Philips Essential Air Fryer XL

The Philips Essential Air Fryer air fryer has it all. The air fryer has gained hype for its ease of use, so even beginners can get going. The digital touch screen cones with 7 presets to make it easy to decide which temperature is best to cook your food and a “keep warm” function makes sure your food is ready when you are. This air fryer can do more than just fry; it also grills, roasts, bakes and even reheats. The rapid air technology behind this gadget spreads hot air with high pressure, and it just works well!

Philips Essential Air Fryer TouchscreenEase of Use

The digital touchscreen seems easy enough for beginners to use, but some of the negative reviews are based on the touchscreen not being intuitive and this difficult to use.

The Keep Warm mode keeps the food at the ideal temp for up to 30 minutes.

Reviews

91% of the over 265 Amazon Reviews are 4 star or better. When looking at the 1 star reviews on this Philips Essential Air Fryer XL, they were almost all related to receiving a defective air fryer. One negative review noted that “the pan is not a solid bottom, it has a hole in it which will allow stuff to drip through onto the interior.”
