This rare discount has got savvy shoppers buzzing, with dozens of glowing five-star reviews pouring in.

Many say they’ve barely touched their oven since making the switch, and considering how much energy and time this clever machine saves, it’s easy to see why.

What makes the Philips Essential Air Fryer so popular?

Let’s start with its RapidAir+ technology, designed with a patented ‘starfish’ shape that circulates hot air evenly to give your food that crispy-on-the-outside, juicy-on-the-inside finish, every single time.

Whether you’re crisping up sweet potato fries, roasting a chicken, or baking a cake, the results are consistently impressive.

But this isn’t just your average air fryer.

With 14-in-1 functions, it’s like having a full kitchen in one sleek, countertop-friendly unit.

You can roast, bake, grill, toast, stew, reheat and more, making weeknight dinners, lazy weekend brunches, or next-day leftovers an absolute breeze.

The XL capacity makes it ideal for families or meal prepping, holding enough food for five or more portions in one go.

And with a touchscreen interface and seven easy presets, cooking favourites like frozen snacks, grilled veggies, or chicken wings are as simple as pressing a button.

Fast, energy-efficient, and easy to clean

Aside from its cooking capabilities, the Philips Essential Air Fryer is also energy-smart, using up to 70 per cent less energy than a conventional oven and cooking up to 40 per cent faster.

This means you’re saving money on your power bill and getting dinner on the table quicker.

When it comes to clean-up, it’s a dream. The QuickClean basket is non-stick and dishwasher safe, so there’s no need to wrestle with burnt-on crumbs or oil splatters.

To keep you inspired, Philips also offers access to hundreds of tried-and-tested recipes via the HomeID app.

Each one has been specifically designed to work with the air fryer, so there’s no guesswork, just delicious results.

“I purchased this air fryer on sale, and it has been used almost every other day,” said another. “I haven’t used the oven at all since she arrived, and our gas bill has plummeted.”

“It’s up there with the best purchases ever,” raved a third.

With savings this big and reviews that strong, it’s no surprise this deal is flying out the door.

Whether you’re a kitchen newbie or a home cook who wants to level up dinner time, this Philips air fryer might just become your new favourite appliance.

But don’t wait, with stock moving fast and the sale only on for a limited time, now’s the time to add to your cart.
