Sold for around €100, the Essential Airfryer Compact HD9200/90 adopts the same format as the Essential Airfryer Compact HD9252/90, but swaps its touch panel for physical buttons for simpler and more intuitive handling.
The Philips Essential Airfryer Compact HD9200 is an interesting alternative to the low-cost oil-free fryers that are multiplying on the market. Its control panel is certainly rudimentary, but it is also intuitive. It is therefore even easier to cook with this model as it never has any unpleasant surprises during cooking. Temperatures are generally well respected and quickly reached. What remains is an overall limited temperature range and, above all, a still significant size for the small capacity offered.
Strong points
- Simple and easy to understand controls.
- No need for preheating.
- Relatively compact format.
- Little noisy.
- Interesting NutriU app.
Weak points
- Really small basket.
- Compulsory mixing of preparations during cooking.
- Messy coating.
The second best quality/price ratio
The Cosori CP158-AF is an interesting oil-free fryer, as much for its large capacity as for its performance. Particularly respectful of temperatures, it diffuses heat very well in its basket and is quite quick to heat up. Its functions nevertheless remain basic and we would have liked to find a recipe book in French in the box.
