Pros & Cons
Pros
Actifry fries are the best i've ever had, all the pleasure of french fries without the greasy and guilty feelings. The bunching makes it easy for the paddle to dump the slices back onto the floor of the unit so that they flip over and by doing this th... Read More
They turn out amazing. But it was patented so had no rivals. It is healthy. And it never disappoints.
Bought mine from goodwill complete and in very clean condition. Luckily, i have plenty of storage so it works for me.
It is an innovative product that will cook many different foods you would normally fry at hot temp. Best of all it has a temperature control so if you are not trying to get the deep fried look on unbreaded fish, you can turn the temp. A more expensive... Read More
If the pieces are small and need stirring the actifry is the way to go. It basically just stirs your french fries, vegetables, corn tortilla strips. For the truly lazy get a fuzzy logic rice cooker as well for when you are tired of potatoes. Oh a hint... Read More
Cons
The stirring arm manages to move the food around in one big clump. Food catches and smears on the rotator blade. The timer is a pain to use and when the timer ends it does not stop cooking.
The oil you will find on the fries once they are ready is virtually invisible. If the same thing the frier is advertised to accomplish can be done in a good non stick fry pan with much better results, no steam burning issues and using one tablespoon o... Read More
It is not unusual to find reviews of people having it exchanged or fixed twice during the one year warranty time. Off warranty no help from t-fal.
Plastic is highly toxic to our bodies and that's the reason these toxins cause cancer. It takes up a lot of space in the kitchen, its loud when its running, and it is not nearly as versatile as the cookbook included and advertisements suggest. But, it... Read More
There is timer on the unit but the machine won't turn off automatically when it beeps. Because the steam gets trapped on the inside and the outside skins over and browns to a (very dry)crisp.
Highlights
Quality
The actifry is extremely well made, so easy to clean, by hand, or in the dishwasher.
It is incredibly quick at cooking everything and is high quality in construction.
The heat thawed and softened them and the rotating arm then quickly tore them to shreds before they could re-firm up like traditional tots.
I then made potato chips in it and they tasted great, using only one potatoe, thinly sliced, rinsed several times,(removes star... Read More
Price
Great price - great for low fat diets - i bought 4
I am waiting for the cost of the actifry to go down so that i can give them as gifts to my family and buy an extra one for me s... Read More
No way would i pay $200 to make french fries and a few other items.
It is maybe a little expensive but it worth to its price because in each potato making time a save almost an hour.
Shipping
I first encountered this magical machine while living in france and was thrilled to see it available with our us electrical specs.
Competitiveness
For deep frying french fries it is a great alternative but has not had any competition until now.
You may have trouble finding all 3 offerings on amazon with "hot air fryer" but you will get at least one and further down the ... Read More
