Why philips built a button one(HD9200), if it hard to pull? While we already in an android n apple youth. Let me guess, Philips will built 1 more that got an interface with the color like interface of android handphone(got colored touchscreen n animation), n that starfish add 1 more legs(become 5), capacity still the same, then it will be name as Philips Premium Pro. Lol 😂 Philip said, premium is not enough, we wants your money! Came back here 3 years later.
*I like that I can "fry" something on a whim! An oil fryer takes so much more time to clean and prepare **MyBest.Kitchen** a chore which usually kept me from frying all together. Also, the lack of needing oil to fry means that my family and I are eating healthier... while still enjoying the crispiness of fried foods.*
I still have the very original Philips first edition which my wife gifted me years ago. It works almost daily. The darn thing won't break down so I can upgrade it. They make a quality product 👌
I totally agree. I bought mine 13 years ago when air fryers were totally new in India and ppl were wary to buy. At that time there was only 1 model which today would be the premium model.
So far this is the best video I've ever watched. There are millions of brands and millions of models of those brands. Even if I can decide the brand, it's still a challenge to decide the model. Before your video, I was clear about the brand but overwhelmed by the models. Thanks to your advice I'll go for the premium model, the one without the smart sensing technology.
Thanks for the comparisons. I have the XXL white version with the starfish turbo, non digital as I have young boys and don’t want them messing around with the digital buttons. The dial feature works best for us. I’ve loved it but it’s still good to know your thoughts! 🙏❤️
The premium XXL is bloody beautiful but the price is going to hurt my wallet. Thank you so much for this video and the in-depth information!!! Now it's up to me to make the decision.
Hi Pin What is better to purchase, in terms of Durability and also Maintenance costs, etc. between: 1. Philips 3000 Series (6.2L) XL Airfryer, HD9270/91 and 2. Philips 5000 Series (7.2L) Connected XXL Airfryer - HD9285/90 Thank you, sir rudi
Hi Pin Re: Philips 3000 Series (6.2L) XL Air fryer Does it Blow warm air like the essential device. or; Suck warm air, like the premium device? Regards Rudi
I just came across this video as just bought a Phillips HD9650/96. Thanks for an in-depth explanation, clear and easy comparison. If I had watched it 1st, I probably would have chosen XL because of the one piece basket. I however find the mesh not so bad cleaning after soaking in hot soapy water, then using brush, nylon;;) BUT thinking the non mesh would put a better semi-char on meat with pre-heating. Phillips states preheating isn't necessary, but I will anyways for that better char.
Great video. I arrived here after seeing a video from Daniel Titchener called “5 Essential Products for Small Spaces”. He said Air Fryers were an amazing alternative to a full-sized oven. I don’t know anyone that has an air fryer and this was a fantastic overview. Thanks so much! (I can’t believe that we live in a world where a whole RU-vid channel can be dedicated to air frying! 😂 ).
According to my experiences with mechanical timer, that analog timer with bell is different with those on washing machine, it doesn't have a position reset mechanism because 0 is tight to bell action, therefore the analog timer knob on the particular unit is not designed to be rotated counter clockwise, it may put excessive force on the pendulum gear that designed to release the spring force slowly, in order to release the spring tension faster than usual, in worst case some of the gear teeth will break if it's made of nylon (which I am not very sure what material Philips use, if the gear made of alloy it should be fine). To extend the usable life of the timer, just shut down the power or simply remove the frying pan and wait timer get back to zero by itself.
@@AirfryDaily I could be wrong, but I have seen some people mentioned it feel pretty hard to reset timer to zero somewhere else. May be it does have reset mechanism, but not function properly. The reasons I like mechanical knob is easy to use and it remember my last setting on temperature, not need to set it every time after switch on. In those old day, things only come with analog knob and it last very long. But things made nowadays have short life, chances are the frying pan worn out before the fryer itself, so digital or analog doesn't really matter as long as it users happy with it.
Good job, very helpful! Now, I know to prefer the golden one. But no one is trying to describe the difference of the taste of the different types of Air Fryers. Hard work, I know. But would be very much interesting.
That was a brilliant tutorial. I live alone,and have been researching different manufacturers. Have decided on the essential XL model.Sufficient for all my needs.Thank you for your clarity
If you're looking for a product to "cook" for you, the tefal actifry 2 in 1 gives you more bang for the buck, imo. It's a different machine though, so make sure you know, what you want.
The analogue version is perfect for me. I really dislike unnecessary extra buttons on kitchenware. I know I will only be using it for fries, heating up pizza and bakingoff bread. Every other program will never be used.
Thank you for taking the time to do the video. I have a 5yr old Phillips premium, model HD9650/99 I love it but it's looking well used and needs replacing. Do you know any other brands that do the runner in the drawer with the pull out basket? Or just the Phillips premium? I fancy something different.
@AirfryDaily Thanks for the insightful review. I wanna buy xl version, but there are so many different model numbers (HD92xx/yy) that i am confused with. For example, HD9270/70, HD9270/90, HD9260/70 and so on and so on. Really can't find out what's the difference between them. Can you please explain what the xx and yy in above example mean? Thanks in advance.
I am impressed with your videos on philips premium airfryers. You can do a lot and may be even replace your convection oven. It probably is too big for one person who lives alone. What would say as the best choice for someone who likes to grill. Thanks.
Oh my gosh thank you thank you so very much I have been researching for days trying to figure out which air fryer to buy and I finally made the decision thanks to your video! I currently have a Cosori that I use at least once a day and I am going to get the XXL but not the gold one. Again, thank you!!
@@lesliefritz9854 maybe they’ve changed it since I’ve done my research but the Cosori basket where I put our food in is made of Teflon. That scared me so I made the switch.
Hi! thanks for all the info, I appreciate it! I bought the 9280, with the wifi connection and app.... but I cannot get the app connected to my air fryer, have you figured this out? Any tips for me?
Amazing overview. Really covered a lot. One question. What is the noise level comparison between the Premium and the Essential XL models? The short run of the Premium seems to suggest it is quite a bit noisier....
I see a very major flaw in most of the airfryers. All of them have metal non stick surfaces inside which can scratch off the teflon after 3-4 months of normal use. Imagine rubbing metal over metal while removing and inserting the attachments.
This was very useful. Can I assume that the power rating that you are giving is for the European (220-230 volt) version? Houses in North America (115 volt) are normally limited to 15 ampere per circuit, which is a maximum 1725 Watt. The Canadian web site for Philips lists the wattage of the XXL at 1725 W, not the 2000+ W that you mention in the video.
You are very right in this. Ive tested here the European model which is the most powerful. This means that cooking times are a bit longer for the American models. Good point!
Great question. The taste will be the same for smaller quantities. But for larger sizes of food the taste will be better in the XXL because baking results are better.
Excellent demonstration, review ! I have Philips Digital L model for a family of 2 persons for 5 | 6 years. It's The Best AF , use this regularly ! We purchased a Ninja Foodi Max 400 Dual AF recently just for roasting meat and whole chicken purposes. Thank you for your great video !
if you have two different items such as roasting vegetables and you want to roast chicken breasts at the same time, together in the premium model (gold) how would you set it so they both cook together evenly? thank you.
Hi Hope, please check my Dutch video on this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LpWccsL7DyY.html Or check this one: facebook.com/watch/?v=397260294938673
the trouble with all these is not many people have large kitchens in the uk so nowhere to store them i have a medium kitchen still no storage for this item
Preheating is not necessary. I do it personally when air frying larger quantities of fries. And when I airfry meat, chicken or fish. I like to sear the meat.
Thank for such a helpful video. Got the essential xl model after watching :) Do you have the HD9950 rack with skewers for the xxl models? Does it fit in the XL version?
Thanks for the video! a question though: what is your opinion on cleaning the upper part of the fryer after a month of usage and if there's a difference about that, when the airfryer basic or XL?
Thanks to your recommendation, I just bought a Philips Premium XXL & I’m really happy with the results . My first recipe was chicken drumsticks, the chicken was moist inside & delicious. 😊
