Philips Premium Airfryer XXL HD9650/ 96 - 7.3-Liter Capacity

Philips Premium Airfryer XXL HD9650/96 is a large countertop air fryer with a 7.3-liter pan, a digital control panel, and room for meals intended for up to six portions. The black appliance combines hot-air cooking with a fat-removal insert and a keep-warm function.

Large Capacity Cooking

The US model has a 1.4-kilogram basket capacity and can cook a whole chicken or up to 1.4 kilograms of fries, according to Philips specifications. Philips lists a two-year warranty and describes the appliance as suitable for frying, baking, grilling, roasting, and reheating.

The HD9650/96 uses Twin TurboStar technology and Rapid Air circulation. Its digital interface includes five preset programs, while the keep-warm setting holds cooked food for up to 30 minutes.

Controls And Cleaning

The appliance reaches a maximum temperature of 392 degrees Fahrenheit, supports cooking times of up to 60 minutes, and includes a removable basket and drawer. Philips says the removable parts are dishwasher-safe.

Independent testing found the XXL model bulky for a countertop appliance. TechRadar measured the HD9650 design at 17 by 12.6 by 12.4 inches and recorded operating noise at 60.9 decibels. The review also noted that the model lacks an automatic shake reminder.

US Model Status

Best Buy identifies the exact US model as HD9650/96, with a listed capacity of 7 quarts and power of 1,725 watts. The retailer marks the product as no longer available in new condition, placing the appliance in the discontinued category rather than the current Philips lineup.

The closest practical comparison is a smaller air fryer. TechRadar lists Philips Essential Airfryer HD9252/91 at 5 quarts, compared with 7.3 quarts for the HD9650/96. That capacity difference favors batch cooking, while the larger body requires more counter space.

Who It Suits

The Philips Premium Airfryer XXL HD9650/96 fits households that need a single large basket for several servings, whole-chicken cooking, or repeated batches. Its five presets, digital controls, dishwasher-safe removable parts, and 30-minute keep-warm function cover the main countertop-air-fryer tasks.

The limits are equally concrete: the unit is discontinued in the US, its footprint is substantial, and testing found no shake reminder. The model makes the most sense for users who value its large 7.3-liter capacity and can accommodate its countertop size.
