My single drawer air fryer just isn't cutting it for me anymore

Early Amazon Prime Day deals are floating around ahead of the retail giant's big event which kicks off in less than 24 hours, but sometimes an early Prime Day offer goes a long way — especially with everyone's favorite kitchen gadget, the air fryer.

We've tested some of the best air fryers out there, and mine has been going strong for the past two years, but I'm at the point where I need a little more oomph. Dual basket air fryers are the answer, but they can be quite pricey (I'm looking at you, Ninja) — although right now, you can score the Philips 3000 Series air fryer for less than £100.

This dual basket model is one of the latest stand-outs in Amazon's early Prime Day sale, and you can grab it for 53% less right now — I know, I can barely believe it either. That means that you can get your hands on one for £85.49 down from £179.99.

Though we're yet to give the Philips 3000 Series a proper hands-on review, our editor Max Langridge managed to try it a few months back, and his first impressions were highly positive.

Today's best Philips Series 3000 air fryer deal

As mentioned, we haven't reviewed the Philips 3000 series in its entirety just yet, however our experiences with the Philips 1000 Series and Philips 5000 Series went down swimmingly, so our trust in Philips' performance and delivery is very much there.

I've been using the smaller Instant Vortex Plus air fryer for the past two years, and while it's one of my favorite healthy cooking appliances for speedy and tasty results, I've found myself wanting to cook more for meal prepping. That in mind, cooking in batches just adds extra time on to how long you spend in the kitchen. The Philips 3000 Series takes away that pain point.

Size-wise, the Philips 3000 Series has two separate baskets, one at 3L and the other at 6L, totalling a spacious 9L. Admittedly, it's not one for smaller countertops, but it provides ample cooking space for you to speed through meal prepping, or for feeding multiple mouths at the table if you have a larger family. Additionally, you can cook separate dishes to finish at the same time, taking the guess work out of cooking.

With my Instant Vortex Plus, it has four solid cooking presets — six with its larger sibling — and though this may suffice for some users, it's always helpful to have more options in case you decide to experiment with new recipes, for instance.

With its generous eight presets on its touchscreen, the Philips 3000 Series sets the times and temperature for you based on whatever storm you fancy whipping up. You can also make the most of the HomeID app — which features more than 500 recipes — instead of scrolling through TikTok endlessly to find your next dinner party centrepiece (which I'm guilty of doing all the time).
