The Philips Premium Airfryer XXL is a well-built air fryer that excels at crisping a big batch of fries.
There's no preheat required on the Philips, however food generally needed more time to fry than suggested.
As it operates, the air fryer has a dBA reading of 64.7, which is one of the noisiest air fryers we had on test.

Operating noise: 60.9 dB

everything we cooked including fries, frozen steak-cut chips, and chicken wings had a satisfying crunch.
This is one of the most expensive air fryers on the market.
it's missing a reminder to shake function, which is disappointing.
