Philips Airfryer XL Connected HD9280/70

I think the Philips Airfryer XXL Connected HD9285/93 + baking pan is a compact and stylish airfryer. I easily connect it to my phone in a few steps via the NutriU app. The display just doesn't respond immediately when I press a key.

Little space required
I take the airfryer out of the box and I immediately notice that it is compact and lightweight. That's handy, because it doesn't take up much space in my small kitchen. The airfryer also looks stylish and sturdy, thanks to the matte finish and non-slip feet. In the device itself I find another baking accessory. This is how I make tasty oven recipes.

Operation via app or manually
I put the plug in the socket and the airfryer switches on within a few seconds. I operate the airfryer in 3 ways: via the NutriU app, the automatic baking programs or manually. The display is just less sensitive than with the previous airfryers. For example, I sometimes have to press a button with extra force or several times to increase the baking temperature, for example.

Cooking help from the app
I decide to get the most out of the airfryer and download the app on my phone. Pairing does not take long and is easy. In the app I find a recipe for banana bread. The app tells me exactly which ingredients I need and helps me step by step during the preparation. After I pour the batter into the baking accessory, the app sends the baking settings to the airfryer. Handy, because that way I no longer have to think about the correct baking temperature and time. From the couch I can immediately see in the app how long it will take until the bread is baked. The bread comes out of the airfryer wonderfully crispy and at the same time creamy. I am positively surprised!

Different cooking levels
I use the airfryer not only for baking bread, but also for other meals. For example, I can choose from 16 different cooking functions, so that I can prepare different dishes. For example, I have the choice of frying, roasting, defrosting, warming up or fermenting. Very nice, because an oven, deep fryer or microwave is now a thing of the past.

Easy cleaning
After dinner I wait until the airfryer has cooled down. I clean the separate parts in the dishwasher or I clean them easily with a washing-up brush. I put the baking accessory back in the basket, so that I can easily find it for my next dish.

It bakes delicious snacks and is easy to clean (dishwasher and cloth) but it is difficult that during baking you pull out the basket (with handle) together with the container and then have to separate it to shake the chips, for example. Then you have a hot separate container that you have to put somewhere on your counter. My previous Philips airfryer had a kind of drawer so that you could simply remove the basket and keep the box in place/on the quay.

We have not had an airfryer or deep fryer before this. We got the unhealthy snacks from the local chip shop or we used oven chips. We never got the fries right out of the oven. It is and remained a weak intention, no matter how long and which chips we put in it. With the airfryer this is really a thing of the past. Set the temperature, put frozen fries in it, or pre-fried fresh fries, and you'll have them wonderfully crispy within 20 minutes if you use fresh fries. You can also make nice and crispy "baked" variants with the regular potatoes. The bitterballen came out great too! Totally happy with it as an alternative to the chip shop and fries farmer.

There is also an app on the airfryer where you can get recipes from. If you want to airfry several things at the same time, then you have a challenge. Vegetables should be at a time/temp than meat for example. You will then have to use the airfryer in addition to cooking/baking.

In addition to being easy to operate, the food is also ready quickly. You do not have to preheat and afterwards it is easy to clean. Great in use.
