Recently replaced with the Philips HD9880. Also square basket and is larger than my old Philips. Comes with food thermometer though I never use it. Still has the most important feature which is the sliding basket on rails, a lot of their models don't have the rails.

I’ve been using the Philips air fryer max for 4 years now without an issue

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 have the Breville Joule air fryer and it’s great and big enough to handle whatever I want to air fry or roast for that matter. But the air fryer that I used to have is a Phillips and it was just for air frying and I loved that it was an XXL. It was absolutely the best.

I have a Phillips XXL, which is a really good pod style air fryer… I love it. Now on the other hand I also have a Breville in the UK. It’s called a sage toaster oven style air fryer. Mine is the air fryer pro.Joule. I also love this air fryer and I love it even more than the Phillips because it is so versatile and the app helps me set the temperature and it learns my cooking habits. Sage/Breville is a great small appliance company, the quality is amazing… and I find this to be the best type of air fryer for my money. If however, you do not have enough space in your kitchen or enough space in your pantry to keep the air fryer when you’re not using it then go for the pod style.

Ultimate fix IMO is the mesh base and votrex bottom of the Philips Airfryer XXL range of similar. I have 4 airfryers, I know, but its hands down the best. It gets the air perfect. You mention also 1 shake, I would strongly suggest 4 good solid shakes, with the aim to lift the fries at the bottom to the top, so a shake and mini flip at the same time. Apart from that l, always use oil (olive oil works well for me) and time, 160C at say 12 mins, then ramp up to 180C for 8. Don't forget to parboil before hand and dry off using the Airfryer itself for 4 to 5 mins before all the cooking phase.

I have a Philips XXL I bought in 2019 and I love it. Most things I don’t even have to flip over while cooking. The best part is it has analog controls … one dial to set the temp, and one dial to turn it on. I’ve had a few digital air fryers in the past and I found it so annoying fiddling with the controls to do such a basic thing.
