Yes I use one, last night actually to make the chips to go with my steak. I love it. you can use fry light but I do find I get better, crispier results if I use a tiny bit of veg oil. The measure you use is a tablespoon and that is supposed to be how much you use but I only ever use about a third of the measuring spoon and I count it as syns. Works out as hardly anything when divided up between the three of us.
There are cheaper options available and I've heard that Aldi (I think or maybe Lidl) has an air fryer on sale from tomorrow. It's on their website if you want to have a look.
I'd say go for it. I think the chips are nicer than when done in the oven. I do parsnip, sweet potato and carrot chips sometimes too for a change from ordinary spuds.

Yay good for you you will have wedges or chips with everything like me now I do make other things Well I'm pregnant I have cravings for hash brown every day with beans so I do them in there hash browns not beans lol they are nice I find it doesn't dry out. I have got potato cubes in there at the moment I mixed them with garlic and herbs loads of fry light. I part boiled mine cos I made wedges first and just put them in with fry light and they was nice but when I did chips they wasn't as good so i part boil them now but it could be the potato. I have done a breakfast in the sausage bacon mushrooms not egg. I've also roasted peppers tomato and onions for my red pepper and tomato soup. I love it sooooo much. I need a life lol X

Hi, these are ok but nothing like the air fryer. they are basically a halogen oven with hot air. so they cook things at higher heat but way faster. rather than the fried taste x

Love my Actifry, I recently upgraded from the Breville Halo. I noticed there is an app you can download with lots of recipes for starters, main course and even desserts available through the app store.
