When I first heard about an 'air fryer' few years ago, I thought it was some contraption for cooking hot chips and didn't give it much thought. I then bought it on my sister's recommendation, as I found out it can cook fish, steak, chicken etc etc.

Just cooked some salmon steak for dinner with a tiny bit of olive oil on it and some salt/pepper/dried herbs and it's so good and convenient I wish I bought it years ago.

I found that it the chips crisped a little but no where as good as simply using the oven. Draw was not big enough to cook an actual chicken unless you cut it up in pieces. Ended up returning the machine as waste of money, going back to using the oven.

My third air fryer because of 9240 faults bought this one. Much smaller. Despite claims.
Wire bottom of basket falls out when emptying chips. Grill pan comes off handle.
If you filled basket to maximum chips would never cook. This is the sixth Philips air fryer I have bought and will be my last.
My other one is still away getting fixed under warranty as Phillips have no spares.
So disappointing as I have loved my Phillips air fryers but they only have a 12-18 month life span. This one is not worth the money at all.

The Air Fryer certainly works as advertised, and quickly cooked the fries, onion rings and banana chips we tested.
There are, however, certain minor negatives to a very good product. The manual that comes with the unit is awful, poorly printed on very cheap paper and the illustrations are difficult to follow. This model lacks many useful accessories that are on the box flap. The ‘cookbook’ that is included, while well-illustrated, is very brief; but there is an excellent app that they refer you to that is available for your phone. This differs from the cookbook on their website. I do wish it was easier to print out recipes from the phone ‘cookbook’.

That's what I thought until I tried it! It's a fantastic little machine. We cooked a store bought crumbed fish with homemade chips and made our own pork katsu (crumbed pork cutlet).

Pro: Small, very easy to clean, FAST, little to no preheating
Con: Serves max 4 people

Simple system of hot air being forced upwards through a basket. Tried various foods in the basket and the air fryer is a healthy option. Plenty of recipes and simple directions on this machine. Easy to use and food tastes good. Does what it says, really good with those frozen chips from the supermarket.

Bought this last year in November and it is a fantastic machine. Not only can you cook non-fatty chips, you can use it to reheat pizza, cook chicko rolls anything that would normally go into the deep fryer. Its easy to use so my teenage boys easily can use it.

It is such an useful appliance. I fry fish, bake vegges,chicken all comes perfect. I don't even need my fry pans anymore.i bought it from Harvey Norman including product care which gives extra warranty for extra 4 years which gives me peace of mind even in case of any wear and tear.

Model HD9621 - So easy to use - Easy to clean - Fast! This model is great for snacks, sides or for small families. Would recommend the larger model if you wish to make whole meals. Not so brilliant at baking things like cakes.
Wish it had come with a larger recipe book. I don't own an iPad and my iPhone screen is too small to read the Recipe App whilst in my kitchen. I also wish the accessories had come with it, instead I had to purchase them separately. I love the rack. It is very useful as is the baking pan I purchased. Have yet to try the Grill pan.

I got my first Airfryer from local myer, and am very happy for this kitchen appliance. I tried the fries what I got from the supermarket without any additional oil. The taste of fries is perfect.
I have considered the digital led control panel model, but I got ahead with this model 9621/11. I believe that switch button will last longer than digital control.
Again, very happy with my choice.
