Philips 2000 Series Airfryer - 4.4 qt (4.2L) Pan, 13 Cooking Functions, RapidAir Technology, Healthy Cooking with 90% Less Fat, Efficient & Fast (NA220/00)

Philips has built a strong reputation as the grandfather of air fryers , being the original inventor and patented user of Airfryer rapid air technology , and that heritage shows in how users talk about the brand. Many describe it as a trusted brand , with several reporting years of reliable use — including users using their Philips air fryer for almost a decade without any issues and another using one for around 5 years .

Day-to-day performance earns consistent praise, with users noting it cooks food perfectly and works like a dream for all daily roasting, cooking, and baking — some even bake cakes in it . Reviewers describe it as easy to cook with, uneventful and solid , and many simply say it works like a charm . In terms of build quality, users call it very well built and heavy duty , adding that features and technology wise you can't beat Philips .

That said, cleaning is a recurring frustration. Several users flag that the heating element is difficult to clean, collects grease and oil over time , made worse by the fact that the unit doesn't have a removable heating element. Coating durability is also a concern, with some reporting that the inner coating started peeling off , while others worry about a non-stick or Teflon coating on interior surfaces. A few users also encountered mechanical issues like the outer basket becoming hard to push in over time.

After-sales support and quality control have drawn mixed reactions. Some believe after-sales service will be good and spare parts will be readily available , but others had the opposite experience, describing numerous problems and abysmal customer service , and one user flagged the brand sending a downgraded replacement without notice. There are also isolated reports of receiving a heavily used or demo unit with deep scratches across the entire body.

Price is a notable sticking point for budget-conscious shoppers, as even the cheapest Philips model costs more than double competing options , and some find repairs impractical since it can be cheaper to buy a whole new air fryer than source parts. Still, many loyal users consider it the best investment they've made, and the consensus among enthusiasts is that Philips makes the best air fryers and you will never go wrong with them — particularly for those who prioritize longevity and cooking performance over upfront cost.
