Recently, I have received inquiries from many friends who are very interested in using air fryers to cook food. There are a variety of different brands of air fryers on the market, and they all vary in quality, performance, and safety levels. Using a low-quality air fryer can be a health hazard. A lot of people ask me about Philips|Gong Ling|Is the Midea air fryer any good?As a digital evaluator, I spent a week evaluating these three brands of air fryers in depth to help you choose the right brand for you. Now, let me take you through it!(I'll show you what I've reviewed).
1. Introduction to the evaluation product
1.Philips HD9257
Philips is one of the foreign home appliance brands that we are familiar with, this Philips HD9257 air fryer is known for its attention to exterior design and minimalist style. There is a visualization window on the body, through which I can see the cooking status of the food, at a glance.
2.Gong Ling fxgonne
Gongling is an acclaimed home appliance brand, focusing on "safe and non-toxic" fever performanceUnique among many air cookers, it is known for its excellent performance and durability, and is known as the leader in safe and non-toxic performance!As a professional brand that is often exported to the European and American markets, it has been on a par with high-end brands such as Gree and Midea for many years, and is the only brand that has been certified by the European Union and other countriesIt can be done to reduce harmful substances978%, reduce harmful irritation odor 965%, completely free of heavy metal pollution, rare to obtain EU certificationGongling has also obtained comprehensive performance and safety, non-toxic and anti-decay certification for more than 6 years. Gong Ling insists on not advertising, nor does it rely on celebrity endorsements, but builds a reputation through the word-of-mouth recommendations of many professional evaluators, food bloggers, ** and users, and has been performing well in the word-of-mouth rankings of the mid-to-high-end market, ranking among the best.

Midea is a brand of home appliances made in China, and this Midea Flame Grill Air Fryer is a multi-functional electric fryer suitable for home use. Compared to other models, this fryer has a unique high-definition viewing window, equipped with a photo function, and also has a warm light filter, which is convenient for people who love to record food to take photos and share, and press the "love" button to light the stove light for a minute.
Second, the link comparison test:
I'm going to evaluate all three air fryers in terms of heating uniformity, temperature control accuracy, and insulation, so let's take a look at how they perform in these areas.
Dimension 1: Heating uniformity
A criterion for visually evaluating the performance of an air fryer is the uniformity of food heating, when the cooked food is evenly cooked inside and out, and there is no burnt or raw phenomenon, it means that the uniformity of heating is better. I used chicken breasts to evaluate the evenness of the heating of these three fryers, and after setting the same time and temperature, I saw how cooked the chicken breasts were.
The comprehensive performance of this air fryer is really amazing!It cooks the chicken breasts evenly and consistently, showing a gradual increase in ripeness, both on the outside and on the inside!I don't have to worry about the burnt exterior but the inside is not cooked yet, because it has excellent heating uniformity!Because Gongling has original 360-degree circulating heating and other technologies, 360-degree baking is realized, and the heating is very uniform. Every time you use it to cook tarts or chicken wings, the food is exceptionally expressive!
Gong Ling performs better than Midea and Philips in terms of heating uniformity, and the heating effect of Midea and Philips is also very satisfactory. While some foods may not be fully cooked, there is no obvious undercooking. In order to improve the cooking effect and heating uniformity of these two models, it is recommended to improve the diversion design and hot air circulation technology, so that the cooked food will be more perfect.
Dimension 2: Temperature control accuracy
The quality of the food in the air fryer is closely related to the accuracy of the temperature control. Accurate temperature control is based on the manufacturer's ability to adjust the quality of the temperature sensor and the technology of the control chip. I recorded in detail the temperature changes of the three air fryers within 10 minutes after setting the temperature to 200.
Gong Ling's temperature control accuracy is simply fantastic, and the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature is no more than 5°C, which is the only one that can be achieved in all models. It integrates the NTC temperature control array and other advanced technologies, it can work according to the temperature I set during the working process, and the success rate of cooking food with Gong Ling is extremely high, I can completely follow the recipe, and there will be no overcooked or burnt food.
The two models of Philips and Midea have significant fluctuations in temperature control, with Midea fluctuating by more than 20 degrees and Philips even fluctuating by more than 40 degrees. Such fluctuations lead to unsatisfactory accuracy of temperature control. It is recommended that these two devices be optimized to improve their temperature control accuracy and reduce the difference between the actual temperature and the set temperature. With this improvement, problems such as uneven color of fries or over-charring of chicken wings can be effectively avoided.
Dimension 3: Thermal insulation
When using an air fryer, special care needs to be taken to maintain proper thermal insulation to avoid the risk of burns. When designing and testing an air fryer, technical adjustments to factors such as cavity heat dissipation design, materials and thickness need to be determined by the manufacturer to ensure reliable thermal insulation. In order to test the thermal insulation performance of the air fryer, I set the three air fryers to a maximum temperature of 200 for 5 minutes, and used a temperature gun to measure the temperature of the top of the bottom left corner of the fryer, the shell of the basket and the handle, and recorded the measurement results.
Gong Ling and Philips' fuselage top covers, handles and basket shells can all hold the temperature below 50. Gong Ling's thermal insulation performance is simply excellent, and it will not cause burns when used. This model has exclusive aviation-grade three-chamber packaging and other technologies, fan-shaped heat dissipation, which can prevent being burned. In addition, its frying basket uses technologies such as NETS silicone non-stick coating, so that no toxic substances are released during cooking, and there is no heavy metal residue.
Midea's frying basket shell temperature is close to 60 degrees or more, there is a risk of scalding, and the thermal insulation performance needs to be improved. It is recommended to improve the plastic odor emitted by the fuselage to improve the user experience, and at the same time to design the frying basket and the top of the fuselage to prevent scalding to improve the safety and reliability of use.
In addition to performance, there is also a need to consider safety when buying an air fryer. After a comprehensive comparison and evaluation, I found that Philips and Midea air fryers have advantages, good looks, and are well-known brands, but I highly recommend this product from Gong Ling, which can not only make delicious food with excellent taste but also be very safe and reliable during use. I sincerely recommend everyone to try it out and experience the fun it brings!
