would be: Easy bake oven for adults. On the bright side, it warms up VERY quickly (up to 400F) and does a decent job at cooking and reheating certain things like frozen foods, fish filets, etc.

I use it mostly as a toaster oven for hash browns, occasional fries and fish filets. I did a comparison between my deep fryer and this item for fried chicken. Half the batch went in the oil and the other half in the Vortex air fryer.

The chicken in the deep fryer was perfect and delicious whereas the chicken in the air fryer was absolutely NOT crispy, took much longer to cook and the meat was dry. I feel like the marketing behind ‘Air Fryer’ is not based in reality and should be investigated for being misleading.

I really like the vortex plus. Not sure why there is a complaint about it’s overall quality. I have cooked roasts, pork loins and small chickens in half the time of a conventional oven. The reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 5 is because of 4 specific reasons.

1) my biggest annoyance about this model is the obnoxiously loud and high pitched beeping sound (that makes my whole family cover their ears) when turning it on, setting the time and temp, the “ready for food” alert, the “almost done/check food” alert, and the “done” alert.

The fan is also very loud, sounds like a very loud microwave 2) you get 2 trays but can only use one at a time because it does not cook evenly. 3) unlike most other air fryers/ portable cookers, it needs to preheat so you have to put the tray, rotisserie basket or stick on an alternative surface while it preheats; very inconvenient, especially with raw meat.

The temp goes to high for preheat to put the food in first. 4) because it preheats first, getting the rotisserie basket or stick in place can be a challenge since it is so hot.

A huge disappointment from the Instant brand. Let me start off by saying I love their products! I have the regular vortex (my favorite) the Omni & the instant pot duo. I have had no problems with the others but this one? I feel like it was rushed.

The screen to adjust time/temperature and settings you basically have to punch each button for it to recognize it’s being touched. I can look past that. The food does NOT cook evenly when using both trays.

The top tray burns and the bottom tray is undercooked. So even though it is bigger than the regular vortex you can cook more in the vortex at once and not worry about uneven cooking. The biggest flaw? The door.

When it’s open it makes it seem like the whole air fryer is going to fall or the door itself is just going to come off and when you go to shut it get ready for a fight because it almost never shuts straight the first time it shuts very crookedly.

I got air fryers to make my life easier not harder. Fix the screen, put the same door as the Omni and add another heating element to the bottom and it would be great. One thing I will say is it didn’t have a terrible smell at first that a lot of people complain about.

The website of Instant Appliances is flagged as insecure. One page tries to slam you into installing a spell-check add-in to Microsloppy Udge browser, before allowing you to read the user manual claimed to have more than the paper one that comes with the oven.

Try that and you get more bobbles and security warnings. The supplied manual is glib, including how the rotisserie cage goes together. Beware the heating element is just a stove-top hot element in the top of the cavity, unprotected from contact by your hand.

A fan above it blows air down, I do not know how much circulation there is. The user control panel takes the right touch to work well. BTW, I purchased the 10-quart model, in hindsight wished I’d purchased the 6-quart model to take up less counter space.

This is a sizeable appliance. However, it does not have much vertical space.

I have only just started using this Cosori Original Air Fryer but like it a lot so far. It’s very easy to clean, and I got some perforated parchment sheets online that will make it even easier. The first Cosori I bought was digital and did not work properly even though it was brand-new and un-used, in the original box with all the packing and paperwork.

I could not get a refund for it (the seller was not “approved” or some such excuse) so I am saving it for parts — the basket and heating unit are interchangeable with the Original so I will keep it on hand for future emergencies.

These units get great reviews and the Cosori facebook page has a lot of wonderful-sounding recipes, so hopefully my air fryer will last a long time and the extra parts won’t be needed.

We have owned this air fryer for 3 months and I’m amazed how much we use it. The fan is very loud but my husband always knows when I’m ready to try a new recipe. Made chicken kabobs today and they were delicious.

I love the fact that we can take our favorite recipes and change them into a healthy version that requires very little oil. If I ever have to replace it, I will buy the digital version, I think it would be easier to program.

No complaints, love our new appliance.

Had the Cosori 5. 8 qt. with 11 presets and used it for some things. What I didn’t like was having to cook the accompanying items on the stove. Decided to cross my fingers and give this 10qt. a try. Cosori is now on Craigslist and FB Marketplace.

This Ninja is so much better at cooking, no necessary up to 5 minute preheat, much more versatile and a lot easier to clean. Made 6 full length strips bacon in this and it took about 15 minutes on air fry and they came out evenly browned and crisps.

The other day I made a 12oz. 1″ thick boneless ribeye in 1 and some fresh cut fries in 2. Tossed the fries in about 1/2 tbsp. of veg oil and air fried for 13 minutes and the pulled out that drawer, Then I broiled the steak for a total of 14 minutes, turning it twice.

it was done a perfect med/rare. As soon as I pulled it I let it rest and put the fries back in 2 for 2 minutes on air fry and they were done perfectly golden crisp outside and soft and moist inside. Yes I had two drawers and two plates to clear after but surprisingly it was actually quicker and easier to clean them that the much bulkier Cosori basket and drawer.

I’ve also done some other things as well and all worked perfectly. And, no wasted time waiting for the unit to preheat. Just hope that some accessories become available soon so I can expand this Air Fryer’s uses even more.

We had never used an air fryer before, and this one appealed to me because it can also bake, roast, air broil, reheat and dehydrate. It is a perfect size for cooking for two. We’ve had it about a month and probably have used it 14 times.

Everything from steaks, hamburgers, chicken, pork chops and many vegetables plus frozen foods. It took us awhile to figure out timing – it cooks faster than we anticipated. The unit did come with a small user guide and “cookbook”, but I ended up buying a few more air fryer cookbooks online at other sites.

We are very happy with the unit. The only issue: it does get hot, so when we use it we make sure it is at least 6″ away from backsplash or walls, and we unplug it when not in use. It is also somewhat loud – our kitchen/family room is open concept and it can clearly be heard throughout the family room when it is in use.

But, those are minor complaints compared to our overall satisfaction. So happy I decided to purchase it!.

I am still learning how to use this 10 Quart 2 Drawer Air Fryer, but I can tell you that I LOVE IT. Best Air Fryer I’ve ever had and I’ve owned and thrown away a few. It does not heat up my kitchen which is great where I live it’s very hot during this time of year.

It cooks fast, and it infuses flavor into whatever you are cooking. It’s great for frozen snacks but what I’m most impressed with are the dinners. Hamburgers plump up, stay moist and full of flavor. Chicken thighs/drumlettes/wings come out crispy on the outside and moist and full of flavor inside.

Vegetables are better than ever, vegetables that I didn’t really like before are really good now cooked in this Air Fryer. French Fries whether handmade or frozen come out crispy on the outside and soft and tasty on the inside.

I am so happy with this purchase, I use it every day, it makes great meals, saves time, gets dinner on the table faster than using my oven. I LOVE IT.

We have had a couple airfryers, the Tfal Actifry and the Instant Pot; This thing blows those ones out of the water!! I love that we can cook so much at once, and that we can cook multiple things at once.

I really like the dual feature that allows me to toss everything into the unit at once and if one item needs 20 minutes and the other needs 15 minutes, it simply turns on the first one and delays the second by the 5 minutes.

This way, everything always finishes at the same time. This is so handy for me, a busy mom who easily gets distracted; I can just toss it all in, put the settings in and walk away until it chimes at me [and it auto shuts-off and cools down if I’m busy].

We have baked a meatloaf, crisped up sweet potato fries, made bacon. and it’s even allowed us to get rid of our toaster as we can make toast in it! I have already suggested that everyone I know get one of these LOL.

it’s just such a handy unit! It has eliminated the need for numerous cooking devices.

I have a four year old Power XL af and love it. I was watching the TSV presentation, my son came in the room, and started watching with me. He loves to eat and he asked me if I wanted a new one for my birthday, so of course I said YES! The turquoise color got me as it matches my Kitchenaid mixer and retro toaster.

I’ve made chicken, pork chops, fish, assorted vegetables, frozen food, reheated, and everything turned out delicious. Going to roast chicken legs and potatoes tomorrow I rearranged my counter stuff just for this as I use it almost every day.

Much easier to clean than the double basket of the other one. It is worth every penny, and the free s&h didn’t hurt. My old one still works, and my son is going to give it to a friend. I don’t belong to Costco, and the appliance color does matter to me, too.

I have quite a few Ninja kitchen ip pots. I truly love this brand. But, to be honest, I don’t know if I would give this machine a 5 star review if I had paid full price. I bought this dual air fryer on a great sale.

After figuring out how to use it I love the convenience of it. It makes great chicken wings, home fries, stuffed peppers. etc. Plus, don’t be fooled that you will be able to make enough food in one shot for four people.

You really need to leave space between the food cooking and not overcrowd too much. Only thing I don’t like is the air broil only works on the number one bin. And, that is where you would find the 450 degrees.

Its very hard to find that out cause the instructions that come with this machine does not mention that.

After a couple of years thinking about getting an Air Fryer, I finally jumped on the bandwagon. I am hoping to get rid of my microwave once I fully get used to cooking with the air fryer. I didn’t realize that a lot of the frozen foods I buy now have air fryer instructions; but, the one drawback with that is—it could be hit or miss properly cooking your food with those instructions.

I am in the experiment phase of adjusting the time and temp for different kinds of food because even the suggested setting on the PXL are hit or miss for me, especially the seafood setting. I am not a convert yet but as I said before I am still learning how to use it and it has been interesting.

The Power XL is as stated “XL. ” If you typically make one to two servings this would be too big, but if you have a large family or cooking for up to four people then this would be perfect. Also, the PXL is just as loud as a microwave maybe a decibel louder.

It is user friendly and rather easy to operate; my only issue is figuring out the proper time and temp for the different food items because some of the preset time and temps on the PXL have not work for me.

All and all, I am fairly happy with my purchase.

It was awesome the first time we used it. We cooked chicken wings and they were amazing. When we were done, it cleaned up fairly easy and we were really excited to use it again, however there was an awful burnt plastic smell that filled the house.

I chalked it up to burning off the new BUT, when we used it the next night, no power, no fan, absolutely nothing. Plugged it into several different outlets and let it sit for a while to see if it would come on.

Still nothing. After looking it over my wife made notice that the face plate was all digital and since it wasn’t getting power, there’s nothing you could troubleshoot. So you take the good with the bad.

I returned it with no problem. I’m sure we’ll buy another air fryer but we’re definitely gonna research it a little more.

Pros: it does a good job for an inexpensive airfryer, I have been happy with it performance. Con: as for the non-stick surface it stinks, if you do not spray the surface with a non-stick spray clean up is hard.

The small rubber buffer on the elevated tray have started coming off and there are no replacement parts. We purchase it at Christmas 2021 and have used it for 6 months. Fries, tater tots, steaks, reheating chicken nuggets, it does well.

I was very pleased with the hot wings in the airfryer, they turned out great. If you’re not sure an airfryer is what you want, this inexpensive alternative and is a good way to start. It’s not the best but a good starting point.

I have been wanting an air fryer but was waiting to get a good deal, well I scored a GREAT deal this Black Friday. I couldn’t wait to get it home to start using it. My 1st meal was a marinated s salmon filet with French fries.

The food came out PERFECT! The fries were so crispy and tasty and the salmon was so moist and delicious! I was amazed how fast it cooked and all the calories I saved without having to use oil. Oh and cleaning up was a snap! I can’t wait to make dinner tonight.

I hope it lasts longer then some of the reviews I have read.

At roughly a 15″x15″x15″ cube it is not a compact countertop appliance. However, lets be really clear that this thing does in fact do what it is advertised to do. It can hold a full 5lb chicken on a wire rack suspended inside the Air Fryers non-stick square cooking basin.

The bottom portion of the Air Fryer is pulled out using the silver handle. That horizontal line you see on the face of the Air Fryer the top of the cooking drawer the basin sits in. The on drawer slides on two high quality commercial grade stainless steel likely ball bearing tracks (it slides that smoothly) Once the drawer is pulled all the way out.

The wire rack has standing wire hoop handles on left and right that you use to lift and remove your food from the cooking basin from. This is good technique when for example you have a hot whole chicken to remove from the Air Fryer.

Once you lift the wire rack out then the cooking basin which is itself separable from the drawer mechanism can be removed. Keep in mind you are dealing with hot grease so be careful. The cooking basin is lifted out by the sturdy silver handle vertically.

The Basin and Handle combination weigh around a pound or two. It is light. The drawer pull handle has a dovetailed shaped male vertical guide that slides inside its corresponding female dovetail shaped vertical track.

Lifting the handle with cooking basin vertically frees it. Very slick, well designed and sturdy looking. Not sure if it can take a drop to tile floor, but likely it would survive a vinyl or wood floor fall without breaking.

In my view this is a safe well designed mechanism for easily removing and disposing hot grease. Use wise. It is an analogue cooking timer. think old 60 minute kitchen timer. on the face of the Air Fryer that you set for time.

Atop is a similar analogue mechanical dial to set the temperature. So long as your kids and adult friends don’t play a game of twist the knob with the analogue timer. it should operate reliably for years to come.

Cooking wise. Like I said. It is my opinion this is the best air fryer money can buy. Yes it is large table top cooking appliance, but based upon opinions of my son and nephew who each have one, you can cook just about anything it the Philips XXL Air Fryer Nephew: “first thing I air fried was a bag of frozen french fries, They came out really crispy as if they had been fried in a fryer” “same for motz sticks” “I cooked a steak and it came out crispy on all sides and when sliced open was still pink inside.

outside had a nice char to it. crispy like bacon””I love this thing because I live in an efficiency apartment without and oven, and now I can cook just about anything” Son: “I put together home made turkey meatballs for Mom last night and they came out fantastic” “We cooked chicken thighs last night, skin on, and they came out like fried chicken.

Delicious” So there you have it. The Philips XXL Air Fryer is the real deal. Forget those combination toaster oven air fryer units. Get a dedicated unit. Yes it takes up room, but it has this nifty recessed plug in cord storage area, and as a square, fits neatly on any decent sized kitchen car or corner cabinet/shelf.

Months ago a friend telling how nice an Air Fryer can be. in the beginning I was still doubt should I buy one as many can also be done by an oven. Then 3 weeks ago I came across a video clip on YouTube and there this lady bought an Air Fryer and she made a video to show g he pros and cons and sharing her experiences with Air Fryer, after some comparing I decided to buy one and try.

I checked out on Consumerbond and Philips Airfryer Premium XXL HD9650/90 is recommended. Well, after using it for 2 weeks, I really fall in love with it. Easy to use, not much oil needed, healthy and delicious cooking.

Take taken is much shorter than oven and it is really an excellent invest.

I wish I hadn’t bought this. An air fryer is just a glorified convection oven, albeit smaller, so if you’ve already got a convection oven, there’s no point in buying an air fryer. Anyway, my spouse badly wanted one of these to complement a low fat diet, and we were underwhelmed with the results.

The interior is very small and could barely fit a 3 lb chicken in it. The included recipes were nothing special, and the clean up after the honey lemon chicken was a real pain. I can’t see using this much at all.

Not recommended.
