Philips - HD9220/20

I had an airfryer lasted since 2016 and only replaced it this year. Philips Air Fryer with Rapid Air Technology for Healthy Cooking, Baking and Grilling, Plastic, 1425 W, Black, HD9220/20 I’m not sure what you are doing to your air fryers lol

It totally depends upon your lifestyle and cooking preferences. For a household of 4, I use the following daily: * **42L** LG Smart Inverter **Solo Microwave Oven** (purchased 5-6 years ago after discarding old Convection microwave with grill, LG service for this specific model and AMC sucks) - perfect size for heating (up to) large pizzas, fits full sized Corelle 26cm (diameter) Dinner Plate, etc. Benefits of solo microwaves: no rusting of grills, easy to clean. * PHILIPS 4L HD9220/20 **AirFryer** (purchased about 12-13 years ago, still working - no touchscreen/fancy LEDs or PCB) - perfect for upto 4 (big) chicken leg pieces/ 2 chicken leg quarters - 16 min cooking time without any coating. Also used for daily reheating (instead of microwave): fried vegetables, fried fishes, samosa, cutlet, kachori or any fried snack items, etc. Perfect for some starter every dinner - chicken/fries/etc. Once in a week: * Panasonic NB-H3200S 32-Litre **Oven Toaster Grill** (purchased 5 years ago): mainly used for baking cakes, cooking chicken tikka or drying up vegetables for pickling. Sometimes used for fermenting dough in winters. Suggestion: buy a good quality oven (expensive) from BOSCH or similar brands with higher heating capacity and better temperature controls. * Generic **Electric Tandoor** 3000W (purchased 15 years ago in a trade fair) - didn't realize its potential for the next 4-5 years. Now used for cooking perfect dhaba quality tandoori naan, kulcha and pizzas. [Sample image.](https://tandoor-online.com/mini-chef-electric-tandoor-with-heat-proof-stand.html) You can make pizzas in OTGs too but nothing can beat this desi tandoor. The crust comes out perfect everytime and barely take 5 min. Controlling temperature is a nuisance, you just need a little practice & experience before unlocking its full potential. Cooking kebabs is a bit messy because of small opening. Once in 3-4 months: * **Grill Sandwich Maker**\- prefer making sandwiches on a pan over a low heat instead. Makes great Shahi Tukra without the hassle of deep frying - just need sugar syrup/maple syrup/ honey. *General advice: always buy higher wattage devices for faster cooking/ faster pre-heating and better temperature control. example: it takes \~60 sec for a cup of (room temperature) tea to bring it to boil in my microwave at full power. I've seen people heating for about 2-2.5 min for the same on other microwaves.*

I upgraded from my mini phillips air fryer to this recently. The dual basket and setting are handy, but have to say I think its not as fast the the mini phillips (which was probably super fast due to the size tbf)

The smaller Philips for sure! You'll get good deals during festival especially in croma and stuff, so go for it !

If you are going to use it daily for 1 person...go for the smaller one. I have Philips and my brother has Kent. Both are 4 lt capacity. For a function, I used both of them side by side. Found Philips to be better.

No phillips 4 liter cheaper than 27k. Could be a knock off. 2.5 liter is for 23k.
