Litres on the box, litres in the basket · review
The Airfryer 2000 Series, and the model Philips publishes a usable-load figure for rather than only a litre count: 500 g of chips, six drumsticks or 500 g of vegetables in a 4.2-litre basket. Touchscreen with nine presets, RapidAir with the StarPlate, non-stick surfaces declared dishwasher-safe.
The bottom line The one that answers the question the others dodge. Every air fryer states its litres; Philips states what goes in — 500 g of chips, six drumsticks — and that is the figure a buyer can act on. The trade is that Philips publishes no wattage and no temperature range for the 2000 Series, so two of the three numbers the Midea gives you are simply absent here. Which of those omissions matters more depends on whether you cook by setting or by result.
Almost every air fryer is sold on litres. Philips publishes what the 4.2-litre basket actually holds: 500 g of chips, six drumsticks, or 500 g of vegetables. That is a different kind of claim, and it is the one that settles whether a machine suits a household of two or of four.
A touchscreen with nine presets — frozen chips, fresh chips, chicken, meat, fish, breakfast, vegetables, cake, keep warm — and manual time and temperature underneath them. The presets are the reason a screen beats dials here: a setting that worked can be chosen again identically rather than found again by eye.
Philips describes the cooking as 13-in-1: frying, baking, grilling, roasting and more, with presets for reheating, defrosting and keeping warm.
Philips names its airflow system RapidAir and states that a StarPlate in the base shapes it. What the plate changes in practice is not published as a measurement, and we report the claim rather than the effect.
The wattage and the temperature range. Both are published by Russell Hobbs (1 800 W, 40–200 °C) and by Midea (1 150 W, 80–200 °C) on this site, and their absence here is worth knowing before comparing on paper. The external dimensions are not published either.
Philips declares the non-stick surfaces dishwasher-safe, and describes them as needing no scrubbing or soaking. As always, the manual shipped with your unit is the authority for your model.

Philips lists them: frozen chips, fresh chips, chicken, meat, fish, breakfast, vegetables, cake and keep warm. Time and temperature can also be set manually, which is what makes a result repeatable.
Philips does not publish a wattage for this model, and we do not estimate one. Where an energy figure matters to you, the Russell Hobbs Satisfry on this site publishes 1 800 W and the Midea 1 150 W.
2 × 5,2 L · MegaZone 10,4 L · 7 functions
The FlexDrawer, and the only air fryer here that can cook two things two ways at once. Ninja publishes two independent 5.2-litre zones that join into a single 10.4-litre MegaZone, a stated load of 2 kg of chicken or 1.5 kg of chips per zone, seven functions, and — unusually for this family — the external dimensions.
Best for: A household cooking a main and a side at the same time, on a worktop with 50 cm of depth.

2 L · 1 150 W · 80–200 °C
The smallest air fryer on this site, and the one whose controls are two dials rather than a screen. Midea publishes 2 litres, 1 150 W and a range of 80 to 200 °C with a timer to 60 minutes; the basket and the removable crisper plate are non-stick and declared dishwasher-safe.
Best for: One person, a small worktop, and a cook who would rather turn a dial than read a screen.
≈ 33 €
8,3 L · 1 800 W · 40–200 °C
The Satisfry XXL, and the most completely specified air fryer of the four: 8.3 litres, 1 800 W, a published range of 40 to 200 °C, nine presets on a digital touchscreen, a halfway turn reminder and automatic shut-off. Ceramic-coated grill plate and basket both declared dishwasher-safe, all food-contact parts BPA-free.
Best for: A family that cooks one thing at a time and wants every figure published before buying.
