Philips Airfryer or Tefal Actifry

Philips has a wide range of airfryers of various sizes. For the largest households of about 6 people, there is the Philips Airfryer XXL. Use this to prepare 1.4 kg of fries at once. Although it has a large capacity, this model is much smaller in size than the Tefal XXL version.

• Philips Airfryer XXL is more compact
• Preheating isn't required

• Has 0.3kg less load capacity

Tefal airfryers come in various shapes and size. This includes both square and round models. The largest Express XXL, a square model, allows you to prepare 1.7 kg of fries at once. This airfryer is a lot bigger than the XXL version of Philips. This also means that the machine takes up more space on your counter.

• Has 0.3kg more load capacity

• The ActiFry Express XXL is larger
• Preheating is required

In the XL variant, you can prepare 1.2kg of snacks quickly thanks to the shorter preheating time. It takes some practice to set the right time and temperature, but it gives you more control over how your snacks come out of the fryer. To keep an eye on the snacks, you have to extend the inner pan. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a see-through window. You also have to take the pan out to mix the fries, which means extra cooking time.

• Shorter preheating time
• A lot of influence over the result

• You have to scoop ingredients yourself

The Tefal ActiFry FZ7600 has a load capacity of 1.2kg. Because you only have to set the preparation time, the ActiFry is easy to use. All you need to do is preheat the airfryer before you start cooking. Thanks to the transparent top, you can easily keep an eye on your fries and the rotating arm will automatically turn them over. Do keep in mind that the exterior of the Actifry can get extremely hot while it's on.

• Has a see-through window
• Turns the ingredients automatically

• The exterior becomes very hot
