Am I blind or does it not say the capacity of it (Litre) anywhere?

I'm using the Amazon app btw.

If you go down as far as the comparison with similar items there is a capacity listing,, but rather unhelpfully it's in kg where the rest are in litres! Though the kg of food you can cook is probably more relevant in real life.

I’ve had all three sizes of air fryers and the best way to describe the size is
Regular = 1.2 kg full chicken
Xl = 1.4kg full chicken
Xxl = 1.9/2kg full chicken

The smaller units like tower etc use litres because it sounds bigger

This one is regular so?

Ya.... something not right. This Model 9220 is always selling just over the £90 mark... so where is the deal

I bought it 2 yrs Ago at £78 or so.

I think i bought mine 4yrs ago for around 60quids.

MrStuffins · 23-08-2020 1:29pm

This is an amazing product, but I bought it for around £70 on Amazon about four years ago.

Is it worth £98? Absolutely! But you'll get it cheaper

23-08-2020 4:39pm

I bought it for 70 also about 3 years ago but I’ve been watching the prices for the last year or so as a family member is after one and it’s not even been as low as the 99 pounds it is noW for a long time. It’s been up around the 130 pound mark almost all the time.

You could be a very long time waiting got it to hit 70 pounds again I feel.

Masala · 23-08-2020 6:35pm

Am holding out for the XL. Will pull the trigger on £110_£120 mark when it drops

keeponrockin · 23-08-2020 8:19pm

If your on the fence and can hold off Black Friday usually brings low low prices on airfryers.

That's not an air fryer.

OmegaGene wrote: »

the difference between the regular and xl is not that much, keep an eye on the xxl prices too

I have the standard one and my only complaint is its too small. I would definitely be looking at the biggest one available when I'm going to replace this one.

As an aside does anyone have a good source for replacemnt parts at a reasonable cost? The mechanism that holds the basket to the base doesn't work anymore on mine so I have to lift the whole base in and out if I just hold the handle the base will just fall off. Its from a lot of use and not very regular cleaning....

The baskets are nearly the price of an airfryer on amazon last time I checked.

mel123 · 24-08-2020 10:46am

i bought this 5 years ago (checked amazon) and to this day its still going strong and i use it almost every single day, most days twice a day. back then i paid 71 pounds for it. they seem to be gone up in popularity hence the price, but when this one is on its last legs ill be defiantly purchasing another one, although this time i would buy the bigger one

Tefral · 24-08-2020 11:29am

There was a deal on Bargain alerts years ago for the standard one and purchased it then. Used every day. Even makes unreal toasties.

Anyway was looking today to replace it as its handle and base are a bit worse for wear. It seems like the XXL is reduced in price at the moment

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-HD9650-99-Collection-Technology/dp/B077ZFCZT3/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=airfryer%2Bxxl&qid=1598259335&sr=8-3&th=1

I wonder does anyone have the xxl version?

Yep, assemble them uncooked place the whole lot in, turn on to 200 and check until the bread is toasted. Cheese perfectly melted on the inside then.

I cooked a steak in it one day, came out very juicy, only thing i could imagine is it seared it all at once.

Yep, did a ribeye recently - simply cos I couldn't keep an eye on a pan at the time. Came out remarkably fine, no turning required!

What's a good price to jump on for the XXL?

Yeah thats my question also really. is reduced on amazon at the moment, but that may not necessarily be a deal.

If you take the basket out you can fit bigger in the regular one. I think I crammed a 1.9kg in it before which was pushing it. 1.5 or 1.6kg easily goes in it. I have a special chip tray from dealz I use to take it in and out. There is a massive thread in the food forum where I posted it.

The volume of the regular is listed by philips, but its all rough estimates anyway, people should look at youtube videos to get an idea.

I would want the 5L powerXL if mine broke, or something even bigger.

The big philips ones can go cheap on amazon.de from time to time.

greasepalm · 24-08-2020 9:56pm

I bought mine years ago and think it was over 200 euro but now i noticed it needs a good service cleaning,anybody strip theirs for cleaning the burnt crap off.

I got that deal...just by chance I was looking at one and I couldn't believe my eyes. So ordered one quickly. Went back on a few mins later to order a 2nd one but price was gone up. Didnt think it would be honoured for £80 but it was and its still in the box upstairs as I was only after purchasing the smaller version at the time. Absolutely love it...its used every day in our house if not 3 times a dayðŸ˜‚

I have an XXL and it's the best purchase ever, have used it every day, often multiple times. My gf was saying she would love an airfryer after using mine, but would want a bigger one haha.

I eventually cleaned mine, it took longer than cleaning my whole apartment, I'm more careful now.

25-08-2020 9:52am

In 4 years+ of almost daily use I've never cleaned the inside of it. I clean the basket about once a week or so, its just too much work cleaning it after every use.

It does smoke when its not cleaned but to get over this I have a table setup outside and I leave it outside for cooking and bring it in again after. Only issue is if its raining.

I'm actually planning to come up with a vent to attach to it like you would have on a vented dryer that you could just hang out the window on one end and cover the airfryer extraction vent on the other thus diverting all some outside.

I dont clean it after every use, but once a week for sure. I spray it with elbow grease, leave it to sit for a while and then bang it in the dishwasher. Couldnt be easier. Not sure if they are 'dishwasher safe' but i can confirm no issues with mine at all, as i said in a previous post 5 years later still going strong

If anyone spots a bargain alert for the XL maybe they could post in here as there is a good few of us looking for one

that sounds like exponentially more effort. I clean it every couple of weeks when it gets smokey, takes about 5 mins if you just soak the basket first

I had the Phillips all along and my latest one for around 3 years changed to a ninja foodie last year and what a machine. It does everything. Has air fryer, pressure cooker , grill function, keep warm and slow cocker all in one .. does a whole large chicken in 30 minutes.

I clean the basket and base about once a week I thought people were referring to the element inside etc?

I use it to cook my frys a few times a week so even after one use its smokey on the next use so more comfort in using it outside. Its pretty much zero effort for the 10 seconds it takes to leave it outside and same to bring it back in.

We had to stop putting it in the dishwasher as everything else in the dishwasher and the dishwasher itself was coming out dirty and greasy after being in with the airfryer even on the highest cycle.

Outkast_IRE · 25-08-2020 12:11pm

I throw mine in the dishwasher after most uses , usually leave it soak for a few mins first . Still in perfect shape after 3 years. I wipe out the inside to get any splatters etc.

I dont cook alot of fatty foods regularly in it so that helps. Mostly use it for homemade chips or wedges coated with a drop of olive oil.

25-08-2020 1:17pm

It’s a lot easier to clean if you only use it for chips, I see my parents only ever wipe it with a wet cloth after use and that’s the only cleaning it gets.

I cook sausages, rashers etc a few times a week in it, burgers, goujons etc along with chips, roasted patatoes that would be well oiled and so on. After about a weeks use I’ll soak it and clean it in the sink but at this stage it’s impossible to fully clean it, there is always a film of grease even after the dishwasher (in the base I mean).

rubadub · 25-08-2020 2:04pm

I clean out loose crud from the bottom but mine is a total state, if I was forced to clean it as much as some people do I would simply not bother using it. Mine sits on the hob so it has a fan above it.

It would take sand blasting to clean mine, it is caked on like a burnt up bbq. There is not much smoke though, if fat does build up around it I boil water in it which cleans some off, then leave it out the back on full heat with nothing in it for 30mins, this burns off anything which will potentially smoke, similar to what some do with a BBQ.

The burnt on crud is not really doing anything other than looking bad, its not going to go mouldy as its sterilized and dried out by the unit.

Some dissolve a dishwashing tablet in the basket and leave it soak, I think there are oven cleaning fluids in dealz which are cheap enough too.

MrStuffins · 25-08-2020 2:22pm

Doesn't everyone just do what I do and put some tinfoil in the base to catch all the crud?

Tar.Aldarion · 25-08-2020 3:08pm

I have never noticed any "smoking" from my xxl, nothing at all.

I'd imagine it would impact the performance since the base is designed to help with air circulation.

It makes it slower and cook more on the top vs underneath so you have to flip the stuff
