Philips Premium Air Fryer XXL

Here is a great air fryer that makes our best air fryers list for several reasons. We personally LOVE the simplicity of the analog dials (1 for time and 1 for temp). This model comes with fat removal technology that extracts and captures excess fat.  The result is delicious and healthier fried food that is as crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

This 4 quart Philips Premium air fryer XXL grills, roasts, bakes, reheats, dehydrates, and toasts, so it takes on the role of multiple kitchen appliances, even the toaster oven. This air fryer gets up to temperature extremely fast, therefore there is no need to preheat. It cooks up to 4 times faster than a conventional oven. The Philips Premium Air Fryer XXL creates less smell and spattering than conventional ovens. It is easy to clean, safe and economical for daily use.
