Wonder which Philips air fryers are the best? Keep reading and find out!

#1 Philips HD9650/96 Digital Twin TurboStar XXL Air Fryer

Philips HD9650/96 is an air fryer with 4.7 quart capacity which is enough to cook for 2-4 people. It’s equipped with 1750 watt heating element and has selectable temperature range of 100°F to 400°F (40°C to 200°C).

Cooking

Philips HD9650/96 really does cook well. It makes food crispy on outside without losing any moisture inside. The end result is that food tastes great and is healthy as you don’t have to use cooking oil.

Works great for cooking many different foods including french fries, onion rings, steaks, chicken wings, veggies, pork chops, bacon, fish, shrimp and more!

Philips HD9650/96 XXL air fryer has 5 cooking presets/cooking programs: french fries/frozen snacks, chicken, meat, fish and baking. They only choose the temperature so you have to set time yourself.

Quality

Philips HD9650/96 is well made. It feels sturdier than some of the other similarly sized air fryers which is to be expected as they are typically less expensive. It must be said that some air fryers do have metal housing (Philips HD9650/96 has plastic) so those might feel sturdier but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are better made.

Features

Philips HD9650/96 has cool wall exterior (housing doesn’t get hot making it safe to touch), cord storage, non-slip feet and automatic shut-off feature.

Accessories

Even though Philips HD9650/96 air fryer doesn’t come with accessories you can buy them separately. Some of the available accessories include:

• Snack cover (HD9954/01)
• Pizza baking kit (HD9953/00)
• Grill accessory kit (HD9951/01)
• Baking pan (HD9952/01)
• Double layer rack (HD9950/01)

One thing to note is that they are a bit expensive so most probably won’t buy them.

Verdict

Overall Philips HD9650/96 is a really solid air fryer that works well however it’s a bit expensive so value for money might not be as good as you get with other manufacturers (like Ninja, Cosori, GoWise USA, Chefman or Cuisinart). With that being said if you ask which Philips air fryer is the best then answer to that question is HD9650/96.

#2 Philips HD9741/99 3-Quart Air Fryer

Philips HD9741/99 is an air fryer with 3 quart cooking basket (adequate to cook for 2 persons) and 1425 watt heating element.

Cooking

Philips HD9741/99 is another air fryer that does a good job of cooking your food properly and making it delicious. French fries come out crispy on outside yet soft on inside without using any oil (however spraying some does make them even crispier).

Philips HD9741/99 also works great for reheating leftovers. Even though they don’t taste quite as good as fresh they do taste a lot better than if you reheat them in microwave.

Philips HD9741/99 has 4 presets: frozen fries, meat, fish and chicken drumsticks.

Controls

Philips HD9741/99 is equipped with display screen, dial for adjustments and only 5 physical buttons making it rather simple to use.

Features

Philips HD9741/99 features include cool wall exterior, dishwasher safe cooking basket and non-slip feet at the bottom of the air fryer.

Fat removal technology

Philips HD9741/99 has “Fat removal technology” that apparently reduces fat content in food by up to 90% compared to other air fryers or regular oven. We can’t say for sure how realistic this claims are or where it is coming from (the nature of tests that would show real life applicability or inapplicability) but we are just letting you know that Philips does advertise such thing.

Verdict

Philips HD9741/99 is another great air fryer that is a bit on expensive side. It really is a good air fryer but again, value for money might not be the best in this case.
