 Excellent buy! A Healthier must for all kitchens. May 9, 2008
I am very impressed with the tefal Actifry! It cooks food beautifully that I would normally deep fat or shallow fry, as well as many foods I would bake or grill, without drying the food out. Although it may be considered pricey for a fryer my family and friends are also amazed and impressed, so much so that they have bought one themselves.

Wonderful chips, If there are any critisism it is that the timer buzzer is faint and not very audible over the actifry when running, also it would be helpful if the timer turned it off. However sill a superb piece of cook ware
Tastes fried, but lower in fat - Fantastic! March 7, 2008

I read up a lot about this product and got very mixed opinions. However I went ahead and bought one and love it!
You can cook so many things in it and they have all turned out lovely so far. There are no smells from it and it is so easy to clean.
Practically all of my family have tested the food from it and everyone has been very impressed - so much so that several of them have purchased one for themselves.

I was very dubious about buying an Actifry after reading the mixed reviews, but after using it a few times I'm won over.
One of the main benefits of this machine is the ability to cook 1kg of chips at once, and unlike a traditional fryer where you have to continually check progress, with the Actifry you pop the chips in, add a spoon of oil, set the timer, and you can happily leave it doing its thing while you do yours.
You have to make sure fresh chips are totally dry before you put them in or they do come out soggy. We also use a full spoon of oil and find this gives much tastier results.
It gives off very little smell while cooking, and after a hour or so you would have no idea chips had been cooked in your kitchen ( unlike a deep fat fryer that leaves a horrid linger for ages )
I agree the timer could be better and should switch off when the cooking time is up.
But apart from this its a great buy!

Bought mine from Costco for 99 incl VAT and my understanding is that this is one of the cheapest prices around for one of these. Have cooked my first 2 batches of chips and have to say that the results are very disappointing. Please note that I am referring to fresh, not frozen chips. I followed the instructions in the Tefal handbook to the letter and the chips that come out of this machine are rather soggy. They may well be healthy but I wouldn't push it as far as to say that the result is as good as deep fried chips. They have a definite baked taste about them and how can they not when they are basically baked in a manner of any electric oven? The only difference is that Actifry rotates them as they are cooked. If you attempt to leave your chips cooking any longer than the recommended cooking time, you will not make them crispier. They will burn instead.
I've not tried cooking sausages and all the rest of it in this machine but can tell you that seeing as this machine works by blowing hot air on your food, you may as well put it all in your oven and get the same results without spending circa 100-149 depending on where you buy it.
So, save yourself some money and space and don't bother. I am taking mine back tomorrow. Absolute rubbish.
