Philips Airfryer 2000 Series NA229/00: what works, what doesn't?
What works well
- RapidAir with StarPlate: the StarPlate on the basket floor directs the airflow evenly, crisp outside and tender inside with little oil
- 13 cooking options, 9 presets: air frying, baking, grilling, roasting plus presets for chips, chicken, fish, vegetables, cake and more, the broadest repertoire in the round-up
- Documented capacity: Philips gives concrete figures of 500 g of chips, 6 drumsticks or 500 g of vegetables, clear guidance rather than a litre figure alone
- 1,500 W for quick cooking: the highest documented output in the comparison field means fast heat-up
- Established brand support: Philips offers more dependable spare-part and service supply than the no-name competition
Points of criticism
- Highest price in the round-up: at around €70, the Philips costs a good double what the cheap no-name air fryers do
- 4.2 L is mid-range: the basket is enough for large family trays; XXL portions or whole chickens are too much for it

Build quality & everyday use
What carries the Philips Airfryer 2000 Series NA229/00 in everyday use: RapidAir with StarPlate (the StarPlate on the basket floor directs the airflow evenly, crisp outside and tender inside with little oil) and 13 cooking options, 9 presets (air frying, baking, grilling, roasting plus presets for chips, chicken, fish, vegetables, cake and more, the broadest repertoire in the round-up). We have to be honest about the weaknesses: highest price in the round-up, since at around €70 the Philips costs a good double what the cheap no-name air fryers do.
If you set the device up to save space, make sure it stands on a stable, level surface with some air around it. This protects the mechanics and electronics in continuous use.
