11 Best Oil Free Air Fryer (2022 Updated)

I love this air fryer. So far I have used it for french fries, fresh chicken thighs, and frozen chicken tenders. The french fries cooked the same as the oven (but I didn’t shake a little oil on them first).

The fresh chicken thighs were an adventure because I had never used a dry rub before. The thighs were good but my technique needs work. The frozen chicken tenders were fantastic. They were thoroughly cooked but were soft and tender unlike the microwave where they get hard.

The cleanup was super easy. The timer tells you how much time is left for cooking, the temperature being used, and when to shake/turn over the food. It’s very easy to use. Think about how much counter space you have and where an electrical outlet is.

It is rather heavy (at least to me) so think about how far you will have to carry it from where you store it to where you will use it. I love it and would highly recommend it.

I love this top so much, I ordered it in 3 colors! It’s just the right amount of stretch and the armholes aren’t too big so no side bra show. It’s cool in this hot summer heat, fits true to size, can’t go wrong ordering this one.

Great for the money paid I have been using this everyday during more then a month now. I love this product because it is easy to use, very functional. I use it to toast my slices of bread and to cook meats.

I strongly recommend this product.

I haven’t used my new air fryer a whole lot yet but I have been very pleased with what I have cooked. I cooked boneless chicken thighs which were delicious and so moist and tender, plus it didn’t take very long to cook them at all, less than 10 minutes.

I do wish you had a lot more control on the temperature settings but with time I may come to find it not a problem at all. It is to easy clean up except I have a problem getting the handle and basket to separate.

I can’t seem to put enough pressure on the release button which, may be due to arthritis in my hand, but my husband can with no problem. I am looking forward to trying many more recipes out.

If you’ve never owned an air fryer, simply put it is a game-changer for cooking. If you have had one in the past, this air fryer includes a lot of more automated features that will take your cooking to the next level.

The Philips Digital Air Fryer is a reasonably-sized countertop air fryer with all digital controls, including presets to eliminate having to look up recipes (time and temperature) for commonly-cooked foods like French fries and chicken drumsticks.

Setup was easy, despite a bloated instruction manual (one bullet instruction followed immediately by 10 “tips”). The one problem I had with initial setup, post-unboxing, was a cardboard filler that was placed between the food basket & heating coil that has to be removed.

When removed, it left a sizeable piece of the cardboard behind, wedged into the heating coil. Had I not felt that, it could have potentially started a fire, something that Philips should look at revising.

For size comparison, the cooking basket can accommodate 4 bone-in chicken thighs. I found the size to be pretty good for cooking for 3, but in the case when I cooked ribeye steaks, I had to cook the (3) 14-ounce steaks one-at-a-time, putting the steaks in the regular oven on the warming setting to make it where everyone could eat at the same time.

I would say that if you’re cooking for 2 or 3 this is a perfect size. If you’re cooking for 4 or more, or cook larger meals, this device may be slightly undersized for you. Food Reviews: Two of my first cooks were frozen tater tots and bone-in chicken thighs.

Both were cooked PERFECTLY using the simple built-in presets on the device (there are 4 presets: frozen fries, chicken legs, fish, and chops/cuts (pork)). I’ve never had tater tots cooked this well. Crispy on the outside, nearly identical to oil frying, but without the mess.

Chicken thighs were unbeatable, cooked all of the way through (something often tough to do whether it’s in the oven or frying in a pan), juicy with a perfectly crisp skin. Juices and oils from the cooking process are captured and contained in the base of the pan which is separate from the food basket, so unlike other cooking methods your food won’t sit in its own grease thus defeating the goal.

Manual cooking by setting temperature & time is also possible if you’re cooking something not covered by one of the 4 presets. The one limitation I found with manually setting temperature is the fact that temperatures can only be set in 25-degree increments (i.

e. 350, 375, 400). Many recipes online recommend odd temperatures like “Cook at 390 for 12 minutes”. While the difference between 390 and 400 degrees sounds negligible, when cooking at this close of range to the heating element, plus the quickness at which it cooks, 10 degrees can change the cooking time by 1-2 minutes, something you will need to account for.

Using frozen chicken tenders as the example, I used 400 degrees for 12 minutes (flipping at 6 minute) when it was recommended online to cook at 390 for 12 minutes. The tenders were still good, but probably within 60 seconds of being overdone.

Make sure you account for that disparity in recommended temperature versus what is capable on the device. Cleaning: Cleaning is as simple as throwing the 4 parts that make up the fryer in the dishwasher after emptying the fat collector.

Make sure to check the inside of the unit & wipe down, as needed, as well as the heating element where oils may have splattered up. The rest of the exterior of the unit can be wiped down with general kitchen cleaner.

App Available: Yes, there is a Philips air fryer app available, but don’t waste your time. The app is critically outdated and only shows a handful of fryers, all of which are older model analog devices.

The app is supposed to include recipes, but even the most basic things you would think of cooking (like a simple fried chicken recipe) isn’t listed. I deleted the app by the time I finished my first meal.

There are plenty of websites dedicated just to air fryer recipes, so just rely on those (again with the caveat that their recommended cooking temperatures may not align with the Philips device’s 25-degree increment settings).

Summary: Buy this. It is an incredible addition to any kitchen, giving you new, faster, and healthier methods for cooking a variety of foods.

So I’ve been wanting an air fryer for quite some time. Having the opportunity to finally get my hands on the Phillips Digital Air Fryer, I would have to say that it has changed the quality of some of my meals for the better! I’ll begin by saying this is almost the perfect size for maybe one or two people when cooking things like chicken.

For a larger family, you might have to look for a larger capacity fryer. One of the first things I made with this air fryer was chicken wings. It was fast (maybe about 15 minutes) and they turned out perfect.

They had an ever-so slight crisp on the outside. After I took them out, I tossed them in a bowl to coat them in buffalo wing sauce, and bam – homemade wings. Frozen foods also come out amazing with this air fryer.

I’ve warmed up egg rolls, mozzarella sticks, and taquitos in this. Each have come out perfectly crispy. Previously, I used a regular oven to warm these items up, and while it did the job, the outcome in the air fryer is just way better.

The actual device is simple to use, and the digital display does make operation easy compared to some other lower-end air fryers that have analog dials. There is a base in the basket that captures all the grease/oils, so it makes cooking your food that much healthier.

The pan is a non-stick surface, so cleaning up after was easy, although it did take a little more scrubbing than I expected. Overall, I would say that the Phillips Digital Air Fryer is a great buy. It’s relatively small to store away when not in use, works efficiently to cook food, and has a nice design.

There are apparently accessories that can be purchased separately, so I am looking forward to seeing what I can buy from Phillips. If you’re looking for an air fryer to try, do not hesitate with this device.

I haven’t had this oven for very long, but it certainly is a great buy. It does everything I need it to do and has even inspired my son to cook some meals. The size is perfect for my very small galley kitchen as I still have enough space to work at the kitchen bench.

So far so good!.

I’m thrilled it’s dishwasher friendly – I saw a few models that weren’t – I can’t imagine that inconvenience. This model doesn’t “preheat” as many recipes include in their directions. I wish I’d known to look for that.

Otherwise, the price was excellent & delivery as promised.

Wanted to try an air fryer and this one works great, easy to use, easy to clean. Nice size for small (2-3) family.

It’s amazing. Makes super yummy food

Wow, what a great company with s great product and awesome customer service personnel who truly appreciate and value their customers. We purchased one of their large capacity air fryers that worked great for a lot more than the warranty period.

And then just stopped working one day. Emailed them hoping that we will get assistance to repair it. But to our pleasant surprise, Luis (the greatest Customer service person ever) understood our plight and spoke to management and got approved to replace the unit, shipping and all.

Ain’t that a great company with great personnel! If ever I or anyone I know need an air fryer, this will be my only stop. Thank you Luis, (U da best!) My only shortcoming was I wish this air fryer came the cage that rotates.

All in all great fryer and great company.

Absolutely love this product and it does so many things I still have many dishes to try! The basket for food is large, so can air fry a larger capacity than other air fryers I have seen. It also works as a convection oven.

I’ve not yet used to for cooking a chicken or other large item, but I’m confident it will do a fantastic job. Fabulous for heating items which you’d normally microwave. They come out of the air fryer nice and crisp instead of limp and soggy as they would in a microwave.

And – cleanup is SO easy with the nonstick drip pan! #sweepstakes.

just got this delivered. very disappointed. Description is misleading. states clean up a breeze with nonstick accessories. only thing nonstick is the drip pan, everything else is not nonstick. Main reason I bought was because thought nonstick.

Description also says no oil. this is misleading also. requires some oil. May decide to return. item I chose this over is now sold out, only reason I might keep but seriously considering returning, waiting for refund on card then ordering another and waiting for shipping.

NOT HAPPY!!!.

I cook everything at 400°. It’s very large. We love how crispy the food is. If you like hot dogs they come out like they were on the grill. So good. No more boiled hotdogs in the stove. You can even make your grilled cheese or hot ham sandwich in this.

Very handy.

If you want a large air fryer for your family, get this one. It does a great job as advertised. One reason I selected this one is for the analog dials. You can just grab them and turn them right to where you want the temp and time settings.

None of this tap tap tap push push push on some fake film button to get it to where you want it. Just a quick turn and you are there! This machine fries just as you would expect it too. WE are pleased with it and have only just begun to explore all of the possibilities.

the fyer itself is very large and has weight, but it’s worth the price. we’ve cooked a variety of things and never had issues. really easy to clean. recommended, especially for the first timer!

This is a really nice air fryer. I have had two Breville Halo Air fryers before, the old style green ones. These were by far the best at the time, but alas have been discontinued. With my last Halo on It’s last legs I had to go searching for a replacement.

I came across this fryer but was worried about the lack of tilt action. ‘How could it possibly turn over the contents’. Well I can say it works very well. The pan itself does not move at all unlike the old Halo.

Instead there is a rotating paddle which has a specifically designed blade that does a very good job of turning over chips, onion rings, croquettes etc. I had to get used to the cooking times and timer as it is more efficient than the previous Halo fryer.

This cooks faster and more thorough. There are many more presets and much more manual functionality to this fryer, which will allow you, with some practice. To achieve perfect results.

I must start by saying that I am a competent home cook, and have drawn on my experience to set times and settings. I have limited use for the Actify. It is good for roast potatoes, roast vegetables vegetable stir fry, crispy bacon.

The central pillar prevents cooking a whole quiche. I have had to cut a pre baked & frozen quiche into 4 to bake. It did bake well. The instructions are not at all clear. Each time I use it I feel I am experimenting.

The App is also poor. Instead of showing you how to chop an onion it would be better showing you how to change the cooking settings & times. I am still finding the process hit and miss. It is a case of switch off at the mains & start again.

I am stuck with it and will use it when I need to but I would not recommend buying it. Not worth the price. Have not been able to find a recipe book for The Actrify Genius XL.

We have had a Tefal Actifry since they first appeared on the market, so needless to say, it was time for a new one, so having seen this, we thought what a good idea it would be to be able to cook two items, and have the meal ready at the same time, as it says in the product details, so we sent for it.

Having viewed a number of You Tube Videos, by the time it arrived, we knew what to expect, but when we tried to use it, it didn’t do what it was supposed to. Having seen the videos, and read the instructions very carefully, it was quite clear that what was supposed to happen was that you start the food cooking in the pan, e.

g. chips, set the pan to mode 1 and adjust the time to 30minutes, then before starting the cooking, you change over to the tray, to set the tray mode to what ever you want to cook in there, e. g. steak, set it to mode 5 for 10minutes, do not put the tray in to cook yet.

Now what we presumed was supposed to happen was, when the cooking was started, the chips would cook for the first 20 minutes, then the Actifry would stop and beep, alerting you to put the tray in, and start the cooking again, thus the chips and steak would be ready at the same time.

But what was actually happening was, the chips would cook through the whole 30 minutes, then it would stop and beep, for the tray to be put in, but you have to take the chips out or else they would be over cooked.

The cooker itself is very good, cooks the food perfect, but it’s just the cooking timer that was the problem, we thought it may be faulty, so after using it for a few weeks, we returned it as faulty or not fit for purpose, and ordered another.

When the new one came, we tried that, but it was doing exactly the same, so we returned that as well, and gave up, we have gone back to a normal actifry.

TranslateShow in original languageComprei essa fritadeira há cerca de 2 meses e sinceramente não gostei. Aspectos negativos: – O suporte (base) metálico possui umas peças de borracha que já se desmancharam.

– O pior de tudo são as batatas que ficam murchas e moles, já tive uma fritadeira de outra marca e as batatas ficavam crocantes. – Os alimentos grudam no suporte metálico e acabam por se partir ao retirar, na outra que tive quase não grudavam.

Aspectos positivos: – Alguns alimentos como carnes ficam saborosos. – É realmente grande, mas eu preferia que fosse mais largo do que alto, pois assim ocupava melhor o espaço. – O display touchscreen é prático.

TranslateShow in original languageIk had een plan om het voor een paar maanden te kopen. Het maakte mijn werk in de keuken slim en ook met een gezonde output. het kookt erg snel en heeft bijna dezelfde smaak.

En het goede is: als er geen idee is van de kooktijd van iets, kunnen tijd en temperatuur op elk moment tijdens het koken worden aangepast. gemakkelijk te wassen. Het is XXL, maar het ontwerp is slim en neemt weinig ruimte in beslag.

Ik vind het geweldig en beveel het aan.

TranslateShow in original languageEcht een topper! De onze was na 4 jaar op en mijn man wilde eigenlijk zo’n hele dure. Ik ging toch op de gok voor deze en ik moet zeggen: toppertje hoor! Je hoeft niet voor te verwarmen en kunt gewoon de tijden aanhouden op je verpakking.

Tot dusver zijn alle snacks, rollades en beenhammetjes er perfect gaar uit geserveerd. Ook het design is prachtig en hij is makkelijk uit te nemen en onder de kraan te reinigen. De bak kan niet in de vaatwasser, maar hij is zo simpel te reinigen , dat dat geen minpunt vormt.

I bought this as it has a fairly large capacity for a family, it was on offer so good value and I bought the white machine to match my appliances. Its simply fabulous! You can cook more or less anything that you would put in the oven.

It cooks chips that are crispy and delicious. I have never owned a deep fat fryer and we dont eat a lot of fried food but these are more like a mini oven that cooks very quickly and with little or no oil required.

Ive been cooking chicken thighs with the colonels secret seasoning recipe that is online and using a spritz of oil. Whilst they do not taste like KFC they are crispy, tasty and delicious, the family loves them.

On days when I am working late this has been handy for the teenagers to cook themselves something quick from the freezer. Its really easy to clean, it takes minutes. This is the best purchase I have made in a long time!.

Love it. Very good air fryer, cooks food real easily, nice and crispy and the settings are solid. Easy to clean. Bigger than I expected which is good, so can cook a decent amount of food

Have used this Air Fryer since Christmas, and havent used my cooker since its amazing cooks roast dinners, have made spring rolls , cakes , bread , and my granddaughter as made Luxury cookies and they came out brilliantly , absolutely everybody should have one of these in the kitchen they are amazing, I have just purchased another one so I can take one to My Caravan, they are so compact and use very little room.

I would highly recommend this pure mate Air fryer. chips.
