Short answer

The top pick is Philips Digital Airfryer HD9252/90 4.1L (opens in a new tab), which Philips sells with a digital touch panel and a two-year warranty. Its timer runs from zero to 60 minutes, and the maker says the panel gives precise control for recipes. The choice here is between six air fryers sized from 4 to 4.5 L.

Three of them are Philips models, and two of those use knobs instead of a touch panel. KENT Ultra Digital Air Fryer 4.5L (opens in a new tab) adds a lit glass window and a list of preset programmes. The two Prestige group models carry ISI certification and a shorter warranty.

How to choose

Capacity runs from 4 to 4.5 L across these six, so the gap is small. The bigger differences sit in controls, presets and warranty.

Controls split into two groups. HD9252/90, KENT Ultra, Judge InstaAir and Nutrifry use touch panels. HD9200/90 and NA120/00 use a timer knob and a temperature knob.

Presets are named by three makers. KENT, Judge and Nutrifry list eight each. The three Philips models do not state any.

Warranty varies. The three Philips models carry two years. Judge and Prestige carry one year. KENT does not state a term.

Cleaning and safety lines are uneven. Only HD9200/90 says the basket and pan are dishwasher safe. Judge pauses cooking when the basket comes out, and Nutrifry has an interlock that stops operation. Cord length is given for the Philips models only.

Read each retailer page closely. Three listings show two values for one spec, and the guide shows both. For other sizes, see our best 5 litre air fryer and best 6 litre air fryer guides. The best air fryer brand, best air fryer for home and best air fryer oven guides cover wider choices. The main air fryers page lists them all.

Frequently asked questions

Which of these lists the most presets?

KENT Ultra, Judge InstaAir and Nutrifry each name eight. The three Philips models state none.

Which model has dishwasher-safe parts?

Only the Philips HD9200/90 says so, naming the basket and the pan. The other five pages are silent on the point.

Do these air fryers switch off on their own?

KENT and Judge both state auto shut-off. Philips says the NA120/00 stops when its timer hits zero. Nutrifry has an interlock that halts operation without the basket.

How do the three Philips models differ?

The HD9252/90 has a touch panel, while the other two use knobs. The HD9200/90 has the longest cord and dishwasher-safe parts. The NA120/00 adds an automatic shut-off at zero.

How do the oil claims compare?

Philips quotes a larger cut than the other three makers. These figures are maker claims, and this guide has not checked them.

Why do some listings show two values for one spec?

Judge, HD9252/90 and NA120/00 each show a mismatch between the title or feature list and the spec table. Check the retailer page for the current figure.
