Simplus 5L digital air fryer review

The Simplus 5L is a family-sized basket with digital touch controls and a viewing window. Its price has climbed to near what branded 5.5L fryers cost, so it is no longer the cheap way into a 5L basket, and you are still buying a budget brand.

1450W crisps for four, a bit slower at full load

The 1450W element handles everyday cooking well (fries, hotdogs, chicken, frozen kakanin) and the 5L basket is big enough for a family of 4. The viewing window lets you check on browning without yanking out the basket and dumping the heat. It won’t crisp as fast or as evenly at full load as a 1700W unit, but for the price, the results are honestly good.

A viewing window at this price, in lighter plastic

Digital touch panel, non-stick basket, and a viewing window you don’t usually get at this price. The trade-off is in the materials, the plastic feels lighter and less premium than a Philips or Cosori, and that’s where the savings show. It’s fine for normal home use; just don’t expect a tank.

A roomy 5L basket, with thinner support than big brands

Around ₱3,999 as of October 24, 2026. That is close to the price of the Midea 5.5L, which comes with a brand service network. The honest catch: brand support and warranty are thinner than the big names, so factor that in if you’re thinking long-term.

Your first air fryer, with room to spare

Buy this if you want a 5L touch panel with a viewing window, you’re new to air frying, and you’re okay with budget-brand build and support. If you want it to last many years or you cook heavy loads every day, step up to a sturdier 5L unit.
