I admit I purchased the Philips Turbostar last year but only started using it regularly in the last 6 months. I had used it a few times to cook chips but wasn't really sure what else I could use it for.
The machine came with no instructions and no recipe book. Recently I joined a few facebook groups and I recommend anyone wanting to purchase an airfryer do this also. There are so many tips and recipes on these pages - it really gives you the confidence to try many different things.

I purchased this product from Good Guys eBay store and it ca...Read more

I use this mainly for making chips and spring rolls. I owned a tefal air fryer previously and both have their pros and cons. I liked how the tefal stirred the chips whereas as the Phillips one you have to shake the tray half way through.

Having said that I prefer the temperature control you have with the Philips, something that was missing with the tefal. It is also quicker in cooking food than the tefal and a more compact design.

Overall I prefer the Philips as it could be used to cook many different things. It makes good chips and spring r...Read more

I only have myself to look after, and have found the air-fryer one of my best buys.

It is excellent for what I cook or heat, as it is:
so much faster to cook with than a conventional oven,
low cost to use,
does not heat the house like an oven does,
and easy to clean.
I use it several times a week in the cooler months.

It has the added benefit of healthy cooking, and its size is sufficient for one person....Read more

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

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

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

This appliance has been a godsend with an allergy child. I had previously thought air fryers were an appliance that were just for those looking for a healthier alternative to deep frying but this is so much more. Most foods cook substantially quicker than a traditional oven so it makes for low fuss cooking

Pros
It cooks quickly
Preheating is often unnecessary
It’s not overly loud
Food quality is superb
Saves time with most recipes over and above pre heating of a traditional oven

Cons...Read more
