So quick and easy to use and clean. Cooking potatoes into wedges quickly and easily, frozen food and roasts. All no mess and so easy. Eliminates use of oil and is one of the best purchases I’ve made, we use it constantly.

Purchased in April 2021 at The Good Guys for $399.00.

One of my best buys

published

I use my airfryer at least 4/5 times a week as I hate cooking in oil. We usually cook our crumbed chicken, roast potatoes or chips, roasted cauliflower or practically anything that is oven baked. It cooks very thoroughly and it doesn't heat up my house like my oven does. Cleaning is easy as each section pulls out and can be washed in hot soapy water.

Purchased in February 2021 at Betta Home Living for $290.00.

We bought this item because our friend recommendation. We used it three times and the airfryer wont work at all not even the digital display. So we returned it to JB Hifi where we bought it from and apparently its been couple people come back with it. Very disappointed! As we had big expectations with this product and shame that we cant get the different one because that was the only one left in store ( this is happened after Christmas-Boxing Day- New Year sale)

Love,love,love this machine!!

published

I wish someone had told me about this product years ago. To be truthful I hesitated a little when I saw the price but I was convinced by my sister to purchase it and it’s so worth it. Our family just loves it. Frozen products such as chips, spring rolls, fish, and hash browns come out so crispy and crunchy on the outside and delicious on the inside. Not in the least greasy.
Takes less time to cook than heating up my large oven, as no preheating required. A real bonus when wanting a quick hot snack.
I’m looking forward to making some of the recipes such as fruit crumble and brownie slice.
So far cleaning has been very easy too.

Purchased in October 2021 at eBay for $287.00.

Loveeee the advanced functionalities and smart tech cooking. I loved my old Phillips air fryer but this just takes it to the next level! The large size is also perfect when you’re cooking dinner for multiple people, plenty of room to make food for everyone

Cannot Fault - Works Like A Charm

published

I wish I'd bought this years ago, because frozen chips and chicken pieces come out much better air fried than cooked in an oven.

The airfryer gets the outside crispy all over and tender in the middle, whereas oven cooking makes it soft and greasy on the bottom - you have to take the food out half way and turn it over.

I've done frozen pies, frozen chips, chicken, sausages, steak, spring rolls, hash browns, even fresh chicken breast.

No need to preheat. Oil just drips onto the bottom for removal. Takes half the time of oven cooking, easy to clean and quiet, switches itself off.

We use this every single day! Love it

published

The food we cook in our airfare is amazing. Perfectly cooked every time and the best thing is, you put the food on, press a few buttons and don’t need to do anything else! No more turning sausages, fish or steak to make sure it’s all cooked properly. This has been a life saver on a busy work day when I’m rushing around trying to do 4738202 at once.

Easy to clean, it all goes in the dishwasher!

Revolutionise the way you cook

published

The Philips Airfryer has quickly become my favorite kitchen appliance, it does everything. I can grill, roast, fry and bake. I cook chicken, pork, lamb, vegetables and even baked donuts. It saves me time, no preheating required, food cooks quicker and best of all I don’t need to add any oil to my meals. I have owned/used my airfryer for 6 months and have recommended it to my friends and family.

My poor oven... I haven't used it since I got the airfryer! I am completely converted and have loved experimenting with new meals and recipes since receiving it! Not only that it cuts my cooking time down and is done in no time! Meats are so succulent! I can also pop the trays in the dishwasher! Thanks for creating such a great product that makes mumlife easier!

This is perfect! Why didn’t I bought one sooner!

The Philips Airfryer is so easy to use and to clean. Big hits for us are the crispy on the outside, tender on the inside results we got from the airfryer, did not disappoint at all! Cooking time and temperature is easy to adjust with the screen, size is perfect for a couple cooking for two everyday. Definitely recommend!

Loving my new Philips air fryer, it does everything it promises, from making super crispy crackling to removing fat from meat to heating up within seconds! Super versatile too, have made much more beyond "fried food" in this machine

I absolutely loved how easy and convenient the airfryer is.
I like how it pre heats quickly and turns itself off when it is finished cooking, so as a mum it means I can walk away and not worry about burning dinner.

This AirFryer heats up instantly and cooks each food to perfection! I’ve used it to cook mini pizzas, chips, vegetables, roast pork, dim sum and muffins! I don’t know how I lived without it! It keeps the food crisp on the outside and moist on the inside!

The airfryer is light-weight yet has great technology that helps with fast and healthy cooking

published

Using less or no oil, this appliance shines through delivering tender meat, crunchy coatings and moist brownies! Comes in a couple of sizes so consider what one you need depending on how many you’re cooking for. I would’ve liked it slightly larger to do larger portions. I’ve made dinners and desserts and they turn out great! So easy to clean as inserts are dishwasher safe.

Love it! New kitchen favourite!

published

The airfryer is fast, convenient and oh so easy to use. It’s quicker than an oven and it’s so versatile with everything I’ve cooked in it so far. I tried using the elevated rack and noticed that things on the bottom didn’t brown as well, but I just rotated the food around and it was fine. I love it.

Love it! It's so good!

I cook almost any thing in here. It's so easy to use. It's compact and doesn't take up much room. It's easy to clean. I've cooked vegetables, chicken, fish and chips and I keep experimenting with new things every day. I love that hardly any oil is used so it's healthy and low in sodium. My whole family love the meals this makes. I highly recommend. I just wish it was a bit bigger because I make large portions of food.

Premium Compact Digital HD9742/93

I have just purchased a Philips Avance HD9742/93 and upon unpacking, I noticed that the "splatter proof lid" was missing (indicated as included on documentation). I initially contacted Myer online (where I had purchased the item) and was advised that I would need to return the entire product in its original packaging and they would send out another, or I could contact Philips Customer Care, which I did. That contact was made ten days ago and only today, after calling Customer Care (located in the Philippines) again, I was provided with a tracking number and an projected arrival date of five days from now (note the shipment is simply Melbourne/Thomastown to Brisbane). Throughout the process of trying to get the missing part, it has become increasing evident that aside from their health care arm, the only true Philips presence in Australia is their product line distributed by third parties such as Myer, DJs, Good Guys, etc. This has been further frustrated by the fact that both part/accessory numbers, if the parts/accessories are actually available in the Australian market, are inconsistent with the publications put out by Philips itself. I fully understand the transition to a more global market is and will continue to grow but I am also concerned that this has allowed the providers of products and services such as Philips to compromise the level of customer support they attach to their brand. Unfortunately, this is not a new experience with Philips as I also own one of their oxygen concentrators and the experience of after sales support has been no different.

So, here is my question:

At what point does one give up on a particular product brand when availability, timeliness and accuracy of information are compromised by the established business model?

3 months ago purchased the Phillips XL and more recently the Phillips XXL. I wasn't aware of an " splatter proof lid" for either of these models of air fryers. I am currently (as of 23/8/2019) in contact with Phillips regarding access to a cash back offer on the newly purchased XXL. I have set up the Phillips account as required to access my cash back, but the email verification for my Phillips account in order to access the cashback isn't working. I am receiving feedback from Phillips regarding my problem, but having been re routed a few times to the promotions team and their IT team and back again, and, after over a fortnight of trying I am giving them another 48 hours before contacting consumer affairs in my state. Other than the issues with the cash back I am very happy with both the XL and the XXL. Between purchasing my XL and the XXL, I purchased two Aldi units, both of which failed at first use, and a Smith and Nobel, which has since failed as the handle doesn't lock in, after a month of use. The Phillips Air fryer is a far superior product, to any other air fryer on the market, but I am becoming concerned that their after sales service is lacking. Contact isn't easy and you get re routed, and fobbed off. What a shame as the air fryer is a great product.
