Is $99.99 a good price for the Philips Essential Air Fryer?

It is the only new price listed, $99.99 at Amazon as of November 6, 2026. That is low for a 1.2 kg Philips air fryer, so it is a fair buy at this price.

How much food fits in the 1.2 kg basket?

About 1.2 kg, roughly a whole small chicken or fries for three to four people. It is a mid-size basket, not a family-size dual-basket model.

Can I wash the basket in the dishwasher?

Yes. The QuickClean non-stick basket and its parts are dishwasher safe, though hand washing keeps the coating in better shape longer.

What temperature range does it cook at?

80°C to 200°C, set on the touch screen with a timer. The low end suits dehydrating and reheating; 200°C is for crisping.

Does it come with presets?

Yes, it has programmable controls with presets shown on the LED display, plus manual time and temperature setting.

How big is it on the counter?

403 mm deep, 315 mm wide and 307 mm tall, weighing 5.55 kg. It needs clearance at the back for the air vent.

Our take on the Philips Essential Air Fryer

The Philips Essential is a 1.2 kg basket air fryer that uses Rapid Air Technology and a touch screen with LED display to cook between 80°C and 200°C. The QuickClean non-stick basket is dishwasher safe, and the plastic housing keeps the unit at 5.55 kg. At $99.99 at Amazon as of November 6, 2026, it sits at the low end of what this size class of Philips air fryer usually sells for.
