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.*

Any with high wattage, good size for your usage and manual controls. Avoid ones with fancy touch screens and PCBs. This may be an outlier, but my Airfryer (Phillips HD9220/20) has been running almost 5-6 days a week for the last 9.5 years (perfect fit for r/Frugal_Ind). It's basket along with the tray has seen a drop from the height of 1m, the plastic has chipped a little from the corners but it still runs flawlessly. We are waiting for it to die to upgrade to a slightly bigger size. My old and trusted airfryer can accommodate 4-5 chicken legs or 4 big thigh pieces at once. You can stuff more but you won't get good results. Also make sure it is dishwasher friendly. I've been using it in the dishwasher without issues. The design could be improved as a little water gets collected on the bottom of the basket in the dishwasher. NOTE: The quality of Philips products might have changed over the years. DYOR.

Not sure. Never calculated. In terms of durability and repairability, it gets 10/10.

Don't buy fancy microwaves with grill and convection features. If you want to do proper baking, get a good oven. Instead buy a solo microwave (powerful >= 2000W). If you want to heat up your entire plate, buy one which can fit the plate. Same applies for Airfryer, buy powerful machines with higher watts. Size it accordingly to your needs. Standalone oven/convection microwave can never beat an Airfryer when it comes to fries, chicken fry, chicken tikka masala/garlic coated or roasting stuffs. Also get one with basic controls (avoid touch/lcd panel) - high heat will lead to short life of complicated PCBs. I still own a PHILIPS 4L HD9220/20 **AirFryer** (purchased about ~13 years ago) - runs daily. It was one of the 1st air fryers launched in India. Most phillips products nowadays have poor build quality - mostly chinese or shared chinese parts. Philips used to be my go-to brand before 2017 - especially for home appliances.

I have a Philips airfryer from 2014 which we use practically everyday. It's been working well and I have no complaints.

It's the one shown at this link but this model is probably not available anymore. https://www.saffrontrail.com/my-review-of-philips-air-fryer-and-recipe-for-onion-pakoda/

I have the original Phillips $$$ and brought a Crispi $ last year. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how easy the Crispi is to clean. It is dishwasher safe! It gets washed every time the dishwasher runs and it looks brand new. I’ve roasted a whole chicken in mine.

got the philips one, sila ung original na nag pasikat ng air fryer (not the turbo broiler na pamangkin niya in terms of technology) so reliability is one, heat wise mabilis din sya dahil sa rapid air feature niya (ung garbor namin na airfryer dati ang tagal uminit) downside lang ung size hehehe! nakapag roast naman ako ng lechon belly pero need ko syang hiwain para mag kasya sa basket

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)

Don’t get a bigger one if you don’t use it regularly! It’s enough to have 4-5L capacity if your family size is between 3-5 and you don’t it quite often! I would recommend Philips brand as I have used it !

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

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.
