Our Full Product Review:
Philips Essential Air fryer HD9260/91 is the smaller version of HD9650/99.
It is designed for those who need the same technology within a smaller version and less price. This one comes with Philips patent Rapid Air Technology that enables you to grill, roast, air fry, and bake as well in this one appliance. Let’s review the air fryer in detail.
Design
Philips HD9260/91 comes with a simple yet stylish design. Its exterior is made of high-quality plastic and resists scratches or stains.
The lower drawer of the air fryer is removable with a cool-touch handle. It features a mesh basket inside that circulates the air to all ingredients. The food basket has a square design that means there is more space for cooking. The excessive oil and water also drip down to the lower drawer through this mesh.
The air fryer features a simple touch control. A retractable cord at the back of the air fryer is convenient and keeps your workplace neat and organized.
Capacity
The air fryer comes with a medium capacity. It is not a small air fryer but not an extra-large design as well. Its 7 litres capacity means it can fit almost 1.5 kg of food, which is good enough to cook up to five portions. It’s an ideal size for a medium family of 4-5 people.
Rapid Air Technology
The air fryer features Philips’s patented Rapid Air technology for cooking food. The heated air circulates food at speed and sends heat to food. The speed of air and the high temperature gives a crunch to your food without any oil.
Display
It’s a digital air fryer that not only makes cooking easy but gives precise control on time and temperature. The air fryer features a digital display which is very convenient and easy for users. The simple touch options on the screen make cooking hassle-free. You can adjust the time and temperature or on/ off the appliance from here.
The control does not offer too many preset cooking options, which is a big bummer with this design. You can adjust the time or required temperature manually.
Temperature Control
You can adjust your required temperature depending on the type of food you are cooking inside the air fryer. It can be adjusted from 800 – 2000.
Time Range
The air fryer can be set for up to 30 minutes. Time range is the amount of time you can adjust in the air fryer, but that does not mean you cannot cook longer recipes in this air fryer. Only you have to reset the time after 30 minutes, depending on how long you need to cook more.
Cooking Functions
The air fryer uses its Rapid Air Technology to bake, grill, roast, and air fry conveniently. Different cooking options help you to use the air fryer for a variety of food.
Ease Of Cleaning
The air fryer comes with easy-to-clean removable parts. These removable parts are dishwasher safe, or you can clean them easily under tap water. Just make sure you clean the air fryer as early after you take out the food as possible. The food grains or pieces may be stuck in the mesh basket if you leave them on your kitchen counter without washing. The nonstick coating inside the food drawer does not stick with the dripped off fat and liquid.
The outside body of the air fryer is also easy to maintain. You can wipe it clean with a kitchen towel from time to time.
Power Capacity
It’s a high-powered air fryer that can cook food in a snap. It features 2100 watts of motor that produce heat faster and thus gives quick results. Cooking becomes not only easy but less time-consuming with this air fryer.
Recipe Book
Philips HD9260/91 comes with a small recipe book as well. It gives multiple creative and healthy food options and helps you make the most out of your air fryer.
You can also download the Philips NutriU app and help yourself with hundreds of more recipes, ideas, and tips for using air fryers.
Our Verdict:
Overall, it’s a reliable air fryer that makes healthy food tasty and easy to cook. Its large capacity makes it perfect for cooking family meals at once. The digital control and Philips Rapid air technology give near to perfect results every time you use the air fryer. Its great performance and long-lasting durability give actual value for your money.
