Not many people realise that Philips actually designed the world’s first air fryer back in 2010 (file that away for your next pub quiz), so I always get a little excited when the brand launches something new. The Philips 5000 Series was my favourite air fryer release of 2025 and quickly shot to the top of our best air fryer guide, so I had pretty high expectations for the new Philips 4000 Series.
This time around, Philips has gone for a stacked design with equal-sized baskets, which immediately sets it apart from its predecessors. It also looks a bit different to what we’re used to, but now brings some useful new features that I couldn’t wait to try out.
