They only smoke on high fat thing if you set them for longer periods without opening and shaking it stops smoke building up.
I have cooked many things, use it daily, readymade frozen seems to have more fat in already, so having used up fish fingers I have made all my own, I do chicken fillets in breadcrumbs, burgers, sausages, steamed fish yes you can add water in bottom pan, I make ONLY proper chips, rinse under running water to wash starch, no need to soak for 30 mins...dry well I use max of 2 TEAspoon of oil to serve two. Perfect. Use good spuds like maris piper.
Wedges to die for. Either tossed in plain oil with herb and chilli delicious.

I did a roast beef joint, and roast spuds- spot on, the meat was tender.
Bacon is the worst for smoke if you don't open draw and move more regularly and no high smoke. Steak great. sweet potato chips, roasted vegs.
Treat it like a mini fan assisted oven.
I soak pan and basket when still warm with washing up liquid. The grid of basket needs a brush to clean, sometimes pop in dishwasher, bottom pan on bottom shelf and basket on top shelf.
Good phillips recipe app for mobile devices, and if you look on youtube for airfryer, watch the Phillips Aussie ones. To clean inside, round element, the phillips Aussie site shows how.
Overall good gadget we hardly use cooker. The air fryer combined with steamer works well. I always do the potatoes element first take them out needing a few mins more, then do the meat or fish, returning the potatoes back to air fryer for 3 mins on top and around meat / fish . I can part cook things earlier in the day as well.
I even adapted the proper ikea meatball recipe to air-fry rather than fry swimming in butter.. The taste of air fried food is outstanding.
Bought mine on an amazon deal earlier in year. this price good.
Enjoy.

Microwave heating pastry will taste soggy and rubbery, a minute in the airfryer and it tastes and has the texture that it has just freshly come out of oven. Same for day old slices of pizza.

Yeah good old home made chips are best in a deep fryer. but "frozen" chips/fries etc in the air fryer are good.

£100 now

These heat up really quickly and food cooks quicker in my experience than a normal fan oven.
You need to do it for less time and possibly change the heat settings, (as it is it looks like you over cooked them).
We love hash browns and in a normal oven they take longer than on the instructions (for the way we like them) but in a phillips oven they take less time then on the pack and come out nicer.

just used mine today got it a couple of months ago. Have to say rather disappointed with the taste of frozen chips...really hard and dry. the kids didnt eat them nor the hubby

For anyone still interested, the white one is available at Amazon for £85.99 here.

"Sorry, this product is currently unavailable." :-(

My Duronic has just packed up after 3 years of use. I'm not sure whether to get the Philips or another Duronic. I've never had problems with smoke and I cook frozen burgers and lots of fatty foods.

Out of interest, before I commit, has anyone tried the Breville Halo Health Fryers? They are also on offer at the moment.

picked one up yesterday quite impressed with it

Just been in Tesco Handforth Dean, the white one is £149. So, this looks like a bargain. The reviews on Amazon are extremely positive, like on here. Just a few negative comments. Think I am going to bite...

​Tandoori chicken needs a high heat for great results, this gadget is not capable of that unless you used it outside to escape the smoke

The wife sold ours as it was a pain to clean the element, smoked a lot of the things we'd bought it to cook and bits of scouring pad kept on getting stuck in the grill.

Contacted Amazon, they do not price match.

Bought from Tesco, thanks.

Brilliant thanks

Still tempted. Especially now I have seen this biryani.

My basket has broken and doesn't remain the the pan when shaking now, it keeps falling out. Has anyone ordered replacement parts??

will it cook enough chips for a family of 5 ?

<3 hot hot hot

anyone else having problems, I can't complete a purchase :disappointed:

Great price, definitely the money. I don't like that I can't stop the ticking timer earlier, but I just turn it off at the wall when I need to. It's one of the few things I bought for the kitchen which gets use multiple times a week :-)

When using for marinated chicken, I always start with 120 and then increase to 160.Same when cooking frozen burger.

Fantastic product! Got mine from Sainsburys for £50 innew years sales. Fish and chips, hotdogs, sausages, southern fried chicken, tandoori chicken, samosas is just a few. There are you tube videos of people making Chicken Biryani in metal pot placed inside. Only slight complaint from a family of four is that it's a bit small. Apart from that we all love it and we are all healthier as a result!

Put it at 120 for a start and then increase to 160.That's how I use it for frozen burger.

I'm sure that I bought mine for much cheaper in the New Year sales but still going to vote hot. Very good for cooking most foods although there will be a little adjustment to factor with taste and texture of foods like chips. In fact, I've just thrown in half a pizza flat bread whilst I write some feedback and it'll be piping hot by the time I hit the post button. Great for not having to mess around with the large oven when just wanting a snack.

I've found them pretty terrible for cooking prawn crackers though, which is the only time I'll return to deep fry.

Just bought one of these last week, fantastic for making chips! Cooked some fish in it too and came out great. Really keen to try more things now and would recommend.

Love my air fryer , you just got to use trial and error to see what works best . Not suitable for a few things you think it would be but the pros outweigh the cons . IMO.

I love my airfyer, but managed to get this model for £49 on Amazon at xmas, so not sure how much of a deal it is at this price.

I found it works ok if you boil the chips first. It's a lot of effort for chips that take forever to cook and still don't taste that great.

Got this on black Friday for under £50 from Amazon. Its one of the best ...

​I took mine back as I wanted it to cook marinated chicken in it but the amount of smoke that came out of was unbearable. Had to leave the outside door open as it set off the fire alarm

No club card boost like last time. So Cold.

I have to agree. Bought one before Christmas and cooked chips in it 3 times but have now gone back to the deep fat fryer.

Amazing. Love my one. Got it on Black Friday. This is also a good price

I would also like to hear a comparison to an actifry, I have owned now 3 actifrys which are great. But the just get broken so easily.

I have also had the tower fryer , no comparison to the actifry, actifry wins hands down!

Also how much chips can it cook compared to the 1kg of an actifry?

We have this for years and use it very rarely. I really do not like the crips in it, makes the chicken's batter dry. Really not impressed

I've heard this is really good but I think folk are kidding themselves when they say how good the chips are. You can't beat an old fashioned fryer, everything in moderation and you can't go wrong. http://www.tesco.com/direct/tesco-pro-fryer-dfpss11-3l-stainless-steel/211-5065.prd?skuId=211-5065

I find on things like burgers that drips and because there is a strong blasting fan this then blows the fat inside the oven and eventually hits the element and smokes. One burger maybe but with 2 or 3 in the oven the kitchen starts to fill with smoke so i wouldn't recommend it for that.
Its great for crisping up garlic bread, cheese on toast, oven chips, hash-browns etc. done in less time and with better results.

Amazon "lost" mine when they were £50 on Black Friday. I've been waiting for the price to come down ever since. Very happy and highly anticipating its arrival!

I've been microwaving them when they go a bit stale but they come out soggy (I like to cut them in half long way and use marmalade). It's worth using the airfryer if they can make stale croissants taste like new :smiley:

But so are actifry. The only person I know who owned both was not very complimentary about the Phillips.

Microwave heating pastry will taste soggy and rubbery, a minute in the airfryer and it tastes and has the texture that it has just freshly come out of oven. Same for day old slices of pizza.

These are great!!

Can you cook frozen burgers? Spicy chicken wings etc. Salmon fishcakes etc.

Have to say, I am tempted. Thanks OP.

microwave 10 seconds

waste of leccy using one of these

Anybody had one of these and an actifry? Which is best. I've had an actifry wich has packed up.

wish was Boost time! :smirk:

I totally agree with you..

Get yourself a big bag of Smart Price chips for 75p from Asda. Cooks them 'takeaway style' from frozen in as quick as 8 minutes.

Is it teflon inside?

Any cashback quidco or promo codes for this guys? Nice find OP

150 for 4 minutes :laughing:

I use mine to cook 'proper' chips as well. Just toss the cut chips in a little olive oil then cook. Not quite like chips fried in lots of oil...but not bad at all..

I've got a halogen oven, is it worth getting an airfryer? I've not tried to do chips in halogen yet.

Excellent!!! Been waiting for this to go on offer, just ordered! Nice one op!

The warming of croissants, what temp and how long?

I purchased the Tower airfryer from B&m for £49.99. Does the same job....3 years warranty and more capacity.

To all the Air fryer owners out there. How do you clean the basket? I absolutely love mine.

I can't rave about this enough! It's amazing! Cooked lamb chops in mine last night! The most succulent lamb chops you will ever have!! Same goes for chicken etc always more juicy using the air fryer...

I've had mine for 4 years.. Absolutely brilliant, I eat junk without gaining weight lol

what else do you cook in these? other than chips :laughing:

good find op, heat added

It's a great bit of kit, I use mine regularly. Got mine for £50 though, just before Xmas (Amazon)

Yup its been stuck at £90 at Amazon etc, so this is a nice £20 off. Its one of the few kitchen gadgets... actually its the only kitchen gadget that has stayed. Even the Tassimo will get the boot once the pods are done.

Glad to see it is back down to the 'correct' price again.

Love my Air Fryer :smiley:

Very good buy.We use it nearly everyday in my home.

Saw this instore at Orpington, I've had mine for 4/5 years, it's brilliant.
