PHILIPSAirfryer 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.

I have owned many airfryers and I have used this one daily for over a year now. It’s the perfect size for both single meals and when cooking for a small crowd. It’s incredibly quiet, much quieter than most airfryers and the heating is very consistent so things always come out just perfect.I have baked pastries in it, roasted potatoes, made toasties and all have come out amazing.

This is a great product. It is larger than the original one and works more efficient.

This is like a having a magic button on the wall, and whenever you press it, chicken and chips appears. (About 15 minutes later.) The phone app works, and it is easier to set the time and temperature using that. The drawer is big and deap. Cleaning is a bit of a chore, as the drawer comes away in two parts, and without the handle, the bottom heavier part is difficult to grasp while cleaning. I have caught my fingers a few times.

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 👍👍👍

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 is the first airfyer I’ve owned and I love it. It’s got loads of room inside. Probably enough space to feed a family. So far made chips, sausages, bacon and chicken in breadcrumbs. Everything has come out great. It’s simple to use with either the buttons on the device to select temperature and time or via the app. I like the app as it has recipes. Also shows you little videos on what to do and the timings for this device. I’m no chef but this is great. It’s giving me options to make a much wider variety of foods. Still got a lot of new things to try. 👍

Works well. Easy to clean
