5000 Series

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a family of three, including a four-year-old, we wanted an air fryer that could handle everything from small lunches to larger family meals without being complicated to use. The Philips 5000 Series Megabasket has been excellent for this. The interchangeable basket setup is probably my favourite everyday feature. Being able to cook a small portion in the 3L section, use the larger 6L section or remove the divider entirely for a massive 9.5L basket is incredibly convenient. Switching configurations takes seconds. We’ve used it for cooking meals, reheating leftovers, warming bagels and toasting buns for lunch. It’s also been great for fish, chips and vegetables, with consistent cooking results across our different uses. Another thing that surprised us was how quiet it is. When running just the smaller basket, it’s barely noticeable. Cleaning is refreshingly straightforward thanks to the SteamClean function. It helps loosen food residue, so we’ve generally only needed to give everything a rinse afterwards. There is one thing worth being aware of, though. Steam is released from the rear during cleaning, and when we initially positioned ours close to the wall, it left a small mark. I’d definitely recommend leaving adequate space behind it. Despite that minor issue, it’s a really practical, well-designed appliance that fits brilliantly into our family routine. It’s a very large machine, I prefer the format of this rather than the tall ones you might struggle to fit in a cupboard or on the side but it’s large enough that it might need some storage consideration.

I have been using the at fryer for a few week and found it easy to use and the food is very tasty using the steam frying option, the option of the single basket is great for doing a medium size chicken

Absolutely love this Philips 5000 Series air fryer. I genuinely use it around 80% of the time now and it has completely reignited my passion for cooking. It’s become one of those appliances you wonder how you ever lived without. I cook all sorts of things in it, from chicken and salmon to roast potatoes, vegetables, dim sum and gyoza. The steam function is brilliant, especially for veggies and dumplings, and the steam fry feature keeps chicken wonderfully juicy while still giving great colour and texture. The Rapid Air technology makes fantastic crispy fries, honestly far better than the results I used to get from my old air fryer. Everything cooks quickly and evenly, and the recipes in the Philips app are genuinely useful and inspiring rather than just filler content. It’s also very easy to use and quick to clean, which means I end up using it even more. The stainless steel finish looks premium and wipes clean effortlessly, so it still looks smart on the countertop. An excellent appliance overall and one of the best kitchen purchases I’ve made in years.

Replaced my original Philips Airfryer after several years of heavy use with this duel basket. It's absolutely lived up to expectation and more. The steam feature is brilliant and the combined feature a stroke of genius. Made some fantastic Crispy Chicken strips and delicious vegetable dishes with this machine. It makes fish and chip night so easy. My oven is only getting light use now, which is saving me money. Best appliance in the kitchen and it's getting used more or less daily!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Philips air fryer for about two months now, and I’m really impressed with it! The dual baskets are a fantastic feature, letting me cook two different foods at once, and the bigger basket is perfect for larger meals. The preset cooking settings are super handy, making it easy to cook just about anything. I also love the shake reminder—it takes the guesswork out of cooking! The steam clean function is another great touch, making it so much easier to clean. One thing to keep in mind is that the air fryer is on the larger side but ideal for bigger families. The instructions are available online instead of being included in the box, but we were able to print them out for easy reference. All in all, I highly recommend this air fryer—it’s made cooking for our family of five much quicker and more convenient!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The larger compartment can self clean, which is very helpful. I like that there are two different compartments of different sizes to allow you to cook bigger or smaller items, and you can sync it for both to cook at the same time. It hardly makes any noise when cooking, but it could be improved by making a little more noise at the end to let you know it is done. It has a large capacity and can easily be used to cook a meal to feed a family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] *tried uploading videos but it won't let me* Capacity of the two baskets is great! Can fit lots in them, but only the larger has the steam function. While there's lots of buttons and looks intimidating, the instructions are well written and is easy to get used to. Noise level is great, if anything the beep is a little too quiet! But can't complain at noise level when cooking, it only really makes noise when it's using the steam function. Cleaning function is okay, not good on grease and it takes 20 mins, but its handy sometimes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I already have an air fryer so was interested to see how this would be against it. It's very compact for its size. One side offers traditional air frying, and the other offers steaming as well as air frying. This offers much more versatility. The baskets are a decent size and easy to clean. The steaming function is amazing however you do need to make sure that there is space for it to vent upwards, initially this left condensation on the wall when we used it under a cupboard. Generally can not fault it, I've thrown away my other air fryer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you Influenster this was a wonderful opportunity, Was very easy to use. Have two baskets so is very versatile. The basket are spacious. The colours are very sleek. Looks very stylish. Inside was easy to lift the baskets & the tray to clean. The noise wasn’t loud. Whatever I have cooked always came out lovely. Bigger basket I used for my main meals, smaller basket I cook my sides, An advantage I loved in this I don’t need to turn my food around. Cooks evenly, I never used Air Fryer so this was an eye opener. Will definitely be using this more than cooking on the cooker, Much healthier way of cooking. My Kids said it taste better in the Air Fryer. This Air Fryer I do highly recommend. Only downside was would like a manual. I do have the App which does help. Will explore more recipes on the app
