It has two baskets and great reviews: The Philips 3000 series airfryer is heavily discounted, find recipes for it in the mobile app

Airfryers with two baskets are among the most practical kitchen appliances — they allow you to prepare a main dish and a side dish simultaneously. You can now buy the Philips 3000 Series Airfryer Dual Basket with code ALZADNY20 for 3,399 CZK instead of the original 4,999 CZK. This is a white variant with a 9-liter capacity, capable of feeding a family of four. Additionally, you’ll find recipes in the mobile app.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you cook for a family and want to prepare a main dish and a side dish at once — you’ll save time and energy.
⚠️ Consider if you have a small kitchen counter — dimensions of 31 × 38 × 44 cm require space.
💡 For 3,399 CZK you get a dual-basket airfryer from a premium brand with an app full of recipes — similar competitor models cost significantly more.

Why this airfryer is interesting

The main advantage of this model is its two separate baskets of different sizes. The larger one is for main dishes — chicken, steaks, fries — while the smaller one is ideal for side dishes, vegetables, or a single serving. A key feature is the automatic finish time synchronization: even if you set different times and temperatures in each basket, the airfryer ensures both dishes are ready simultaneously.

A total volume of 9 liters means you can prepare food for four people at once. The manufacturer states that the larger basket can hold up to 1.5 kg of chicken or Brussels sprouts. For smaller households, this is more than enough; for larger families, it means fewer batches and faster preparation.

HomeID App: Recipes directly for your Airfryer

This is a feature that distinguishes Philips from cheaper competitors. The free HomeID app contains hundreds of recipes designed specifically for airfryers — including specific temperature and time settings directly for the dual-basket model. So you don’t have to experiment; just select a recipe, and the app will tell you exactly what to set.

Recipes are divided by categories: breakfast, main dishes, side dishes, desserts. You’ll find everything from crispy fries to chicken thighs to apple pie. The app is in Czech and works on both iOS and Android. For those just starting with an airfryer, it’s a significant help — eliminating the typical “at what temperature and for how long” guesswork.

Key parameters in practice

The airfryer uses Rapid Air technology, which ensures fast circulation of hot air around and through the food. The result is a crispy surface without the need for oil frying — the manufacturer states up to 90% less fat compared to a classic deep fryer. The temperature range of 40–200 °C allows not only frying but also slow baking, reheating, or preparing desserts.

On the touch display, you’ll find 8 presets: fresh fries, frozen fries, chicken, meat, vegetables, fish, cakes, and reheating. The power consumption of 2,750 W ensures a quick warm-up to operating temperature — according to the manufacturer, you save up to 70% energy compared to a conventional oven.

Practical aspects: maintenance and dimensions

Both baskets have a non-stick coating and are dishwasher-safe — which you’ll appreciate, as manual cleaning of airfryers can be annoying. The weight of 7.85 kg is not negligible, but the airfryer typically stays in one place anyway. The cable length of 0.8 m is shorter, so plan for placement near an outlet.

As for dimensions — 31 × 38 × 44 cm — it’s a larger appliance. Users in reviews repeatedly mention that enough counter space needs to be allocated for the airfryer. On the other hand, given that it has two baskets and a volume of 9 liters, the dimensions are appropriate.

What users say

On Alza, the Philips 3000 Series Dual Basket has a rating of 4.9 out of 5 (63 ratings) and 98% of customers recommend the product. Over 200 units have been sold. Users most often praise the speed of preparation, intuitive controls, and specifically the ability to cook two dishes simultaneously with completion at the same time.

From specific reviews: “It surprised me with its performance and speed. Fries are beautifully crispy in 30 minutes.” Another user appreciates: “Two separate drawers, can even bake a cake or pizza, timing so both drawers are ready at the same time.” Several reviews mention quality materials and quiet operation.

Critical voices mainly concern the dimensions — the airfryer takes up a lot of space. Some users also mention that with larger quantities of food, it’s necessary to turn the food during preparation to ensure even cooking. However, this is generally common with airfryers.

When it doesn’t make sense

If you cook only for yourself or at most for two, the 9-liter capacity might be unnecessarily large. In such a case, smaller models of the Philips 3000 Series are worth considering — for example, the 6.2L version costs 3,999 CZK on Alza and takes up less space.

Also, if you have a really small kitchen and every centimeter of counter space counts, the dimensions of this model might be an issue. And if you’re looking for an airfryer with a grill function (for steaks with grill marks), this isn’t the model — Philips offers grill versions in the 7000 Series, but at a significantly higher price.

Verdict: who it’s worth it for

For 3,399 CZK, you get a dual-basket airfryer from a premium brand with an app full of recipes and finish time synchronization. For families who want healthier and faster meal preparation, this is a very interesting choice. The HomeID app also significantly lowers the entry barrier for those just starting with an airfryer.
