First things first. This is not a fryer but a mini convection oven and it performs similarly to other convection ovens, majority of which are far more versatile and are selling for less.
I got mine as a gift. It is the version that sells in Canada and it does not come with food separator or baking dish. With retail price over $200, you'd expect these things to be included.
How well does it perform? It makes decent baked fries in about 20-25 mins. The results do not compare to a deep fryer in terms of taste, but then this appliance should be compared to other convection ovens and not to deep fryers. While baking is healthier than deep frying, the notion of "guilt-free chips/fries" is fallacious as the main problem with potatoes in general is their starch content. It breaks down into sugar and messes up your brain receptors that signal you to stop eating because you're full. I can't believe people still fall for this low fat nonsense. If you're watching your weight, you should be more concerned about grains and sugar.
Other items I tried in it were salmon fillets (about 10 mins, results identical to baking salmon in conventional oven) and raw sausages (10 mins, again, same as baked). With raw sausages, right at the end of the cooking cycle, the smoke coming out of the back became very intense and set off my smoke detector. It's a good idea to keep an eye on your foods if they have higher fat content.
Don't expect to feed a crowd using this convection oven. It will cook enough food to feed 2-3 people. 4+ means you have to cook in batches so the time savings go out of the window, you're better off using your conventional oven.
The appliance is mostly hard plastic. It feels solid. Cooking basket is metal with some type of Teflon/non-stick coating. Cleaning has been problem-free so far. Similar to any other non-stick pan.
A special shout-out goes to the Philips marketing dept:
1) "Air Fryer" is an oxymoron. Dictionary defines frying as cooking in oil. "Air frying" and "rapid air technology" are known as convection baking outside the Philips headquarters. There is nothing "revolutionary" about them.
2) "Healthy", "healthier" and "guilt-free" is plastered all over the box. Healthier than what? Deep fryers? Sure. Other convection ovens? No.
*Speaking of "healthy". Philips conveniently does not mention whether the basket's Teflon coating contains toxic materials or whether the plastics in close proximity to food contain BPA.
3) "Oil free cooking" is an outright lie and one of the Philips ads mentioning it was banned in the UK. Their excuse was that frozen packaged chips/fries already have oil in them so it doesn't count. By that logic, I can enjoy oil free cooking in my cast-iron frypan if I get somebody else to put in there. Brilliant! Not that there's anything wrong with adding good quality and healthy olive oil to your baked food.
In conclusion, it is very hard to recommend this small convection oven at this price point. You are far better off spending $100-150 on a larger and more versatile convection oven from Cuisinart, Breville or Panasonic. Or, if you're comfortable with slightly longer cooking times, just stick with your conventional oven. It "air fries" your food just as well.
*Extra star taken off for deceptive marketing.
**It turned out to be difficult to find objective reviews of this product on the web. The majority appear to be disguised advertisements. I added the links I found to be most useful in my research in a comment below my review.

I just got back from visiting family in Australia and noticed that "airfryers" are in nearly every household. From what I've observed over the years, Australians seem to be more health conscious than we are here in the US (smaller portion sizes, eat seasonally, no growth hormones in dairy and meat, fewer preservatives in packaged foods, etc) anyway, they still love to eat, drink and celebrate with food like everyone else on the planet. So they find work-arounds ... enter air fryers. You can give your kids home made chicken nuggets and fries that taste as good as what you would purchase at any fast food chain (even better actually) and do it all at home and eliminate the deep fryer.
This is an EXCELLENT unit that is well made, looks great, and really lasts (my in-laws and several friends have had theirs for a couple of years with no problems.) It sells for a lot less in Australia (go figure, virtually everything else retails for more) but this tells you it's a great seller over there. I've done the research, you can buy this item directly from Philips USA and pay $249, free shipping OR you can go online to HSN and buy it for $200, free shipping, and if you sign up for email advertisements HSN will send you a 15% off coupon brining the unit price to $170 ... how great is that???
So while I normally do most of my home and personal shopping on Amazon, this time around I'll be visiting the HSN web site and ordering this product from them for a lot less.

I have had this product for about 1 week now, and am overall pleased with my purchase. I've read multiple reviews prior to purchasing and knew what I was getting into prior to its arrival, and was able to try a few things out to make my own conclusions. Also there are many more reviews from the UK/Australia, but I use the US version and have cooking times in farenheit etc.
Things you need to know:
1. This item is best suited to cook frozen fries and other frozen foods. It does this job well. The fries taste similar to what can be done from a deep fryer, and definitely better then a regular conventional oven (though I dont use "convection baking", so I cant speak to its comparison with convection)
2. Its built well and easy to clean up. Compared to deep frying, there is a night and day difference. No mess, minimal smell (as much as normal cooking)
3. Its size is not as big as people may make you think, its smaller than a Kitchenaid mixer. Also in terms of noise, its not silent but if you are alone without background noise (music or TV), there is the noise of the fan which is noticeable, but not a problem
4. This is ideal for 1-2 up to 3 people for snacks. You cannot feed a family without doing multiple batches. The amount of fries that can be cooked at one time seems to be the same as two medium orders at a fast food chain.
What I have cooked:
Frozen fries - great, as advertised
Frozen samosas (Indian savory pastry) - initially turned out ok initially without any manipulation, but brushed with some olive oil prior to cooking and turned out great, similar to frying
Frozen popcorn chicken - great
Fresh Chicken wings - this is what sold me on this machine. Just take fresh wings from the grocery store and brush with some olive oil, cook for 18 minutes on 350-390 with a shake half way, plate and pour on your favorite warmed wing sauce. Definitely as good as doing it in the deep fryer in terms of crisp on on the outside and tender inside, superior to baking as well (conventional baking). However, this does create some smoke but if you pour out the oil (the extra oil just from the chicken itself that comes from cooking) at the time you shake you will avoid the smoke. This makes 8 wings easily, could probably make 12 easily as well without stacking. and I am also thinking of getting the layering rack when the price goes down.
In regards to home made fries - i have not tried this, and it seems like it would be time consuming based off the various recipes because of all the soaking etc that you need to do. Also wet batters dont seem like they would work well in this either.
Overall, I think this is a good product and best suited for 1-2 people who are looking for easy ways to cook frozen foods that turn out as good and way less oil compared to deep frying, and would be great for kids who want to eat frozen foods and maintain that high quality crunch. Some foods you cannot substitute for deep frying, and there is a whole range of items of fresh foods that I have not tried yet due to time constraints. However, the price point remains high for this product, and think that it would sell better if it was around $150.
Feel free to ask my questions etc, and am excited to see all the various items I can make in this machine. Essentially it can work as a toaster or small oven as well, but I have not used it for this purpose yet.
