Fantastic
Great product, great price. Very happy with the purchase and it big enough to cook enough chips for a family of 4 in one go. Saved so much money in electricity as it’s cheaper to run than a cooker/oven and microwave. Easy to clean and saves tonnes of washing up after meals.
Cooks bacon really well too, can have it cooked as crispy as you like by just simply leaving it in longer.
I read all the reviews (like I always do) and everything has it’s good and bad points but so far I’ve owned this product for a month and it’s used daily, often twice a day for lunch and dinner. It’s perfect and so far their isn’t anything negative about it.
Highly recommend! It’ll change the way you cook for ever.
Great way to cook
Great product. Seriously tasty food produced in a more economic and quicker way. We have purchased silicone baskets to go inside as cleaning is not that easy without them. We were spending a fortune on aluminium foil!
Love i
Absolutely love this air frier. Its big enough for my meals. The partition is ingenious and the pre-set options is a great thing
So pleased with it ,cooks everything beautifully
I love it ,looks brilliant cooks brilliant and cleans like a dream
So convenient to use
Very happy with my purchase, easy to use and clean!
Best piece of kitchen equipment I've bought!!
It’s just a tiny fan oven but it’s just faster. If you like roasting stuff and cooking chips buy one!
My Breville Halo Air Fryer is the best thing ever that I have bought.
The first thing I tried was French fries and they came out absolutely delicious. I have used my fryer for fish, meat, vegetables chicken nuggets and much more. I don’t know why I left it so long, but now I’ve got it I would never be without it. It takes a lot less time than conventional cooking and it is so easy to clean when you have finished. I would recommend them to anyone who hasn’t got one.
First cook. Impressive
I cooked meatballs from frozen. It’s really good, this is healthy as oil drip into the base. I hope this will last forever. I give 5 star and I will take care of it as I take care my family…
Excelle
I have used this for Salmon, chicken, bacon and frozen fries and I am very impressed.
Excellent results
This air fryer is great. It can produce perfect results with chicken – crispy skin and tender meat.
It’s great for making homemade crispy sweet potato fries and normal chips
Quick operation, solid construction and perfect results.
Very impressive product that exceeds expectations and produces great results.
Great Air Frye
I bought this air fryer after seeing a friends in action, I was dubious at first, then I saw how quick and easy it is to use.
I think they are brilliant! Considerably quicker than using the oven, considerably better for you than using a regular fryer.
The size of this Breville is perfect for a family of 4. I would recommend you don’t buy smaller than this and the more room the better the food cooks.
OMG!
This is a game changer. Still learning but does amazing chips, home cut and frozen . Perfect size if you don’t want to put oven on ..love it !!
Great value for money
Easy to clean and use. Don’t know what we did without it, much much easier and tastier than using the oven or grill and less to clean.
Saves time and money
I recommend getting an air frier and so far(3 wks) I have no complaints.I had a small one but could only cook one portion at a time.In this one I can cook a whole chicken. It saves on electric and cooks quicker than an ordinary oven plus it’s healthier as little or no oil is needed
Very easy to use
I barely use my oven it’s so quick and easy to use and clea
I have been missing out.
All this time I could have had an air fryer and I haven’t. I feel like I have been missing out. I cooked chicken wings and drumsticks. So moist on the inside and crispy on the out side. Perfect. A brilliantputchase, I would definitely recommend getting one. I haven’t used my oven in weeks.
Versatile, fast and efficient!
Bought, primarily, to avoid bending to/from main gas oven and to avoid wasteful use of energy heating the whole oven for a couple of items.
But oh we love this product now!
It is fast (flavour and nutrional benefit is retained), very easy to use and clean, it saves us time and saves wasting energy AND it helps keep our bills down!
We can cook virtually anything in it – just read the instructions, choose a suitable container if needed (for more liquid dishes) or place food directly in non-stick basket, select the appropriate pre-sets or play around with manual settings and enjoy delicious meals. There are lots of recipes online.
So happy we bought this!
An replacement for my old Halo Hea
I do love this air fryer.
I have been using it nearly every day for the last month.
It’s not perfect but it is opening my options on cooking compared to my old Breville Halo Heat (which I wore out).
I’ve made cheese and egg Ramekins (Quiche without the flan part) 16 mins instead of the 30 mins baking time.
Potatoes wedges, fries onions rings are cooked in half the time. It’ll take a while to adjust the temps and times to get it right for your taste.
The biggest problem I found is if you put small light items on top e.g. salami sliced up, loose cheese, bacon slices as it gets blown about because of the fan that circulates the air, from basically a grill element with a fan above it.
If there are 3 things that I would suggest need changing, they are
1) Only increase the fan speed 1/2 way through the cooking time or supply something to hold the light toppings in place as they might have “stuck”.
2) The bleep to tell you it’s done is too quiet. Needs to be louder so it can be heard further away.
3) A place to put a plate to warm it when your cooking for 1 (which these are Ideal for). I just put it on the top so the hot air flow gets recirculated off the wall.
But then it just stopped working
Loved it for two years and as soon as the warranty was finished it just stopped working – lesson? Used to be a good product when it was made in Europe
An excellent air frye
If you want an air fryer, this does the job well. We have owned for 6 months now. We use this around 3 times a day, our normal oven hardly gets used now, preferring to use this to cook for the whole family. Have now purchased kettle and toaster from breville as brand is reliable.
useful and quick
I am well pleased with the air fryer. It arrived promptly and in good order. I have used it for chips a whole chicken and to roast mixed root veggies. All worked well and with a bit of experiment on flavour additions would be as good as oven prepared, but with easier cleaning and quicker outcome. There is a great deal of useful guidance on the internet.
graham
Delicious
Wanted one for a while. Glad I bought this one. So far I’ve done frozen chips, fresh chips, garlic bread, chicken pie and chocolate brownies. Can’t get over how tasty everything is. Should have got one sooner. A must for any kitche
Basket not best design.
Cooks things brilliant only drawback was how are you meant to open the basket when foods ready? Fiddly awkward clip.
Great buy
All round top performance great buy easy to use and clean would highly recommend
Brillia
Bought as a replacement for our Tefal Acti Fry and 100% prefer this produc
Brilliant frye
This was purchased to replace our old faithful unit that had finally given up. We use an air fryer most days, so the next day delivery was a real bonus. The unit itself is large and remarkably quiet. The divider is an additional extra that is a good idea, but in reality not really required. All in all, very happy.
Fantastic produc
It really works well and makes your chips crispy , even small spuds and veg . I love this makes your life so much easy and with large capacity too so easy to use.
Excellent buy
Fantastic product, easy to use… an idiot could use it. I know as I have 2 Teenaged son’s who find it a breeze 🙂 It has a huge drawer with a separator which isn’t really needed. You soon work out timings etc to how you like things cooked. I wish I had bought one before now, I was sceptical & worried it would be one of those things you buy, use for a week then forget about it but it has been in constant use. It would be ideal for students or young people moving out for the first time too without having the expense of buying a cooker immediately & really handy if your cooker goes on the blink as mine did a week after buying the air fryer…. saved a bomb on take aways & microwaved rubbish Highly recommended.
Using the Breville Air Frye
Bought this just over a month ago. Very pleased with the product.
When cooking any food, I would highly recommend spraying some cooking oil over it otherwise food may taste a bit dry and rubbery.
When cooking chips for example, I usually put them in a bowl, then add 1 table spoon of cooking oil and mix it.
Very easy to clean and maintain.
Brilliant size
Easy to use, easy to clean (I put a sheet of ton foil on the bottom), great size, big enough for a roast chicken. But feels slightly flimsy, I am wary it could break easily.
Good value for money
The size of the halo fryer is very good, as a family for four adults we were able to air fry a meal in a short time.
To clean you just have to life out the fryer and clean, it even has a divider if you needed to fry more than one item.
I can go on about it, I have really enjoyed the product.
The breville halo air fryer is great value for the money
Breville halo air fryer is great for the money it’s so easy to use and clean so if anyone else is thinking about buying one then just do it then you can see for yourselfs
Does exactly as advertised
Got this because I love rotisserie chicken, and had a dehydration function. All results so far over the Xmas period have been a dream!
Great produc
Easy to clean , got big family, dinners making every day quicker, make my live better, recommend
Best thing eve
It’s big enough for 4 people easy to clean & use ..food cooks excellent..bit trial error with timing
Looks good only came today
Only used it once but made chips and they were good
Speedy Process
Takes a little getting used to. Best so far is cooked dinner in around 40 mins. Chicken crown in 1st followed by Aunt Bessie’s roast pots 18mins from end. A recipe book is a must and be good to have a thermometer.
Very easy to use
It’s very easy to use, easy to clean and good value for your money
Perfect results
Managed to pick this up on Black Friday for almost 75% off which made it to difficult to resist. Glad I did, it’s amazing. Enough space in the basket to cook a whole joint of pork/beef/ or a whole chicken with ease and in half the time an oven takes. They all came out perfectly. Chips and Jacket potatoes come out perfectly, crispy skin but fluffy on the inside. I wouldn’t be with out this now, even though I originally wanted a Ninja, this has more than exceeded my expectations for my first air fryer!
Air frye
Replace old halogen with this new air fryer digital . It’s very easy to use . Cooks very well . Tends to cook much quicker than instruction on food products. Food tastes fantastic.
Great!
Many kitchen gadgets I have bought over the years are usually confined to a cupboard after a while. I can honestly say this will not be one of them.
Easy to use and really tasty results from chips to steaks and whole chickens. This machine is great!
Great Air frye
The air fryer is very easy to use and clean, with the different options for products it makes it very easy to proper some veggies to roast in no time so it saves a lot of time if you have to prep for a meal. Also really easy to clean once used. Would definitely recommend to have in the kitchen.
Love i
I love my Air fryer & have cooked all sorts of food in it from Chip, chicken nuggets all the way to pie’s, looking forward to trying a whole chicken when I get a chance.
Overall Happy But One Issue.
Ive owned this for some time now before leaving a review. Overall im fairly happy with the fryer its much healthier than a deep fat fryer etc and a lot cleaner in terms of the kitchen area. The only issue is there is times where it will just turn off and cancel the cooking program which is very annoying. So for example Chicken mode cooking at 200c for 22 mins it will shut off at 5 mins in. I have to program it again and guestimate how much time has passed i have found lowering the temp to 190c gives a slight improvement on this issue.
Lots of space & easy to clea
First i bought TEFAL ACTIFRY GENIUS XL 2IN1 very difficult to clean and use and enough space, this is best and half the money.
Brilliant bit of ki
This is our first jump into the Air Fryer market and having spoken with other people about the the size and functions of this are brilliant.
It is basically a small fan assisted oven, heats up really quickly and simple to use, so far everything we have cooked in it has come out really well.
Nice little feature as well when you open the drawer check the food and put it back in it just restarts, and you can alter the temp and time during cooking.
Surpassed expectations
Having been very disappointed by a previous air fryer I decided to try once more and I’m so glad I did!
Great taste, wedges/chips crispy on outside and fluffy on inside, meat cooked to perfection. Very easy to operate and clean.
***TIP***
Although it doesn’t state to preheat apart from first use, if you run for about 12 mins at 200* before putting food in to cook you will get perfectly cooked food
value
I bought it on Black Friday. Good price.
It’s easy to cook and clean up. Save more cooking time. I love it.
Good
I like this. Can do a good range of foods.. most of which I’m yet to try but from what I have used it for I’m happy.
The only downside I have found is that is very powerful, so if the packet on chicken nuggets says 200 for 18 mins.. I reduce both the time and temp.. otherwise they are quite hard and hard to eat..
Looks good in the kitchen and has a good capacity
Worth the ££££
I’ve been after an airfryer for ages, I’ve looked into all different makes/models/shapes and sizes on my quest to get what I thought would suit our family best. I eventually went for this breville model and got it for around 60 on offer, I wanted the security of a name brand but I know myself and if I’d have spent top on a ninja just for it to sit on the side I’d kick myself. So far I’ve made chicken breast, coated crispy chicken, hash browns, fries, home cooked wedges, warmed things like yorkies/pastries, cooked off paninis, roasted veg for a soup, pork chops, steak. I know everyone always says it but I genuinely barely use my oven now, it can take a while to get the timings right but aside from that it’s super easy to use. Smart looking, we don’t have spare cupboard space to this lives on the side no problem without looking out of place. I went for this model as it has a large square basket and with a bigger family that’s ideal! Easy to clean/maintai

Perfec
I think it’s really good value for money! As a veggie it cooks almost anything and everything veggie in a fraction of the time our oven as rarely been on! It’s easy to use easy to clean and has halved our cooking time the food is well made crispy and tasty really happy about i
Easy to use
The air fryer is very easy to use, I’ve used it almost everyday so far. It’s very easy to clean, though I have had to change the recommended temperature.
