Load capacity & programs
Philips airfryer L: 0.8kg
The Philips Airfryer L has a load capacity of 0.8kg. This allows you to fry about 4 servings in one go. Due to its limited load capacity, this small airfryer isn't suitable for larger dishes like a casserole. This model has 7 automatic programs. There's a program for frozen fries, frozen snacks, chicken drum sticks, fish, and vegetables, for example. That's convenient, because you won't have to think about the right settings anymore.
Philips airfryer XL: 1.2kg
The Philips airfryer XL has a larger load capacity than the L thanks to the 1.2kg load capacity. This 1.2kg load capacity allows you to easily fry up to 5 servings of fries in one go. Just like the L model, this airfryer has 7 automatic programs.
Accessories
Philips Airfryer L: 1 accessory
There's 1 accessory available for the Philips airfryer L. With the baking pan accessory, you can also make oven dishes in your airfryer, such as bread, cake, or quiche. You also get silicone muffin liners, so you can bake muffins as well.
Philips Airfryer XL: multiple accessories
There are 2 accessories available for the XL model. Just like with the L airfryer, you can expand the airfryer with a baking pan. With the frying rack, you can create an extra level in your airfryer. For example, you can prepare vegetables at the bottom of the airfryer and fish on the frying rack at the same time.
Frying technology & cleaning
The L and the XL use the same frying technology, which is the Rapid Air technology. The star-shaped bottom distributes swirling hot air through the pan. This way, the ingredients are fried evenly on all sides and you get a crispy frying result. In addition, a Philips airfryer allows you to prepare food more energy-efficiently than an oven does. The separate parts of both airfryers are dishwasher-safe. So after use, you can easily clean the airfryer.
Connected models
In addition to the regular L and XL airfryers, there's also the XL Connected. The Connected is mostly the same as the regular models, but you can connect this airfryer to your phone. Choose a recipe via the app and it'll send it to the airfryer. After that, you can monitor the preparation process on your phone. So you won't have to get off the couch. This airfryer is also suitable for Amazon Alexa. This way, you can even control the airfryer with your voice.
Conclusion
The main difference between the Philips airfryer L and XL is the size. In the L, you can fry 4 portions of fries in one go. In the XL, that's up to 5 portions. You can expand the airfryer XL with 2 accessories. You can only expand the L model with the baking pan. Which model suits you best depends on the size of your family and what you want to prepare with it.
