HSN has a tsv that I am interested in. Phillips air fryer. Does anyone have this? It really looks like a great product. I have wanted one for a long time and the price is good. Can anyone give any reviews on this? thanks so much.

I ordered it last year and returned it.. I thought it was a lot of money, for me, at that time. $200.. Plus S/H.. I had regretted ever since sending it back. I used it the little bit of time that I had it for French fries, chicken wings and a few other things.. I loved the food that I did cook in there.. So I reordered it, and I am anxious to receive it.

P.S. I don't know about that other things are that they are now selling with this. They do seem like a lot of money for those..baking pan, grill pan, and double rack..

I had an interest in this too, but I am passing. Takes a lot of space on the counter, probably do similar in my toaster convection oven and food capacity is limited,enough For 2 or 3 only , otherwise need to do in batches. Also there is a new model coming out that is digital and I think has bigger capacity. Williams and Sonoma has it now, out of stock at Amazon.

Check out reviews on Amazon. Some say that it's essentially a convection oven and report that the outcome doesn't equate to fried. Set your expectations accordingly.

I got it when the other channel had it as a tsv and we love it.

I use it for poaching fish, making french fries, fried chicken strips and a lot more.

You can't beat it for reheating take out fried foods, it actually blows off all the extra oil that the original frying held onto, and the fries and chicken come out crisp, tender and juicy. Actually better than before it was reheated.

Roasting veggies comes out great also. Just mist a little olive oil on the veggies before putting into the air fryer.

Clean up is a breeze also.

We really consider it one of our healthy appliance purchases.

I have had my Phillips Air Fryer for about one month and I love it! I have cooked awesome frozen french fries, tater tots, chicken tenders, fish sticks and even roasted some almonds in it. All with great success and I think easier and better than cooking in regular oven or Nuwave oven. I want to try other foods in it, can't wait. I did try to cube polenta, spray with olive oil to make fried polenta croutons, but that didn't work so well.

I cut the Grill Mat (Item K39683) to fit the bottom of the basket and clean up is a breeze and it works well. I have been spraying the frozen foods with a little coconut oil.

Yes a little pricey, but so convenient, easy to clean, simple design and it is not as large as I expected. I brought it to my daughter's house over the holidays. My 3 yr old grandson, loved the fries and my daughter said you would never know they weren't deep fried. I think it is worth it.

Thanks so much. I think I am going to buy it in black. I think I better get it today as even Amazon is a high price. So this is a bargain. Thanks again!

Too costly for what it does, is too small for the average family, too large, and only does one thing. I use one of those air crisper pans without oil, but I don't eat lots of fried foods. This and the other TFal one are expensive and take quite a while to get your food in small batches.
