I got the non-digital version of this air fryer last time Woot offered them. It works OK but is not the miracle device it’s made out to be. The container is a bit small; it cannot fit one sliced potato’s worth of chips or fries at at time because they’ll layer and keep parts of each other from getting cooked. The removable pan is dishwasher-safe which is a very good thing as they’re near impossible to wash by hand. It’s a cute toy but I’m unsure it works much better than a regular oven.

Had a steak for lunch today cooked in the airfryer. Came out great.

If you heat up frozen foods often, this does it in half the time of a traditional oven.

It can also crisp foods you cook in the microwave if you put it in for a couple of minutes.

Think of it as a quick convection oven instead of a fryer. I’ve been pleased with mine (non-digital version from woot a couple of years ago).

Yeah, like the last post says the air fryer isn’t a miracle machine that can make food taste deep fried without oil. That said it does a decent job though if you use it for the right things. It does a great job with getting things crispy where a microwave would just sog it out and frozen french fries turn out great without having to heat up the regular oven. Not quite as good as deep fried but pretty close as long as you move the fries in the basket ever few minutes during cooking.

(I have a cheaper off-brand product but I can’t imagine that this Phillips one is any worse than mine. It likely is the same or better.)

I bought the Avance pasta maker in a previous woot a couple years ago (my model did not have the built in scale, but seems to be the same otherwise). This is an excellent pasta maker - super easy to clean, makes great pasta, and you can make a lot of different types of pasta with the different discs.

If you are looking to make pasta regularly, this is well worth the price. (I actually used mine often enough to break it, and via the non-Philips refurb 1yr warranty on mine got the replacement part thru the mail in a week - yay!)

For those interested, I actually reviewed it in some detail on my personal food blog: http://epicurean.nirdvana.com/philips-healthy-cook-hr235705-avance-collection-pasta-maker/

I bought this version of the Air Fryer on sale at Best Buy and this is about $50 cheaper than I got it for. I love the machine and the container is fine for doing smaller portions of food. This looks like a good buy.

Air Fryer is a great device but unfortunately for Woot, Philips has blown these out to liquidators. You can find the analog model on eBay for $70 and the digital model for $99

Look, I’m not gonna sugar-coat it. I woot! (a portmanteau of “waste” and “woot!”) a lot of money on limited-use appliances that I use a couple times then stash in the closet until my wife threatens to throw them away if I don’t use 'em soon, so I dehydrate some fruit or make some texas-shaped waffles or spiral-cut a zucchini and then throw the thing back into the pantry.

But I’ve been super surprised by how often I use the pasta maker. It has earned one of the coveted “frequent use” spaces on the kitchen counter.
By frequency of use, the counter appliances are: Coffee maker, toaster, blender, pasta maker, food sealer, bread maker, can opener.

Easy to use; my five year old loves the instructional videos and has, I am not joking, made pasta from scratch without our involvement or awareness, up to the point when he needed boiling water. This is a child who regularly takes the position that assembly of a basic sandwich is beyond his culinary capability.

You just need flour, water, and sometimes eggs, and you can get a variety of fresh pasta shapes. Throw in some whole wheat or add some tomato paste or pureed spinach and things get fancy in a hurry. Sometimes I just use a bit of green food coloring and tell my wife it’s healthy kale pasta.

I no longer stockpile dried noodles, and it’s fast enough I can make a last-minute poorly-planned carbo-loading meal as long as there’s flour in the house.

what kind of use are we talking to break it? I hope for this amount of money it lasts a bit.
