Great product
It's fast, doesn't heat up your kitchen and does a really good job of crisping food. It's better for foods naturally high in fat like chicken legs. It is large, so be aware of that.
Purchased in May 2021 at The Good Guys for $500.00.

This is a multi cooker.
We love this product as it saves us lots of time with cooking. It is easy to clean and it does multiple things like frying, heating, grilling. I can even fry peanuts and it turned out to be crunchy, and quick. Just bought another one for my mum. I would recommend this product to everyone.

Best cooking ware I have ever bought
This has to be the best kitchen appliance I have ever bought. It is very convenient and easy to use. It saves me from using my large oven wasting power and time to heat up as this machine heats up in a blink. Highly recommended to all

Love this machine
You can use this good quality piece of kitchen equipment to cook almost anything you would in an oven.
Hot chips (home made or shop bought) come out perfectly. Reheating different food such as pastries to chicken wings or even roast meats from raw.
So versatile we use it daily!
Uses little power and I can reheat small amounts of things without turning on our huge oven.

Very convenient, but failure prone
I use this air fryer a lot - it's very convenient for thinks like frozen chips, schnitzels and roast vegetables, etc.
Unfortunately I have experienced several design faults that have left me wondering whether I made the right choice. I had to send it back once when the interface died, and the new unit rattles and shakes like crazy (there is clearly something wrong with the fan) with an interlock that doesn't seem to work either.
Without these issues it would be a much better product.

Simply Amazing
This Philips AirFryer is simply an amazing piece of technology. It is super efficient in cooking food and results in food being crispy without the need of oil. Would absolutely recommend for anyone looking for a healthier way to cook. It cooked 50 mini Dim Sims in 20 miniutes with not one undercooked or still frozen. This product is super easy to clean and can be used from baking to grilling to frying.

The best thing I have brought we cook everything in it. Dont cook something that has a lot of fat on it. As the fat spits up on the heating element and starts to smoke.

be nice to check out our own recipes: https://bit.ly/34sPMhS. Regarding the smoke; indeed with products containing more fat this might happen. This is not to say that it's impossible to prepare food with a higher fat content. In that case we would recommend to take the basket out mid-cooking after pausing the cooking process, and carefully blotting away some of the oil that has gathered on the bottom of the basket with kitchen towels. After which you could resume the cooking process again.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Game Changer Kitchen Appliance
I was on the fence if I should buy this or not as I don't eat a lot of 'fried' food. However after reading the great recipes online which include the fried food but lots of other recipes then I bought one. The HD9651 I purchased is impressive as it doesn't need to be heated up like my main oven saving a lot on electricity costs. Plus for things like oven chips it cooks them 2/3rds quicker and turn out better. Roasted veggies are another great thing again much quicker than my oven. Fish, Steaks, Chicken are all possible. Downsides are alt...Read more
hough cleaning is easy there is a lot of bits to fit in your dishwasher although a quick rinse under the tap works well. Plus time will tell if the non-stick coatings last over time. A++++ game changer product for me which saves me a lot of time for after-work-mid-week cooking.Purchased in October 2021 at Harvey Norman for $450.00.

Good, but not sure the price tag worth it
I started with a smaller Phillips air fryer and always liked it, so decided to upgrade to the XXL model during a sale. I got no complaint about its speed of "frying" and cooking. Foods like chips, nuggets, fish fillets, chicken wings are cooked well & evenly, just not sure it's a lot better than my $100+ except can fit in more at a time. I didn't quite like the "oil reduction" tray inside, not sure it made a real difference to my food. To me, just one extra thing to wash. Still unsure whether it's ok to put in the dishwasher, as it looks like the inside is coated with a nonstick coating (don't quote me)? Still worthy appliance, just buy it on sale, not worth it at RRP.

Love it! Went from no cooking skills to making meals for the family! So amazing
We bought one after using my parents. WOW! How is it this simple to make everything from chips to steak to chicken breast all with the push of a few buttons? We never fried food in the hoise before. Just too much work but now frozen chips go from bag to tray. 180 degrees and 10 mins later we have perfectly chrisp chips. So many recipes and so hard to screw up.
I have bought a lot of appliances to "help" me cook over the years from a slow cooker to a Regal Cook4Me but this is completely fool proof.
Highly recommend it and great for busy families.
Plus I wash everything in the dishwasher. Brilliant!

My new favourite appliance!
The Philips XXL AirFryer is my new favourite appliance! It’s taken over the tasks that my oven and deep fryer would normally get given.
Cook time is ridiculously fast and I love that there is no preheat time. The machine itself is large enough to cook a whole chicken! I’ve noticed food is a lot less oilier when we cook in the AirFryer.
The instructions are easy to understand and straight forward. My husband is dying to get his hands on it to give it a whirl.
Everyone goes to bed with a full belly after I make dinner in the AirFryer! Oh and it’s super easy to clean!

Purchased this a couple of days ago and thought I'd start off with something easy. So followed instructions on how to do the homemade fries. Well after an hour of trying and retrying it's just not happening.
Airfryer will not heat up. Very disappointed will be returning this airfryer tomorrow.

Really, every kitchen needs an Air Fryer
Have previously owned a Philips Air Fryer ...one of the original with the simple “clockwork” timer. Whilst it has worked well, the opportunity presented itself to update to the new XXL model with newer features and a larger capacity...at an end of financial year price.
If you have never owned one of these air fryers, it will be difficult to underscore the degree of simplicity and versatility they can bring to your kitchen. We often use it instead of our wall based ovens because of this and the consistency of cooking it brings.

One of the best appliances you can have in your kitchen
I had the old ones. But needed a bigger one. I do love these things. I make a bbq chicken in it every week. Takes 60 mins. I cut it up and make wraps for boys school lunches. The kids can also just put things in it when they get hungry. Party pies, spring rolls, fish etc... get it it’s worth it. I couldn’t live without this. One of best things Phillips has ever made. I can’t fault it.

Favourite Kitchen Appliance
I wish I got on to this earlier - what a huge time save and another means of cooking healthy meals. We've cooked all sorts of delicious meals in ours (stuffed capsicums, fish cakes, roast chicken, pork, vegetables, bread, scotch fillet, seafood - list goes on), yet to make chips! Results are always consistent and perfectly cooked, locked full of flavour and juicy. Cleaning is easy - removable parts straight into the dishwasher. Only part a little hard to clean is the top element. I cant rave enough about this air fryer. Will be purchasing accessories to try baking recipes

Forget the cheaper brands.
I originally purchased a Phillips XL Air fryer and loved it but found it a little small. When Aldi launched their Ambiano brand airfryers, I bought two and both failed at their first use. I had one refunded and one replaced. The Aldi replaced one is temperamental and overheats and cuts out on a regular basis. I then purchased a Smith and Noble 10 litre and within weeks the catch holding the basket in failed, making it very dangerous. I then purchased the Phillips XXL and I cant understand why I bothered with trying such inferior products to the...Read more
XXL, just because they were cheaper. The drawer mechanism on the Phillips is far superior to other brands, the heating is much more even and cooking is much quicker. The new model XXL has the bottom of the basket as a removeable mesh grid which makes cleaning very easy. I purchased the extra grill plate for the bottom and I am very glad I did. Its a brilliant machine, with no nonsense hassles, and very good quality. You truly do get what you pay for.Purchased in August 2021 at The Good Guys Physical store for $399.00.

Indispensable kitchen workhorse!
I first purchased the smaller sized Philips XL Airfryer, but found it too small for meals for 2 adults, and the occasional additional person. However the concept was so brilliant that after one month I sold the XL and purchased the larger XXL size. The Airfryer does all “brown” cooking, i.e. baking, dry-frying, grilling. It sits on my bench-top and we use it at least once every day. It bakes fish for two people in 10 minutes to perfection. No oil needed, the fish cooks in its natural oil - seared on the outside and moist on the inside. Same fo...Read more
r steak. Even whole roasts a small whole chicken with veggies. Just set the timer and leave the Airfryer to do its magic. We’ve been using it every day for 15 months, sometimes multiple times per day – great for students to quickly cook packaged snacks like oven bake fish, pies, sausage rolls – in 10 minutes rather than 20-30 minutes in conventional oven. There is no preheating. Just put the food in and set the temperature and time - although most foods cook on the maximum 200 degrees setting. Uses much less power than a conventional oven. For best potato chips, soak the potatoes in water first to wash off surface starch before airfrying in a tsp of oil, salt, rosemary. I recommend watching the videos that are on Youtube. The only negative I’ve found is that the design of the Airfryer makes it difficult to clean fat-splatter from the roof of the Airfryer behind the element where I can’t get a steel pad through all the way. (The drawer parts can go in the dishwasher). Stale fat smells when re-heated – so it really is necessary to clean the fat from behind the element, even semi-frequently. I haven’t checked out other brands but if the element is at the top in other airfryers, then the cleaning problem will be the same as for the Philips Airfryer. If a better design hits the market that is easier to clean I will swap over. Apart from the fat collection being difficult to clean, the Philips XXL Airfryer is the most useful appliance in our kitchen next to the water kettle. It’s a workhorse and is indispensable! I bought my Airfryer when Philips were offering $50 Mother's Day cashback promo. I later bought another one for a wedding gift. NB: I also purchased the Aldi Airfryer because it looked easier to clean than my Philips Airfryer, but returned it for refund after a week because it was too noisy and also the cooking drawer didn’t slide smoothly and frequently was fiddly to close properly. It doesn’t have sliding tracks like the Philips Airfryer does. The Aldi Airfryer is much cheaper and is inferior in quality to the Philips Airfryer.Purchased in May 2021.

I’m now an air fryer convert
Our new home in rural WA had a really basic oven, so I got an air fryer after seeing my Mum using her small one for simple meals like fish and chips, when I visited her. It has far exceeded my expectations as I use it for more and more meals. For example, I cooked a fairly complicated fish pie dish in the baking dish insert for guests and everyone found it delicious - the fish cooked perfectly in the tomato based sauce and the filo pastry on top browned to perfection. Just the other day I put some leftover soup in the same cooking dish to rehea...Read more
t and added some mashed potato and Kumera, sprinkled a little grated cheese and 12 mins later, there was the most deliciously browned mash I’ve ever seen. My husband and I think the roast veggies turn out even better than when I did them in my Smeg oven in another home. I could go on....but I will conclude my highly recommending this cooker for the quality of meals it produces and for the ease with which you can clean it - my husband does the dishes and he loves how the basket sections split out easily for separate washing. Get it!Purchased at eBay.
