Shoppers race to buy Philips Air Fryer with insane low price at Amazon Australia
The Philips 5000 Series Air Fryer XXL has just dropped to $198 on Amazon Australia — that's a massive $251 off its usual $449 price tag, making this its lowest price in 30 days.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a decent no-name air fryer under $200, let alone a premium brand like Philips.
And we're not the only ones excited; more than 100 people have snapped it up in the last month alone, and it's sitting pretty with a 4.7-star average rating from Aussie reviewers.
Far from your standard 'just chuck some chips in' air fryer, Philips' RapidAir+ Technology, has endless cooking functions, so you can easily bake, roast, fry and reheat some of your favourite dishes.
That patented 'starfish' design swirls hot air evenly around your food, meaning everything from roast veggies to chicken schnitzels comes out crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
But the real magic? It's not just an air fryer.
With 16 different cooking functions, this is the ultimate kitchen multitasker. You can roast, bake, grill, stew, confit and even reheat with a single appliance, ideal for anyone trying to cut down on clutter without sacrificing meal variety.
And with its XXL 7.2-litre capacity, it can cook up to six portions in one go, perfect for families, dinner parties, or just feeding your future self with leftovers.
Ease of use is also a major win here. The QuickClean basket has a non-stick coating, and all the removable parts are dishwasher safe, so cleaning up is as effortless as the cooking itself. Plus, it looks sleek on your bench.
Finally, a countertop appliance that doesn't ruin your kitchen aesthetic.
Another smart feature? You can connect it to the HomeID app on your phone to browse recipes, send cooking programs directly to the air fryer, and monitor your meals remotely. Yes, you can literally cook dinner from the couch.
Energy-wise, it's a surprisingly sustainable pick too, using up to 70 per cent less energy and cooking up to 40 per cent faster compared to your oven. It's good for your electricity bill, and even better for the planet.
And don't just take our word for it. One happy customer raved, 'This air fryer has been absolutely fantastic, I've baked cakes, cupcakes and muffins too. Everything comes out wonderfully.'
Another wrote, 'it's like having a personal chef that always nails it. Cleaning up is a breeze, too.'

Block judge reveals dud move killing Aussie home dream
The Block's unrealistic home renovation strategy is failing a new generation of Aussie homebuyers who are looking for the finished product instead of the DIY dream. Property experts say a combination of cost blowouts, timeline uncertainty, and lifestyle shifts are driving a new wave of buyer behaviour, with more house hunters walking away from renovation projects, and paying a premium to move straight into finished homes. Whitefox director and The Block judge Marty Fox said while the idea of buying a fixer-upper and building equity still appealed emotionally, the reality was far less romantic. 'Traps': Vic homes you shouldn't buy 'Renovating was once the Australian property fairytale, buy the worst house on the best street and manufacture equity,' Mr Fox said. 'But in today's climate, buyers are time-poor, tradies are booked solid, and uncertainty has a price.' 'Emotion sells, convenience converts, it's great design (that) always seals the deal.' Mr Fox said more buyers were bypassing 'project' homes entirely, especially in the prestige market, in favour of move-in-ready properties. 'Renovation fatigue is very real,' he said. 'After three years of watching build costs spiral, convenience has never looked more luxurious. 'They'll pay a premium to skip the delays, decision fatigue, and cost blowouts.' The Block judge said smart renovating — backed by data and design discipline — still had value, but only when approached with a business mindset. 'Gone are the days of overcapitalising and crossing your fingers,' Mr Fox said. 'If you're not adding real value in floorplan, function or finish, you're just spending money. 'The reno dream now comes with a calculator.' Mr Fox said sustainability features such as solar panels, passive design and Tesla walls were becoming more attractive to prestige buyers, but weren't the key selling point. 'They're the cherry on top,' he said. 'What still closes deals is aesthetic, location and execution.' M R Advocacy director Madeleine Roberts said the shift away from renovation projects was even more pronounced among first-home buyers and families already stretched by affordability pressures. 'A few years ago, everyone wanted a 'renovator's dream',' Ms Roberts said. 'Now they're stretched just to enter the market. 'Spending tens or hundreds of thousands more — with no clear end date — just isn't viable anymore.' Ms Roberts said the 'fix-it-up-as-you-go' mentality had dropped off sharply post-Covid, with renovation now mostly pursued by well-funded buyers or investors who could afford the risk. She warned buyers to be cautious when considering off-the-plan purchases, particularly in the current market. 'Due diligence is everything right now,' she said. 'Track record matters, and so does a realistic timeline. 'A new build might look attractive on paper, but it doesn't always make sense as a long-term investment.' The M R Advocacy director said energy-efficient features such as seven-star ratings or rainwater tanks rarely carried weight in buyer decisions. 'It's a nice bonus, but it's not what makes or breaks a deal,' Ms Roberts said. In outer suburbs, Ms Roberts said house-and-land packages often lacked long-term value due to oversupply, poor build quality and limited capital growth. 'I always recommend established homes in established suburbs,' she said. 'Even owner-occupiers still need to think like investors.' Developer and Neometro director Lochlan Sinclair, whose Neometro project at 57 Martin St in Thornbury won the 2024 Houses Award, said demand was rising for design-led homes that were ready to move into, particularly among buyers worn down by the renovation process. 'People are tired of managing builds,' Mr Sinclair said. 'They want homes that are sustainable, well-proportioned and finished, without the stress.' Neometro's latest project in Brunswick features 24 three-bedroom townhouses with internal-access garages, passive design features, solar infrastructure, recycled water systems and landscaped gardens. 'Buyers are becoming more sophisticated,' he said. 'They understand that spending more upfront on better materials pays off in the long run. 'It's a smarter way to build and live.' The Neometro director said the firm had refined its townhouse model over four iterations, striking a balance between quality, sustainability and cost-efficiency. 'Developing anything right now is like conducting a symphony, everything has to work in harmony to extract value,' Mr Sinclair said.

Netflix raises subscription prices across all Australian plans, standard with ads, standard, and premium users
Netflix has announced another round of price hikes for Australian customers, marking its sixth increase since launching locally in 2015. All subscription tiers will see changes, hitting users as soon as September, 2025. For Aussie's already struggling with the cost-of-living crisis, the once ad-free, paid service now has paid ad-supported offerings as well as premium packages to watch shows and movies uninterrupted. Members on Netflix's two standard plans face an extra $2 every month, with 'standard with ads' moving from $7.99 to $9.99, and the ad-free Standard plan now set at $20.99 monthly. Premium subscribers are looking at the steepest jump, with a $3 rise, taking the plan from $25.99 to $28.99. The move comes after Netflix ramped up its crackdown on password sharing. In May 2023, Aussie users sharing accounts outside their household received emails stating: 'Your Netflix account is for you and the people you live with: your household.' Adding an extra member to any plan will also now cost subscribers $1 more. Subscribers have felt the pinch over the past year: before this announcement, the Premium plan cost $22.99 in May 2024. That's a 26 per cent increase for users of this top tier over 15 months. According to tech site Tom's Guide, Netflix's initial prices for Australian users were $8.99 monthly for a basic ad-free plan and $14.99 for premium access, making today's Premium option nearly double the cost. Netflix said the higher prices would allow them 'to bring you even more exciting, new entertainment', promising 'fresh, can't-miss shows and movies every week'. In other developments, Prince Harry and Meghan have extended their partnership with Netflix with a multi-year, first-look deal and more culinary adventures on the cards. Their media company Archewell began collaborating with the streaming giant in 2020 and has produced a handful of documentary content, including the popular Harry & Meghan. The Duchess of Sussex also developed a lifestyle brand, As Ever, in partnership with Netflix. The collaboration has also produced the documentary series' Polo, Heart of Invictus and Live to Lead. 'My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision,' Meghan said in a statement. The couple and Netflix also announced upcoming collaborations, including a second season of With Love, Meghan, a lifestyle and cooking show starring the duchess. The show will also receive a special holiday episode in December. The show is Netflix's most-watched culinary show since its March release, according to the company. It ranked low compared to other releases in the first half of this year, with 5.3 million views, according to Netflix's semiannual report. 'Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within,' a documentary short film that centres on a small orphanage in Uganda's Masaka region, is also set to release this year. Archewell is also in production with Netflix on a feature adaptation of Carley Fortune's novel Meet Me at the Lake. The drama 'follows a decade-spanning love story that begins with a chance encounter and a broken promise,' the statement read. 'Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere. The response to their work speaks for itself,' Bela Bajaria, Netflix's chief content officer, said in a statement. Their extended deal with Netflix is the latest in the couple's years-long effort to develop business ventures in the United States. They had also penned a multi-year deal with Spotify in 2020 and produced a podcast, Archetypes, but cut ties with the company in 2023. The couple have been detangling their lives from the British royal family and is living in California with their two young children.
