The Philips HD9252 is the air fryer most Indian kitchens end up shortlisting, and for good reason: it is compact, reliable, and made by the brand that invented Rapid Air technology. Its price moves around a lot between sales, so check the live price and history below before paying MRP anywhere.
PHILIPS Digital Airfryer with Touch Panel, 4.1L, with RapidAir Technology,with additional 1 Yr Warranty by Philips, 7 Pre-set Menu (HD9252/90)(Black), Large
What you get
The 4.1 litre basket comfortably cooks for two to three people. Rapid Air circulation crisps fries, pakoras and even leftover pizza using up to 90% less oil than deep frying. The digital touch panel has presets for common dishes, the basket is dishwasher safe, and the compact footprint fits smaller counters. Wattage is 1,400W, so it will not overload a normal kitchen circuit.
Who should buy it
- Couples and small families cooking snacks and one-dish meals
- Anyone switching from deep frying for health reasons
- Buyers who want the safest brand pick rather than the cheapest option
