"arrived well packaged was impressed how well made it looked have only used 3 times but fried chips and fish balls great the oiled droned into the tank enabling you to clean any dregs left"

"it got some bad reviews due to its knack of randomly emptying oil out of the frying tank"

"it got some bad reviews due to its knack of randomly emptying oil out of the frying tank"

"and it is the only model with an oil filter and drain facility"

"do not use poor quality oil a good blended oil for use in fryers is a must to get the most life from the oil"

"has anyone else had this problem?"

"and it is the only model with an oil filter and drain facility"

"it got some bad reviews due to its knack of randomly emptying oil out of the frying tank"

"it won’t happen again!"

"the crispness doesnt last as long as oil fried so make the chips last of all when making a meal but the taste is very close to conventional fried chips but not greasy and not dry like oven chips so this device gets my vote"

"very poor takes forever to even cook the smallest portion of chips they over cook on one side and remain uncooked on the other side"

"apart from size and ability for the princess to cook larger amounts both fryers are very similar in terms of control cooking times pretty poor instruction and recipe books and ablity to produce lower calorie fat content foods"

"the biggest disappointment was that they didn't cook evenly some were very well done almost border line burnt whilst others were still raw despite a good half hour cooking yes we cooked a full basket for four of us but the fryer says you can do"

"also the whole thing is quite noisy when it is working full tilt"

"noise this is a noisy air fryer"

"it may be because it is big but it is a noisy appliance even allowing for size 3"

"the only downside is that the provided instructions are extremely misleading and very scant"

"you just set the time for about 18 minutes and shake the basket while in the pan halfway through then when cooked remove basket using the quick release button otherwise and oil residue in pan would get tipped out too and put onto your plates"

"the main criticisms i have if this is that the draw to it is rather stiff and a bit of an effort to get in and out when it is full"

"chips on the night were disappointing though we literally went fat free as no instructions in the box and the chips were more jacket potato in chip shapes not unpleasant but not like a chip either"

"i have to say at this point i have never fried a chip in my life and we don't eat much fried food so wasn't sure how useful it would be but as my son pointed out it's like a mini oven so can be used for baking etc too so he encouraged me to be open minded!"

"this unit has a lot more cooking power and when i go back to my original branded airfryer it seems sluggish and slow by comparison and it smokes during cooking a lot more than this one "

"but for a novice there is some experimentation needed in lieu of instructions and this could lead to mixed results!"

"the second attempt we sprayed with some 1 cal fry oil like i'd do if making oven chips in the oven but again we found they cooked unevenly even though we turned them half way through"

"we have just returned our cheap 'tower' air fryer as within months the coating had come away and it was going rusty"

"yes it is a large fryer and billed as a family fryer with a 5"

"that is really my only negative so far"

"just to realise that there are no instructions how to take the cooking pan out a very fiddly button that actually is not to be pressed when you want to pull the pan out of the machine but only when already out and you need to release the pan from the support where the juices drain into"

"removing the basket from the drawer needs the button on the handle to be pushed down in order to release the locking mechanism"

"the crispness doesnt last as long as oil fried so make the chips last of all when making a meal but the taste is very close to conventional fried chips but not greasy and not dry like oven chips so this device gets my vote"

"second i dont know if they all do but mine had only a very basic use leaflet no real guidance on use so a lot of it was trial and error for example i cooked oven chips in it and they cremated within 15 minutes 8 minutes seemed about the right time but then making mini roast potatoes they took about the same time as doing them in the oven"

"the only downside is that the provided instructions are extremely misleading and very scant"

"so if you have room and do a lot of oven cooking i would massively recommend it but unless it typically comes with a guide recipe book you might need to spend some time on google to figure out how best to use it!"

"the only downside is the drawer is a little tuff to pull out but it is getting easier over time"

"the device was easy to use after unpacking and discarding card and plastic wrapping by giving its basket and pan and cake tin for good measure in case i forget later a wash in warm soapy water and drying"

"i love mine pity the non stick coating comes off"

"i am not a fan of the earlier clockwork timers on early models but nor am i a fan of the type of touch sensitive controls but i sense that the control panel on this item might start to play up over time too"

"i only recieved this yesterday wasnt suppose to arrive until tuesday!"

"it is a big bulky ugly looking thing and i returned it"

"don't know why i didn't get one years ago so good got one for inlaws cooks steak really well sausages from frozen brill roast pots and chips go for it you won't regret"

"defective draw and made of cheap plastic would not buy again has not got none slip feet you have to hold the air fryer to get the draw back in not good at all"

"i used a 6oz flour sugar flour and 3 egg mix plus coconut and was pleased with the result but next time i will try an 8oz mix just to make a bigger rise"

"this is provided with almost nothing although it has far more functions and is much more complex"

"even on first use after washing down the elements with soapy water there was no metallic or plastic taste which people have reported with other models"

"another major lack of information provided was the timings and temperatures that you need to use"

"the device is used by pre warning it to 80 c using the power then the mode button then reduce temp using left hand down button"

"the main criticisms i have if this is that the draw to it is rather stiff and a bit of an effort to get in and out when it is full"

"just to realise that there are no instructions how to take the cooking pan out a very fiddly button that actually is not to be pressed when you want to pull the pan out of the machine but only when already out and you need to release the pan from the support where the juices drain into"

"it was ok for a few months but now when removing the drawer to shake the basket the draw just falls off onto the floor"

"the one thing it lacks is instructions!"

"second i dont know if they all do but mine had only a very basic use leaflet no real guidance on use so a lot of it was trial and error for example i cooked oven chips in it and they cremated within 15 minutes 8 minutes seemed about the right time but then making mini roast potatoes they took about the same time as doing them in the oven"

"2 litre capacity but the larger portions take longer cooking time and to be honest the external size is quite imposing it is big and that size isn't reflected in regards to the quantity it can cook quickly"

"keep in mind because you don't use lots of oil best to add the salt spices when on your plate as it doesn't stick to them and ends up on the bottom of the pan"

"defective draw and made of cheap plastic would not buy again has not got none slip feet you have to hold the air fryer to get the draw back in not good at all"

"as with seemingly all of the airfryers they state things like serves 5 people but i'd take that with a pinch of salt"

"i have cooked fish low fat sausages and something i have never done before is to bake a cake"

"this is giant sized"

"i pretty much tried a bunch of stuff and if it worked brilliant if not i ordered take away : whilst this is very good for me the size drives me a bit nutty because its so big"

"we are yet to try baking not bread but we understand it can do quiches and cakes but i haven't let the mary berry in me loose yet as visually appealing that seems to be!"

"5 cm high there is no room"

"there are seven different "food" buttons chicken steak chips etc all with a picture on them in case you can't read i suppose?"

"we have just returned our cheap 'tower' air fryer as within months the coating had come away and it was going rusty"

"it was ok for a few months but now when removing the drawer to shake the basket the draw just falls off onto the floor"
