Philips Airfryer XL NA231/00

It is a large device on the table. It's great that you can air fry different products at the same time. It is simple to operate and does not require too much fuss. On, set temperature, set time and on. There is a raised rack that is clamped with rubbers. So you can throw out the contents without the raised part falling out. I think it should take longer than stated on many packaging. And I think it's really big.

I was looking for a new air fryer because my 7 year old air fryer was simply no longer up to date. I was able to test this air fryer for a few weeks and I am very pleased with the results, the ease of use, and most importantly, the sound. The first thing I noticed is that the appearance of this air fryer is very nice. The matte black finish gives the appliance a timeless appearance that looks very good in my kitchen. In addition, you can use the viewing window to keep an eye on the food without having to remove the basket from the machine. When I turned it on for the first time, I immediately noticed that it is very quiet. After preparing various dishes in the air fryer, I have to say that I am very pleased with the results and how easy the air fryer is to use. The air fryer reaches the desired temperature within a minute, so preheating is no longer necessary. This new air fryer takes up just as much space as my old one, but the basket holds 50% more. The 6.2 liter container ensures that I can fit 4 pizza slices, 2 large chicken fillets, or almost a whole kilo of fries. Because the machine heats up very quickly, I use it almost daily to heat things up very quickly. The machine has 13 different presets, but I do notice that I often set the temperature manually because I prefer to determine the temperature and time myself. Setting the temperature and time is very easy via the touch buttons. What I did notice is that because of the design of the grid that is placed in the basket, thin fries can fall through the grid. As a result, with each load of fries you have about 5 or 6 fries that fall through the grid and that you can only remove when the grid has cooled down. In addition, I always have to bake most things that I bake a little longer than indicated on the packaging. Miraculously, the entire basket and the grid can go in the dishwasher. I was skeptical about this but tried it anyway and the basket and the grid came out clean and intact. There is some water left in the basket and the handle, but after some shaking it comes out. There can be some condensation on the window after the dishwasher and Philips itself indicates that you should put the basket in the machine for 10 minutes at 200 degrees. All-in-all I am very satisfied. This is an air fryer that I will use much more often for much more than just fries.

The first thing you notice is the transparent drawers of the air fryer, which is the first plus point. It is very handy to see how far your food is without opening the drawer! In addition, it is a nice compact air fryer that looks great in your kitchen. It does not take up too much space, which is nice. Furthermore, while using the air fryer I noticed that it is very quiet compared to my old air fryer, which I think is a big plus. The air fryer has a 6.2L capacity and with this you can prepare enough fries/snacks or other products. I mainly used the air fryer for fries, which came out very crispy. But I also prepared chicken legs in it, which were also deliciously crispy. The device is easy to use. The 13 preparation methods with the temperature and time are not always correct in my opinion. That is why I use the manual function where you can set the time and temperature yourself. The last plus point I find is that the device is easy to clean. The only real disadvantage I found was the cord which is very short. I was able to test this product for about three weeks.
