Our take on the Philips Essential Air Fryer XL

The Philips Essential Air Fryer XL is a 1.6-gallon basket-style air fryer rated at 2,000 watts. The large basket and high wattage let it cook family-sized batches of fries, wings or vegetables with little oil. It is a straightforward manual-dial machine, so it lacks the presets, app control and probe features found on Philips' premium Airfryer XXL and on many rival smart fryers. Owners like the capacity and even browning; some find the dials less precise than digital controls and the body large on the counter.

Questions and answers

How much food does the 1.6-gallon basket hold?
It is an XL basket aimed at families, enough for a large batch of fries or wings for several people. Very full loads cook less evenly, so shake or turn food partway.
Does it have presets or an app?
No. It uses manual temperature and time dials, with no presets, app or Wi-Fi. That keeps it simple but less precise than digital Philips models.
How does it compare with the Philips Airfryer XXL?
The XXL adds digital controls, more presets and often a smart sensing feature. This Essential model trades those for simpler dials and a lower feature set while keeping a large basket.
Is the basket dishwasher safe?
Philips lists the removable basket and pan as dishwasher safe. Hand washing is gentler on the nonstick coating.
Does it need much counter space?
It is roughly 16 inches wide and 12 inches deep, and tall for a basket fryer. Measure your counter and check clearance under cabinets before buying.
What comes in the box?
The fryer unit with its removable basket and pan. Accessories such as a grill pan or baking dish are sold separately.
