Used them a lot more than expected.

published

After purchasing this I thought they would be another appliance that will take up space and be under utilized. Fortunately, I have used them more than my toaster or my Microwave. They are great for making chips, fried fish, pies, pizza, spring rolls, pastry etc. I also use them for heating up most of my food. They use very little oil but the food still comes out crispy. Only complaint is that the grill is hard to wash. However future models improved on this. I need to buy another for my in laws.

Great little device

published

I was skeptical at first about the concept of air fryers, i have an oven and a deep fryer, so i wasnt sure it was going to provide me with much more than another option. However, they save time, electricity and cleaning up in a big way. They are far more economical than warming up an oven and much easier to clean than either an oven or a deep fryer...plus no dangerous hot oil or build ups to clean up.

Good for party

published

Very satisfied with the airfryer, easy to cook delicious food with simple recipes.
No matter vegetables or meat, could be roasted or grilled in an air fryer.
But not really easy for cleaning, but recommend to dim into the water for a short while before cleaning.
Besides, recipes could be found through google.

It’s not great, but okay

published

I bought it for a cheap price. Didn’t expect it to be perfect. It wasn’t perfect. However I think it’s worth it. There’s no need for me to cook heavily and waste much time on cooking. It made my life much easier and the food was not bad. I’ll buy again.

Fried my chicken perfectly, easy to maintain and store. I have told my friends about it and two of them bought it and fried their chicken perfectly too. I am going to try frying some more food soon! The only thing I don't like about it is that it's pretty small.

Great and easy

published

This airfryer is easy to use. I have only cooked potatoes and chicken wings so far. But it's so easy and simple to use. The taste is just like oil fried chips but you know it's healthier for you. What a winner I say. I threw my oil fryer out as soon as I got this.

I’m glad I bought this air fryer! It’s one of the most used appliance in our kitchen, makes food healthier specially I use this mostly for kids, it doesn’t need any oil plus makes it crispier! Very easy to use! Love it! Only downside is it’s hard to clean specially the basket. Other than that, happy with this item.

Very satisfied with this product. I use it on a daily basis whether it is making lunch or making a quick snack. The fryer can cook almost anything and does it really well. It also comes with a recipe book which is really useful when I run out of ideas. Would recommend.

Good product but difficult to clean

I bought it over a year, it’s still work well. It help reduce the oil compare to deep fry, but some recipes are not as goog as fry like chip.. I also bought sauce pan toghether, but it’s take longer time to cook.
The only problem is difficult to clea.

Outstanding product

We have had this product for a while and we have no complaints. I even bought a larger version for my son as part of his engagement present. Much cheaper than firing up the conventional oven. It's so versatile. Reheating or cooking from scratch. Can go in dishwasher too. A must have.

Healthier choice to enjoy tasty food

published

We bought this on a discounted price from The Good Guys when we moved to our new home. We have been using a deep fryer in the past and wanted to change to a healthier choice. This is simply amazing that we can now enjoy the same good tasting food with probably 5% of the cooking oil we used to fry the food with. The only down side is that the inner net is extremely hard to wash when there are food residual left there. Apart from that, it is generally a good kitchen appliance to have!

We have since then told our family members about this so they can also switched to an Airfryer instead of the traditional deep fryer to live healthier!

I should of purchased one sooner!

I have owned my air fryer for a month now and really love it. It makes cooking so much easier and of course so much healthier. The recipe booklet that came with it is very helpful, but I Google anything Im not sure about cooking. It looks very attractive sitting on my kitchen bench top and is so easy to keep clean. Thank you Phillips for a top quality product.

Love my airfryer.

published

So easy to use, I am a terrible cook but I cook everything in my airfryer, it's quick no fuss cooking, and cooks really well too. It can be a little hard to clean so I suggest cleaning it every time you use it, sometimes I am a little lazy and have left it... don't do that. :)

The basket came undone and I burnt my hand as I went to catch bottom unit.

published

Only had my unit for 3-4 mths and everything, especially carrot are tasting tinny. I do chips, pumpkin, sweet potato and potatoe and use my machine at least 3 times a week. I use spray olive oil and wash it afterwards it's cooled down in hot soapy water with a scrubber non scratch brush.

Excellent product

published

I have heard about this but it is unbelievable results. Chips, sausages, fish cakes, hamburgers come out like they have been deep fried. Something everyone should have. I use it almost everyday since I bought it. I always like to have chips but never could have due to the need of deep frying. Recommend this product.

Very happy n pleased with the product, except that i just can't find the Grillpan to go with it . Would appreciate advise how to get that part and from where. Have the 'XL' model, too--- most PLEASED with that, esp. when cooking for the 'family!', otherwise will use the smaller one if just for me alone.

Viva Collection Air Fryer HD9220/50

After using a friends XL model I wanted one. On visiting my in laws they had upgraded to the XL and gave us their old one, 9220/50 model.
I have noticed it can't cook chips the same as the XL.
I have been cooking them at 200 for 16mins, giving them a shake in between however every time they just all stick together.
Does the machine just stop working as effectively after a while? Has anyone else noticed this?
I still want the XL and so far the husband is not convinced the machine is a winner.
Can someone please shed some light on why my chips won't cook properly?

I'd just cook them a little longer. Could be the water content in the potatoes, or who knows what else? I do mine about twenty minutes. Open the drawer and shake a couple of times more as well. That let's out some of the moisture content that's built up within the drawer and basket that prevents things from browning as well.

That's really strange - I've never had anything stick together in my airfryer except homemade unsoaked potato crisps when I've just dumped all the slices in and haven't shake the basket enough times. Are these homemade chips or frozen chips? If they are homemade chips, 200 deg C is too high. The Philips Airfryer cookbook recommends soaking the cut chips in water for 30 minutes, then draining, drying, coating in a little oil, and cooking at 180 deg C.
If it's frozen chips, then 200 deg C sounds okay. Are you cooking them from frozen and giving the basket a shake a couple of times during cooking?

I just cut up and dry the Potatoes & Pumpkin with a towel, place them in a wide shallow dish and add a little Olive Oil not much, as it seems to cover over the potatoes easily using my hands, I use Roast Vegetable Sprinkle, then put them is the Air fryer then cook for about 15 minutes, or more turning them over at half time using 2 desert spoons ..I just clean out the base later with a paper towel. & brush clean the strainer. Left overs wrapped in Puff pastry is so quick to cook . A Tomato cut in half, heated in the microwave for less than a minute goes well with the chips .

Viva Collection Air Fryer HD9220/50

Hi, I posted this question last week but have not yet got a final reply. Could you please advise if the Grill Pan Accessory for Viva Collection Airfryer, part number 882991020010 will fit the HD9220/ 50 model. It says on your website it is specifically compatible with the HD9220/ 20 (black) model, but does not mention other HD9220 models. As it does not appear to be available anywhere in store, I would need to order it directly from Phillips and have it posted out, and would therefore like to know if it fits before ordering. It seems likely that it would, if the digits after the slash refer only to colour, but would like confirmation before ordering ( i.e. get someone at Phillips to try it in a HD9220/ 50 model (white) for me and confirm it fits!). Oherwise I will have to pay 2 lots of postage if I order it, it doesn't fit and has to be returned.

Hi Cate, thanks for your question and sorry for our late response. We wanted to double check and provide your with the correct information. The grill pan will fit your Air Fryer but please know that the handle is black.
