Philips Airfryer - anyone have?

Send it back - sounds like a dud. It should be burnt to a crisp 18 minutes in.

Oven cooked bacon is better though.

At least with an Airfryer you don't lose braincells when taking out food from an oven. :p

You realise that sentence makes no sense in its current form? Do you want to try again?

Huh?
If your remote viewing sense were more developed than your presumption and rudeness then you would this morning have seen exactly what I described above.

This is the 2nd time I've used this airfryer, purchased new from Takealot.

Something's clearly not right.

I've done this many times before on the Ninja 4 Qt, with complete satisfaction. For a reason unknown to me this Philips just doesn't cut it. At least not for bacon.

Not using any baking paper? You shouldn't anyway but just checking.

There is no problem using 'baking paper' if it's well perforated. I only use it when I do chicken with a lot of basting. It does however slow down the cooking by a bit, but marginally.
 
Haven't bought these Spar Southern style wings in a while but wonted to stock up on a few since I will be on night shift this coming week but damn these are now R62.

Recently bought a Philips HD9270 XL, mainly to do bacon.

What a disappointment.

After 18 minutes on the default temp of 180 deg C the bacon is still grey and floppy. I want properly crisped bacon.

The Ninja airfryer I have at my place in the US does the bacon perfectly in 7-8 minutes. And US bacon is thicker than typical SA cuts.

I've taken a quick squizz around the ruddy machine to see if all the factory plastic is removed, and it seems clear.

Any experienced airfryer aces have any suggestions?

I know these Philips air fryers are not very good, but it should not be that bad.
Many people have complained about rust and also fans packing up. Maybe some rust got in the fan while standing in Takealot warehouse.
Philips are known for some bad quality control, so maybe just return it for a new one.
If you can get a refund, maybe look at some better brands like Safeway, Salton, Goldair, Xiaomi, HappyStar, FryNolongTime etc,

I agree. Anyone who has an oven, then buys an air fryer has no brain cells to loose. These things are a waste of money - As much a gimmick as the bottled water hype...

Funny I upgraded a Philips Hair cutter yesterday after 6 years and it's still perfect. Paid for itself many times over.

It's actually saving me money. Paid for itself already.

Uhm. I can cook food in it in under 10 minutes.

Something that's very hard to do on a stove or oven. By the time my stove heats up the oil or the oven preheat I'm done eating said food from the airfryer

Lol cannot cook in one batch? Shame.

1. You do realise my basket is double the size of yours?
2. Two different things that need different times and temps.
3. Even if I decided to add chips last 10min with meat. Chips needs to be shaken once or twice during cook. As you can see meat is pulling away from bone. So if I kept meat with chips and shake it, the meat would fall of the bone

But you do you and keep heating up your mini pizzas in your Philips. No skills involved
