Pros
Cons
Exceptional features
So pleased we purchased the Phillips 5000 Airfryer. We have used it frequently and find it easy to use and it cooks the food to perfection. Should have bought one sooner.

Perfect for my use
Excellent air flyer love that l can cook 2 seperate foods at the same time. Perfect for my use. The surface area isn’t too big but for 2 max 3 people, small eaters it is perfect

Excellent product
it’s improved and bakes faster, with quicker frying times. It uses less power while cooking more effectively. The best part is steam cooking, which self-cleans, and finishing with the air-fry option gives the best overall steam-cooking experience

Incredibly convenient and versaltile Philip XXL dual basket air fryer
We bought the Philip XXL dual basket steam air fryer black in July 2026. We used it to cook many meals, including chicken schitnzel in one basket and chip, onion ring in the other basket at the same time. We also use it to cook beef sausage roll or sweet puff pastry like apple turnover ( don't use baking paper when cooking puff pastry in air fryer). Beside that, I can use steam function to steam pear, apple for our baby. And the self cleaning function makes it so easy to clean, no scrubbing required.

Great Air Fryer for the Family
Really happy with this air fryer. The capacity is great for family cooking, and the dual baskets make it easy to cook two things at the same time. Food comes out crispy with very little oil, and the steam function is a really nice addition. Easy to use and saves a lot of time. Definitely recommend it.

Best air fryer
This is our second Philips air fryer and both have been awesome. We upgraded to this one as our old one was too small. Have 2 sections has made a huge difference and I love the steam clean function. Would definitely recommend.

Steam is a fantastic feature
Best air fryer we have owned, easy to operate, haven’t had a failure yet. It would be good if a future model would have steam to both drawers, and the alarm sound is louder.

Takes up alot of space but cooks better than non steam airfryer.
The smaller draw is handy, but has no steam or clean function, its just a small airfryer section. The steam x airfry function works well for dumplings. The cleaning function seems good. Overall it is quite large, and has a lot of steam poring out the vents at the bsck at times, so it does need a fair amount of space.

At a glance
The Philips 5000 Series 9 Litre XXL Dual Basket Steam Airfryer is a versatile family air fryer with two drawers and steam capability for cooking mains and sides together. It suits busy households wanting easier meal timing, crisp results and simpler cleanup. Its main strength is flexible multi-zone cooking, while the trade-off is that its XXL dual-basket design takes up more bench space than compact single-drawer models.

Things to consider
It offers strong flexibility with steam and dual baskets, but it is less bench-space friendly than smaller single-basket air fryers and may be more capacity than smaller households need.
Family size suitability
9/10 - well suited to families thanks to the 9 L total capacity and split 6 L plus 3 L baskets.
Healthy cooking score
9/10 - air frying supports lower-oil cooking, and the steam function helps retain moisture for gentler cooking.
Ease of cleaning
8/10 - dishwasher safe parts and a steam clean function make ongoing maintenance easier.
Counter space friendliness
5/10 - the dual-basket XXL format gives strong capacity but needs more bench space than compact models.
Beginner vs expert fit
Beginner-friendly with enough flexibility for experienced home cooks
Key benefits
- Dual Basket Design: Cook mains and sides separately at the same time for easier full-meal preparation.
- 9 L Total Capacity: Suits larger portions for families, including a whole 1.2 kg chicken in the large basket.
- 6 L Main Drawer: Gives more room for bigger proteins, fries and everyday family favourites.
- 3 L Second Drawer: Lets you prepare sides, snacks or vegetables without mixing flavours.
- Steam Function: Helps keep foods like fish, vegetables and dumplings tender and less dry.
- RapidAir Plus Technology: Circulates hot air around the food for crisp results inside and outside.
- Sync Time Function: Coordinates cooking across both baskets so dishes finish together.
- Steam Clean and Dishwasher Safe Parts: Reduces cleanup effort after everyday cooking.
Q: Does the steam function work in both drawers or one only?
A: The steam function is available in the 6L main drawer. The 3L second drawer is for air frying, so this model can steam and air fry at the same time, but it cannot steam in both drawers together.
Q: Can it cook a main and side to finish together?
A: Yes. The dual-basket design includes a sync time function so food in both drawers can finish together, which is useful when cooking a main in the 6L basket and a side or snack in the 3L basket.
Q: What size meals fit in the two baskets?
A: The combined capacity is 9L, split into a 6L main drawer and a 3L second drawer. The large basket fits a whole 1.2kg chicken, while the two-basket layout suits a main and side rather than one single large tray.
Q: Can the large basket fit a whole chicken?
A: Yes. The large basket is designed to fit a whole 1.2kg chicken, which makes it more practical for family meals than smaller dual-basket models. The second basket remains free for vegetables, chips or other sides.
Q: Is the steam clean function enough on its own?
A: No. Steam clean helps loosen grease buildup from the large basket and around the heating tube, but it does not replace normal washing. Removable parts are dishwasher safe, so cleanup is easier after heavier cooks.
Q: Can I use aluminium foil in this Philips air fryer?
A: Yes, if it is used carefully. Keep foil clear of the heating area and do not block the airflow that gives the air fryer its crisping performance. Loose foil without food on top can move around during cooking.
