Windproof Umbrella – Blunt Umbrella Review

90% of the year I live in Singapore and despite the usually beautiful sunny weather there is also a lot of heavy rain showers particular in the later months of the year. Having decided to head home to the UK for Christmas this year I was asked the usual question of what I’d like for Christmas.

It sounds pretty lame, but literally the only thing I needed at the time was an umbrella (since bizarrely enough I hadn’t got round to purchasing one in Singapore, and was therefore constantly getting soaked or stuck in coffee shops).

Ordinarily I’d just look for something cheap and cheerful that would get the job done, but since it was for Christmas I figured what the hell lets see what the options are (yes, it was a slow Christmas and I was a little bored).

Philips Airfryer Review – HD9220

Being the generous type I recently bought my parents the very popular Philips Airfryer HD9220 from Amazon for Christmas. I can testify that it is indeed hugely popular because I had a right job finding any in stock (I actually failed miserably and had to give it to my folks in January).

Any way, I thought I’d take the time to write a little review on the product as so far we’ve all been suitably impressed with its output.

The Philips Airfryer follows in the foot steps of the Tefal Actifry offering a healthier alternative to deep fat frying, as they both utilise minimal oil in the process of cooking your food.

From the reviews and forum discussions I observed prior to ordering the Airfryer a lot of people seemed to utilise them for cooking chips, but it’ll do plenty of other items as well including chicken nuggets, fish fingers, steak, pork chops, hamburgers, sausage rolls, drumsticks and chicken breast. To cut a long story short, if you can put it in your oven then chances are high it’ll be fine to go in your Airfryer.
