From baking banana bread to whipping up frothy coffee foam, many of us have kindled a newfound love affair with our kitchens since the start of the pandemic. The massive interest in air frying among Filipinos partly due to this.

Convenient and innovative, air frying has changed the way many Filipinos prepare their home-cooked dishes. However, not all appliances are made equal, so we’re chiming in to round up the best air fryers in the Philippines today.

The Best Air Fryers in the Philippines

Now you know how much each model in our selection costs, it’s time you found out why we included them in our list of the best air fryers in the Philippines.

1.   Xiaomi Youban Smart Air Fryer

With a wide range of affordable appliances that get the job done, it’s no wonder Xiaomi is on tech enthusiasts’ radars. A perfect match for the rookie chief, Xiaomi’s Youban Smart Air Fryer is not only conservatively priced—it’s easy to get the hang of, too.

First, there’s the user-friendly control panel. There are six built-in cooking modes that can help first-timers grasp the recommended temperature and duration for french fries, fried chicken, seafood and more.

For those who prefer tinkering with settings, the Youban Smart Air Fryer’s temperature can be adjusted anywhere from 80 to 200°C.

Meanwhile, the timer can be set to 30 minutes. This duration is relatively short compared to what the timers of more expensive air fryers can accommodate, but this covers the standard cooking time for most dishes.

Also, you can forget about stopping the timer to shift your ingredients around. Hot air circulates within the entire unit at high speed to ensure an evenly-cooked result.

With a 2.6 liter capacity and a relatively compact size, the device can be conveniently stored on a countertop or in a cupboard.

However, if you’re particular about sound, the Xiaomi Youban Smart Air Fryer makes quite a lot of noise throughout the cooking process, so take note of that.

Customer Reviews

Check out these reviews of the Xiaomi Youban Smart Air Fryer.

“For air fryer newbies, amateur cooks, and homeowners on a budget, I believe the Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer is a great choice thanks to its wallet-friendly price, user-friendly controls, and quality performance. For P2,795, you get everything you pay for and more.” —Ashley Martelino

“This is by far one the best and easiest air fryers me and my fiancé have ever used. I highly recommend this unit to everybody. It has presets for things like french fries, chicken, etc., and if you use them, it will always come out perfect!” —ATV Ceo

2.   Kaisa Villa USA Heavy Duty Air Fryer

If you’re looking to cook up heftier servings, consider the Kaisa Villa USA Heavy Duty Air Fryer.

With a 5.5 liter capacity, the Kaisa Villa air fryer is ideal for a family of seven or eight. If you like pitching in during family gatherings or pot-luck parties, this is an investment that’ll come in handy when we’re allowed to gather in large groups again.

Similar to the Xiaomi air fryer, Kaisa Villa’s model has temperature controls spanning 80 to 200°C. Instead of touch-screen buttons, the temperature is adjusted via a dial on the front panel of the machine.

Providing an extra layer of safety, the unit comes with a cold-touch housing that prevents overheating. It also comes with a convenient handle for easy portability, although it does come in on the heavier side at 3.6 kilograms.

The timer settings also resemble the Xiaomi’s, with the setting limited to a maximum of 30 minutes at a time. However, it requires half an hour of preheating before the actual cooking can begin, which can be a pain.

Customer Reviews

Check out these reviews from customers who have taken their Kaisa Villa USA Heavy Duty Air Fryers for a spin!

“Amazing Christmas gift for myself. Arrived just in time… Delivered 22nd of December, [then] I unboxed on the 23rd & used it on the 24th of December. […] It’s so convenient and easy to use. In less than an hour, roasted chicken is cooked. Tuna jaw is cooked in less than 30 minutes.” —Mel R.

“I’ve been surfing online [for] a long while for an affordable yet large capacity air fryer and this one fits to a tee what I’ve been looking for. […] The monitoring lights turn red when cooking and green when it turns off to maintain the temperature. The illustrations on top of its case guide you on the temperature and duration needed for different types of food. The materials used in its body are sturdy [so] that it won’t crack and can withstand daily usage in the kitchen.” —Earl B.

3.   Kyowa Digital Air Fryer

If the Kaisa Villa air fryer is for big servings, this is for supersized ones. The Kyowa Digital Air Fryer is the biggest model on this list in terms of size and capacity.

A digital version of the well-loved Kyowa air fryer, this unit comes with a simple LED display. Through the control panel, users can adjust the cooking temperature until 200°C and set a timer to a maximum of 30 minutes.

Apart from its non-stick basket, many home chefs prefer the Kyowa over other air fryers due to its versatility. It doesn’t only fry with 360° air circulation—it can bake and roast too, and it comes with seven automatic cooking presets.

As far as safety goes, this model has its bases covered. Besides its automatic shut-off feature, the entire unit is coated in a heat-resistant plastic material to prevent accidents.

For all its positives, the biggest concern when it comes to the Kyowa Digital Air Fryer is how much space it takes up. With a height and width of almost 15 inches and a total weight of 5.29 kilograms, it can be quite difficult to carry around and store.

Customer Reviews

Let these customer reviews tell you more about why the Kyowa Digital Air Fryer made it to our list of the best air fryers in the Philippines.

“Indeed a good buy! We used it immediately to cook dinner. Very easy to use.” —Diana J.

“I waited for a week to test the product before giving my review, and [this is] probably one of my best purchases ever! My mom was really happy! We used it and it worked flawlessly. We drained a lot of oil from the porkchop we cooked when we used it. Perfect for things I’ve always wanted to deep fry but consumed a lot of oil, like fries, chicken and crispy pata.” —Jace L.

4.   Deerma Nathome Air Fryer

The Deerma Nathome Air Fryer makes it to our list of the best air fryers in the Philippines because of its impressive capacity and compact size. Measuring just a little over 10 inches in length and width, it can accommodate 4 liters at a time in its non-stick basket.

Like most standard air fryers, the Deerma Nathome’s temperature can be adjusted until 200°C. However, instead of an LED touch screen, this model makes use of knobs to set temperature and time.

The Deerma’s timer can be set to 60 minutes, which is impressive for an air fryer of this price range. Additionally, it only needs 3 minutes of preheating time before getting to work.

In terms of safety features, this air fryer comes with an automatic shut-off, as well as a signal bell to alert the user when cooking has been completed.

As good as the Deerma Nathome Air Fryer may sound on paper, it does have one downside. It doesn’t come with automatic cooking presets, which might make this a better choice for more experienced home chefs.

Customer Reviews

Here’s what customers have to say about the Deerma Nathome Air Fryer:

“I find it lighter and quieter than the other brand that I got before which has almost [the] same price. Looks premium” —Joseph T.

“”Loving my new air fryer because it’s super easy to use. I’ve tried to make air fried liempo and chicharong bulaklak—no more oil splatters. And less oil in my food!” —Chelo

5.   Philips Essential Air Fryer XL

If you’re the kind of buyer who prefers going for tried and tested brands, you’ll be pleased to know that Philips has been in the air fryer business for over a decade.

Their Essential Air Fryer XL is a simple, minimalistic air fryer that is perfect for both beginners and experts alike. The touch screen panel comes with seven built-in presets that allow the user to fry, roast, grill and even bake with a single device.

Like most Philips air fryers, this model makes use of rapid air technology. Hot air circulates within the cooking basket—which can accommodate up to 6.2 liters’ worth of food at a time!—to ensure an evenly cooked result every time.

Every purchase of this device from official Philips retailers grants users access to the NutriU app, a rich online library of air fryer recipes. The machine also comes with a two-year warranty.

However, there are a couple of deal breakers for some people. Besides the price tag, it’s also important to note the Philips Essential Air Fryer XL’s 2000W wattage—that’s double the power consumption of some models on this list.
