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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ninja DoubleStack XL SL401Positive

YouTube · Sprint Kitchen · 355 days ago

Stacks two 5-quart ceramic nonstick baskets vertically to fit 10 quarts of food without hogging counter width. Stainless steel riser racks let you layer four dishes at once, and Smart Finish syncs different cook settings so everything finishes hot at the same time. Cleanup doesn't take much effort since the removable crisper plates, racks, and drawers are all dishwasher safe. You do have to watch where you place it on the counter, though. The exhaust vents blow hot air out the right side rather than the back, so you'll need at least six inches of side clearance to avoid heat damage.

Got an 8-quart basket that fits a 6-lb whole chicken or a 9-inch pizza with room to spare. The included wireless thermometer tracks internal temperatures so you don't have to keep opening the drawer. Its ceramic coating holds up well, though the bulky 14-lb frame hogs counter depth and won't fit 12-inch pizzas.

Fits a whole chicken comfortably inside the 8-quart ceramic basket without crowding the walls. A magnetic dock on the housing charges the five-sensor wireless probe, which holds a 50-hour battery life for tracking roasts. Once the meat hits your target internal temperature, the heater shuts off automatically so nothing overcooks. The probe needs 30 minutes of charging before first use, though, and you'll get a mild chemical smell during the initial burn-off.

Pushes 1750 watts through a roomy 8-quart ceramic nonstick basket that fits family-sized cuts easily. Runs very quietly all the way up to 450 degrees with responsive touch controls. The synced wireless probe takes the guesswork out of thick proteins, though you'll notice a strong factory odor during the first high-heat dry run.

Typhur Dome 2Positive

YouTube · Guide Nation · 667 days ago

Cooks wings and four slices of bread evenly across a wide flat basket using simultaneous top and bottom heating rings. You don't have to shake the drawer halfway through, and the mobile app lets you tweak preset temperatures and times easily. A built-in high-heat self-cleaning mode burns off stubborn grease splatters around the upper element. It's a bulky machine that hogs counter space, though, and the shallow clearance won't fit whole potatoes or thick steaks.

YouTube · Tom Horsman · 667 days ago

12-by-12-inch PFAS-free cooking surface, fits a full 12-inch pizza or a big batch of wings without stacking. Upper and lower heating elements brown food evenly so you don't have to flip anything mid-cook. Digital controls dial in up to 450 degrees fast, though the 2.5-inch vertical clearance can't handle tall roasts.

Typhur Dome 2Positive

YouTube · NOOB'S KITCHEN · 667 days ago

Got a massive 12.5-inch flat square basket with dual heating elements, and it cooks frozen fries and chicken wings evenly without shaking. Runs much quieter than standard basket fryers even during high-heat crisping. Touch controls give you eight quick presets plus two dedicated self-cleaning modes to burn off baked-on grease. Still, the frame weighs nearly 20 lb and measures over 20 inches deep, so it's bulky and won't tuck into standard cupboards.

Typhur Dome 2Positive

YouTube · Bob Diff · 667 days ago

Got dual top and bottom burners that deliver full 360-degree heating for even browning without flipping. Runs quietly around 55 decibels even on the highest air fry setting. Connects via Wi-Fi to customize presets, though it requires a 2.4 GHz network and the default toast mode doesn't brown bread enough on one run.

Ninja Crispi Pro AS101Positive

YouTube · Meem Reviews & Tips · 667 days ago

Pushes strong downward convection airflow to turn out evenly browned meats and crispy roasted veggies. You get both a deep 6-quart glass container and a shallow 2.5-quart bowl fitted with ceramic-coated crisper plates. The modular heating frame adjusts height smoothly to seal over either bowl size. Sliding that heavy glass vessel into place can shove the whole frame backward on the counter though, so you'll need to brace the front bumper with one hand.

Ninja Crispi Pro AS101Positive

YouTube · Candid Clara · 667 days ago

Steps up capacity with a 5.7-liter glass bowl and a 2.3-liter dish while keeping a full view of your food as it crisps. High-velocity airflow browns food like a metal basket, and the thermal-resistant bowls include snap lids for the fridge. That fixed plastic base on the bowls doesn't come off though, trapping water during hand washing.

Ninja Crispi FN101Positive

YouTube · Barry Lewis · 667 days ago

Cooks meals right inside heavy glass bowls that go straight from the counter to the dinner table. Integrated heat-proof feet on the power pod protect kitchen surfaces between batches, and the dishwasher-safe bowls and lids make cleanup easy. The heating pod is pretty heavy and awkward to lug around though, so it's not really travel-friendly.

Ninja Crispi FN101Positive

YouTube · Bob Diff · 667 days ago

Fits up to 2 lb of chicken wings in the 4-quart glass bowl and cooks them crisp and evenly in about 30 minutes. Thermal-resistant borosilicate dishes go straight from freezer storage to high-heat air frying without cracking. You also get a smaller six-cup container that's great for toasted sandwiches and quick single-serve snacks. The display doesn't show actual temperature numbers though, leaving you with only preset mode names and a timer.

Ninja Crispi FN101Mixed

YouTube · Sprint Kitchen · 667 days ago

Reaches 450 degrees in seconds with a top heating pod that sits on thermal-shock-resistant glass bowls. Cooking inside thick borosilicate glass means you don't deal with peeling nonstick baskets while still browning frozen sides fast. The silicone feet on the crisper plates are fragile though, and they can tear off after repeated washes.

Ninja Crispi DualZone DD101Positive

YouTube · Candid Clara · 667 days ago

Got a spring-loaded heating frame that seals tightly over both 3.8-liter glass bowls so aromas never mix between zones. Independent controls let you bake in one dish while roasting in the other, and the clear glass gives a full view of browning. Cleanup is easy since the bowls go straight into the dishwasher. Those thick glass vessels are heavy to lift though, and the US version can't run both sides at maximum power at the same time.

Ninja Crispi DualZone DD101Positive

YouTube · Stizz🐝 · 667 days ago

Clear 4-quart borosilicate glass bowls let you watch food brown without opening drawers and losing heat. Heat-safe rubber feet let the vessels sit right on the counter, and they go straight into the dishwasher without nonstick coating worries. At 30 lb though, it's super heavy and awkward to move across the kitchen.

Ninja Air Fryer AF101Mixed

YouTube · Poolarity - Life Hacks · 667 days ago

Fits easily on crowded countertops with a compact footprint and a 4.5-inch deep basket. Digital controls run from 105 up to 400 degrees for simple weeknight cooking, and the slick ceramic nonstick interior wipes down quickly without stubborn residue. That narrow, deep round shape has a real downside though. You're forced to stack food vertically instead of spreading it in a single layer, so batches won't brown evenly unless you shake the basket often.

Ninja Air Fryer AF101Positive

YouTube · Just A Dad Approved · 667 days ago

Crisps frozen tater tots and fish fillets evenly in under ten minutes inside its 8.25-inch nonstick basket. The fan runs fairly quietly, and physical buttons make setting cook times effortless. You'll need to pull it away from the wall though, because the rear vent blasts hot exhaust air that can damage backsplashes.

YouTube · Bob Diff · 667 days ago

Got a pizza-oven-style 12-by-12-inch ceramic basket that crisps wings, bacon, and calzones in a wide flat layer. It stays whisper-quiet across all 10 presets, and grippy rubber feet keep it planted on the counter. You can't trigger the self-cleaning mode from the front panel, though, so you're forced to use the phone app.

Philips Premium Airfryer XXL HD9870Positive

YouTube · D&M Ralph Creations and reviews · 667 days ago

Smart sensing tech detects how much food you load and sets time and heat automatically, crisping 700 grams of frozen fries in 11 minutes. A removable bottom mesh insert traps rendered grease and rinses clean without heavy scrubbing. The outer shell is pretty bulky, though, so it won't fit comfortably in tight kitchens.

Philips Premium Airfryer XXL HD9650Positive

YouTube · AirfryDaily · 667 days ago

Twin TurboStar swirl plates at the bottom of the pan separate excess rendered fat from the circulating hot air. Popping out the removable mesh basket bottom makes scrubbing baked-on grease much easier after a roast. Still, the bulky housing eats up serious counter space, and it doesn't have the auto-sensing presets found on newer siblings.
