Review
What this product is
Written after the analysis, from the same sources the score is built on: the manufacturer's documentation, available studies and verified owner feedback.
The NA221/00 is the entry ticket to a branded air fryer. Philips publishes 4.2 litres, 1,500 W, up to 200 °C, nine presets including keep-warm, 27.3 × 36.8 × 29.3 cm, 3.51 kg, a 0.8 m cord and a two-year guarantee. The basket is non-stick coated and dishwasher-safe.
OCU measured it at 1,000 g of frozen fries. That is enough for two portions, and the ratio of about 238 g per litre is in line with the much larger Ninja Double Stack, which suggests Philips' litre figure is not inflated. At 1,500 W it has the lowest rated power in the ranking.
Philips' marketing claims are typical of the category — up to 90% less fat than deep frying and 'up to 70% energy savings' compared with an oven — but no test protocol is published for either, so we treat them as unverified. There was no owner rating on the product page.
At €79.99 on Philips' shop (against a €129.99 recommended price) it is good value for a single person or a couple; larger households will outgrow it quickly.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is 4.2 litres enough for two?
OCU measured 1,000 g of frozen fries, which covers two generous portions in one batch.
Does it really save 70% energy?
Philips claims up to 70% compared with a conventional oven but publishes no test protocol, so the figure cannot be checked.
