Excellent cooking product. I haven't had to buy oil in 6 months. Its the best chip fryer I have ever used and is so easy and quick. No mess and easy clean. Once you use it you will wonder how you lived with out it. It also cooks sausage in 10 mins, with a even browning,
Reliable. quick, fat free, easy clean
You have to watch how hot it gets. I wouldnt leave near small children.

It uses only 1 spoonful of oil for 1 kilogram of chips, which is great for watching your fat intake.
The transparent lid makes it so easy to monitor the cooking progress of your food and the 60 minute timer allows you to set and forget. It cooks a variety of foods and the best thing is, it's a breeze to clean.
Ease of use and the health benefits.

Did what it was supposed to do and worked reasonably well until it broke. For the money you pay for one of these things you would think it would last longer than fifteen months. Very disappointed, would expect that from a cheap Chinese machine!
cooked with very little oil making things healthier
Way to expensive as it blew up fifteen months after purchase. Shoud last longer than that for price! Only just made it out of warranty period.

Nothing wrong with the way it cooks chips. BUT only cooks enough for 2 at a time. Mum would be cheesed off if every time she cooked chips for a family with 2 kids she had to spend all the time peeling the spud, then drying them THEN about 80 minutes cooking them. She will be soon back buying a pack of frozen chips that she can put in the oven.

The tefal actifry makes delicious chips,sausages,nuggets and various other foods with very little or no oil!,I've had this for about 3 months and find it easy to clean and operate, it produces crisp guilt free chips!,Although costly,I find it an invaluable appliance in my kitchen - love it!
Easy to clean,simple operation
Expensive

Chips are soooo crisp. Everything tastes just so great. Last night I had a BBQ and made roast potatoes & pumpkin & carrots. They were amazing. The roast potatoes were so crisp, everyone was wrapped. Should have made more! Loving this product. Use it daily for healthy stir fries. Also last night made caramelised bananas and put with ice cream. Delicious! Would highly recommend.
Reliable, quick, fat free or low fat cooking. Delicious outcome.
Zero at this point!

I loved the Actifry, but the quality is an issue. First the filter surround broke (after a few months), but as it didn't affect operation I didn't replae it. The paddle then broke after about 18 months, and had to replace that. The clips on the lid broke after about 2 years, and the whole unit blew up (puff of smoke) after almost 3 years. I'm now wondering whether to replace with the same model (I loved it when it was going) or to try another brand. Would I recommend it? Not sure....
Fantastic for cooking oven fries, homemade chip and reheating cold chips
Quality

I saw this advertised on a Tv show. It promised almost fat free chips (3% fat) and it delivered with just a small spoonful of oil. I have since cooked fish, pork chicken and beef dishes that have all turned out fantastic.

A review of my weight afterwards proved that ni matter what you use it for there is no added weight.
Easy to clean!!! What a plus.
Cannot find a fault

We were very happy with Tefal Actifry...excellent chip cooker but for $320-00 that we paid for it in October 2009 it does not last long enough for value as the motor burned out too quickly. We enjoyed the no oil chips, now we have to purchase another expensive item as the price keeps going up. we expect it to at least last for another three years to get good value, so we are disappointed
efficient chip fryer- healthy eating
the equipment has 1 year and ten months life only - therefore the 12 month warranty...????

Unfortunately the clips that broke also engage the on/off switch so we can't use it. Lucky for us they sold us extended warranty really cheap so we can hopefully get it fixed. It's just a bit poorly made in that respect. We love the chips that are produced. No matter what we do we can't get them really crispy but we like them anyway. I'm rating it down purely on the fact that the build is a bit flimsy in places.
It makes great chips. Can do other foods too. Easy and so little fat. An easy way to make healthy chips for the kids without having to crank up the whole oven or deep fry.
The little clips that hold the lid down have broken and we only bought it just over 12 months ago.

great idea very healthy, im a chipoholic so this was idea!, needs more work because, bit dangerous, smoke and bad smell came out when it blew. both blew.
nice flavor chips! yum. easy clean
bought 2 and both blew up after a couple of uses, very disappointing. plus clips broke two

good and easy to operate but with great delicacies as the body is quite unique and soft.
experiments can spoil the the utility i think follow the book as provided by the product.really can work wonders for those conscious of diet and fat oriented diets because it adds taste,flovour and health.overall the machine can wondersin toadys world where work is getting harder and diet is dependent of full fat based food outlets where v run for our all meals.dont go anywhere this machine gives an answer "no" to all fat based food industries.
the presentation of the product catches an eye.crisp potatoes,and low fat output
very delicate to use for tough items

Only had my Actifry a few weeks but am pleased with my purchase. The chips are just great and I have tried one of the chicken recipes from the included recipe book and also cooked sausages - all turned out great. The sausages really surprised me - they were large thick sausages - just prick them with a fork (as normal) and put in - it took 6 - and 15 minutes later, no turning, they were ready and tasted great ! Only trouble with this machine so far is being so new, I tend to watch the food cook - like seeing is believing !!! *lol*

I can understand how it could break easily - it doesnt seem to be very robust and it feels like it should be treated gently - so far though, so good.
Great food
Appears to be quite filmsy

use with approx 750gm frozen chips and mixed with half spoon of oil. takes about 25mins or 1kg homemade chips & 2 spoons oil. takes about 40 mins.
reliable, set and leave

Ive used the actifry for frozen chips, baked potatoes, chicken nuggets, calamari rings, prawns and fish. The chips were fantastic, the prawns got a bit smashed up by the paddle and the calamari was a bit chewy but very tasty. Ive been using the cholesterol lowering margarine in it so I can have cholesterol reducing chips!
Chips taste great
Expensive, food gets smashed up by the paddle, slow

The product was fantastic, it is disappointing that Tefal's service has not been as good as there product. it has been two months and i'm still waiting on my replacement.
this is a fantastic way of cooking healthy chips that taste like real chips.
mine actually exploded and had to be sent back to tefal.
