I was able to extensively test the Philips Airfryer 5000 Series NA555/00. I miss a printed manual and a pair of tongs to remove items, because you should not hold the baskets upside down. The preparation times on the packaging of products are also not correct. Fortunately, the digital manual does provide clear preparation times. Often longer, but with excellent results.
The Airfryer is large enough for our family of 3. Due to the 2 baskets, the Airfryer clearly weighs more than a single Airfryer.
Prepared various products. Panga fillet, salmon and chicken remained tender, although the time for the chicken fillet was reduced, it was cooked faster and became dry on the thinner side (I cut the thick piece of fillet to check whether it was cooked). Snacks were also tasty from the airfryer.
I was able to successfully prepare all kinds of things. Sandwiches from the freezer were ready super fast and crispy. And even eggs went easily and exactly right with the indicated time in the digital manual. The potatoes were delicious and the fries were nicely coloured and crispy.
The steam function is unfortunately only possible in the larger container. The prepared vegetables were very tasty, I steamed the broccoli and carrots a bit longer than indicated, I thought it was just a bit too hard.
With our family of 3, everything fits well in both containers. Think with visitors or a large family, it is still a bit cramped.
Cleaning is very easy, the baskets can be put in the dishwasher, but they also clean well with soapy water. Better than expected. Steam cleaning is unfortunately only possible in the large container, but works fine.
Advantageous for us:
Less fat than frying in a pan.
Handy shake timer (beep a bit on the soft side).
Can prepare multiple things at the same time.
Tasty baking result.
Square glass oven dish fits in... did not come out easily so the whole basket just on the table.
Easy to clean.
Easy to operate.
