A good product for my use.
I was a bit doubtful when I first purchased the Actifry but it's turned out to be good for me. I've tried using commercial, packaged "oven ready" items [such as chips, wedges etc] and although SOMETIMES the 'crinkle cut' chips may not end up whole, I find it works well.
I like 'home made' "veggie" style chips and find that with the addition of just a little olive oil, the veggie chips turn out a treat, just what I want, lower fat, low salt and still delicious. Care is needed with 'pumpkin chips' as if the pumpkin is too ripe, the chips do not always stay in one piece.

Why Dont They Last
I am on my THIRD machine. Love them but they really don't last long before you have to replace them. I only use it once or twice a week. The machine I have at the moment is that HOT you can Not touch it at all, It's very Bad. After my second machine I contacted TEFAL with no RESPONSE. NO MORE TEFAL

Smelt so bad
Cooked chips in it for the first time did a good job but the smell was so bad I had to go out of the room,wife said its only it was new BUT I don't know if a product should smell that bad when cooking the food you are eating can not be good for you, I don't think I will chance it so $300 wasted, my health is more important than chancing getting sick from a cooking utensil, non stick Teflon can cause cancer,

Good while it worked
I liked for chicken wings and French fries. With the arm can not do delegate things. It has started to make a thumping noise now when it cooks. It has not lasted and too expensive to quite working so quickly. Sounds like the motor is going out. Very unhappy with quality.

This Airfryer Is A Waste
It is totally a waste. At first, I thought buying this airfryer is better idea than Phillips air fryer because it has the turning arm inside the machine so I don't need turn the food during cooking chips, chicken wings, etc. However, I saw the Phillips airfryer can cook harshbrown, cakes, steaks, as whole piece food, the Tefal airfryer can not because of the turning arm which will destroy the harshbrown into little pieces. Second bad thing about this airfryer is made by plastic comparing to the Phillips one which is made by metal. Also, after c...Read more
ooking for 4 or 5 times, I could see the plastic lid changed colour from clear to brown so it is not safe for food. Let's think about this, a machine made from plastic uses heat to cook food, heat and plastic would the food be safe to eat? Also the lid is easy broken so when it breaks you can not use it anymore. Please save your money, do not buy this machine. Hope this review can give you a clear picture about this airfryer.1 comment

Such a disappointment
I bought one of the first actifry's.....it was fantastic used it 5-7 days a week. The lid broke couldn't get it replaced/fixed. Bought the new one, it is just awful takes 3 times more to cook. If top cooks bottom doesn't. It cost nearly $300. And it's no where near as good as the first one. So disappointed in this so called new technology. What a shame tefal!! love the healthy cooking side just hate waiting for food to be cooked after the recommended time passes!!

Was good for 1 month
I loved the actifry until it stopped spinning. Now it spins randomly and some food cooks, while other parts are still raw. I have to stand a watch it (Not great when you have 4 kids and chips take 30-40 minutes). Overall I would say it has been a disappointment. I won't be buying another one that's for sure.

Excellent product, no more buying frozen chips and tossing them into the oven
Great product. Works with potato chips and sweet potato chips Chicken vegtables and much more! However takes a bit long to cook and is loud as well as being cheaply built but its still good. Tasty and healthy foods with no/ a bit of oil.

Pleasantly Surprised. Love it
I was first a bit hesitant on purchasing this, especially since I was given a Phillips brand to try first. Hated the Phillips one, but the Tefal one is great. The chips were lovely and crispy. And no oil..... Cooks vegetables beautifully. And cooks sausages great as well. Can't wait to try more recipes. All in all, I am very happy..
little or no oil and cooks beautifully

Quick and easy
Very happy with this product after a friend recommended it to us ... A great alternate to a deep fryer, great with both frozen chips and potatoes so simple, quick and easy to use and love that it's only a spoonful of oil ... Easy to clean just pop in the dishwasher

Healthier cooking
I have been using this machine for more than a year now to cook frozen foods, chips and fried chicken. While it provides healthier food, it does not beat the taste that deep frying with oil produces. Chips is not as crunchy and tasty as if you deep fry. It is great to cook frozen food, such as frozen party size packs (mini pies, sausage rolls, spring rolls and money bags), frozen gyoza/dumpling. The results are as good as if you cook in oven but less time as you don't need to preheat oven. I also use to fry chicken that have been boiled with he...Read more
rbs/sauces (Asian style). But I cannot fry chicken that cover with flour (KFC style) or with batter as it will blow all the flour and mess the batter. Less oil used, dishwasher safe. Does not taste as good as deep fried foodSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
