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.

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.

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 · 11 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.

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.

Typhur Sync Air FryerPositive

YouTube · Jon Talks · 667 days ago

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.

Typhur Sync Air FryerPositive

YouTube · Rhonda's Country Kitchen · 667 days ago

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.

Typhur Sync Air FryerPositive

YouTube · Empowered Cooks · 667 days ago

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.

Typhur Dome 2Positive

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.

Typhur DomePositive

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.

Philips Essential Airfryer XL HD9270Positive

YouTube · Hazel's Diary · 667 days ago

Roasts a whole marinated chicken to a crunchy, golden crust in 30 minutes using the built-in poultry preset. Pulling out the drawer mid-cycle pauses the heating element automatically so you can check progress safely. Slide the pan back in and it picks right back up without losing your timer settings. You'll still need to flip a full-sized bird halfway through, though, since bottom airflow alone doesn't crisp the underside skin as evenly.

Philips Essential Airfryer HD9252Positive

YouTube · Review Whizz · 667 days ago

Holds up well over the long haul, with the nonstick coating on both the basket and pan staying intact after nearly two years of weekly cooks. Manual temperature tweaks turn out crispy tofu, tempeh, and golden fries without sticking or flaking. Its compact 4.1-liter footprint tucks neatly into tight apartment counters and cleans up in minutes. The capacitive touch buttons are a bit finicky, though, and don't always register taps on the first press.

Philips Essential Airfryer HD9252Positive

YouTube · Selectos EN · 667 days ago

Runs at a whisper-quiet 45 decibels from one meter away, making it easy to hold a conversation nearby. Responsive touch controls adjust heat quickly from 60 up to 200 degrees for everyday snacks. It doesn't have an automatic shake reminder beep, though, and thin fries needed three extra minutes past the preset to crisp.

Philips Airfryer 4000 Series Stacked Dual Basket NA460Positive

YouTube · Ultracooker EN · 667 days ago

Stacks two 5-liter baskets vertically to save counter width while keeping the exterior sides cool at 36 degrees. Both drawers have comfortable handles and brown family batches evenly without swapping trays midway. Dishwasher-safe nonstick inserts rinse clean quickly after greasy roast cycles. The lower crisper grate holes are slightly wide, though, so shoestring fries can slip through. It also doesn't include a dedicated keep-warm button on the panel.

Philips Airfryer 3000 Series NA332Positive

YouTube · Ultracooker EN · 667 days ago

Got a bright viewing window and internal light that make tracking 6.2 liters of food effortless without opening the drawer. Tighter grid holes in the crisper tray keep thin fries from dropping through into the lower pan. Both the basket and insert are dishwasher-safe and clean up fast after greasy cooks. Touch controls feel a little laggy when tapping through menus, though. Separating the inner basket from the bulky outer pan isn't always smooth either.

Philips Airfryer 3000 Series NA332Positive

YouTube · Wave Oven Recipes · 667 days ago

Runs at 1700 watts with a 6.2-liter capacity and heat settings ranging from 100 to 400 degrees. Sixteen presets and long timers on lower heat handle everything from slow dehydrating to quick crisping. Because of that heavy power draw, it'll trip shared kitchen breakers if you don't plug it into a dedicated circuit.

Philips Airfryer 3000 Series Dual Basket NA350Positive

YouTube · Lazy AWESOME Dad · 667 days ago

Pulls 2750 watts across two asymmetric drawers to crisp frozen burgers, salmon fillets, and a whole roast chicken evenly. The sync finish button automatically holds the shorter cook until both sides are ready to serve together. Cleanup is quick once the baskets cool down after dinner. Drawers slide out on basic friction rather than smooth glide rails, though, so they feel a bit stiff. The 80-centimeter power cord is also pretty short and doesn't reach distant wall outlets.

Philips Airfryer 1000 Series NA130Positive

YouTube · Samir Mahure · 667 days ago

6.2-liter non-stick basket with a starfish airflow bottom, circulates heat evenly around family-sized batches of chicken or fries. Tactile mechanical dials handle time and temperature tweaks without fussy touchscreens, and the 4.2 kg body is easy to move around. It doesn't have digital presets or a shake reminder, though, so you'll need to flip food on your own.

Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Smart Cook AF451Mixed

YouTube · Lindz and Life · 667 days ago

Flat digital touch panel wipes down easily and holds up reliably through a full year of daily family meals. Both 4.75-liter baskets and nonstick crisper plates resist peeling or flaking even after months of heavy rotation and quick sink washes. Having two separate zones makes timing proteins and sides straightforward on busy weeknights. The built-in smart thermometer probe wasn't calibrated accurately during meat cooks, though. You'll still want a standalone instant-read thermometer on hand to double-check internal doneness.

Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone AF400Positive

YouTube · TheThorpester · 667 days ago

Twin 4.75-liter drawers come with chunky insulated handles and nonstick crisper plates that wipe clean in seconds. Easily roasts a whole chicken in one basket while crisping roast potatoes at a different temperature in the second compartment. Even with a big 9.5-liter capacity for family dinners, the body still slides neatly underneath standard kitchen wall cupboards. Hot air exhausts out the back vents and rises straight toward overhanging cabinets, though. You'll want to pull it forward on the counter before running high-heat cooks.

Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone AF400Positive

YouTube · A2B Productions · 667 days ago

Packs 2400 watts and holds 25% more per drawer than the 7.6-liter model, fitting up to 1.4 kilos of fries per side. Max Crisp hits 240 degrees Celsius for crunchy skin and frozen snacks, while Match and Sync modes finish separate dishes together. Rear vents blast strong heat plumes though, so don't tuck it under low cabinets.

Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer AF500Mixed

YouTube · Candid Clara · 667 days ago

Huge 10.4-liter drawer handles oversized roasts that standard dual-basket air fryers can't fit, plus it adds a dedicated prove mode from 35 to 75 degrees Celsius. Max Crisp locks in at 240 degrees Celsius for rapid crisping on frozen food without overlapping normal air fry temps. Pull out the center divider when you need one giant roasting tray for family dinners. The thin metal divider doesn't block heat well between zones, though. Running one side on roast pushed the idle side up to 80 degrees Celsius.

Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer AF500Positive

YouTube · Best Home Gadgets Tech Reviews · 667 days ago

Rear exhaust vents point straight up so hot air won't scorch your kitchen walls during dual-zone cooks. Sync mode held the roast potatoes on pause until the Beef Wellington hit the matching countdown window, and dual fans browned both sides evenly. It's noticeably louder than a microwave though, with a distinct fan whine.

Ninja Foodi DualZone DZ201Positive

YouTube · Katelyn · 667 days ago

Smart Finish coordinates two different temperatures and cook times so your main dish and side finish at the exact same moment. Match Cook also copies settings across both 4-quart drawers with a single button press when making larger batches. Crisps kale chips evenly at 360 degrees Fahrenheit before running an automatic cool-down cycle at the end. Both nonstick baskets slide out smoothly and clean up without much scrubbing. It's fairly heavy to move around the kitchen though, and the wide body takes up noticeable counter space.

Ninja Foodi DualZone DZ201Positive

YouTube · The Review Hub · 667 days ago

Got twin 4-quart zones that run independent temperatures and programs for cooking mains and sides at once. Sturdy basket handles slide smoothly without jostling the other side, and the nonstick crisper plates wipe clean fast. It's a bulky 15.6 inches wide on the counter though, and odors can mix since both vents share the back.

Instant Vortex Plus Dual 8-QtPositive

YouTube · The Average Kitchen · 667 days ago

Bakes hot dogs, nuggets, and fries with even browning across both cooking zones. Sync Cook mirrors your time and temperature across both drawers automatically when you're making big batches. Clear glass fronts and interior lights let you watch food crisp up without pulling the baskets open and losing heat. You get plenty of room for family dinners when using both four-quart sides together. It isn't the fastest to warm up though, taking about five minutes to preheat, and the wide dual-drawer body eats up serious counter space.

Instant Vortex Plus Dual 8-QtPositive

YouTube · Frequent Flyer · 667 days ago

Got dual independent baskets that cook nuggets at 400 degrees and fries at 380 degrees at the same time. Each side has its own light switch so you don't lose heat checking on your food. It preheats fast and holds steady temperatures with both drawers running. Still, the timer caps at 60 minutes, and setting both sides takes lots of button presses.
