Philips Airfryer - anyone have?

Arthur said:
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?

That is very strange.

180c and 8 minutes and mine is already charcoal I can’t imagine 18.

Also weight.

The whole box and parts of it can’t possibly all have the same cooking time.

So a question. All these crumbed precooked stuff you buy, they have all been fried in oil and then frozen. So does that not kind off defy the argument of healthy air fryer with less oil?

And no I don't care about the oil, if oil is need to make something taste better then so be it. Just asking as many always claim the health benefits.

Yup health benefits were never my goal.

But I have to also say there’s quite some difference between pre-fried and frozen cooked again vs freshly made and drenched in oil and I would think it relates mostly to volume being far less or the break down of oil.

So at the end of the day pretty sure you still get less oil in the mix.

If I didn’t have each separate device already would definitely have considered it an option.

Does it have a digital timer and can you cancel it half way through the countdown?
I saw on the cheapie Philips model a major complaint was the timer was analog(wtf) and if you wanted to cut the cooking short you have to unplug the whole thing and wait for it to run out.

Erm…you just turn the analog timer down.

No need to unplug anything.

It works well - wife is using it every day. I can see how a bigger single basket could be beneficial - but for us, this works.

You could just check online if they have it in stock, why do you need to speak to a human about it?

When something is shown as out of stock but I know it is still being manufactured and sold elsewhere and I email them to ask for an ETA and they just don't reply
