Great addition to any kitchen

published

Bought it on a whim and have no regrets, easy to use and cooks perfectly. I use it everyday and it's paid for itself. Only issue I really have is the size, takes up a lot of bench space and my cupboards are too small to store it, but the design makes it okay as it looks modern so blends in with the other small appliances.

Big fan, must have kitchen appliance

published

I avoided buying one for years, having got one recently I'm now regretting not having got one sooner. Easy to use, quick, crispy, delicious chips, fish, sweet potato, reheating pastries and the odd pizza!! Good alternative to using microwave for many items. It's perfect for one or two serving sizes of your item of choice.

The husband loves it!

published

I nagged and nagged when the husband brought it home because it was on sale. I thought it was too big and we don't need it. But I was wrong!

It's a great product that is so easy to use and clean! Easy to pack away. Very little oil required. We have been eating lots of chips as a result lol. We are still experimenting with sweet potato fries though.

We are going to experiment with more recipes soon. Everyone I know who has one also loves it.

This is a great product!

published

Love it- so fast and easy to clean!! Just put the basket in the dishwasher. It does hot chips from frozen in 15mins! I couldn’t live without it.
Worst thing is the amount of bench space you loose.
Handy hint- sit a chopping board permanently under where you’d pull the basket out (especially onlaminate benchtops) as it very hot and you’ll want to put it down to turn the food over or check it.

How did i survive before

published

Love this machine, from homemade chips to potato bake to steak to garlic bread. Saves time cooking, uses little to absolutely no oil, easy to clean in the dishwasher, and so much fun to cook with. Also bought the rack and baking dish. Unfortunately does not come with a receipt book, but google can help with that.

Such a time saver!

published

At first we thought this appliance was a bit of a gimmick but we found it to actually be really great!
It has saved us so much time in the kitchen - it cooks evenly and quickly. No more waiting around for preheating, it’s ready to go straight away! You can buy various accessories separately as well, but we mainly use as is. Great for cooking chicken pieces, sausages, chips, chicken schnitzel, veggies, chicken nuggets etc. I’ve even used it for desserts like Apple crumble, or entree like toasting slices of Turkish bread. When people come over and see how great it is they end up buying one themselves. It cooks much faster than an oven, so weeknight dinners are on the table much faster- love it

PRETTY GOOD

published

We purchased the air fryer earlier this year, as we were recommended by a family friend. Truly, the product works exceptionally well and makes frying food an easier and quicker process. After frying, the food item is more healthier, as less oil was used during the frying process. It's a yes for us!!

Best appliance in the house

published

Love my air fryer. You can have a meal cooked quicker than it takes to heat up oven and you can or don't have to use oil. Your choice. Like pizza have oven heating cook ingredients in air fryer and when oven is ready pop in oven and cooked in 15 minutes. Great for Greek style vegetables and the best chips ever.

Excellent Meals

published

The air fryer works quickly cooking food that is crispy and tasty and never oily. It was easy to clean. The children were able to cook their food without fear of getting burnt or wastage. They enjoyed lots of different types of food from vegetable and meats. It has a long life span and is still in excellent condition.

Great air fryer

published

This is another of my favorite kitchen appliances. It's a much healthier way of eating fried foods or making stir fry. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it is quite pricey and it can smoke sometimes when cooking meat. But I enjoy cooking in this. I hope to one day up grade to it's even better and bigger fryer

Good purchase. Great for cooking spring onions fast. Would recommend maybe a smaller size because it takes up a lot of space. Love the colour. I was very surprised with the results the first try, the food came out well. It saves a lot of power and is great for fast cooking.

Great cooking results no more greasy foods
Variety of foods can be cooked
Easy to use, even elderly can work this machine out
Easy to clean, fast to clean.

Only thing i would like is a cook book or handy hints booklet included. I found an online book but a hard copy would be better.

Very good product

published

We used deep fryer before. Recently, we replaced with this for health issue. I didn't expect good taste as deep fryer but I was surprised when I tried first time. It is very easy to use and we can keep clean.
Advantages: easy to use, good quality, good performance, can keep clean
Disadvantage: not suitable for non pre-cooked food, small space

Finally, we made decision to use both this and old deep fryer (for only non pre-cooked food).

Can’t live without it

published

Have owned our air fryer for at least 3 years now. It’s the best thing to won if you like eating pies, pizza, chicken nuggets, fries etc
It saves power by not needing to fire up the whole own and it’s quick!
Only have two small complaints, the basket is hard to clean and it needs a bigger basket which I know now you can get. So my advice to you is “Buy the bigger model!”

Better than expected!

published

Our oven started playing up so we grabbed one of these to get us through until we replaced the oven.
We love it. We’ve been cooking all sorts of stuff & just about everything comes out great.
The only things I think need improving are the temperature dial isn’t accurate enough & the power cord is too short.
In hindsight we should’ve got the biggest model so we could fit a good sized roast in it.

Great healthier way to cook.

I love my air frier. Can cook anything and everything in it. And without all the fat. I love that most of the fat from the foods drain into the bottom and away from the food. I use this every night to cook family meals. Just pop it in a wait for the ding.
