 Very good January 3, 2008

Well I bought one. 99 from Costco. Have to say, the 'real, fresh' chips are excellent, never believed they could be so different. I did enough chips for just myself, and the portion took 25 minutes to cook. Having been used to a deep fat fryer for years and years it was a bit of a gamble, but so far, very happy. They do take longer to cook, but reports of noise, sorry, have to disagree, The timer noise level is OK when it activates, but be warned, it doesn't stop cooking when the timer makes it's beep. The unit gets hot, (I told the wife not to touch the lid after she had laid hands on it!)Very easy to clean. Let's see how reliable it is. The unit is rated at 1400w, my old fryer was rated at 2100w, so it is using less electric, but needs to run for longer. I guess the real benefit is with the healthy way the food is cooked and the very small amount of oil used. Recommended.
Great new product - one of a kind December 27, 2007

I have just received one of these for Christmas (well my husband was desperate to try it so he gave it me a few days before!). They are brilliant - better than expected. Just chop your potatoes up, add a little oil and away you go. Having previously used oven chips, these are far better. No nasty smells and really easy to clean! br /So far I have done chips, wedges and baby roast potatoes - all fab. Not tried the meat or dessert dishes you can do yet - but going to have a go. br /As previous reviews have said they are rather big and the timer is a bit redundant, apart from that buy one! br /We saw them on the Gadget Shop shopping tv channel and were hooked. Bought one for 112 delivered - so shop around!
A great cooker with a slight design flaw December 24, 2007

Everything that people have said is true. The Actifry really does what it says. Great for chips (I also use it to dry the chips) and I've made some of the recipes included with success. The timer is not only quiet the Actifry doesn't stop when the time is up. Better to use a kitchen timer. However, one of the clips holding the central portion to the base has just broken off and it seems to me this is very likely to happen to others. Possible one could get away with not removing this central part for cleaning. I will return the machine after Christmas and get another but I do think this will happen again. br /SEE my comment on how the design has changed. br /Dave

I had excelent results with my Actifry, would like to know if there is a recipe book [apart from the one sent with the machine]that i could purchase seperately?
Real chips again December 20, 2007

Like a couple of the other reviewers I haven't deep-fried a chip for years because of the smell and mess of a traditional deep fat fryer, never mind the dangers of the old style chip pan. br / br /I actually first found out about this product by watching the Gadget Show and was blown away by the idea. First thing I did was check out the Internet for reviews and much to my surprise it seemed like the real deal. If it's getting praise on the Delia Smith forums you know you're onto a winner. br / br /I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and it's been a joy. So far I've done wedges, chunky cut unpeeled chips and skinnier peeled chips. The chunky unpeeled chips were my favourite - delicious with garlic and herb dip. The trouble with wedges being that they have too many points and edges which with the constant tumbling leads to "chipping" as they crisp. I've also used it to cook Aunt Bessies frozen chips and it does a far better job than the oven and only takes about 25 minutes. Don't add extra oil when doing frozen chips! br / br /I haven't tried anything exotic meatwise, just some thin sausages. Throw them in at the same time as skinny chips or a little later with chunkier ones. Top it off with some onion at 15 mins to go and mushrooms for the last five minutes. Straight to the plate and slap a fried egg on top. Bliss. br / br /On the bad side it is pretty noisy and takes up about a foot by a foot and half of bench space but it's so easy to keep clean I just stow it in it's box on top of the cupboard when I'm not using it. And because there aren't a couple of pints of boiling oil being used I'm confident enough to just set it tumbling and go and watch TV/read a book/work on my opera while it does its stuff. br / br /This is the first kitchen gadget I've bought for ages that's actually exceeded my expectations.
