The Philips 5000 Series NA555/00 is a 9.6-quart dual basket air fryer that also steams: a 6.3-quart large drawer that can air-fry, steam or combine the two, a 3.2-quart small drawer for sides, RapidAir Plus airflow, 19 cooking functions, 12 ingredient presets, a Steam-Clean cycle and synced finish times. On Amazon (ASIN B0FWD6FP8V) it was $279.99 when we checked on Nov 10, 2026, 20 percent off the $349.00 list price, in stock with five left and free delivery listed for Nov 18, and it carried a 4.7-star rating from 50 customer reviews. The trade-offs are the unequal baskets, steam limited to the large drawer, a 400°F cap and no viewing windows. It is a strong pick if you want steam and two drawers in one Philips machine; it is a lot to spend if you only need a standard dual-basket fryer. We rate it 4.3 out of 5.
Best for: Cooks who want one countertop machine that can steam vegetables or fish, air-fry a main and a side at the same time, and handle the extra Steam-Clean and preset options, and who are willing to pay name-brand money for the NA555/00.
Skip it if: You want two equal baskets, a viewing window, a 450°F top temperature or a lower price. The Philips 3000 Series 9.5-Qt uses a similar asymmetric two-drawer layout without steam, and the Ninja Foodi DZ201 gives two even 4-quart baskets, Smart Finish and Match Cook for less.

This is not two equal drawers. The 6.3-quart basket does the heavy lifting, including every steam mode, while the 3.2-quart basket is a side-dish drawer. If you routinely cook two same-size proteins at once, a Ninja DualZone with matching 4- or 5-quart baskets is the more even layout. Steam also means a water tank to fill, empty and descale, and it adds a cleaning routine the 3000 Series does not have. Official photos show no viewing windows, so you still pull a drawer to check browning. The listed 400°F ceiling is typical for Philips basket fryers and fine for fries, wings and roasted vegetables, but it will not match 450°F models. When we checked the Amazon listing on Nov 10, 2026, the NA555/00 was in stock at $279.99 (list $349.00), Amazon showed only five left, and free delivery was listed for Wednesday, Nov 18, 2026. Confirm stock, seller and the delivered total at checkout, and look at the voltage and wattage printed on the unit: the US/Canada service rating is 120V and 1800W, even though a few marketing pages still show the European 2750W figure.
Lemon-garlic salmon air fried at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes, with no flipping. Two 6-oz fillets fit the 6.3-quart Philips basket, so a vegetable side can cook in the 3.2-quart drawer and finish at the same time. About 350 calories and 35 g protein per serving.
Get the recipe →It is the Philips NA555/00, a 9.6-quart dual basket air fryer and steam cooker with a 6.3-quart large drawer, a 3.2-quart small drawer, RapidAir Plus airflow, 19 cooking functions, a Steam-Clean cycle and synced finish times. It sold for $279.99 on Amazon when we checked on Nov 10, 2026, marked down from a $349.00 list price, with five units left and free delivery listed for Nov 18, 2026.
Yes. The two drawers are independent, so you can cook a main in the 6.3-quart basket and a side in the 3.2-quart basket at different times and temperatures. Philips says the machine can sync the two timers so both baskets finish together. Steam and steam-plus-air-fry are limited to the large drawer; the small drawer is air-fry only.
No. Steam, steam grill, steam roast and steam bake are available in the large 6.3-quart basket, which is fed by the refillable water tank on top of the unit. The 3.2-quart basket air-fries only.
When we checked the Amazon listing (ASIN B0FWD6FP8V) on Nov 10, 2026, the price was $279.99, 20 percent off the $349.00 list price, and Amazon showed only five left in stock with free delivery listed for Wednesday, Nov 18, 2026. Prices and stock change, so confirm the total at checkout.
Philips service documentation for the NA555/00 lists the USA and Canada version at 120 volts and 1800 watts. Some retail product pages also print a 2750-watt figure that matches the European model. Check the nameplate on the unit you receive; a standard 15-amp US kitchen outlet is intended for about 1800 watts, not 2750 watts.
It is worth it if you specifically want steam and air-fry in one two-drawer machine and will pay about $280 for the Philips NA555/00. If you only need two baskets and a synced finish, the Philips 3000 Series or a Ninja DualZone such as the DZ201 costs less and uses two more even, or more widely reviewed, baskets. We rate it 4.3 out of 5 based on the listed specs, current Amazon price and owner ratings, not a hands-on lab test.
