5 out of 5 stars Tastes fried, but lower in fat - Fantastic!   March 7, 2008
 29 out of 30 found this review helpful

I read up a lot about this product and got very mixed opinions. However I went ahead and bought one and love it!

You can cook so many things in it and they have all turned out lovely so far. There are no smells from it and it is so easy to clean.

Practically all of my family have tested the food from it and everyone has been very impressed - so much so that several of them have purchased one for themselves.



5 out of 5 stars An Excellent Alternative   March 4, 2008

I was very dubious about buying an Actifry after reading the mixed reviews, but after using it a few times I'm won over.

One of the main benefits of this machine is the ability to cook 1kg of chips at once, and unlike a traditional fryer where you have to continually check progress, with the Actifry you pop the chips in, add a spoon of oil, set the timer, and you can happily leave it doing its thing while you do yours.

You have to make sure fresh chips are totally dry before you put them in or they do come out soggy. We also use a full spoon of oil and find this gives much tastier results.

It gives off very little smell while cooking, and after a hour or so you would have no idea chips had been cooked in your kitchen ( unlike a deep fat fryer that leaves a horrid linger for ages )

I agree the timer could be better and should switch off when the cooking time is up.

But apart from this its a great buy!



4 out of 5 stars Now we can have HEALTHY CHIPS   February 18, 2008
 12 out of 14 found this review helpful

I would like to see a better timer bell, it is far too quiet for a noisy kitchen, it would be much improved also if it switched off with the timer control. Having said that I am really pleased with the job it does, we are both on a health kick and really were missing the occasional chip. I speed up the process of cooking chips by part cooking potatoes in their skins in the microwave for about three to four minutes then cutting them into chips before putting them in the Actifry. I find the machine itself large and wonder if it would be possible to put the fan heating system underneath or over the top of the pan?


4 out of 5 stars I Like it!!!!   February 17, 2008

I bought one at the Good Food Show last year. I love the convenience - chips taste good without all the fat/oil and smell of a deep fat fryer. Sausages, chicken and cubed meat are easy to cook and flavour without the use of the oven - therefore less cleaning! I am disappointed with the timer - cannot hear it and the cooker does not turn off after the time. Don't know how it would serve a family, but it is more than adequate for us. I would recommend it.


3 out of 5 stars broken motor   February 3, 2008
 18 out of 20 found this review helpful

i got one from argos last week, used it 4-5 times and the motor has siezed up! i'm taking it back today, i will get another one, it cooks chips fresh or frozen really well, sausages are very nice too.
very noisy, the build on the actifyer feels cheap though, (i thought the handle would break first!)
