The Philips Airfryer Essential XL HD9270/90 multicooker is offered at €109.99 on Amazon, a drop of around €18 on the usual price. It is currently one of our best value for money for small budgets.
The Essential Airfryer XL HD9270/90 is one of Philips’ new “affordable” air fryers. It logically does not offer as many features as the manufacturer’s higher-end models, but has an interesting capacity of 6.2 liters.

The Essential Airfryer XL HD9270/90 does not offer as many features as the more high-end models from Philips, but the essential is there: the heating is fast and the temperature rather stable and homogeneous within the tank. The NutriU application also makes it easy to find recipes, but we would have liked a slightly better control panel.
Strong points
- Rapid rise in temperature.
- Nice cooking homogeneity.
- Interesting NutriU app.
- Little noisy.
Weak points
- Inconvenient and unresponsive control panel.
- Dirty coating.

Without much pretension, the Essential Airfryer Compact HD9252 nevertheless has the merit of doing what is asked of it. Its cooking performance is satisfactory on the whole and the dispensation of preheating saves considerable time compared to an oven. It’s a pity that its control panel has not been better thought out, and that its basket is still not a little larger given the size of the device.
