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!!

We Are very pleased with our purchase we use it almost every day.
Only one issue and that is the timer will not switch off the machine and perhaps the timer itself is not loud enough.
We prefer really crunchy chips and this cooker is perfect however we find that in most cases the recommended cooking time for "anything" is about 30% more than recommended.

this machine makes great chips and fried chicken, and almost any thing with paddle installed, i have never burnt anything in it since everything just spins around. any meat chopped up with marinade/sauce will come out perfect. how ever i would recommend not to put large bones or full chicken drum sticks inside since the paddle can snap, instead chop the ends off or peel them. paddles can be brought off eBay for $30aud
this air fryer is almost perfect in my opinion, how ever it fall short of 5 out of 5 because it can be hard to clean, food gets stuck in the paddle and the white plastic seems semi porous so it can not simply be wiped and looks pretty filthy eventually. in the end of the day i think this is a mans tool.

I love this machine, the paddle does not need to be used when cooking something larger, really good for vegies,
specially potato, put in raw. The only problem is with the paddle, I have had to buy 3. Otherwise I love using it.
Have used it for meatballs, chicken, vegies, etc. Whole dinners.

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.

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.

I find the centre piece to be a nuisance, it messes up the food, maybe I am not using it properly but I am going according to instructions. I find it actually breaks up some of the food especially fish and burgers so I mostly use it for chips because these come out ok. Not as good as I expected.

I got mine home and was excited to use it. Cut up my sweet potato washed and rinsed it put it in and waited 30 minutes to come back to uncooked chips because the heating element doesn't work. I can't seem to get it to work. It's a piece of junk.

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

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,

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.

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!!
