Philips NA230 air fryer: my first sweet potatoes needed more time and a turn

My first sweet potatoes in the Philips NA230 were still hard underneath after 30 minutes. Turning them and giving them 20 more minutes made the difference.

Why I chose the NA230

My starting requirements were a budget of around CNY 300–500 and a capacity of roughly 6 litres. I wanted heating from both above and below, an all-metal interior, and materials I considered safe.

I looked at the Westinghouse H10 and H50, as well as the Joyoung V589. At first I was leaning towards the H10, but after seeing so many promotional posts online, something felt off. I switched my attention to the Philips 332, but I didn’t like its shape—I prefer a rounded, conventional design.

Then I came across the NA230. In the end, it came down to the H10 or the 230. After going back and forth, I chose the 230. I decided its starfish-shaped base would satisfy what I had wanted from dual heating: it was supposed to improve hot-air circulation and make heating more even.

The first sweet potatoes needed more time

In actual use, I roasted sweet potatoes at 180°C (356°F) for 30 minutes the first time. When I turned them over, the undersides were noticeably harder. I gave them another 20 minutes, and the final result was really good. They tasted great, and the flesh had pulled away from the skin.

What I paid

I paid CNY 356 in the end. Overall, I’m pretty happy with it, but I’ve seen so many people buy it for under CNY 300. Why do I never manage to get those bargains? At least I ordered in the morning and it arrived that afternoon!

The NA230 is listed as NA230/00 in the US and Germany and NA230/09 in the UK. The owner gives the name NA230 without a regional suffix; the China listing below is a separate official reference for NA230/00. Here are the regional listings and the details to compare before buying.

Regional listings checked on 15 September 2026. Before importing a China-market NA230, check its voltage, frequency and plug against your home supply, and ask who will handle warranty repairs. The China-listed /00 is rated at 220–240 V / 50 Hz; a shared model number is not enough to choose an appliance for a different electrical supply.

The owner paid CNY 356 in January 2026. Compare today’s price for your local version, including the supplied accessories and warranty.

Our Take

What this first cook tells us

The owner reports one sweet-potato cook in an NA230 identified without a regional suffix: 50 minutes at 180°C, turning the potatoes after 30 minutes. The batch size and weight are unknown, so this is one result rather than a fixed recipe for NA230/00 (US and Germany) or NA230/09 (UK).

The owner was pleased with the finished sweet potatoes after 50 minutes at 180°C (356°F), including turning them after the first 30 minutes. Check your own batch as it cooks: the post gives no potato weights, so the timing is a guide rather than a fixed recipe. This was a first cooking session; longer-term use and other recipes are not covered.

If an all-metal interior or heating from above and below is important to you, check those features separately. They were the owner’s shopping preferences. The owner reports that the starfish-shaped base was supposed to improve hot-air circulation. Philips lists RapidAir circulation and a non-stick coating for NA230/00, but the cited evidence does not confirm a lower heating element.
