I was reading a lot of this product review even one said that it was smoking they show the video I know for a fact thing could come defective sometimes because all products are man maid I just think that when you do have situations like that just either contact Amazon and have it exchange or returned period..I could say that so far is working great, cook great , quality is great the food come out just right, the price for this size and type of big air fryer is reasonable to me I was looking for something this big event though I do have enough from ninja with two trays and is great too I just wanted another kinda round like this one live it though..great item I do recommend just remember it just come damaged returned or exchange it it's a freaking good air fryer. and also the packaging was amazing.

Love this air fryer. Larger basket is squared not round. Holds quite a lot of food. Easy to set controls.

I love it but it has no smoke filter so you must use it in a ventilated area if you cook foods with low smoke points.

I own a smaller Philips air fryer model HD9621 that unit works great. It is a few years old now, and while it mostly handles the food volume perfectly for two people, it doesn't handle the volume that you would have for four or more.

To accommodate having friends and family over where the air fryer would be used, it was time to shop for a larger capacity model. While there are similar capacity models available that have a smaller price tag, I opted to remain loyal to Philips brand name. All of the Philips brand items that I have used over the years have been trouble free and are still working.

There are some particular aspects of this unit that I would like to call out.
1) Temperature settings change in 25 degree steps. 300 to 325 to 350, etc. In all of the time that I used my older HD9621 model, I never found it necessary to cook at 315 degrees, for example. All cooking or reheating was at the "typical" temperature settings that these 25-degree graduations work fine for.
2) The basket for food does not "click" into the overall basket, which is not a real issue, but it did take a little adjusting to since the HD9621 does click together.
3) the overall size of the food basket doesn't "look" that much larger than the HD9621 basket, even though it is rated almost two times the capacity. Visual appearances can be deceiving. I have already found I can cook more in than I could in the smaller HD9621.
4) The XXL series has a very large footprint on your counter. If you are going to keep it out all the time, this may not be an issue. If you want to be able to store it away, it requires a good deal of space planning. Pay attention to the published dimensions, and if you have a tough time visualizing them, do yourself a favor and use a ruler or tape measure to better understand how large this appliance is.

In my opinion, the cooking surface area has a better coating than Philips was using originally in their air fryers, and it cleans up easily enough.

In the end, yes, I would purchase this again. I would recommend it to friends and family.

This is a beast of a machine and works so well! We love it & will probably only use the microwave for popcorn & soup from now on. It has replaced our toaster oven for everything but pizzas. I reheated a toasted sub from a sub shop & it was just like a fresh one! Love this!
