HD9270 Essential Digital Air Fryer XL

I have the Philips XL one, its slower than my sisters Ninja one, but it cooks the food more evenly.

Do you miss the height at all? Not that I usually cook a whole chicken in an air fryer since I like my large oven method very much. But I keep thinking “What if I want to?” I like the Typhur products a lot and the Dome seems so tempting. Currently I have a Philips XL and XXL after trying lots of cheaper ones and disliking them.

I honestly really do like my air fryer. It’s WAY faster than the oven and consumes less. I also somehow find it easier to clean it. I used it a lot for my meal prep as I do so much roasted veggies for pasta sauces, soups, rice dishes. I have a basic Philips XL (a big one, for a LOT of veggies) but no extra settings, they are not really needed. I also use it for toasties, reheating bread products or do fast egg dishes. I would go for a basic airfryer that’s a XL/XXL. You don’t need fancy programmes (they all do one thing: fan oven). You can also cook casseroles and lasagne in it

Honestly I have a glass circular air fryer that was less than $100 and it’s better than the Philips xl one I paid like $600 for, much easier to keep clean although a little trickier to open if you have limited space as it’s top loaded

First of all, stay far away from 2QT. That is way too small. Also, there are some decent cheap brands like Gourmia and Chefman. I actually got a nice Philips 6.6QT pretty cheap ($90 CAD/$65 USD) and I love it. Got my mother an 8QT Chefman for the same price.

5ish minimum. I use mine for just me and I wouldn't want much smaller than my 6.6. A light eater might be ok with like 4QT but I guarantee you will soon wish you had something bigger. Better too big than too small.
