A little on the bulky side but very simple and efficient to use, just one small spoonful of oil and I get perfect fries every time. I have also used it for making a one pot curry and it turned out delicious, reducing the amount of pans and wash up needed. easy wipe clean surface, no need to scrub.

Our paddle just broke and since it's out of warranty Tefal won't replace it! The guy just kept saying "I don't know, I don't know" when I tried to explain to him it seems to be a common problem and should be replace for free! I'm not paying $50 for a part that's faulty.

In my experienxe It is grear for fries and chicken wings but not so much for other food. However the enwrgy consumption is really high. If you fry potato alor, then go for it otherwise, i dpnt thunk is worth the price. It a alittle bit pricy in my opinion

Love this, you do not need the paddle unless for fries, if coating anything, remove paddle drop in cook, It is a time cooking, just like your oven, only difference, this does exactly what it should at constant temp were ovens very.

So in closing paddle out, unless making fries,

We've not tried this as a general "Fryer" but we have tried everything to cook decent chips, it's why we bought it! All we get no matter what we try is soggy chips.
We've tried different potatoes, different oils, different cooking times, chips soaked to remove the starch, then dried

cooks food in half the time the oven deos.. chicken wings are awesome in it and so are french fries. easy to clean and don't need dishwasher. Its little recipe book is very handy for quick easy meals.I would recomend this product for someone first starting in a new apartment with no stove or oven.

So far I have to give it 5 stars
Never burns anything as the meat is turned constantly by the paddle
I make a lot of pork chicken or beef strip Stir fry meals effortlessly now
And wow.. Did I mention how beautifully it cooks pork? Delicious crispy skin pork every time
This is easily my favorite cooking appliance and gets a lot of use
20 mins max for chips and stir fries

love it when it worked.$200 and lasted twelve months.TEFAL dont want to know me and i have to pay $49 dollars to have it looked at.Beware when buying of Ebay if its not a retailer you are not covered with the warranty.Mine was brand new in a box sealed and unopened.I am not happy.Great product when it worked

Brought this back in 2014 used it a few times then stored it the cupboard. Went to use it today and realised where the lid clips in its all melted. Then realised they only come with 1year warranty -_- now i have a huge appliance that is completely useless great right

I have two Tefal non stick fry pans and they are brilliant, a quick wash, wipe out and they're clean. With the air fryer, its a pity that the non-stick is not as good as their fry pans. Its great for chips, but, I have found that any other oils etc will leave a hard to remove residue. So, its soaking so as not to damage the "non-stick" surface. Another thing I have noticed is that the rotating arm is not sealed at the bottom, this can allow "pieces" to lodge inside, and it does take time to remove the "pieces" when cleaning. If the arm bottom could be sealed, cleaning would be much better. In summary, a good piece of kitchen kit, be a lot better if the non-stick matched their "magic" frypans.

Tefal. I love your products, the Soup Maker particularly because it is made in France. I will not buy China made products and it's not about being racist, it's just I've had so many issues with their products, however, Tefal when someone complains about a product rather than send an animated message, why not be more personable and write the message to the buyer proper!!

Ok it's my own fault really and I have no one else to blame but myself. I had the original model for years and used it despite the fact that the lid broke off the machine months after purchase. Finally the centre piece shattered but did I just throw it away ? No, I stupidly purchased the newer larger model . I now use it for cooking chips only as the rest of the food cooked in it tastes boiled and boring ! If you have a kitchen at home you just don't need one of these, unlike me please be wise and think before you go out and spend a crazy amount of money on an item you will never use, worst decision I ever made. I regret not making use of the 30 day returns policy offered by Tefal at the time.

The size is not 'family' like it descriptive and does not operate as promised. Not have room and power for 1,5 kg of cooking. If you same time using top tray, actuator in loaded till mark lower pot is not have room for work and pushing food along the wall is all. The real cooking time is twice longer of written in brochure. Especially not useful for family with children.

I bought this yesterday and have attempted a few dishes and each and every one turned out chewed to bits. Chicken drumsticks, the coating and the chicken itself was destroyed. Tried chips, the potatoes were smashed. Tried a number of things and they all were broken up by the paddle.

I have only had mine a couple of months and love doing roast potatoes, sweet potato, carrots and pumpkin in it and get a cooked chicken and I have a quick roast. Have made chips in it they were beautiful. I am wanting to get another two tefal for my kids houses to make life easier, I rave about how they do potatoes,I do cook mine in butter, don't like oil.

We used this 4 or 5 days per week for about 2.5 years . . so it did plenty of work. The lid broke and then the stirrer. Having read other reviews we decided to not buy replacement parts and instead by a new air fryer. It gave great service.
