Philips Premium Airfryer XXL HD9870Positive

KitchenRecs · Anja K. · 10 days ago

We are four at home and this replaced a small Tefal that needed three rounds for one dinner. A big bag of frozen fries fits in one go and they come out crisp and even, the fries program is spot on. Chicken thighs I set by hand at 180 degrees and they are done sooner than in the oven, so I check early. What I don't love: it is loud. You hear the fan from the next room, and the end beep is so quiet that I miss it when I'm not in the kitchen. The fat separator under the mesh catches a lot of grease, nice idea, but after wings scrubbing it is the job nobody wants. Dishwasher works for the parts but they take up half the rack. It's also heavy and deep, and the cord is short so it has to live right by the socket. Five months in, used almost every day. Good machine, just not a quiet or tidy one.

Ninja Crispi Pro AS101Positive

KitchenRecs · Leanne · 10 days ago

We use it pretty much every day for the four of us. I love that I can see through the glass and stop things before they burn, and the containers go straight in the dishwasher. The 6 qt one did a whole chicken on roast with room to spare, and leftovers go in the fridge in the same dish with the lid on.

Cosori Pro LE 5-QtMixed

KitchenRecs · G. Walsh · 10 days ago

It's quiet, I'll give it that, you can hold a conversation next to it. The presets run way too long though. On the fries setting ours were burnt at the edges well before the timer finished, so now I set my own time and temp and check halfway. Basket goes in the dishwasher no problem. Two pork chops is about the limit before they're touching. The glossy top panel shows every fingerprint. OK for the money.

Instant Vortex Plus 6-QtMixed

KitchenRecs · Doreen · 10 days ago

Replaced a cheap little 2 quart with this one. Fries and wings come out properly crisp and for two people it's much quicker than heating the big oven. I like that it reminds you to turn the food halfway. The first few times it smelled like hot plastic. Ran it empty twice with the kitchen window open and that went away. My real complaint is the basket. About ten months in the nonstick has started coming off near the bottom even though I only wash it by hand, and the handle feels a little loose now.

Ninja Crispi FN101Positive

Reddit · r/airfryer · 36 days ago

Uses the Ninja Crispi with its heating element in the head unit; the glass dish, crisping tray and lid all go in the dishwasher, the head unit grill stays free of grease when wiped after each use, and nothing holds food smells the way their first air fryer did.

Typhur Dome 2Negative

Reddit · r/airfryer · 176 days ago

App exited the cooking screen five minutes into a steak recipe and the probe temperature started dropping while the display still showed active cooking. Restarting from scratch forced an eight-minute warm-up, so the steak had to be finished on a hot plate.

Ninja Double Stack XL SL400Positive

YouTube · Wunschgetreu - Reviews Made in Germany · 342 days ago

Stands 38 cm tall and 29 cm wide, so it clears standard upper kitchen cabinets without trouble. Wire racks let you cook four separate items at once on Double Stack Pro mode, and non-slip feet keep the base planted when sliding heavy baskets out. It's 48 cm deep, though, which eats up lots of counter depth, and the 80-cm power cord is pretty short.
