Scenario | Use |
---|---|
Weekday dinner | We tested the Philips Airfryer XXL to cook chicken fillet with French fries for a regular dinner. The air fryer was heated for 3 minutes and the chicken was cooked for 15 minutes at 180 degrees. French fries were cooked at the same time in the upper basket using the automatic program. |
Weekend brunch | For a larger brunch, the Airfryer XXL was used to bake croissants and fry bacon. The croissants were heated for 5 minutes at 160 degrees using the hot air function. The bacon was cooked for 8 minutes at 200 degrees and became crispy without the need for adding fat. |
Children's party | At a children's party, the Airfryer XXL was put to work cooking mini pizzas and chicken nuggets. The pizzas were cooked for 8 minutes at 200 degrees and the nuggets for 12 minutes at 180 degrees. With the large capacity, we were able to cook food for six children in just two batches. |
Healthy cooking | To test the health aspect, we cooked vegetables and salmon. The vegetables were steamed using the steam function for 7 minutes at 160 degrees. The salmon was then cooked for 10 minutes at 180 degrees with a minimal amount of oil. The fat reduction function collected excess fat. |
The Philips Airfryer XXL is particularly suitable for larger families or people who often cook for several people. It is practical for those who want to cook healthier versions of fried food with less oil. It is also useful for people who are short on time and appreciate quick cooking without having to stand at the stove. However, the kitchen needs to have enough counter space because the machine takes up space. It also works great for those who like to prepare several dishes at the same time or want to be able to cook larger portions of chicken, fries or vegetables at once.
(4.8/5) Build quality – The Philips Airfryer XXL shows impressive build quality with a rating of 4.8, which is the highest of all the models tested. The materials feel stable and well-made, with a construction that gives the impression of lasting. Compared to the Ninja Foodi (4.6) and especially the Tefal Easy Fry Compact (3.8), the Philips offers a sense of solidity that justifies the high rating.
(4.5/5) Ease of use – With a rating of 4.5, the Philips Airfryer XXL ranks just below the Cosori Smart Wifi (4.7) in terms of ease of use. The analog control panel is easy to understand and use, but lacks the smart features that the Cosori offers. However, it is more user-friendly than the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone (4.3), which has more features to keep track of.
(4.7/5) Cooking uniformity – With a 4.7 rating for cooking uniformity, the Philips Airfryer XXL performs best in this category. The heat circulation distributes heat effectively even when the basket is full, giving more even results than the competition. The Ninja Foodi comes closest with a 4.5, while the Tefal Easy Fry Compact (3.7) struggles to match the performance with its smaller size and power.
(4.9/5) Capacity – The Philips Airfryer XXL gets almost a full pot (4.9) for its 7.3-liter capacity, making it one of the most spacious models in the test. Only the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone (4.8) with its 7.6 liters comes close. Compared to the Tefal Easy Fry Compact (3.2) with just 3.5 liters, the difference is significant, making the Philips a better choice for larger households.
(3.9/5) Price performance – With a rating of 3.9, the price-performance ratio is the Philips Airfryer XXL's weakest point. Here it comes last among the tested models. Tefal Easy Fry Compact (4.7) and Cosori Smart Wifi (4.5) offer better value for money. The high price of the Philips is justified by the superior performance, but for the price-conscious there are better alternatives.
The Philips Airfryer XXL stands out as a reliable, large-capacity air fryer that can cook for the whole family. It delivers consistent cooking results thanks to its efficient heat circulation, and the simple control panel makes it user-friendly for most people. Although it takes up space on the counter and draws more energy than smaller models, its performance and durability make it a good choice for households that want an air fryer that can handle larger portions with good results.
We do not make any money if you choose to place an order.
The Philips Airfryer XXL and the Cosori Smart Wifi represent two different approaches to air fryers. The Philips model offers a significantly larger capacity of 7.3 liters compared to the Cosori's 5.5 liters, making it better suited to larger families. The Philips also has higher power with its 2225 watts compared to the Cosori's 1700 watts, which provides faster heating. However, the Cosori has more preset programs (11 compared to 5) and smart features with wifi connectivity that the Philips lacks. The Cosori is also lighter and takes up less space, while the Philips has a reputation for delivering particularly even cooking results even when the basket is full.
