Which is better for a family of four?

The Philips, if you often cook two different foods at once. Its 9.5 qt across two drawers beats the Beautiful's single 6 qt basket. For one-dish meals, the Beautiful is enough and far cheaper.

Is the Philips worth ten times the price?

Only if you will use the dual baskets and steam regularly. At $279.99 versus $27.99, the Philips has to replace other appliances to justify the gap.

Which one is easier to clean?

The Philips lists dishwasher-safe parts and a nonstick coating. The Beautiful has a removable nonstick basket but no dishwasher claim. Both need hand care to keep the coating intact.

The Philips has more power at 2750 W and two baskets running at once, so a full meal finishes sooner. The Beautiful tops out at 400°F, slightly hotter than the Philips' 392°F, which helps browning.

Does either one steam food?

Only the Philips. Its Air Steam technology steams vegetables and other foods. The Beautiful has no steam mode; it air fries, roasts, reheats and dehydrates.

The Philips has the sturdier build and a higher price to match. The Beautiful is a budget appliance, so expect a shorter life, though at $27.99 replacing it is cheap.
