Philips Airfryer 5000 Series XL, 6.2L (1.2Kg), 14-in-1 Airfryer, Wifi connected, 90% Less fat with Rapid Air Technology, HomeID app (HD9280/91)

This is our first air fryer, I dithered on a Ninja, left it too long then couldn't get one anywhere so decided this would be the next best thing based on reviews. Obviously the Ninja offers two seperate baskets which I imagine offers much greater flexibility, different food can be cooked at the same time with this but it's an obvious disadvantage and a bit of a faff. It's quiet, heats remarkably fast and cooks very well in what seems like a short amount of time. Roast potatoes, chicken, sausages, bacon, wraps etc are cooked to perfection with the added bonus of having to use very little/no fat. The Nutri ap' I've not used being as the fryer itself is very intuitive in use....I simply set the temp and time, press cook and check periodically taking into account it cooks much quicker than our gas oven and so far I've managed to get the temp/time more or less right. It wasn't bought for cheese toasties but these are laughably fantastic, light, crunchy, melted filling and taste lovely with a great texture and all done in 10 minutes...it give's an idea of how well/quickly these things cook food. I can see this getting a lot of use not just as an energy saver but for it's convenience (cleaning sometimes is simply a wipe with kitchen roll), it's speed and for how well it cooks. In hindsight I'd prefer two cooking baskets and multiple timers but for the price paid (£150) this is a great addition to the kitchen and an impressive start to air frying. Lastly, be aware the unit puts out a fair amount of heat from the rear so think about where you situate it. Just an update: we've used the cooker hardly at all since having the air fryer using it only for large roasts or if something needs boiling/steaming etc on the hob. I've noticed the gas usage/bill going down (noticeably) and the electricity usage gone up (slightly) so it's very cost effective. This has to be one of the better items we've bought in recent years and can't imagine being without one. How it stacks up against other brands I don't know but if we had to replace it tomorrow I think we might well go for the same one, it's been faultless and quite enjoyable to use.

Excellent airfryer, best one I have ever owned. Has so many uses, is super quiet and has very good value for money.

This appliance has made my life very easy in the kitchen. Everything cooks about 40% faster compared to my conventional fan oven and requires no pre heat cutting the cooking time in half. Food cooks evenly and I love getting the nice crisp by increasing the temperature at the end for a few minutes. It used to be a dark art to do the same under the grill on my old oven but works like a charm with the air fryer. My only suggestion to philips would be to have an automatic cool down function at the end of the cooking cycle to let the steam escape especially for high cooking temperature settings. I do this manually and wind the temperature all the way down for the last minute. Besides that, I'm super happy with the appliance and even cook pizzas in it which comes out perfect every time.

+ Cooks everything MUCH faster + Great results every time, 99% is just 180 degrees/13-15 minutes + No need to preheat + Uses LESS energy than the oven + Cleans well in a dishwasher + Connected model was cheaper so I don't care + Can be remotely controlled (when the feature works) - Short cable - Wi-Fi gimmick is awful, needs unplug/plug back most of the time - Touch buttons not easy to press and use - Program LEDs are NOT the buttons, you need to cycle through all of those, so annoying - No Favourite program/button/setting, even ONE like 180/15 for example - Little rubber plug SO EASY to lose - very expensive to replace, no spares in the box - No clear indication when it's actually on/running/off (Play/Pause button and LED) - Hand washing not really comfortable Would I buy again - yes, it's the best model I could find, now after two months, it's even cheaper and we can't imagine our kitchen without it now, what's more, I'm thinking about getting the small one for complementing/additional possibilities.

High quality and well made

The airfryer is super convenient — it cooks quickly, uses little oil, and makes cleanup easy. Fries and wings come out crispy without the guilt. That said, it’s not perfect. The basket is small for big meals, and some foods can dry out if you’re not careful. Still, it’s a great tool for fast, healthier cooking.

So far it’s good. I cooked my Christmas Day dinner in it. It’s quiet with a gently hum of air circulating. Some of the cooking options are not clear, but I just picked the closest option and adjusted what I needed to on the app. The app was super easy to use and gave reminders to shake your food in intervals. The start cooking did not work on the app, so had to press start on the air-fryer. Not sure how to ‘crisp’ works yet or if that is something that just happens cooking with an air-fryer. It black and sleek so looks good. One of the reasons I bought it was to save on electric so I’ll see if it saves on that bill going forward whilst I continue to experiment with it. I guess it’s a mini fan oven and it’s size is where the value is made. Im pleased I eventually made the investment.

This air fryer is not noisy, good performance so far and great value for money as I bought it almost half price. I am just hoping it will last just like my old air fryer (for my son's usage in college accomodation) still working but needs a 2nd one. Good size, easy to clean and a good brand too. It is worth buying it 👍👍👍

Ottimo

Je suis contente d avoir reçu rapidement mon appareil mais impossible de l'utiliser car la prise n est pas au norme française non précisé dans les descriptions. Donc impossible de savoir si il marche ou pas . Je mettrai une autre com. pour voir si j ai trouvé cette prise ou si je renvoie l appareil. Très déçu quand même. Alors trouvé sur Amazon la prise qu il me fallait. L appareil marche parfaitement connections au téléphone sans problème facile et rapide. Essaie des frites cuisson rapide et parfaite. Frite croustillantes et bien cuite en 22 min. Facile a nettoyer facile d utilisation. Je rajoute une étoile a mon 1er commentaire ☺️

Lo ha preso mio papà per casa sua lo usa tantissimo consigliato 😊
