If you are looking for a decent air fryer to use or to gift, this can be a great decision. We’ve been using it for over a year, it has helped reduce oil intake & monthly expenses.
In this PHILIPS Air Fryer HD9200 Review, you will learn how an air fryer can save money while being healthier than oil frying.
Are you still wondering whether air fryer food tastes good while being healthy? Then this article is for you.
if you are new to PadhKeDekho, we review and compare products after intensive testing for a month. This helps our readers with added value, unlike others who post tech specs and call it a day!

Features of PHILIPS Air Fryer HD9200/90
#1 Less Oil = More Savings: This air fryer “claims to use up to 90% less oil” for frying. This can be taken as better. Since oil is used in lower quality & you don’t “specifically” need LPG Gas, it will let you save cost on both!
#2 Bigger Capacity: One serving of snacks can take about 20 minutes per round. This air fryer has a big 4.1 Liter capacity that can fill a platter of 5 to 6 people at a time.
We just had a party of 6 people, the oil in the pan was ready if the air fryer got choked but no! As it turns out it handled it quite well!
#3 Not Just Frying: With PHILIPS Air Fryer HD9200/90 you can fry (obviously), grill, bake, roast, and even reheat. Initially, we focused on frying but now we tried to bake muffins it went pretty well too!
#4 Easy to Clean: Air fryers leave a lot of oil and residue while cooking. But, it’s effortless to clean. If you add two glasses of warm water, most of the oil and leftovers can be wiped with a wet towel. Feel free to use any liquid wash inside the tub and frying pan. It can be washed in the dishwasher too.
#5 Auto-Off Feature: You can set the timer and focus on other things while food is cooking. A single “ding” once the timer reaches zero is loud yet sweet. The timer control and the temperature control knob are dual-directional. So if you set a higher time or want to lower it you can do it by ‘re-turning” the knobs. You will need to apply more force while doing this.
Is There Any Taste Difference Between Air Fried or Deep Oil Fried?
Yes and no! The scale of difference will vary based on the snacks you are preparing.
Are you going to eat frozen food? You will not feel any difference between air-fried or oil-fried. We were also shocked.
We tried McCain Veg Sticks, Allu tikki, and potato shots and none at the party can guess these were prepared in the air fryer. Note: Snacks prepared in an air fryer are crisper.
If you are preparing non-frozen food like peeled potatoes for finger fries then yes, the taste will be different in the beginning.
With time, we have mastered making fries in an air fryer and have not “fried” any snacks with LPG GAS.
Indian Snacks in Air Fryer Recipes?
You can make pretty much anything non-gravy in this. The air fryer can let you fry, grill, bake, reheat, and even roast.
On weekends, we generally make snacks for the whole team. So far we’ve made both veg and non-veg snacks. Some were frozen (pre-cooked just fried) and a few were done from scratch. Here are the following dishes.
#1 McCain Snacks

| Time | Temperature | Shack Interval |
|---|---|---|
| 10-15 Mins | 160-200 Deg | Every 5 Mins |
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
Be it any frozen snack, make sure the items are oil-brushed properly. Otherwise, the dish will not be evenly cooked. If you think you did not brush perfectly, take the pan out and shake it or turn the snacks upside down after 10 to 15 minutes.
The temperature gauge is very simple to operate. Most dishes are cooked at around 160 deg and run the timer for about 20 Minutes. And if you are making potato cheese shots, be ready to “smell delicious” as it does in Burger King!
To be in full control, you can set the timer on your phone or smartwatch every 5 minutes and give the snacks a good swivel. Or with the help of a spoon turn the snacks. Though it’s not necessary the motor inside can cook the delicacies 360 degrees. Still, we do it for overall crispness.
For the first cold run, the air fryer will take about 20 minutes to prepare the dish. However, the second and third rounds will be quicker at about 12 minutes.
#2 Cheesy Garlic Bread

| Time | Temperature |
|---|---|
| 8-10 Mins | 200 Deg |
To make cheesy garlic bread you need Amul Mozilla Cheese Diced, Mayonise, freshly chopped vegetables, and seasoning.
It does not need any swivel every 5 minutes. Set the timer for 10 minutes and be ready for a cheese pull! Yum!
The bread will get a slight crisp and the cheese will be hot which is perfect for the wintertime. Do give it a try.
#3 Boneless Chiken Snacks

| Time | Temperature | Swivel Need |
|---|---|---|
| 15-20 Mins | 200 Deg | Yes, Every 5 mins |
For this recipe, you will need freshly cut boneless chicken and do the marination. Once done, put it in the air fryer. Some people after marination leave the chicken overnight in the freezer and make the dish the next day.
We, however, don’t have much time and we crave more! Be assured the chicken will be well cooked and tastes great. Just prepare green mint chutney alongside!
Note: After 10 minutes, keep an eye on every 5 minutes swivel the snacks for an evenly roast flavor!
#4 Chicken Leg Piece

| Time | Temperature | Swivel Need |
|---|---|---|
| 15-20 Mins | 200 Deg | Yes, Every 5 mins |
Like the boneless chicken recipe, leg pieces can be made similarly. But you will need to do some temperature variance. Keep the temperature at 160 deg for about 12 minutes to cook the chicken from the inside. Afterward shift to 200 Deg, it will make sure the roast is on point!
So Should you Buy PHILIPS Air Fryer HD9200/90?

From the photos and recipes above, it’s hard not to recommend this air fryer! It serves the purpose of less oil cooking, saves oil and LPG GAS, and what else do you need? Cleaning?
Thanks to the nonstick base, the overall cleaning process is simple, and if you haven’t washed the utensils ever in life!
Avoid using dishwashing soaps or stainless steel scrubbers it can damage the utensils. And also do not wash the electrical or upper part of the air fryer with water or anything. A wet tissue will be enough to wipe the oil stains or fingerprints.
We are quite happy with the PHILIPS Air Fryer HD9200/90 and we recommend you guys check it out!

- Hammer Bash Max Review | The Best headphone Under 2500 Rs?If you are looking for comfortable over-ear headphones that you can wear for long hours, this is the one to buy! Other than comfort, the looks are quite spectacular too! What about other things? Well, here’s the Hammer Bash Max Review after 7 months of use! It packs everything a headphone around 2.5k should have like; USB-C Charging, Mostly fabric body, premium looks, Dual Bluetooth connection, etc. But still, there are many things that we experienced in the past 4 months. So let’s talk about that. If you are new to PadhkeDekho, we use a product for a month before publishing our statistics. All the testing was done indoors, outdoors, during transit, and in all the other places where users use headphones so that our readers get the best information. In this Hammer Bash Max review, you will learn about the Pros and cons, Specs, Unboxing experience, Built Quality, Looks, Comfort, Features, Audio Quality, Mic Quality, Battery Backup, and finally, our verdict on whether you should buy it or not. With that said, let’s begin the Hammer headphone review with pros and cons. Hammer Bash Max Specifications FeatureValueBluetooth Version5.3Dual Bluetooth ConnecitonYesTiltable/FoldableYes/NoAudio Drivers (MM)40Frequency Range2.402 GHz – 2.480 GHzBattery mAh3.7v, 500Charging Voltage5V/1AMedia ControlsTouch Panel on Right Earcup Color Options3Check More Specs onAmazon Built Quality (10/10) The moment you hold the headphones, it’s all cloth & soft fabric on your fingertips. Be it the headband or earcups you will feel like it’s a premium product. Other than fabric, you will feel some plastic for headband adjusters & tilt mechanism. The adjusters have a common slid-in and-out design with 8 levels of adjustments. So far the headband adjusters work fine and there’s no squeaking or panel plastic noise. Just below the headband, you will see the tiltable earcups. Thanks to the design, you can flat out the earcups and rest them on the neck or in the backpack when traveling. On the right ear cup, you will see the touch controls & single button to control media or accept or end the call. It’s quite a neat headphone. What about durability? This headphone has visited the gym a few times, jogging sessions, late-night movie marathons, ruff handling, etc. and it’s in implacable condition. Sure, we will test it more and keep updating the article as time passes. So at the moment, the built quality is quite good and Hammer Bash Max gets a 9/10 in this department. Looks (10/10) Hands down, Hammer Bash Max is the best-looking headphone under 3000 Rs. Starting from the ear cups the headband design is very futuristic. The fabric on the headband (the top and bottom offer different designs) makes it look very premium. It shows attention to detail. The ear cup fabric speaks of quality. It is a soft and breathable material that snugs so well that you will not wish to remove it even after long sessions. We’ve talked more about it in the Comfort section. We bought Cool Grey color and the overall color scheme feels like a 5000 Rs headphones. It also comes in Apricot and Black color as well. Hammer has not offered any color combination, it’s pure single color but the plastic and fabric combination gives it a remarkable presence. I liked the “fake leather” treatment on the earcups fabric Hammer Bash Max looks great so here’s 5/5 for that! Comfort & Grip (9/10) When it comes to comfort nothing beats Over-Ear headphones. This statement is true for Hammer Bash Max as well. The ear cup padding is very soft, the fabric on the headband generates a firm grip and the best part is the clamping force, It is so firm that the headphones rest around the ears with utmost comfort. Since the earcups have tiltablity, you will find your sweet spot the moment you wear these. Hammer Bash Max is a very comfortable headphone that you can easily wear for 4+ hours. So if you are looking for an over-ear headphone that you can wear for long hours without a single minute of discomfort, this is the one to get. What about workouts or gym use? You can wear it to the gym. The clamping force is high and the headphones stay on even during high-intensity movements. I do a lot of cardio activities and it did not fall even once. It’s a different breed of over-ear headphones that check marks for comfort & grip during workouts. So, Hammer Bash Max gets a solid 9/10 for comfort & workout-centric nature. Features (9/10) #1 Dual Bluetooth Connection: Hammer Bash Max can be paired to two devices simultaneously. This is a great feature if you switch between two devices quite often. So, you are watching a movie on your laptop and get a call on your phone. You can accept it and take the call via the headphones. #2 Touch Controls: Usually headphones have physical buttons to increase/decrease the volume, move to the next track, or repeat. But Hammer added touch controls to this headphone and things are working quite well. You will need to spend some time before getting used to it. But before that please remove the sticker for an even better response. #3 Full-Tiltable Headphone: The headband allows 90-degree revolvable ear cups. As a result, you can tilt the earcups completely 90 degrees and lay the headphones straight in your bag pack. This helps in better space management during travel. Also, it will enhance comfort if you keep the headphones on your neck during travels. #4 Bluetooth 5.3: Under 3000 Rs many headphones offer Bluetooth 5.0. But the latest version is 5.3 and that’s what Hammer offered. We are not saying 5.0 is bad, but we have experienced better reception with a higher Bluetooth version of audio gear. As a result, we did not face audio breaking or disturbance even when the paired device was about 5 to 6 meters away in the bag while I was working out. #5 IPX3 Water Resistance: When a headphone can be used in a gym or for jogging some amount of water resistance is a must. Because water can cause damage in the long run with the Hammer Bash Max, you get IPX3 water resistance that will allow you to focus more on the workout than the water damage! Audio Quality (8/10) This is the first time we’ve tried Hammer headphones and it is good. Hammer Bash Max comes with a 40mm audio driver. As you know, we never boast an audio gear with the driver size as it is just marketing. What matters is how good the quality of the driver is. Let’s talk about that. The very first thing you will notice is the distortion-free sound signature. Yes, we’ve tested a variety of songs, podcasts, media content, etc, and nothing baffled the audio drivers. Kudos to Hammer for that. The overall audio quality is crisp and full of detail. The vocals, instruments, and trebles are the strong suit. The bass is decent, certainly not a bass-heavy headphone. You will enjoy media consumption or listening to music. Though the sound signature is good we felt the loudness could’ve been better. if you are coming from Infinity or BoAt headphones you will feel the volume is around 80%. This is not bad! Because it makes Hammer Bash Max a headphone with no audio leak you can wear it anywhere without worrying what people will “think” about what you are listing. We had never been so confident about headphones in the outdoors. So to sum up, the overall audio quality is quite good with plenty of details in vocals, instruments, and even trebles but the bass is decent not the best. Score Card ValueVocals9.5/10Treble9/10Bass7.5/10Overall Loudness8/10Overall Clarity9/10Best Buy LinkAmazon Therefore, Hammer Bash Max gets 8/10. Call/Mic Quality (8.5/10) Most headphones offer a microphone but only a few are good for taking calls and Hammer Bash Max is on it! Though there’s only a single microphone on the right earcup it picks up voice quite clearly. There will be no complaints of static disturbance or low volume from the other person on the call. Moreover, the mic is so responsive it picks up your voice even if you whisper. Since there’s no ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) mic picks ambient noise. Hence, if you have a lot of disturbance or people talking loudly in your proximity it will be transferred as is. During our testing of the mic indoors as well as outdoors, we found it quite good and did not have a single network disturbance or interference. So for calling, Hammer Bash Max gets an 8.5/10. Battery Backup & Charging (8/10) Over-ear headphones are known for their battery backup and Hammer Bash Max is no expectation either! It packs in a 500 mAh battery and can provide juice for about 18 hours. So, what are the real-world figures? You can expect anywhere between 12 to 15 hours even with Dual Bluetooth Connected Devices and max volume. If you use headphones for 2 hours a day, expect a little over 1 week. Everyone has a different listing pattern so can’t predict an “exact” number, however, if you prefer to listen to music at around 60 to 80% volume, then you will move closer to the claimed figures. In terms of battery backup, you will not be disappointed. However, you should also know that there’s no provision for aux-in. This means you will not be able to use this headphone as a wired headphone. This can be a deal breaker for many, so choose accordingly. So with lightweight, we have no issues with the battery backup. Thus, Hammer Bash Max gets 8/10. What About Charging? Hammer Bash Max comes with a USB-C cable and supports fast charging too. Though, that’s not mentioned anywhere on the website. On the user manual, it says to use 5V/1A voltage. I guess using a higher-powered charge can damage the battery. However, for the past 4 months we have been using a 20-watt charger, it reached from 10 to 100% in 2 hours and 10 mins. You can get even better results with 40 or 60-watt chargers. Do not worry it will not damage the headphones. New chargers are smart they “only” send “current” the headphone or audio gear can handle. if you are a casual user who uses headphones for 2 to 3 hours a day, you will be fine for a week. So we do not mind the battery backup. There could have been an aux-in mode. Should You Buy Hammer Bash Max? Yes, if you are looking for a comfortable headphone. Other reasons to buy it are the premium built quality, best in-hand feel, workout friendly, good mic for calling, overall good audio quality, dual Bluetooth connection, and more than a week’s battery backup! Why you should not buy Hammer Bash Max? There’s some latency during gaming and the lack of “aux-in” does pinch being a gamer. Another reason is bass. It’s decent but certainly not a bass-heavy headphone as the brand claims. As far as warranty goes, Hammer gives only 6 months of warranty which you should also know. With all the pros and cons, we think Hammer Bash Max is a good headphone for the price especially since the build/feel are the biggest highlight. This is the most premium headphone you can get under 3000 Rs. Is it the best for audio quality? Well, yes, if bass is not your only parameter. Out of 10, the Hammer Bash Max gets an 8.5/10 from us.
