Very easy and cost effective cooking
Love the speed of cooking and a healthier way to eat fried foods. I have also cooked dishes like risotto which was super easy as the usual stirring is done by the machine’s paddle.
The only downside is the paddle/centre means you can’t cook cakes or bread (as other machines can) but I didn’t buy it to do that anyway.
I also wouldn’t say it was large enough for more than 3-4 people max without cooking in batches.
We are using it to cook most things and reducing our energy costs as a result +++++
Great produc
Was dubious about buying one of these as we’d had a cheaper version that broke and couldn’t really justify the price. It came up on prime day discount so took the plunge and now we’ve used it, I’d pay full price for one. It’s absolutely brilliant and a different world of cooking to our older one.
Amazing cooking item for healthy food
I was skeptical to get an air fryer for quite a while and when I saw the above item on discount , I decided to give it a go and I am glad that I did! Both me and my partner now enjoy actual healthy food and it cooks much faster than our oven. The airfryer is very easy to clean ,easy to learn and also it comes with its own cook book. Highly recommended
Best For Chips
I’ve had a Tefal paddle air fryer for many years and always used it for chips. The old one eventually fell apart after 9 years or so and it was time for a new one. I bought a mid range Ninja and was highly disappointed with unevenly cooked chips despite regular shaking. Eventually decided to get back to the Tefal and bought the Genius+. It was a warm welcome back to decent chips. The Ninja hasn’t gone to waste though as we are now using the Ninja as an oven substitute at half the energy price of a full sized oven, when appropriate.
In summary, if it’s chips you want this is the best one to buy. Don’t forget to add a measure of vegetable oil for crispiness and a good colour.
Replaceme
Replaced an actifry plus but doesn’t live up to expectations, cooking time is taking longer.
Newer actifry
Although this newer version does not seem as sturdy it does the job. Easy to clean and a better control system. Would recommend
Perfectio
Perfection in every way was looking for one of these that would be like the last one I had. So it’s absolutely perfect when cooking definitely perfect wedges
Great food
Love the actifry this is our second, use it for all sorts, scampi, fish fingers, chicken, either use the basket, or just remove the Paddle
It’s great!
Much better design than older models, they have fixed some of the irritating things like a funnel in the middle which stops bits falling through. Best one yet!
Super chips
Love my Act-fry, makes perfect chips. I haven’t tried cooking anything else yet. It’s easy to clean too.
Great buy!!
This is one of the best buy’s this year. Ive been using this for a couple of months now and only used my main oven once. It takes no time to warm up, cooks evenly and quickly and cheap to run.
Good replacement for my old actifrye
My original actifryer broke.I’d come to rely on it for most cooking.Shopped around for the best value replacement & found it here.Works perfectly no issues.
Happy
Arrived promptly and my husbands loves it with his collection app is great for recipes ideas. So simple and easy to use and just put in dishwasher for simple cleaning.
Love i
This machine is brilliant the fact you can cook chips and meat/fish in the same machine in one go is great once you get use to the programmes
Bought this newer model to replace my first generation tefal air frye
Superb product, love the included mesh basket, just large enough to prepare food for 2 people. I have done vegetable crisps, thai curry, calamari, burgers and MANY portions of sweet potato fries in this over the last year. Second only to my rice cooker, this is the best cooking appliance I have bought for my kitchen.
A belter of an airfrye
I did a LOT of research before buying my first airfryer and settled on this one. It is brilliant. I really like the rotatory that ensures that the food is always evenly cooked. It comes apart very easily to clean and most times I just give it a quick rub round with Kitchen roll.
Cooking times in comparison to a conventional oven are far less and even cooking from frozen isn’t an issue. Roast Potatoes are amazingly crispy in i
Very easy to use and clea
Let’s be honest the reason I bought this was I have never found an oven chip that was any good. Use a good chip making spud and about half the measure of olive oil. Chips are option 1. 30 mins later awesome chips.
Not a cheap but if kit but we’ll made and it will give me the incentive to try other things
Like the black colour.
Very easy to use manually but a bit complicated using the icon settings. Booklet could be more informative.
I owned the original Tefal which cooked chips perfectly, very crispy.
But find this new Genius with pan doesnt crisp chips enough. I do use both for chips + fish or meat and the pan cooks perfectly.
Great item
This is the 3rd one we have owned. Not as tough as it could be considering the price but difficult to get old timers to try something different !
This is a smaller version but it’s still great!
This is my second one and we’ll worth the money. It’s ideal for two people but might be a bit small for a family of 4 plus. Or maybe we eat too big a portions? It saves putting the oven on every day & quick
Used most days since purchased.
Bought as a replacement for Actifry Family which had faulty power lead. This model is improved as the power lead in hard wired so the previous fault cannot happen. Very easy to use and much quicked than the older model.
Love i
We were lucky as we got this around Christmas time, before Christmas it was 284 and we got it for less than half price. Burgers are fine in no time, about 8 minutes chips in about 29. It doesn’t explain it very well in the instructions but when doing two things you have to let the first thing finish it’s time then it will bro at you to start the next thing, eg; chips 29 mins burger 8 let the chips do 29 then do the burger it keeps the chips warm underneath without burning them so it’s all ready to serve at the same time.
Amazing
Not a lot to say but I love this actifry, done chicken, steaks, chicken nuggets, fish cakes and obviously chips. Love the fact you can cook in the bottom and add the top tray to complete your meal
Great piece of equipme
This is an upgraded model to my previous actifry. Loved my old one and love this with the added Bonus of being able to cook the meat without using another way of cooking. I have not had it long so just getting used to my times . Would definitely recommend and wad on at a good price at the time so even happier.
Fantastic
Really good couldn’t live without it
Only minor thing as with all actifry not easy to clean bits getting stuck by handle and inside
I have had several actifry’s over the years and decided to upgrade to this version due to the dual tray. The machine itself is defiantly the smartest one i have owned and i really like the new design. It’s tall but still fits on my worktop and slides under my kitchen cupboard fine. The food cooks well and is no different to any of the previous actifrys i have owned. Chips taste great in this, and with minimal oil you can indulge that little bit more often. The only thing i dont like about the machine is the controls. To start with it took me forever to work out how to only switch on the top cooking tray.. the instruction book is pretty useless and didn’t really explain it that well. The touch pad isn’t wonderfully responsive either. Whatever you do don’t loose the manual either as you will need it to work out your cooking programme as they are listed as numbers on the touchpad. There are icons like fish and chicken but not every food is described by an icon. The one thing i hate about this new design, and what i would describe as a major flaw is that you have to have the stirring paddle in the bottom section of the fryer if you wish to use the top section of the fryer. Therefore if you cook anything that may go slightly soft such as croquets in the bottom section they will be a mashed potato mush if you wish to use the top cooking plate also. I wish tefal had of included a separate stand for the upper plate without the need for the stirring paddle. Cleaning of the unit is ok… as always anything where you use oil requires additional elbow grease. Keep on top of the cleaning or else it will be a nightmare! A wipe down inside and out is a must after every use. Top Tip – press and hold the button that looks like a sombrero button if you wish to swap between the top and bottom cooking modes!
Weird - NO RECIPE BOOK
This Actifry Advance has come beautifully packed, with several bits of paper, but no recipe book or instructions how to use it except a fold-out sheet with diagrams written with a faint colour (as seems to be the rage when writing anything about cooking these days). I can’t understand the diagrams or how to use this machine. I have some idea, because I have used an Actifry Original up until now, but how and when do you use the upper level of this thing?
Brillia
Had the original one for years didn’t think I would need another when it gave up the ghost but I was wrong this is very good does chips great no need to keep your eye on it it does the work for you very pleased
Excelle
An excellent air fryer – easy to use, easy to clean. Grea
Boosh! Actifry? Activate!
Tefal ActiFry – 5 Stars
I recently purchased one of these for my mother who’s now retired. But unfortunately Amazon didn’t know about this and delivered it before Christmas, without any wrapping. Just a Box. So it ruined the surprise. The second thing is that it was not delivered on time and that was stressful for my Mum. But anyway after it finally arrived the next day and the emotional pain had been gotten over – my Mum decided to do a test run. And I’ve never heard her so happy. Which is amazing from an Air Fryer so well done Tefal. Makes me proud I spent the extra money on this fryer for my Mum. I even got the combination of frier and book and my Mum commented that she loves it more than she loves Tennis! Couple of minor snags – 1) it’s not THAT easy to clean and I found cleaning the Paddle particularly challenging – especially after melting the cheese wedge. 2) Ease of use – I gave three Stars because if you work for NASA this is obviously a piece of Cake (fried Cake) – but if not – well it takes some getting used to. My Mum was actually crying into the thing on Boxing Day because she couldn’t start it. 3) Temperature Control – whilst it’s true it has a Manual mode I would have liked to have a better range in temperature – maybe in shorter increments. Maybe a software Hotfix could later fix this but I don’t think it connects to the internet – but I might be mistaken – my Internet is always playing up. Anyway – long story short – and absolutely fantastic piece of kit that I would always recommend to anyone who has a Mum – just don’t do what I did and try to Heat up Cornflakes – it ended badly. Buy!
Good capacity and temperature control a definite bonus
I like the extra capacity of this air fryer and also being able to change the temperature and timing. I have only used it twice so far so am limited on what I can say about, though I am pleased to date.
Fantastic
I like the way it cooks quickly and the food tastes good
Pretty good
I’m a bit gutted I didn’t get the bigger Genius xl (or whatever it’s called) which can cook two things at once. With this the basket cannot be used at the same time as the stirrer so you’d have to cook delicate food in the basket then tougher stuff (chips) in the stirrer straight after then heat up the delicate stuff again or vice versa.
But the basket is great for delicate items like fish fingers and jalapeo poppers. It’s also amazing at making chips from fresh potatoes with its stirring paddle
Perfect redukts and easy to use
This is much better than my original Actifry which did not switch off after the timer finished. Previously my teenager would put his chips /nuggets etc on and disappear off (waiting for Fairy Mother to switch it off!) and return when it was overcooked/burnt. This version switches off after the timer. Thank the Lord! No more accidental cremations. Lots of space for more food and can do loads with it based on the youtube videos. Great buy and delighted with it.
Second time around.
Years ago we bought one of the original Tefal Actifrys, it was really useful and convenient until the day that it just stopped working. So now bought another one and we are glad that we have, cooked our old favourites and experimenting with new recipes. Only down side is that the stirring paddle can be a pain to clean.
I bought this for my daughter and she loves i
As I said I bought as a gift and they love it!!
Brilliant at cooking chips, whether from frozen or fresh
Having previously owned the original 1kg ActiFry that reached its end of life, we bought this as its replacement. This 1.2kg model is taller, but has roughly the same footprint. Likewise, its frying pan is taller due to an additional clip around the edge and has a narrower stirring paddle. This made its capacity deceptive as we ended up cooking way too many chips on its first use. 750g of frozen chips take roughly 31 minutes and 1kg of fresh chips take roughly 35 minutes. Our previous ActiFry took 40 and 50 minutes, respectively for the equivalent brownness.
Although the booklet recommends cooking frozen chips without oil, we found these chips come out much taster with a full spoon of olive oil, as with the previous ActiFry. Then again, even this only works out like a teaspoon of oil per person when split between 3-4 people. For freshly cut chips, we could not tell any difference in crispiness between putting in chips wet of completely dry, so we just use a strainer after rinsing the chips and put them straight in the pan with a full spoon of oil. This saves a lot of time trying to dry them and one less towel to wash. It’s no like a deep fryer where wet chips can boil over. Anyway, the air fryer no doubt dries the chips anyway in the first minute or two of operation, like using a hand dryer.
Like the original ActiFry, this also cooks breaded and pastry products very well, without burning or drying out, an issue we have trying to do such products on a health grill. As it does not require the paddle to use, we can also cook multiple single serving pies and it has a temperature control just like a fan oven. This means we can cook various small items without the running cost of using our main oven and it does not require preheating either. We have yet to try stir frying or other products, but then again we mainly do our stir frying with a cook top wok.
While our original ActiFry cooked sausages very well, we decided against using this new ActiFry for sausages and other greasy food based on how difficult the original 1kg ActiFry was to clean afterwards. Just like a frying pan, sausages and meatballs spatter grease droplets against the top window, which over time caused the window to go dark brown on our original ActiFry. The grease was also difficult to clean off the paddle, pan rim, crevices, etc. which no doubt would be the case with the new ActiFry. So while the ActiFry can cook what a health grill can cook, we still use our George Foreman for greasy food.
Finally, while this is expensive compared to other Air Fryers, the main reason we bought another was due to inexpensive replacement parts, such as when the paddle and handle broke on the original ActiFry. The motor finally failed, but that was after 7 years, where we typically used it twice a week. Our previous deep fryers only lasted a few years, not to mention to cost of replacing 3 litres of cooking oil every month. The second big advantage is not having to shake the chips during cooking – We just load the pan and leave it be until the time is up, after which it automatically switches off and plays a tune.
We love the actifry
We replaced a older actifry with this one and we still love it the only thing is my mother is partially sighted and the old one had easy buttons to press and start this one you have to put the timer on to work it and she carnt see that and the button As they are flush to surfaces may be a little thought for tefal to look and make the buttons a bit more prominent but we love this anyway from making stir fry to chips the best invention eve
Brillia
I had a very old actifry and I also have an air fryer (drawer type) but they have their own individual uses. Drawer type air fryer is good for stuff like fish and chicken steaks that you don’t want looking like a disaster when they’re cooked cause obviously the actifry rotates everything but the actifry is brilliant for chips. And roast potatoes and of course recipes like chilli. Very useful and handy
Quick and delicious food.
Not lot of oil needed so much healthier , and quick and tasty meat and chips etc, I like the two layer effect, and smaller than most fryers, fits nicely in a corner of a worktop. would buy agai
Cooks nicely but the 2 in 1 cooking claims are totally misleading...
It does do a good job of cooking stuff, but if you are expecting it to cook 2 different things at once, it doesn’t, despite the misleading claims. Basically you have to cook chips or whatever in the bottom tray first then you cook any additional stuff in the upper tray afterwards whilst the stuff in the bottom tray stays put & remains heated. So for instance if you do Burger and chips, you need to cook chips for 20 mins and then the burgers for 10 mins, so your total cooking time is 30 mins, the 2 in 1 feature just means you set the dual timers for upper and lower tray together before you start, not quite what I expected! Another minor niggle is the handle for the top tray is unnecessarily fiddly to get on and off due to the crap design. The instructions are very complicated & difficult to understand for something that’s basically quite simple and I had to read them time and time again. Overall though, despite all these shortcomings it does do a very good job of cooking multiple items and all the food is nicely cooked and piping hot. I got this at a hugely reduced price courtesy of Amazon and I’m happy with my purchase, but at full RRP you would have to think twice and consider the competitors’ offerings.
Tefal Actifry Advance
I would not be without the Actifry, this is the second I have bought over the years and it is excellent. I certainly would not dream of cooking my chips any other way
Really good
Very easy to use with an app to help you decide which pre program to use and even has a feature that you can put in what ingredients you have and it gives you possible meals to make with what you have
Only downside is that it’s a bit noisy but the pros outweigh the cons plus spares are easily available to buy should they be needed
Tried several air fryers, this is my preferred to replace my dead Breville Halo+, great but big
I loved my Breville Halo+. The spinning action on air fryers is an essential feature and I was going to buy the same one again but it seems to be discontinued (don’t know why because it is a great machine)
I found out that the best replacement would be one of these Tefal ActiFry and I had the Acifry Genius + which had similar dimensions to my late fryer. I tried it and returned one hour after, just when I discovered that the machine cannot work without the paddle due to leaving the engine exposed to food, steam and liquids. That stops to fry pieces of fish, croquettes, or any other soft meal which would be broken by the paddle jostling.
More investigation and in the end, even it is bigger than I wanted, I had the ActiFry Genius XL 2 in 1. This version still has a pan with a paddle that cannot be removed, but the issue is sorted out because it has a second level on top, which is a tray with no paddle but still spins on function.
This tray works well for the mentioned soft meals like fish, croquettes etc.
I have tried it over Saturday for 5 different dishes including fresh home potato fries and chicken nuggets, vegetable croquettes, roasted salmon and mushroom paninis, with very good results. The possibility to program the 2 levels separately or combined is interesting, even I still think that the Breville Halo+ had a clever inclined spinning option which made the same effect with no paddle, and it covered that way all the needs in a compact size over the worktop ….
Upgarde
I upgraded form the old model of the actifry this is much improved and easy to use and clean would recommend
Hot air cooking
Once u get the hang of it ur going to use nothing else,healthy meals for all the family

An absolute game change
This thing makes the ultimate chips and roast potatoes.
It’s honestly 10X better than my old air fryer – would highly recommend.
Pop the dish in the dishwasher – perfect.
This puts us in control!
Our second Actifry. The first (“Original”) was really good, but our new Genius+ Is brilliant. We feel we can make it do so much more, and with it’s adjustable program modes there really could not be anything simpler and yet more versatile. No regrets, despite the cost!
Actifry the best brand of air fryers
Bigger and more quantity cooking.
Thought the two in one cooking would be faster but seems to also require double the time as the cooking modes are done in sequence. So, I just put everything together in the big dish. For example frozen fries and chipolatas all together.
Love these :) Replacement.
(genius, 1.2kg) I bought an Original years ago, but it doesn’t look the same as the one they’re currently calling ‘original’. Mine didn’t have any programs, or timers, or auto switch offs and lid was filthy, so decided to buy this new one with xmas prezzy money.
I thought I’d compare physical sizes so tried putting the old bowl, splash guard and stirrer into the new one. They’re the same size! I’m delighted at this as it means I don’t need to throw the older parts away.
I tried a portion of chips first, just one, large, peeled baking potato cut into thinnish fries. Selected the chips program and it offered 31 mins. Pressed the start button. Off it went and 31 mins later stopped the motor plus sounded an alarm.
Embarassed to say, I didn’t realize the lid could be removed for dishwashing on the old one. Which was a major reason in replacing it with the new. But now Im aware how to do it and as the old one is still working I need to find room for 2 of them 🙂
Good produc
Good product but lower rating as like all items like this they are not that easy to clean but OK
Best homemade chips ever!!
This was a family christmas present and we used it for the first time today. The homemade chips were cooked to perfection. We are very happy with this health fryer it’s definitely the best one we’ve ever had. You won’t be disappointed x
Quicker than my last Actifry
Updated mainly because of the newer digital and programmable controls…but it turns out that its a lot quicker and with the second tray will do a lot more ….a whole meal. Bonus is that my son in law loves the old one for his chips!
Already getting a lot more use that I imagined
Easy to use, cooks great chips and roast potatoes. App not great but certainly inspires you to try lots of things we didn’t realise you could cook in an air-fryer, and all with much less fat than you would use if cooking it conventionally. Very happy.
Raw to ready in 30 mi
Not my first rodeo with air fryers, but first one with one this good! I had potatoes from raw to perfection, and I mean perfection – crisp from outside yet soft and fluffy and thoroughly cooked, and all in only 28-30 minutes. Cooking some sausages and chicken – easy! Love it to bits
Temp control is difficult to work ou
It cooks really well and very quick but you need to be a genius to work out how to use it.
My previous model was the 2in1 xl and that was so easy in comparison but fingers crossed it will get easier to use the more I use it.
Also seem to get a lot more mess around the top even with the guard on. Sometime the lid will not close and I have to slam it to get it to stay pu
Simply the best Air Frye
Does what it says on the tin…
The best Air Fryer by far 10/10
Not easy to understand instructions
Looks good and what i wanted. The instructions are hard to understand for an elderly person. Also the paddle broke on the 2nd day and I am having a job to get it replaced. I even bought a genuine one from Amazon, which I have just returned as it did not fit. I have now got a new paddle and the Fryer works perfectly..upgrade to 5 stars. *****
Amazing Chips!
Provides an excellent and healthier alternative to ordinary frying – my entire family loves eating sausages, burgers, steak, hash browns and chips cooked on our new actifryer!

Best Christmas gif
I bought this for my sister as I already have one and always recommend it to my relatives. Very easy to use and healthy meals prepared in no time.
actifry
I think this is an excellent product, but as I normally only use it for 1 person, I am 87 years old, and the
instruction booklet does not fully explain how to put it on manual.
Interesting and efficie
This is all new to me! Do I need it? Not necessarily. However, it is a novel and clever way to prepare a meal and, I have to say, it does exactly what it promises to. The crisp nature of the food prepared is most impressive. I’m still learning about its use, but it’s a very good start.
Just what was needed
This was just what we needed every thing works as required
Does what I expected it to do a bit pricey though
Very good easy to use and clean cannot fault it so fa
Love Actifry
This is my second Actifry, my first one lasted about 4 years of very regular use (2-3 times a week). Opted for this one because of the snack basket and the improved timer which does actually stop the cooking process at its conclusion. The old one just kept going.
This one is much quieter too.
The only issues I have are really with the quality. The pan doesn’t feel as substantial as the original one and the handle feels like it isn’t that strong either.
cooks so well
I have used actifry air fryers for several years . so versatile . the paddle moves the food to cook it evenly .
