• Philips has launched a new air fryer with a removable divider in the basket
• It's available now from Currys for an introductory price of £79.99
• That's less than half the price of similar fryers from rival brands like Ninja

Philips has just launched a new air fryer with a customizable basket that lets you cook different portion sizes, and it's available now for an early bird price of under £100. The Philips 1000 Series Dual Basket Airfryer with FlexiDrawer is on sale now at Currys for £79.99 – a saving of £80 off the official RRP.

The FlexiDrawer gives you more cooking options than a typical air fryer thanks to its removable divider, which allows you to split the 7.1-liter cooking capacity in half when you want to prepare two smaller dishes, or use the whole space with a large baking tray for bigger items.

It's not the only air fryer designed this way (the Ninja Foodi FlexBasket Dual Air Fryer and Cosori Dual Blaze Twinfry 10L Air Fryer both have removable dividers too), but the new Philips model is by far the most affordable. It's more compact than its rivals too, measuring 11.6 x 11.8 x 17.2 inches / 29.5 x 30.1 x 43.8cm – a good size for small kitchens where space is at a premium.
