If there’s one kitchen gadget Aussies swear by these days, it’s the trusty air fryer, and Philips has just dropped one of its best-sellers to an all-time low price.

The Philips Dual Basket Air Fryer, which usually retails for $399, is now available on Amazon Australia for just $198, a massive 50 per cent off.

This isn’t just any air fryer. It’s sleek, modern and seriously clever. Designed with RapidAir Plus technology, it delivers crispy results with up to 90 per cent less fat, so you can enjoy your favourite fried food without the guilt.

Think hot chips, golden chicken nuggets, crispy fish, fluffy roasted veg or even cakes, all done with virtually no oil.

What really sets it apart, though, is the two-drawer design. Each drawer operates independently with its own temperature and timing, but they can also sync up to ensure your whole meal finishes cooking at exactly the same time.

So, no more soggy sides waiting around while your chicken catches up.

One drawer is slightly smaller than the other, which means you can use less power for those quick weekday meals or heat-ups.

But when it’s time to feed the whole family, the full 9-litre capacity comes in handy. And thanks to the Sync and Copy functions, cooking a full dinner is as simple as tapping a button.

The intuitive touchscreen makes it easy to select from eight preset cooking modes, including fresh and frozen fries, chicken, fish, meat, cake and vegetables.

No guessing, no fiddling with temps, just touch and go. Plus, the beeping reminder tells you when it’s time to toss your food for perfect results every time.

Cleanup is easy too; the PTFE non-stick coated baskets slide out and go straight into the dishwasher. No soaking, scrubbing or swearing needed.

And if you’re stuck for dinner ideas, the Philips HomeID app has step-by-step recipes that are tailored specifically for the dual-basket model, so you can get the most out of your new kitchen toy.

One shopper shared their experience, and it might just convince you:

“If you’ve owned a single drawer air fryer before, you’ll know it can be frustrating trying to cook two different types of food that need different settings. This air fryer sorts that out. Put chips in one drawer, chicken nuggets in the other, hit the magic button, they finish at the same time, no checking needed.”

Crispy chips, juicy chicken and no guesswork, the Philips dual air fryer nails it every time.

“It looks great on the bench top, too. The smaller drawer is perfect for small meals, and it uses less power. It’s the perfect air fryer.”

Considering the huge discount, sleek design and unbeatable functionality, this is a deal that won’t last long.

Whether you’re replacing an old unit or upgrading to something bigger and better, the Philips Dual Basket Air Fryer is a seriously smart investment in the kitchen and at under $200, it’s hard to resist.
