Great for young Kids

published

So my son is going through 'a phase'...well i hope its a phase....he's 2 and happy to eat and sleep uninterrupted during what i call his 'growing week', but every other week, it's hard to find anything he will throw down his gob beyond chips and fish bites. So i went to Myer and picked up one of these blokes. It's easy to use, the kid gets his chips without all the oil, and works so well with spring rolls. Still experimenting, but ye it's a good product...TBH, its going to change your world, but it's cool.

thank you for the reply, I do clean the element with a soft cloth when it is warm but my problem is the fan underneath the element & the surrounding parts I can not get to clean, may I send you a picture please.

Great kitchen appliance. Quick and easy and so much less washing up!

published

All foods turn out great. The only thing I can't do is fry eggs.
Cleaning is easy, as it's dishwasher safe. Storage is no problem: it sits on the kitchen bench where the greasy old deep fryer used to sit. That's another advantage - no more cleaning fat off the walls.
I should have bought on years ago.

Fabulous

published

This is my second phillips air fryer, I first had the original Viva which is still working I might add. This updated version has the non stick basket and is very easy to clean. I purchased this in the black which looks great on the kitchen bench. This product is fantastic for all types of “fried” food without all the calories associated with deep frying. I use this almost every day, home cooked chips roast potatoes etc etc. great product that I couldn’t live without!

Best Appliance Ever!!!!!!

published

My sons bought this for me for Christmas. I cannot believe how amazing it cooks. So healthy and yet the taste of the food is incredible. I love it. I cook almost everything I can in it. Would recommend this to anyone. My grandchildren love the homemade chips I make for them. I am happy because they are eating healthy this way. So quick and easy to clean. How much better can you get? Do yourself a favour if you don't have one yet go out and buy one!!!

I love my Airfryer

published

I purchased my Philips Airfryer about 8 months ago & absolutely love it. I hardly use my oven anymore & found my electricity went down a bit too. I’ve cooked chicken, lamb, salmon, chips, pudding...The meat cooked in it is always crispy on the outside & so juicy on the inside. It’s also very easy to clean. I’ve found heaps of recipes online & there’s a philips Airfryer ap that’s quite good also. Would highly recommend it.

Bad smoking

published

Yes but filters No good every time I use your fan machine it smokes that bad it sets off my smoke alarm so I can only use under oven fan. And yes I do not put any extra oil we only place food in! So yes why should I buy your new extra big one when I can not get a reply from you about this matter! And yes I have tried before and got nothing from you!

Glad that I chose Philips

published

After researching air-fryers extensively I had narrowed my search down to 2-3 brands/models. After physically viewing all in stores it became clear to me it could be easy to pay $300+ for a fryer which performs as well (if not worse than) cheaper models. I decided to choose the mid-range Philips Viva collection and... so far, so good!
I particularly like the build quality and light weight as it is easy to transport from tabletop to cupboard etc. I also like the simplified cooking function of the unit; very easy to use. Top tip: frozen foods cook best! (I imagine that this is the case with most/all air-fryers).

Excellent!

published

Great machine, we cook almost anything in this little beauty, every single day this gets used, often several times a day. Originally had Philips XL machine ( replaced twice under warranty) but digital control stopped working, on both, so still under warranty decided to get this instead of XL. It is smaller but having a dial control is better then digital, in my opinion. We really don't use the stove top anymore, as this can do so much. This does so much more than hot chips! I also purchased the airfryer baking dish by Philips & use it every day as well.

Not bad

published

wonderful machine! fats will drip down and collect at the bottom of the air fryer. Food cooks evenly but needs a bit of shaking throughout. Try to air fry broccoli, spinach at 180C for 5 minutes for 5 minutes and you will be amazed by how it taste.

Quite a hard work to clean the air fryer grill after you've cooked meat on it though.

Wish I bought this sooner!

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.

Phillip turbo star-oven cook tastes better

published

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.

Avoid this air fryer

published

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.

Hi, my son cooked fatty steak in the fryer and the fats burned and stuck on the basket. My kids used harsh sponge to clean it and removed the black coating. Where can I replace the frying basket.

Hi. Can I use a little olive oil, or other true oils, in place of spray. I’m cautious about spray oils. Cheers

1 answer
Philips
Philips S.Philips

Hi there, thanks for asking this. It is possible to use any kind of oil which is suitable for grilling, baking, roasting or frying. However, we do recommend to be aware of cold-pressed oil, because this is not suitable. This type of oil can burn at high temperatures.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to us on one our social media channels (Facebook and/or Twitter @PhilipsCare) or by phone (AU 1300 363 391, NZ 0800 658 224).
