Philips AirFryer Vertical Duo Series 4000 dual‑basket model reviewed

Philips' new Vertical Duo Series 4000 air fryer features two independent 5‑litre baskets, allowing simultaneous cooking of different dishes. The appliance delivers 2 750 W of power, a temperature range of 40 °C to 200 °C, and uses Rapid Air technology with a ceramic anti‑adhesive coating. Reviewers note the vertical design saves countertop space compared with separate units, and the digital touch interface offers multiple preset programs.

The unit measures 46 × 23 × 40 cm and weighs about 9 kg, making it relatively bulky for small kitchens. Users reported the screen attracts fingerprints, the short 1 m power cord can be limiting, and earlier Philips models have shown some plastic durability issues. However, the removable grates and dishwasher‑safe baskets were praised for ease of cleaning. Overall, the dual‑basket concept is practical but compromises on discreteness, as one reviewer summed up, “double panier pratique mais peu discret.”
