Back to the Philips Air Fryer , it is currently one of Amazon’s top choices and boasts a 4.6 star rating from happy shoppers. Many reviewers praised the device for its cooking results, while one shopper dubbed it a ‘game-changer’ for the kitchen. One delighted shopper said: “A really great quality air fryer but i would expect nothing less from this brand. The air fryer is a nice size and comes with two drawers, it is really easy to clean. Cooks the food well. Happy with this.” With a five-star reviewer also adding: “Since entering the world of the airfryer I have not used my main oven. These devices cook food faster, and certain foods like chips, chicken wings, etc. come out ridiculously crispy. The Philips airfryer is a thing of beauty, it is slightly smaller than my Devology and fits nicely on the countertop next to it.” However, a few shoppers grumbled over the fact that the air fryer does not come with a physical instruction manual. One person said: “Could do with a basic information leaflet for beginners explaining symbols.” With another customer agreeing: “A word of warning to anyone thinking of buying this item. You have to go online for how to use. I managed to register to get my 2yrs guarantee. Couldn’t see the very small writing on my I-phone. When did instruction books go out of fashion.” Despite this, one top reviewer commented: “I really like the build quality of this and the display makes it easy to use. The size is ideal for a family. It’s good too that you can make one bigger drawer. Fair value for money as it’s a quality item.” With a sixth shopper praising: “This Philips dual basket air fryer has been a total game-changer in our kitchen. From the moment we unboxed it, the build quality felt premium—sturdy, sleek, and just what you’d expect from Philips. “The 7.1L capacity is surprisingly spacious, and the dual baskets make it so easy to cook different things at the same time. No more waiting around while one batch finishes.” To buy the Philips Dual Basket Airfryer 1000 Series, click HERE.
