NEW: Philips Airfryer Long Term (2 year) Review + Fish Taco Recipe: czcams.com/video/h0Y7Q8IguN8/video.html
Tefal actifry is better i have both. it only takes longer when the frites are done.
@@remykisjes821 so...you suggest tefal than phillips?
@@brigitadamastuti6536 yes i do 🙂
@@remykisjes821 thank you 🙏
I hope it's not too late@@brigitadamastuti6536 just go for convection countertop oven. Maybe look at higher watts & fan power.
The Tefal has a fixed temp of 338F...not 400 as mentioned in the video...and the Philips was cooked at 350F. Therefore the Tefal chips were a little undercooked in 15 minutes. It just needed a few more minutes of cooking time. Knowing the cooking Temp of the Tefal, my chips turn out perfectly...crispy on the outside and perfect inside...it's all a matter of time...and these ones in the video were not given the correct cooking time for the Tefal unit.
I've been using T-fal for more than 3years and still working great.
Love our T-fal !
lol had mine for 2 years and the coil burt out but i USED IT ALOOT i love it. deffenely got my moneys worth
Sehyun Park same here! Love Love my TFal.
Based on my experience, I don’t follow exactly the recipe book but I rather adjust the minutes from my past experiences ...
After couple trials now I know exactly how long I should set it up ... 👍👍
I just bought one !
I have one for more than 5 years, and it still works. I love it. I also bought a tray that gets inside the Actifry and allows cooking delicate food like fish or breaded chicken. The tray moves around but there is no paddle.
@@jasonclegg1999 y
If the Tefal chips are undercooked, then why didn't you put them in for a few minutes longer? Instead of evaluating how good the product was you instead evaluated how accurate the recipe instructions were and that is not useful to those deciding on which product is best.
N.B , she could have cooked longer but that wasn't the test it was test was for how it turned out after so many minutes for each fryer which after following brand instructions will give you an idea of the result.
Yes, thats right
@ So why would they want a product that takes 10-15 minutes longer to produce the same end product? And if Philips paid, then good for Flo and Dude!
The other thing, when I looked at someone who liked the tfal, he said after a couple of minutes of cooking, when the good bunches up, just spread it out, one time, and it will be good from there. With how they are bunched together like that, they won't cook evenly.
Yeah the Tefal instructions clearly suggest that it needs 20-22 mins for 250gr standard size chips, and 24-26 mins for 500gr.
So since they're claiming they go by the instructions manual, they should have adjusted the time accordingly too.
The Philips doesn't rotate the contents so you have to keep doing it manually! The Tefal does, surely the Tefal is better if the correct settings are applied?
I love the way you mentioned the clean up, which is most important when purchasing kitchen appliances.
When the manufacturer states the preparation time of 30-32min (Tefal) how can you do the test 15min ??? This is not a fair test, it's like comparing gasoline diesel engines, everyone has different time on the road, this test is a visible advertisement to Philips.
lubos pokorny Well this proves that Phillips cooks and delivers in much shorter time comparing to Tfal
Simply, they cook yam instead of potatoes!
The youtuber did not deny your claim this is advertising for Phillips
@@dbtranpal he is Right....Many Tests run thatway...it is Nearly uninteresting....
how do you Make Fries in the Oven? Looking on the Package? Or looking when they are done...? You nearly Never will get a Perfect meal, if you do Not Use your eyes....
They Should make a Huge Portion and make them so Perfect it is possiible and then they can say....a in x Minutes n in y Minutes...but the Most interesting who Has the Best possible Taste in the result
Every machine can get 10 Fries crispy...do the Whole thing Full and than we can say it...
Thats What I thought
I like my T-Ful, the paddle for stir fried vegetables is the best . I cooked cauliflower ad mushrooms . The paddle can be removed if you wish when you cook the fish and meat or put the paddle back in the middle of the cooking depends on food. The cooking time for the fries should be more than 15min on T-ful. The comparison between these 2 units unfairly. The lid, paddle, air filter are easily be removed and easy to wash or toss in dishwasher. I love my T-Ful after being search and read all the reviews, I decided T-Ful.
I took the word of videos like this and went the other way for a while. Everything was good but not great. Glad you made the choice you did.
When you remove the paddle, what would happen to the hole? Do we need any accessories to cover it?
Well well well, I have my Tefal deep fryer for 35 years and it s still running well and easy to clean. None of my fries are oily if you know how to proceed.
'I believe they are very different machines.'
*Then proceeds to set the timer on 15 minutes for both of them even if the Tefal actifry clearly indicates that French fries require 29 minutes to cook.*
I am so surprised they came up undercooked.
I have two air fryers, a Phillips XL and a Farberware. They both cook close to the same amount of time, the Phillips XL slightly faster. I do like the basket design better on the Phillips XL, it slides out like a kitchen drawer and then you lift out only the basket, I also purchased the grill pan basket which is good for steaks ect. As for the cookbook manuals, I usually cook higher temperature than they say. The Phillips XL only goes to 390 and that is the temp I use on most foods. For example, cut up floured chicken wings, 20-22 minutes at 390 in the Phillips XL flipping at at 18 minutes. Now that's for my desired doneness, other may prefer more or less.
I have found the easiest way to clean the Phillips is to absorb the excess oil on tissue, fill both pieces with hot soapy water while I eat. Then use a dish brush to scrub both pieces. The brush is especially efficient cleaning the mesh. The thing about the Phillips that I don’t like is the white smoke that comes out the back when doing pieces of chicken etc. I trim all fat possible and drain excess fat during cooking. Anyone else have this problem? I have found that by putting pieces of bread in the bottom of the fryer helps this problem. Otherwise this is a very good machine that I use often.
I was looking up ways to use my Actifry I got as a gift, and came here out of curiosity. This left me rather confused, because my unit does amazing batches of fries in 20-25 minutes. 15 isn't nearly enough for this unit simply because of the way it cooks, I could tell immediately when I saw that this wasn't going to work out and be an unfair result
That one reason why it lost, takes too long. Since the Philips has adjustable temp control, they could have upped the temp for an even shorter time.
@@red94mr28 it did lose, what you’re not seeing is that to get fries browned that well in an air fryer you have to shake every few minutes, you can even see that the air fryer fries are raw at one end and crispy at the other where as the actifry looks like they were cooking at an even rate
@@acelilumelody4445 I saw the Philips fry have browning where the TFal looked uncooked. I guess that's why Dude said it was under cooked and the Philips was crispy on the outside and "soft" inside. It doesn't matter to me, I decided to go with the GoWISE Air Fryer Oven from Amazon. It is greatly superior to both in many ways and is small at 11.5 x 12 x 14 inches. It cooks fries evenly in 15 minutes without needing to be shaken at all, much less "every few minutes". Much more cooking space, can cook with food on 2 separate racks, a rotisserie skewer feature for chicken, a dehydrate setting for jerky/fruit/veggies, a fish/steak cage and a rotisserie basket for popcorn, etc. I spray Pam on the rack before cooking so all I have to do for cleanup is put the rack in the dishwasher and wipe down the drip tray. This video helped me decided that both the Philips and TFal designs were limited and lacked useful features.
Unfair, possibly. Proving the Tfal unit is utterly inefficient compared to the Philips, absolutely.
Unfair, possibly. Proving the Tfal unit is utterly inefficient compared to the Philips, absolutely.
the clean up review is super helpful I hand wash my dishes. I've been leaning to get a phillips air fryer, thanks for the review of washing by hand.
I have both, and they are used differently. When cooking large quantity of fries, the T-Fal is better as the fries are moved around by the paddle, set it and forget it. But the Phillips I have to open it up multiple times and shake to ensure even cooking, or cook the fries in two separate batches. Your comparison of just one sweet potato in each is what most families will use. The Philips is better for doing veggies
I bought (Amazon) a perforated tray that goes above the Atifry's original tray. It bypasses the paddle. It moves around, but without the paddle. It's good for breaded meat, fish or other delicate food. That expands the use of T-Fal.
What were the instructions for the Tefal. You talk about following the manufacturer instructions to be fair then just state the Philips instructions.
I have a Tefal and a Philips. Philips is better for fries, but you cannot beat the Tefal for being able to make awesome fried rice or other pot type recipes.
I have both Philips airfyer and tefal actifry.. For me Philips is best to cook frozen potatoes, but actifry best for fresh potatoes but it need cook longer if you just put a lil bit oil it taste amazing. I use actifry most of time cz i hate cleaning Philips airfyer
Have the Phillips but have not used it yet !! I paid $100. Reg price was$249. Thank you !!
With these 'fryers' you have to pick one machine and learn to use it efficiently, I've used both and I prefer the Tefal as it also copes with stews/pasta sauces.
Phillips has higher temps. T-Fal needs some additional minutes. A fair comparison is rather with ActiFry Original not ActiFry 2-in-1 which has additional functions and obviously is more difficult to wash. You need to compare similar products, with similar functions in the same price range. T-Fal ActiFry 2-in-1 is more expensive and is aimed for family cooking. The simple ActiFry is a better contender and is in the same price range, functionality and capacity.
Finally, a cooking video that doesn't make me hungry.
What did you base your choice on as I see it if you had cooked the fries longer in the T-Fal they could have been crisper they were just under cooked so what made you choose Philips
Clean up.
Thanks for the showdown. I would have liked if you would have cooked them longer in the actifry to see what the end result was. I've had both and got to say the fries in the actifry were much better in my opinion. With the Phillips I also tended to par boil the fries first but the actifry were always great without the need to boil (I should say par steam 3 minutes in instant pot pressure cooker)
O and I do really enjoy your videos, I've watched a few with the instant pot. Keep up the good work!
So I had a power airfryer, after about six months the nut that retains the fan came off and it made a horrible noise and died . Replaced it with an actifryer . I know the power airfryer is a different brand to the Phillips , however I have to say the actfryer is a lot more useful and more flexible and user friendly , you can do chicken wings in both , but you try bananas , spray oil, brown Sugar, and four minutes .. served with ice cream or a stir fry . Both can be done on the actifryer , so before you buy think carefully what you want to do with the machine .
The browning ? I would not get hung up on it , actifry browns just as well however it cooks properly before browning
Great review. My only comment would be that if u cook the sweet potato fries in the actifry for a bit longer they will come out the same! And for those 5(?) extra minutes u also get a few more functions with the actifry which isnt discussed in thei review. The difference between the 2 appliances is that 1 is a 'static' fan assisted grill (that u cant see as its cooking) and the other is a 'constantly moving' fan assisted fryer which means u can also cook veg stirfrys, curries, bolognaise and anything that u can cook on a stove top...ASWELL as its function as a fan assisted fryer. So anything that u can cook under a grill u can cook in an airfryer and anything u can cook on a stove AND under a grill u can cook in the actifry. I hope this helps someone make the distinction between the 2 appliances 💖
Maybe "veg stirfrys, curries, bolognaise and anything that u can cook on a stove top..." isn't within the scope of their requirements. Maybe adjustable temperature control, quietness of operation, physical size and ease of cleanup are their top requirements. Everyone's requirements for a product aren't the same.

I've owned the 2 machine's, active fry is better if you no how to use it
I have a Tefal and I use it every weeks. The fries it’s excellent, just you need more 15 minutes. The taste it’s inegual because 25 minutes for airfryer and just 15 minutes for the actifry.
I love my Actifry and I have since 10 years.
Firstly, of course the Actifry fries need longer. It's got a paddle moving around. Actifry fries/chips when done correctly are second only to deep frying.
"Actifry fries need longer.." One of their conditions was how long it takes to cook, not how close it gets to deep frying. They're a busy couple so of course time is an important factor. Actifry is slow.
I have a Philips XXL air fryer. The guide says to cook beef at 400, but when I do it smokes like crazy. I've tried putting a little water in the bottom, but it just makes everything take longer to cook and I worry about the water affecting the heating element. So, I decided that lowering the temperature to 325 accomplishes the same objective and I don't have to worry about water damaging the heating element. Using the $50 grill plate, it takes almost 2 mins longer to cook a ribeye steak, and it seems to cook more evenly. I still get the sear that I'm looking for because of the grill plate and the center of the steak looks perfect. If you're going to be cooking steaks in your Philips air fryer, the grill plate accessory is a must have.
Thanks for telling us, how it is to clean them.
Soak the paddle from the actifry in hot soapy water for an hour or so whilst eating your food, it cleans pretty easy after that...
Good informative video, not a criticism but I think you should maybe have spread the fries a bit more widely in the T-fal as they seemed to be more packed together and that's just one of the reasons that may have led to them looking and tasting under cooked, slight differences in cooking temperature and time can also affect things too. Ps, I don't work for T-fal.
went out and bought a Phillips air fryer .... love it...
I don't mind hand washing an appliance as long as it's easy to get to. I just received my Philips AirFryer HD 9641/96 this afternoon. I've already washed it. It looks as though the only part that will need more work is the mesh but I don't consider it a problem. I enjoyed your demonstration and opinions.
I also vote for easy clean-up for the Philips airfryer (I have XXL). But I am contemplating buying the Actifry for scampies and other saucy things. Onions and garlic are tricky at high temperature (400F) - timing must be just right - and reveal their magic at the gentler heating of 338F and below. The Actifry looks pretty easy to clean.
Both your air fryer reviews were great and done very well in my opinion. They were both extremely helpful to me as I plan to purchase an air fryer sometime soon. Thanks. I love all your videos.
I had a Phillips and the coating came of the inside if the drawer. I now have a tefal loads better.
Because you were using cooking spray to coat the food. thats what causes that to happen
There are many factors when selecting any of the air fryers on the market. Counter space available, how often it will be used and ease of controls and cleaning. How well it cooks and does it do those food items better in them then in the ways you used to do them. That being said I bought the Philips. Also helps me to cook quick, with much less fats.
I use the wire basket in the actlfry closer to heat
Great video. We have the actifry original. The handle of the pan snapped where the screws are dueo to heat trauma over the 2 years we have had it and 2 days ago the same thing happened to the paddle, it just disintergrated and we have had to buy a new 1. I would not buy anything in the future that has plastic exposed during the cooking process or has direct contact with heat.
Actifry movement vs Philips with no movement. I have had my Actifry No. 1 for many years and to day I made Sausages in it. I just removed the action part and the sausages lay there in all their length and warmed. When I make potatoes I go for the lattice ones. 22 minutes and they are as crisp and brown as you would like. You have to nurse the Philips, open the draw in the middle and shake. What if you forget?
I have a tfal. I'd say it is also awkward to store because of the shape. We do stick the bottom part that comes out into the dishwasher with no problem. But the rest is a pain to clean. If it breaks I think we will replace it with a Phillips
I have a phillips and the coating inside started to come out after 2 years. Now I don't even use it because I am afraid tiny particles of coating will go into the food. Regarding your review the tefal food seems healthier than the burnt out phillips one. If the tefal is undercooked you just don't say "the machine is not as good", all you got to do is set the machine for an extra 5 minutes of cooking. Because of the paddle in the tefal the food will cook more evenly as your video shows. To me the Tefal is better.
In other videos that people made about the Phillips you have to stop at halfway and shake\mix up the food because it cooks towards the outside faster than the middle...
But no one mentioned the noise factor?
One sounds like a microwave running, quiet. Philips
The other sound like a vacuum cleaner, loud. T-Fal
Both quiet
Good review. I don't have any plans to get one of these. But I think folks are partial to the one they have and are offended if you picked the other as your personal preference. I did get an Instant Pot for Christmas and would love to see more videos on it. Love your "cooking show"!❤
I've seen better results in tefal's actifry... are you sure you gave it enough time? Considering that they were described as soft/not crispy
Great choice. I got the Philips as well after doing my research and a friend recommended too
The philip makes veggies better! But I like t-fal for drumettes and wingettes makes them crispy and I don't have to shake in the middle. I like it because I can set timer and when its done its done.
This Christmas I was given an Instant Pot Vortex air fryer and think it may be comparable to your Philips...the basket and liner feel good and substantial for all that they are just coated aluminum and like you I will hand wash it. So far I've been loving it as a great addition to the quick cooking lineup. The Instant Pot pressure cooker is a go to for braising and the one-pot pasta meals and now with the air fryer we can enjoy some breaded things that I would otherwise never make because of trying to avoid all the cooking oil. This was a great review and surprisingly, I haven't tried making any fries yet haha. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I have been using an air fryer for almost 2 years and had never heard of an ActiFryar until today.
I was wondering if I needed to add to my kitchen clutter or not. For me the decision was not and I couldn’t make that decision without your review.
I agreed with your decision I too kept my Phillips air fryer
The Tefal gives a more even fry, however it takes longer to cook stuff than a Phillips, so you were wrong to use the same timings.
Flo, I really enjoyed this video and others. Your comparison of the two air fryers was impartial. Finally, I love the banter between you two, it makes your channel especially enjoyable. Keep on comparing things and, of course, cooking. Mahalo Nui Loa... My Aloha to you.
My NuWave goes in the dishwasher. Cooks great, goes for around $100. I just bought one for a friend for $80. These are 3 quart units.
Glad for all the testing that went into the air fryers, I think you chose was wright for the philips machine, it would of been my choice. Thank you both.
"Wright" one ??
"would of" LOL
How about RIGHT one and WOULD HAVE !!
Wouldn't accept your judgment
Very useful comparison. Each is different at better things. I have 5 different air fryers. BTW, you actually meant "sweet potato" right?? (yams are like 3 or 4 feet long.....)
So many people call sweet potatoes yams. Even the stores that sell them.
Good choice! Philips is Dutch brand 😊.
there is another way in the tefal a basket fits on the top closer to the element faster cook about 10 min for chips leave till crispy brown and I binned my chip pan also fish and chips in basket beautiful
Planning to buy fryer thanks for the review now I know which one I will take.
You would have to assume both air fryers have degree markers that are accurate so why mot cook them at the same temp? All recipes come with temp settings regardless of the oven you cook in, right? Please review the nuwave oven/air fyer. i love that you cdn cook from frozen. But not sure I believe their results-- too perfect
Happy that have decided to stick with your Philips AF. You both made a fair and objective assessment after conducting your tests. Just wondering what the wattage is for the T-fal AF, since I don't own one? I do know that the Philips AF has 1400 watts of power along with their "tornado-like" fan up above and the turbostar patented design at the bottom of the basket, which perhaps gives you a better result. IDK. I think that you made a great choice here, as I do love my Philips. As I said in one of my previous comments that the Philips brand, in my opinion, is the "Rolls Royce" of air fryers. BTW, I also got mine for $200 at Williams Sonoma during last year's black Friday sale. Love your other videos and the delightful foods that you prepare for us here. They certainly look amazing! Keep up the great work! Thanks guys.
According to info from the web, the T-fal is also 1400 watts. Kitchen tools, like a lot of other things in life, are subject to personal needs and preferences. The Philips works well for us.
I have a question regarding the cleaning:
Can the upper part of the Philips airfryer be cleaned/washed easily? I would imagine that it will get dirty too because all the steam that goes up there.
I prefer the Active-fry over the Phillips- I have both and will be selling the Phillips!
Please differentiate as per ur experience
@@mairaazhar8221 The acti-fry has the option to stir the items to prevent uneven cooking. It also keeps the oil in the container allowing for the oils to not disappear.
...did you shake the Philips basket half way thru the cooking process per the instructions???
I have a Phillips Airfryer and love it. I pop the parts in the dishwasher, simple
I have both prefer TEFAL I can cook everything in it. I even throw sauces in it and it's fine
Thanks. I had a T-Fel, Found it quite useless with the centre piece. Have ended up with a Phillips air fryer.
Just cook the way that you cook Flo. It's impossible to please everyone, & even if you did it their way, they'd still bloody whinge, whine & complain.You & your hubby make a brilliant team, so just keep on doing things *YOUR* way *NOT* other peoples ways.
Try the Gourmia air fryer it's great I bought 2 first one at$55.00 the second one at $30.00 ay Costco it's great I use it's Every day for meats AND other recipies I cook healthy every day AND it's 5qts capacity
Hi Flo,
I cannot agree more with your decision towards the Philips. It is the by far easier to use and to clean device and definitive smaller! I use it in my small kitchen in a weekly basis and wouldn't want to miss it - which by any means is the same judgement for your channel: I love those little teasings between the dude and you! Thx!
How is a basket easier to clean than a bowl.
It isn't !
Had a Philips.
Too messy.Bought a Tefal
Superior in so many ways, including easy cleaning.
Good thing we have different opinions and are hopefully allowed to. lol
Btw, T-Fal is much more superior to Philips one. Since T-fal grinds while frying unlike Philips which has only one dimensional air heat architecture , add extra 5-8 minutes while cooking your fries or chicken wings. It will produce great foods.
I only have an air fryer, I put tin foil underneath to collect the drippings to help with cleaning
Have a T-Fal and cook yams (sweet potato) for 20-25 minutes. Half the time for potatoes.
For those who already have the TFal, try the snackbasket, it's faster and better
Hi Flow, I have the phillips air fryer, and I have the DeLongi multi fryer, which is a better choice for me, because you can use the top or bottom burner or both, and the paddle comes off if you want to fry chicken or bake cakes. and it's a very easy clean up. But all air fryers are different. I don't really want the TFal air fryer, which I think the clean up may be a time consuming chore. so I really watch and like your video's, especially the instapot ones, Keep up the good work and tks again for your time, which is valuable for all of us, take care Nicky in cold snowy Michigan
Didn't see this video before buying and I ended up finding the Tfal at 88$ CAD so I went with that one. Maybe I should have gone with the Phillips? But it's like 200$ CAD so, I hope I'll be happy with the Actifry. XD
Tips I learned: Preheat the Actifry actually helps.
I bought the T fal at $88 as well, it seems like the Phillips one is harder to wash the upper side..
They are very different in practice. The philips is more like a pocket oven, but the actifry is more like a self-stirring pot. They are both extremely useful but at different things
When I cook yams in my Tefal I cook them until they are cooked, I wish you had. Not a fair trial if you do not use both appliances correctly.I think you forced a good result for the Philips. Just saying!
Totally correct .
I have a Tefal and have had a Philips which I found inferior in cooking quality to the Tefal.
You did not give the tefal a chance as you cooked with the Philips at a temp. of 350 deg.
the tefal was at a lower temp. as it is set at about 330 deg.
Had you cooked the chips about 5 mins longer than the Pfilips they would have been perfect, as I have just done and proven (10 minutes ago)
Very biased towards the Philips is your demo.
I wonder why ??
Bit suspect, I think.
No incentives from Philips ??
I think there may have been as the way you did it was totally favouring the Philips.
How "brown" do you want "orange" sweet potatoes ??? lol
she said 400 degrees for the Tefal...
Great video. I think it's fair to go with the manuals. Thanks
I have used both. The Phillips air fryer is very difficult to clean in comparison to the Tefal.
how about wiping, cleaning the interiors of the fryers (not the baskets)? good to know how loud T-fal was!
I enjoyed this video. I think that you tested the two items that most will be utilizing this machine to cook and were very balanced to both models. Space saving alone, Philips wins! Thank you Flo!
You just need to cook the tefal for a little bit longer , then they will be perfect .
Ok..so i recently got the tfal. Heres the thing. I dont love it either as mich as i thought i would..BUT, heres what i do like. You absolutely can cook without the paddle in it. Ypu just need to flip your food occasionally. I take the paddle out to cook perogies, or chicken schnitzel or pretty much anything else that breaks up with the paddle in it. For what i like cooking in the tfal so far is thqt it makes amazing fried rice, i also love cooking meatballs in it (my kids love meatballs), also cut up coated chicken to then use for orange chicken.
The phillips looks ok too, but i dont think you can make fried rice in it and i also dont like that you cant watch your food cook.
Can you please guide me about fish sticks I just bought tfal when I put in it fish sticks in it the paddle ruined all the batter on the other hand when I put without paddle they became soggy and peeled all the coating
Any good suggestions?
Yes, get a Phillips instead! Hahahaha! (Sorry, couldn't resist!)
We've used our Actifyer 2 in 1 for 6 years and the handle broke off it today. Can't find another to buy and may be forced to buy a Phillips. Sad.
There are parts of Actifry (lids, paddles) on Amazon, you may try...
Abetter comparison would be the superwave vs nuwave. It boils down to glass vs plastic and halogen vs traditional heating element. The halogen oven heats at a higher temp but the sheath heating element lasts longer. They both use the same 3 technolgies to cook food. They are so similar it seems to be a copyright infringement. I like the glass bowlndesign because it hold soups dndstews better. What are your thoughts? Btw thesuperwave cleans itself!
How do you get around the cleaning of the heating element in the Phillips? I gave mine away as I found it impossible to get cleaned properly and it would produce a lot of smoke. But good vudeo
I find if you don't use the paddle it works better. I just stir the food part way through cooking. If I had a choice I would buy a Phillips but the T feel was a gift. It does make great chicken.
Have you seen the Power Air Fryer Oven that is sold on TV? It looks to be a much better fryer, and can cook a wide variety of food. I don't have a air fryer but I'm more interested in the Power air fryer. And it's $160. Just a thought. Thanks for the testing, it has made me think about them. But I still liiike my Insta Pot. lol
My Tefal was a gift and it works for me, just learning, but very very happy with it... Some of your timings there were a bit iffy, but, if you like the Philips and I like the Tefal, we are both happy :)
Great job testing ! One thing with air fryers is that it is a lot of trial and error. When I was doing my research I found the Phillips was typically the best and one of the most expensive. Even though it was the best, it was out of my comfort zone for price range. I like the basket style fryers typically better except for the delonghi brand. I find the mesh basket in the Phillips and Nuwave to be harder to clean than some other basket types. Love the side by side comparison :)
Mel's , you mention DeLongi . ... I had a rectangular white toaster oven since early 90s which had self-cleaning interior & finally had to replace it last year and I miss it; it was such a simple nice oven that didn't need much interior cleaning .
Mel's , I suppose DeLongi has a air fryer that was not that great (?).
Been looking at air fryers lately for holiday gifts, and Philips air fryers are consistently rated as the best.
I am still really happy with my Philips!
@@FloLum any signs of rust yet?

Bought the phillips premium xxl and its the best one I've had so far
We have tried a good few of the air fryers available and also decided that the Philips was the best for us.
Why didn't your Actifry come with a rotating mesh rack? It works better than the paddle in a few situations.
I own the tfal. Fries take 20 minutes, the 15 isn't long enough.
I think the Philips is more sleek and compact Making it suitable for storage or counter space.
I will say cleaning the tfal is very easy for me. It is a bit daunting having multiple parts. I do appreciate the cooking window it has. However the tfal I have cost 60 cad?
I'm shocked your model was 200$
Just got the Tfal and I thought something was wrong with it as it takes twice as long as it should. Disappointing. Now I know that it’s just slower. Thank you!
I bought my first Philips air fryer xxl few days ago and my mom nags me everyday why I didn’t get the T-Fal one! The Problems I had so far with Philips is the lack of accessories it came with! They make you spend more money on their parts! 60 bucks for a rack!? That includes 60 bucks for a grill pan and 60 bucks for baking basket!
Finally during cooking, it triggers my smoke alarm to go off! Did that ever happens to yours?
Frying in the airfryyer (without oil) to eat with a mayonaise?
The Teafel needs 20 to 30
Minutes for the best fries
Depending on the amount
I guess that's one reason it lost
