    My sons introduced me to the air fryer concept. It’s very good, clean up is easy and uses a lot less power than traditional oven cooking.

    This is actually the third Air fryer I have bought, the first for myself, my stepdaughter and now one for my mum. Easy to use and clean but best of all cook’s food fast with little extra fat.

    I have been cooking none stop since I got it. It cooks everything pretty well and fast.
    Materials are good and sturdy.
    I does take space but it is totally worth it.

    Tefal Airfryers have a great reputation – and it was this reputation that attracted me to this model, and I’m glad to say it upholds this reputation. Easy to use, easy to clean, produces excellent food and takes up a small amount of space.

    I brought one of these after my sister recommended it, it’s very easy to use , to clean and most importantly it makes your food even more tasty and healthy. I have not used my oven since I brought this and once you get going you will not look back!

    Simple to operate with program settings. It is on the tall side though. Compared to my last air fryer it’s significantly quieter and much easier to clean.

    You must physically stir the contents during cooking. I bought this to replace my old Tefal original which had a rotating paddle feature to give all round cooking. This model, which is half the price need the chef to stir the food. That apart it’s up for the job.

    I love this airfryer. However, I wish I’d bought the bigger one. I was trying to save counter space and it is a great size, if you just want chips. But if you want to do anything more get the bigger one.

    Love this to bits, great at quick no nonsense cooking. I cook chips mostly, and put in a sausage, or fish or even lamb steaklets. It cooks them all. I don’t bother with the presets on top, I just press cook and every 5 minutes give it a shake to turn the chips and turn anything else its cooking at the time with some tongs. Usually ready in 15 minutes!

    I bought this thinking it wold make my oven chips taste like fried chips but it didn’t. However, they do cook in half the time and end up more crispy. It’s a good size for 2 people at a time. I’ve even tried a roast beef joint in it and that came out well. Cooks sausage and chips in 15 minutes – perfect for when you’re short on time or really hungry! And cooks the crispiest bacon – although thicker cuts are better. Shrinks steraky bacon to half the size but does make it super crispy.

    I have had it a month It’s much bigger than my last one and easily does 4 portions of chips probably even 6 if I needed it to .
    Il update this if there’s anything else to say over the next 6 months . But so far everyone is very happy with it and I never add oil .

    GAME CHANGER, use this every day, can cook so much in it, meats, fish, veg, and it’s more efficient and quicker than using the oven. It’s healthier too with oil/fat dripping down into a compartment. Easy to clean, stick it all into the dishwasher. Buy an air frier, you won’t regret it!

    it is easy to use and to clean. it is a wonderful addition to my cooking tools. the fact that i use little or no cooking oil when using this product is a big Plus from me. but I dislike that i have to keep bringing out the food and shaking it around to prevent it burning on one side and also i found that when i cook my plantain in it i do not get the plantain flavour i would usually get if i had fried in on the frying pan.
    but all in all it still gets a 99% from me.

    Overall very pleased with the item, but agree with some of the other write ups that the display is a bit difficult to read, and yes I have removed the protective plastic cover! Makes good chips, yet to experiment with other types of food. Would have been nice to have a more concise instruction book and maybe some simple recipes, but having said that I am pleased with the item and it represents good value for money.

    My wife and I love this bit of kit! So easy to not have to mess around with our conventional oven and the grill. Just be mindful to practice using this for a while. Set times slightly less and the temp slightly less or vice versa…it is very efficient and so easy to burn stuff if you treat it like a normal oven/grill.

    E.g. Say frozen chips say to cook at 180 degrees for 25 minutes…we would first try 180 degrees for 18 minutes etc!

    after my last air fryer died, I to live without one and it is impossible. My first one was Tefal and it lasted years, but was very big. The next one was not Tefal and only lasted a couple of years, but was a better size. so have gone back to Tefal and a smaller taller version. fits in the my small kitchen really well. and has so far cooked everything really well. it is also very easy to clean, so really pleased with my purchase.

    Looked at various air fryers. After finding this one and viewed various reviews I purchased this one. Found it easy to use and most importantly easy to clean. Follow instructions for various recipes and you can’t go wrong. It is a bit bulky but that is an advantage for putting in a reasonable amount of food in to cook.

    We had an opportunity to try an air fryer and found it very simple to fry chips and fish among other things. It is great because it does not generate a lot of fat fumes (which always make me cough), no grease on the cupboards and easy to use.

    Because it uses hot air, it is very clean and the none stick basket is easy to clean after use. We like the touch screen on the top to select the menu, with facilities to change time and temperature. Great for ALL our frying needs with minimal mess!

    Very disappointed by this. Chips are terrible, I’ve gone back to my old fryer, muffins no good. Onion rings not the same.
    I’ve looked at YouTube recipes and online.
    Probably won’t use again.

    Hi, I used to work in Lakeland in Windermere which has very high standard s and also have had an air fryer which I purchased on reviews. So I’m very happy to recommend this air fryer as, it’s sleak, cooks faster than my previous one, easier to clean and the food comes out crisp and we’ll cooked. I don’t review unless it’s worth my time. Enjoy

    Easy to use, it is big and difficult to clean in a small sink, but after these amazing chicken wings I dont really mind! Take a fair but of space on the counter. It’s the 1st airfryer I’ve had and I am definitely glad I purchased. It’s quite non stick so easy enough to clean.

    Not as good as the larger versions with an inner paddle. Difficult to ensure a full serving are all cooked through as tricky to shake evenly

    Not cleaned as of yet. First portion of “test” chips. Easy instructions. It is quite loud. Timer, beeps when finished. Blooming chips, hot & crispy.

    I got this from Amazon warehouse. Fantastic deal. Very pleased and will try other foods etc but so far very happy with purchase, packaging & delivery

    Easy to use!

    We previously had a Von Haus air fryer. The air frying concept is great! But this model did not have proper non-stick coating so was hard to clean and the non-stick coating was starting to come off. The fan motor also was sounding like it’s going to die!

    The Tefal is built a lot better and proper non stick coating – not surprising as it is Tefal!

    It is easier to use than previous air fryer. This one is more impressive than last : )

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersReally happy with my air fryer! Always get the biggest one you can afford – I think mine is a 4.8litre one and it’s perfect for the two of us, can cook a full basket of chips or a whole pack of salmon/chicken etc. Tefal is a good brand and it is so easy to clean, makes using it more frequently a no-brainer!

    Easy to use, easy to clean!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersBefore, I always hesitated on whether I should get an air fryer because the price was quite high for something that is only replacing a traditional fryer however I’m really glad I got this as it can do so much more than just make chips. With this I can just throw in some marinated chicken wings/drumstick or pork belly and in 25-30 minutes it’ll be done. Using an oven you would have to mess around with pre-heating it and then the cooking time would also be over an hour which seems like so much of a hassle now. I have also made potato pancakes and roasted peanuts in it, and there are so many air fryer recipes online.

    Now for the down side, I feel that there is 3 minor inconveniences. First, the crevices on the side of the cooking tray can be a bit difficult to clean sometimes, but I now just line the bottom with parchment paper or foil for easy cleaning and less mess. Secondly, the heat is coming from the top of the air fryer, so you will need to flip the food or shake the pan at appropriate intervals to ensure even browning and good colour on both sides. Thirdly, if you are cooking a large batch of food its inconvenient to use this, as the tray is small so you will have to do several rounds of cooking. You cannot just layer the food as the heat comes from the top so anything at the bottom won’t cook.

    I would recommend this to people who live alone or have small families because one of its biggest selling point for me is how efficient it is compared to using an oven or fryer, but it loses this if you need to make a lot of food at one time. Overall, its a really handy kitchen appliance to have and is also better for your health because you’re eating less oil.

    We haven’t used it for much yet but it is excellent for frozen chips. Faster than the oven and cooks evenly as long as you give them a good shake every few minutes. More often than half way through is essential. Cooking for a bit longer than the programmed 15 minutes is better.
    Very quick to clean. Cooking whole chickens and other food is yet to be tried.

    Golden Review Award: 85 From Our UsersWe’ve had our last air fryer, a Philips 9220, for about 8 years and it was getting a little small now our family has grown so I bought this Tefal XL on a daily deal for 69.99 in the hunt for a bigger cooking area. It’s working really well, I’ve included some side by side photos to help visualise it because I wasn’t sure if it would fit under our kitchen counter with the biggest basket, however the unit manages to fit a much larger basket in a very similar volume, and it’s short enough that the top mounted buttons are still fully accessible. There’s a few odd quirks that will take some getting used to, the max fill line is not naturally placed opposite the handle for easy viewing, but is awkwardly placed on the rear of the handle position, it’s a strange decision, it would be so much easier to read if it was on the far side of the basket. Secondly, unlike our Philips model the basket here is not removable, and if you try to use it to tip the contents onto a plate when pouring chips the nthe raised bed has a tendency to drop. You definitely couldn’t even try to pour out anything that would have dripped fat, because the fat would run over your plate – this is going to take some getting used and is less convenient than having a separate basket, which was a superior decision decision. The heating element is a similarly rating to the Philips but seems to cook quicker, maybe the fan speed is different or there element is just better with less wear (I didn’t realise how disgusting our old fan assembly was until I took these photos – sorry!). The quality of the non stick seems fantastic, I’ve included a picture showing some fish fingers and potato shapes in the basket, cooked, and then immediately having lifted them out – on the wire basket the fish fingers would normally have stuck and lost some coating but on this one they lifted off neatly. Quite pleased with the value so far. We’ve not tested the claim to be able to roast a full chicken yet, but we definitely will do soon.

    Some odd design decisions but great for a much larger basket.

    This is our second airfryer after our 4 years old actifry gave up. Airfryer has becomes the most important gadget in our kitchen, getting used once or twice every day. The ability to control then temperature on the newer models including the Easy Fry is fantastic as we can now use it for baking too. This model also seem to be quicker than our old one, perhaps due do the air circulation. Highly recommended.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersAlmost a month ago I bought this air fryer and I am using almost every day, more than once.
    I love:
    – how easy to use
    – how quick I can make my (healthy)food
    – how easy to clean
    – the flavour of my food – not exactly the same than a deep fried but good enough for me

    and there is one more thing. I am on a diet plan but still I have a feeling when I am eating my food: “oh yes I am bing eating ” and this is satisfy my mind enough to not crave for “junk” food

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis is my first air fryer and I am just loving it. The food is so light and yet retains its flavour. I don’t think I will be going back to having oil fried food too much. My kids love it too and they couldn’t tell the difference. The fryer is very easy to use and the recipe app is absolutely fab and easy to follow. The only downside I have noticed is that it is not that easy to clean especially if you put marinade chicken in, but still you get around it eventually. Will update my review if there is any change!

    Golden Review Award: 40 From Our UsersI had headache reading through numerous reviews, I brought this to reduce the need to deep-frying while at home in the COVID crisis. I am completely happy. We are a family of 5 and 1 toddler. And it works out perfectly. The display is bright and easy to read. It fits a whole chicken. A decent amount of chips or wedges (700-800grams) and it can even be used to do shortbread biscuits. According to British Gas, it’s 26p per hour on electricity based on a 50min cook on a whole chicken. Note if doing whole chicken start upside down for 30mins and 20-30mins on the other side. Came out soft inside (juicy) cooked and a nice crisp on the outside. I basted a bbq glaze and did a further 3 mins to caramelize.

    I would have liked to go for the stainless steel version if I upgraded but so far so good. There are plenty of cooking ideas online, YouTube, etc so you can get creative. Also, chips and wedges were evenly cooked (I set an alarm on it for 5mins) so I could shake it.

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersSince we got it we haven’t used a pan to fry!! Kids have not noticed the difference of those potato crisps and the deep-fried ones.
    It creates healthier meals. You do not need to use much (or any) oil in these appliances to get your food crispy and browned! Quicker, More Efficient Cooking. It takes just minutes to preheat, and most of the heat stays inside the appliance. That makes the food ready super quickly !!

    Great tool in the kitche

    Very happy with this purchase. Had it for 3 months and waited before writing a review.

    1. People have complained the LCD is difficult to read. I have never had ANY issues reading the display. Ever. Those who do may wish to see an optician.

    2. Very easy to clean. Damp cloth for the drawer, the grill comes out and can be fully washed in the sink. Not sure about dishwasher.

    3. Toss your chips every 5 minutes to ensure they’re even.

And the chips are tasty even though you only use small amount of oil . The best part is the cleaning – very easy just take the little tray out and wash it in the sink. Another thing i like about it is it doesn’t make your kitchen smell like a fry for weeks when you use this like it would normally if you make your fry on the pan . Overall it’s a very handy thing and I will definitely recommend

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI was looking of a healthier way of basically cooking chips (French Fries) without using a load of oil, so thought that I would give it a try. The results are excellent, with easy to follow instructions, with the machine being pre-programmed on how to cook a variety of foods. In time, I really wand to be more adventurous in what I cook, and this product seems to tick all of the right boxes. Although a bit bigger than I had anticipated (as I live on my own), I am sure that this product will serve me well in the times to come. Clear digital displays, and clearly identified controls, make this easy to use, and there are lots of videos online, should I have any problems. Would definately recommend.

This air fryer has replaced all my past needs, with food i can enjoy knowing that its more healthy now. I especially enjoy making my golden, crispy samosas in it. The timer and temperature system is a joy to use. It has a pleasant notification sound once food is ready. The safety system is great also in that it automatically stops if you open the fryer. In terms of cleaning, it couldn’t get easier. I just place it in my dish washer every now and then. Highly recommended product.

I use it mainly for roast potatoes, wedges and chips – which are crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy inside. Perfect size for a large family. My only criticism is the finish of the design around the joints – could be sleeker. Having said that, it does look good. I do place it on a heat resistant surface as I read that it heats up, however it doesn’t get too hot imo. Easy push control system with blue LED light. Highly recommended. Great buy.

    Golden Review Award: 45 From Our UsersWe had been looking at these for a while. We decided to go for the Tefal one for quality brand, easy of use and capacity. It is a great air fryer, easy to use and to keep clean. We mainly use it for chips which come out really nice with no preheating so it works out faster and more economical than using the oven (if you’re just doing the chips). If you are using the oven then this can give you extra cooking capacity if the oven is full. Chips cook in 15 minutes, chunkier home made chips can take a bit longer. Some times we coat home made chips in Nandos Peri Peri salt before cooking and the kids love them. Hash browns come out nice too in 15 minutes. It is a large appliance but we store ours in the utility room so it doesn’t take up lots of room on the kitchen side. We would highly recommend it.
