Hahaha I actually have a Phillips sonicare, only Phillips for this because they give you a 5 year extended warranty. I have had 2 replaced so far.

Only one of the reviewers had access to a Philips Airfryer and rated as the most durable.Philips does not feature as the best option in most reviews online. Just get what works for you.

The others have not tested it, so no sponsorship from Philips there.
Ninja seems to populate the US and UK market. Philips is too expensive there.
Ironically If Ninja does come to South Africa it will probably be more expensive than the Philips XL.

no phillips anywhere
dont know what these guys are smoking
but again like keyboard warriors these are keyboard chefs
@epah is a keyboard billionaire
They own the SA market, but it's a third world product. Mediocracy suits a simplistic palate quite nicely.

They all are. Even Ninja is made in third world China.
China is largely considered to be a second world country.

I think airfry as a verb is safe from Philip's trademark attorneys.

Enjoy your broodjie.
Probably, but dehyd is not
I got this:
Much more practical.
Btw, the last time I checked this was available for R2000 from Game under the Hisense brand. Identical.

Past owner of two Philips XXLs checking in - first one died two months before the warranty expired, was fixed and then dies again a year later. Made the mistake of replacing like for like, and eventually we gave the replacement away to a family member who wanted one.
Now have the Milex French door style one - and in our experience so much better than the Philips or the basket/dish type appliances. With racks and shelves, much more even cooking, easy to layer and much simpler to clean totally.

I am loving my Instant Vortex. The basket makes sense for me, and because of that beautiful non-stick coating it takes just some soapy water and a few wipes and the thing is clean.

Anyone with feedback on this Instant Vortex Airfryer? @killerbyte I'm looking at getting my wife one for Christmas to save her some time and to save on the cost of gas which is becoming expensive. Importantly, can it cook an above average size farm chicken?

That’s the nanny air fryer. Comes with a pre heat and turn halfway feature you can’t turn off. Avoid

Besides a Philips and in that sort of price class (R1800 - R2200) what would you recommend?

Probably Xiaomi but it's small.

We have a 40 year old Kenwood Chef with absolutely no problems in all those years and a Kenwood bread machine so am quite trusting of the brand. Maybe this one.....

Is an air fryer a fad or a useful appliance?

Should be fine.
It still makes the news years later so clearly not a fad.
