Air fry + steam + discount = deliciously healthy food
There aren’t too many air fryers that allow you to cook with steam, but this Philips 5000 Series model does. It’s a rare breed, but having steam means you can not only steam vegies and dumplings in an air fryer (steam in an air fryer sounds like an oxymoron!), but you can combine steaming and air frying too.
You read that right, there’s a dedicated air fry+steam mode on this dual-basket appliance, which makes it great to keep the moisture within tender meat, and yet get crispy skin on chicken and pork belly. The steam option is only for the bigger basket though.
This premium model also has a steam-clean function, but there are caveats that you can find out more about in my in-depth Philips 5000 Series Dual Basket XXL Air Fryer Steam review.
Yup, I tested this myself and I’ve found it very useful to have in the kitchen, despite not having steam in both baskets. Everything it cooks turns out really well – no complaints from me! Although I still haven’t tried baking anything in it… Anyway, if you have the space to store a dual-basket air fryer, this generous 44% discount is well worth considering (and it’s only AU$9 more than its July Prime Day price).

What’s in my cart?
That image gives it away, doesn’t it? Yes, there’s an electric toothbrush in my cart.
Allow me to provide a little context here. I’ve been using the Oral-B Genius 9000 brush since 2017, then I was offered a smart sonic brush late last year to test and you can read all about it in my Oclean X Ultra S review. As much as I enjoy getting scolded by this talking toothbrush, I find that I much prefer oscillating brushes as the sonic vibrations just don’t give me that ‘clean’ feeling.
Sadly, my old Genius 9000 isn’t charging anymore, so it’s time to get me a new Oral-B. I was eyeing the Oral-B iO6, which is the middle child of the entire iO series and gives you all the brushing smarts from the more expensive models but misses out on some features, like the interactive display and the magnetic charging stand.
Turns out the iO 7, which has the display and the aforementioned stand, is now discounted to the same price as the iO 6 on Amazon – well, the black variant is anyway – so why not just go with the one that has more features? So there you have it: I’m buying me the Oral-B iO 7 in black.
