Let’s take a closer look at the Philips 9216/41 airfryer, with Rapid Air Technology.

This model from is at the more affordable end in the Philips range of air fryers. It can bake, roast and grill so it’s a versatile model for cooking for the family. There’s glowing reviews left by customers over at Amazon, click here to view them.

This model is different from other models in the Philips range in that the colour is dark grey rather than gloss black. It has a similar design though to the HD9220/20 but with small cosmetic differences. There’s no digital controls with this model, it simply has two built in dials to control the timer and cooking temperature. Some people prefer this simplicity rather the digital controls and display on other models. The cooking timer can be set for up to 30 minutes, which may not be enough for some foods but you can easily adjust it to increase the cooking time once it has ticked down. The temperature control can be adjusted from 80°C to 200°C, and that temperature range is consistent across all the Philips air fryers models (with the exception of the HD9650/99 which has a keep warm feature).

There’s a cooking capacity of 0.8kg which makes it the smallest of the Philips range, so may not be enough if you’re cooking for larger families. However, in our opinion, this model would be suitable for cooking for 2-4 people.

The basket is easily removed using the single handle which feels comfortable in the hand.

Of the several air fryers in the Philips range, the HD9650/99 is the premium model featuring a large capacity for family cooking. As with other models in the Philips range, this model will fry, grill and bake so it’s a versatile addition to any kitchen.

The HD9650/99 fryer has the familiar gloss black finish with single handle for the cooking basket. The timer (up to 60 mins) and temperature controls are digital that uses an easy to use dial on the front of the fryer. There’s 5 one-touch preset cooking programmes which allow you to cook frozen foods, fish, chicken, meat and cakes with ease. A nice feature of this air fryer is the keep warm function, for up to 30 minutes. The temperature control can be adjusted from 40°C (keep warm setting) to 200°C.

The unit has a generous capacity of 1.4kg which makes it the largest cooking capacity of the current Philips range, so plenty of room to cater for an entire family. It is the most powerful fryer that Philips produce with an impressive power rating of 2225W. Heat is instantly available as soon as you turn it on.

Less fat

Philips claim their TurboStar technology removes more fat from food by creating a powerful tornado inside the unit during cooking. Admittedly, we haven’t tested this with a side-by-side comparison but all we will say, anything that reduces the fat content of the food we eat, while at the same time maintaining the taste is only a good thing!

Inside the box, you find a recipe book containing 30 inspiring recipes to get started plus instruction book. There’s also a Philips Air Fryer app, full of tutorials, recipes and ideas, available on iOS and Android app stores.

The basket can be easily removed and cleaned either with soap and water in a bowl or can be placed in a dishwasher.

Review feedback

Taking a look at some of the feedback left by buyers of the HD9650/99, overall it has a rating of around 4 stars out of 5.

Several buyers state how easy it is to clean and we would agree. If you’re used to the struggle of cleaning a conventional oven, then you’ll find cleaning this air fryer a much less arduous task.
The extra large capacity is just what some buyers were looking for, so that they could cook for their entire family.
A slight negative wouldd be the level of noise from the fryer, which given it’s extra power and cooking capacity is no surprise. In our opinion, it’s no worse than the sound of a hair dryer, but thought we’d mention it anyway.
It’s worth checking that you have the worktop space for this fryer, as some people found it was larger than they expected.

Many more reviews can be viewed over at Amazon.

Conclusion

The Philips 9650/99 is a extra large capacity, stylish air fryer suitable for cooking for 4-6 people with ease. It’s a premium model and therefore commands a premium price, but if you want quality from an established brand along with the ability to cater for a large family then we’d recommend the Philips HD9650/99.

In this review, we’ll take a closer look at the Philips HD9621/91 Viva Collection Air Fryer.
Philips have several air fryer models in their line up and the HD9621/91 is at the premium end of their range. With this model, you’re able to fry, grill and bake which makes it a versatile choice of health fryer.

Philips Viva Collection Air Fryer hd9621/91 – closer look

Philips are consistent with the look and feel of their air fryers so it’s no surprise that the HD9621/91 fryer is finished in black with manual dials to control the timer and temperature. The timer can be set for up to 30 minutes, which for some foods may not be enough cooking time, but it can be easily adjusted to add more time once it has ticked down. The temperature control can be adjusted from 80°C to 200°C, and that temperature range is consistent across all the Philips air fryers models.

The capacity of 0.8kg is the smallest of the Philips range, so may not be enough if you’re cooking for 4-6 people. Philips do indeed market this model as a compact unit, but it is still capable of cooking for a family of 2-4.

The great thing about this and most other air fryers is the fast cooking, thanks to the instant heat. There’s no need to wait for it to warm up, cooking starts the moment you press the start button. The TurboStar technology is designed to cook food that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Inside the box, you find a 200 inspiring recipes book to get you started plus instruction book. There’re no accessories included with this model such as a grill pan for example, but this can be bought as an added extra if required. You can find a grill pan to fit this model also on Amazon. There’s also a mesh fitment which can be used to raise food up from the base of the cooking basket to that food doesn’t end up swimming in fat (it is a health fryer afterall!).

The basket can be easily removed thanks to the EasyClick removable handle Philips have designed into this model. The cooking basket is easy to clean, either with soap and water in a bowl or can be placed in a dishwasher.

If you’re placing the fryer below a kitchen cupboard then allow for 30cm of clearance to store the unit.
At 1425W, it’s quite a powerful model that will easily cook your favourite foods, the healthy way.

Philips Viva Collection Airfryer – Review feedback

Buyers of this model like the easy clean parts, quietness and ability to cook delicious chips.
Some have noted that the markings for the control dials are difficult to read in low light.
A familiar comment we often hear about health fryers is the convenience over a standard convectional oven and this HD9621/91 fryer is no different there. You’ll likely use less electricity too by not using your main oven as often.
Some buyers found there was no recipe book included with their fryer. If you find that to be the case, be sure to contact Philips customer care who will arrange to send you one.

Conclusion

The Philips 9621/91 is a compact, stylish and dependable air fryer suitable for cooking for 2-4 people. It’s not the cheapest air fryer on the market especially as it doesn’t include any accessories but if you’re looking for quality backed by an established brand then it’s an ideal choice.
