5.0 out of 5 stars Its good at what it does.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 May 2019

This item is sometimes marketed as a healthy way to cook, I'm not really sure that this is correct. What it does do is give you the opportunity to cook unhealthier things in a healthier way and it does this rather well. I now do all my chips from potatoes rather than buy oven chips which have already been partly deep fried before leaving the manufacturer and do the same with my roast potatoes. I have also done baked potatoes (remove paddle first) , wedges with different seasonings and cubed sweet potato. With sweet potatoes chips and wedges I find it best to remove the paddle as it has a habit of squashing them as they cook due to the softness of the potato. My son who is young and foolish so has no concerns about eating healthily loves the actifry for doing his oven chips and sausages , in fact he says they are the best chips he has ever had. I have also cooked mediterranean veg in 15 mins which was very nice and it deals with mushrooms and tomatoes efficiently. I have purchased many products to help in the kitchen over the years and most are now taking up room at the back of my cupboards , the actifry however will share no such fate as it is in use one way or another most days. If you are planning to buy this to become the healthiest person in Britain then you may be disappointed but it you are buying it to reduce the amount of unhealthy food you eat than it is a very worthwhile purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now one of my kitchen essentials

This is an ideal size for two people. I ordered this for my mum as I have had the family size for a couple of years and couldn't be without it. It is very easy to use. I love that I don't have to keep checking and turning my chips - I can walk away and leave them. I use oven chips in it and adding the oil they taste incredible (have had so many friends say 'how do you make your chips, they're amazing!!!'). When I'm following slimming world I chip my potatoes and add them with frylight to the actifry and being able to eat chips really helps me to stick with my diet. I have also used it to make curries, Mexican and even sausage, bacon and mushrooms for breakfast! I look at it as a self stiring nonstick frying pan - so anything I would cook in that way I would cook in my actifry. All the parts are replaceable so it's easy when a bit breaks and you don't have to replace the whole fryer - although it's fairly hardy to be honest. Iv had mine for 3years and iv replaced the handle and the rim. I also wash the bowl and paddle in dishwasher with no problems.

I like chips. There I said it. So I wanted an Air fryer and this one had good reviews. It work fine and makes GOOD chips and roast potatoes. The fired chicken is not so good, I'll have to try some more experiments with the batter mix to see if I can get better results.

I cannot comparte this with another product as this is the only one I have tried.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good actifry. Happy I bought it
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 May 2020
Verified Purchase
I was very skeptical about this product as I had read reviews that said the paddle squashed food.
We love it. Originally I had the Breville halo fryer which is discontinued, I spent hours searching for a new actifry and finally chose this one.

It makes home made chips a lot better than the Breville did. If I want to cook food with without it being turned, I silly remove the middle paddle. This would be for food like bacon or anything you want to crisp up.
It goes in the dishwasher and cleans well.
Its not too loud and it does what it should. I am very happy with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chip Butty !!!! I made it
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 January 2017
Verified Purchase
Just got this .... via Prime next day delivery to be honest I was sceptical with this tea spoon of oil to make chips. Can I also say Ive never made chips in my life however as the wife was as sceptical as I was she too was intrigued when I peeled a couple of spuds and chipped washed and dried them on a bit of kitchen roll, followed the instructions and put a "spoon of oil" on them and set it going. As soon as I saw them browning up I took them out. I wont say they taste like chip shop chips Id say they tasted as they should very nice chips that I had for my lunch a good old "chip butty"
How this will fair in the days and weeks to come will be down to her indoors who does all the kitchen stuff. She's thus far impressed.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 February 2019

I have only had this a few weeks but have tried several things besides chips ie) sausages, chicken pieces, potato wedges, fish and they have all come out really tasty. I have a couple of books now so will be trying more adventurous recipes in due course. Best thing is not having to heat my whole fan oven for just some chips, roasties or small items of meat. It is definitely cheaper on electric as so much smaller than a full sized oven. Will post more when I have tried some more recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the Earlier Model
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 December 2018
Verified Purchase
This is our second one the first - an earlier model - having lasted over 4 years. (The paddle broke and while we almost certainly could have got a part it seemed reasonable to replace the whole item.) The new one is better; I like the raised cone in the middle which makes it stay cleaner and easier to clean. More importantly the chips seem to cook faster and be a bit more crisp. I consider the chips it produces as better than oven chips.
Some may consider the result not to be as good as getting chips deep fried but they are a lot more healthy!

5.0 out of 5 stars The first and still the best
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 August 2020

This is my 4th actifry. Think of it as a wok that stirs itself . It cooks at a high temperature and produces great tasting food. Chips are the goto choice but it can cook stir frys and Curries exceptionally well. Add a basket instead of the paddle and it's a perfect hot air fryer. Probably the most used kitchen appliance I have ever owned.
