This is the second air fryer I have owned with a drawer design; my previous model had several flaws that ultimately led to its replacement. Given the advancements in kitchen appliances over the past few years, I was eager to see whether this Philips model had addressed those shortcomings. ♦����Design Features At first glance, its design is familiar, akin to other drawer air fryers, it's compact enough to require minimal counter space. Despite its relatively small size, the basket offers an impressive 6.5-quart capacity. One of the notable upgrades is the modern touchscreen interface, which gives the machine a more sleekly modern look compared to the dial controls of my previous air fryer. Not only is it wonderfully user-friendly, featuring 12 built-in presets, but it also allows for fine-tuned adjustments and the ability to save preferred settings. Among my favorite features is the addition of a cooking window, which enables easy monitoring of food without the need to open the drawer repeatedly. Another design element I greatly appreciated and would love to see implemented in more appliances was the built-in cord wrap, which keeps the long power cord neatly stored behind the machine. ♦����Performance After consulting the manual, navigating the touchscreen panel and adjusting the preset time or temperature is fairly straightforward. While I did find that a few preset cooking times seemed excessive, with slight modifications, the food consistently turned out excellent, achieving a perfect level of crispiness. The air circulation feature ensures even cooking, producing results far superior to any air-fried food I have had in the past. I also like that the machine beeps several times and the light activates when cooking is complete. If there is one potential drawback, it is the noise level. This air fryer is noticeably louder than my previous model, emitting a sound reminiscent of an old-fashioned air popper. The cleanup process was similar to what you would expect from an air fryer, though the non-stick coating and flat-bottomed pan make the process considerably easier. My only lingering concern is the unique vent design, which may present challenges in cleaning oil buildup over time. ☑ Positives�� ＋ Allows you to enjoy fried food without all the oil ＋ Relatively user-friendly touchscreen ＋ Has a cooking window & interior light ＋ Built-in cord wrap ＋ 12 Cooking presets ＋ 6.5qt Basket capacity ＋ Fantastic heat circulation cooks evenly ＋ Gives food the perfect crispy texture ＋ Non-stick interior makes cleaning simple ☒ Negatives�� － Moderately loud － Potentially difficult to clean upper vents － Some preset times were too long
