Philips Airfryer - anyone have?

How does the timer work on those Analog airfryers, does the timer pause when you open the drawer and resume when you push it back in?
I see the analog as being an advantage because turning a knob is much faster than tapping repeatedly on a display.

You don’t tap repeatedly you can just hold it in.
 
So with my Philips X/XL deteriorating to the point where it's unsafe to consume food from it due to the non-stick basically rusting off I have decided to join the dark side entirely.

My microwave still works but the LCD has gotten very wonky and the toaster has also been doing funny **** lately so my plan is to get rid of Air Fryer, Microwave and Toaster and drop this in place of them all instead.

Mate from the UK is bringing me a secondary Air Fryer basket, which does mean you need to actually shake it up and flip it around which isn't necessary when only using one, but even so I expect it will be a rare occasion as the design of a massive wide basket like this already means I can cook way more at any one time.

What really won me over is that you can do pizza in this thing too and it even comes with the pizza tray to do it.

Sadly we don't get the bigger unit here which also has a dehydration and proofing function. Possibly you can manually dial those in but I have a feeling it won't allow the temperature to go as low as 25-degrees which the proofing mode requires.

Will be a bonus is my Le Creuset bread oven can fit inside, but not a deal breaker if it can't.

Great thing is that the bottom just slides out as a drip/crumb tray and it along with any of the racks can just go into the dishwasher without consuming half of the bloody thing like the Philips does at the moment.

What is that?
Being able to dehydrate food is a winner, pity that model doesn't have it.

It’s a Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer.

10 smart cooking functions, including Air Fry.

Basically a fancy convection oven with the benefit of a mesh style basket and directed air flow for Air Frying.

It’s also repairable much like a regular oven, but without the ridiculous pre-heating time.

What's the highest temp, does it get hot enough for bread?

So another Philips rusted to its death.

You can't make this stuff up.

In fairness I suspect it was my fault cleaning it with oven cleaner at one point combined with my domestic not understanding how to clean nonstick stuff nicely.

It has been a good 7 years I suspect, which is a pretty good innings.

If it wasn’t for the multi-device usage replacement I’m considering then I would have just bought one of those dual basket ones now.
