Amazing product! Consider getting a larger one for cooking got more than 1 person

This cooks great and makes everything taste amazing but the first few weeks it did have a weird plastic smell that eventually went away. I have used this to cook anything and everything, including eggs, chicken, bacon, veggies and even heating up bread. Not one item I’ve cooked has come out tasting bad. I will say I wish I got a bigger basket or even a double basket to make multiple items at once.

Excellent product

I purchased one of the first generation philips airfryers very expensive, it had a screen bottom basket which with its patented base cooked and crisped better and faster than anything else on the market. We liked it so well we purchased another recently just incase the older one broke down. We recently started to use the new one and the first thing we noticed was the basket now looks like everyone else, just a stamped piece of metal. We have found that the cheapness of the basket has rendered the patented bottom useless, it nolonger crisps as it did and takes just as long as the brands half the price.I highly recommend not wasting your money on the brand name and just go cheap because the only brand that really was above the rest nolonger is, it's just charging for a name. If they would provide a screened basket they could solve this but obviously they don't care.

Easy to clean and easy instructions

We purchased an older model air fryer by Phillips several years ago. I think it was called an Avance. It was superior in many ways to this model.First, they changed the way you can remove the basket. If, like us, you open the air fryer and toss the contents, now you have to open the air fryer, push a button, and move a safety switch before you can do that. All the while, valuable heat is lost from the unit. I appreciate safety options more than most people but this design was not adequately tested and is not really safe.Second, when you remove the basket, the whole assembly drops out of the air fryer unit. The older model had the basket in a drawer that pulled out on a slide. The slide held the drawer in place. Now, when you pull the basket out, there's nothing that holds the drawer in place so the entire [very hot] assembly drops on your counter. Now we're buying a silicone mat to protect our counter. Alert: you need a silicone mat that's about 12" square and those aren't easy to find.Our last big problem is that there's no preheat for the temperature. Phillips seems to want you to use all of their presets but we don't agree with the time or the temperature. Which is also a problem. Adding to the fact that the unit won't preheat, you have to guess at how much time to add for cooking.Disclosure: we use our air fryer for a lot of reheating and particularly like the fact that we can reheat take out to remove excess oil. We just miss the old features that made this unit so good and can't see a way to rate it much higher.
