If you’re looking for an extra large air fryer to feed a family with big appetites then the Philips HD9240/90 Avance is worthy of consideration. If you’ve read our review of the HD9220, then consider this 9240/90 to be the bigger brother of that model.

Its Rapid Air Technology means it can bake, fry, roast and grill without oil, meaning you can enjoy your favourite foods, cooked just how to like them but without the calories of regular deep fat frying.

The Philips Avance has been designed to allow excess fat to drain away from the food during the cooking process – so even less calories in your food. Can you see why air fryers like this are also known as health fryers!?

When you open the Philips Avance box, there’s a recipe book included to help you get you started with some delicious recipe ideas. You’ll be cooking healthy meals for your family in no time at all, with 30 recipes to choose from ranging from chocolate brownies to delicious quiches. Also included in the box is the guarantee information and user manual.

We particularly like the clear and easy to use digital display, which shows cooking time and temperature.
The black, sleek look to this air fryer will blend in with most kitchens and your visitors will be intrigued to what the appliance is.
As for the technical specifications, this fryer has is powerful 2100W and has a cooking capacity of 3 litres – ideal if you have 4-6 people to feed.

Easy to use

As we’ve already mentioned, this fryer is so simple to use – you only need to set the cooking temperature and timer on the touch sensitive screen. Within 3 minutes, your Philips Avance will be up to the desired cooking temperature so that you can start cooking. This is the great thing about all air fryers – they allow you start cooking your food much sooner than a conventional oven would.

One concern we often hear about air fryers is, “Do they cause cooking odours in the kitchen?”. It’s a fair question, as the word “frying” is often associated with deep fat frying which we all know leaves a lingering odour in the kitchen. Philips have addressed the issue of cooking odours by fitting an integrated air filter which ensures there won’t be any lingering smells in your kitchen.
For your peace of mind, there’s a 2 year warranty that comes with this fryer.

The height of the unit is approximately 31cm so will fit under most kitchen cupboards.

Cooking Versatility

You’ll love the versatility this fryer provides as it can bake, grill and roast your favourite foods, so you can enjoy delicious, healthy meals cooked just how you like them.

Cleaning up

Philips have designed in easy cleaning by making the removable drawer and food basket dishwasher safe. Simply pop those items into your dishwasher to clean them after cooking. (Depending on what you’ve cooked, you may only need to wipe them clean with kitchen towel)

Customer feedback

Let’s take a look now at some of the review comments left by buyers of this model.
Buyers comment often about the large capacity and power of the fryer and how easy it copes with cooking whole chickens.
Several buyers commented how they wouldn’t like to be without their Philips Avance now and use it daily to cook their meals.
They also like how much more economical using an air fryer is over a conventional electric oven.

Concluding thoughts

This powerful air fryer looks the part and doesn’t fail to deliver on the cooking quality you’d expect from a Philips model. Its large capacity will suit larger families who enjoy eating a range of healthy but tasty foods. There’s no rotating paddle on this fryer as there is with other fryers on the market but that shouldn’t put you off this premium air fryer from Philips. A quick shake of the basket at mid-cooking time and your food will be evenly cooked.
