Philips Airfryer - anyone have?

Hey Members. I'm looking for some advice on which of the following Philips Airfryers, Would be the best.

PHILIPS XL MODEL: HD9270
R1.900 +-
the cons of this one seems to be glossy plastic build.
Unsure if it's durable scratches/more cleaning?
Lacks compatibility with the Philips grill tray kit. Is this an issue ?
Doesn't have "Fat Removal Feature" ?

PHILIPS XXL CONNECTED MODEL: HD9285
R2.999 currently at Takealot.
This seems to not be a true replacement for the old "XXL PREMIUM" model.
It seems to be just a bigger version of the XL / budget XXL?
I like that it has a matt build. So this should keep it looking good in the long run.

Cons: few reviews on takealot said it's louder then the XL. and about 5 reviews said it gave up after one use.
Also not sure if it lacks any features vs the XL/PREMIUM XXL.
I see on the Philips website this model has "Rapid Air technology" vs on the XL "Patented Rapid Air" and on the premium XXL "Advanced Rapid Heat"

PHILIPS PREMIUM XXL MODEL: HD9650
R2.499 Currently at checkers.
Cons: It's an older model.
Some reviews say it dries out food and the XL model is a better buy?
I read online that this model sucks air out of the food vs the others which blow air.

Any XXL, because nice size. However, I prefer the one with the Mesh basket and the drawer mechanism.

The XXL HD9650 for R2 499 is an excellent price. Get it!

Yeah, its all marketing BS.
"Fat removal" ? It is literally where the food is separated from the bottom so the fat can drip down and not touch the food. 99% of all air fryers is designed like that. You have a basket where the food is in and the fat drip to the bottom. No need to call it "Fat removal"

"Rapid air technology" Just more BS. All air fryers are small convection ovens. They have an element with a fan blowing. rapid air is just more BS marketing.

There is no such thing as sucking out air of the food, There is no vacuum in air friers. yes they all have an element with a fan. That is why you get crispy food easily, but also can get dried out food easily if you not watch what you doing.

All brand of air fryers is more or less the same and cooks more or less the same. Choose whatever size and shape you like and whatever one you think quality will be the best

Thank You for all the responses.

Is the grill kit a necessary accessories for meat?
Or just another gimmick?
I see there’s no third party grill accessories.
