  "account": "The Philips 5000 Series Megabasket with Steam Air Fryer is a versatile appliance that surprised the reviewer with consistently great results. This premium-priced air fryer offers more than just air frying, as it also features a sizable 9.5L basket for family-sized portions and a handy divider to cook two different foods simultaneously at different durations and temperatures. The 5000 Series Megabasket also includes a steam functionality, allowing users to perfectly steam vegetables, fish, and dumplings without the need for a separate appliance, saving counter and cupboard space. The Steamfry function combines the best of both worlds, delivering crispy finishes and moisture-locking abilities. The appliance's controls are intuitive, with easily recognizable icons, making it user-friendly. The basket, trays, and divider are dishwasher safe, and the steam function can be used for cleaning. Despite its premium price point of £259.99 (about $350 / AU$490), the Philips 5000 Series Megabasket delivers consistently great results, making it a valuable addition for those looking to prepare a wide variety of dishes.",
