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.
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.
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.
Yes, Phillips XXL, chicken breast pieces tossed / rubbed with salt, pepper and some random herb from the spice rack - 7 mins 180, chefs kiss
I’ve had a Philips XXL basket air fryer for several years & now The Breville Smart oven Airfryer Pro for a year & we love the versatility of the Breville. It has so many nice features/options. It has large basket/trays to air fry & a roasting pan you can put a couple levels down to catch drippings. We use it every single day. And hardly use the big oven anymore. And I hardly ever have a need to get the Philips out anyone.
Im a Phillips XXL guy, and about 12 years and 5-6 fryers.imto.my journey. Theres no wrong answers, theyre all good.
the Ninja dual drawer top and bottom is awesome and very easy to clean. In fact, we threw out the Phillips XXL because it was so cumbersome and hard to clean in comparison.
