TutuTallulah Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I have previously had a Tefal Actifry machine for a couple of years and loved it. However, after just over a year the clips on the lid broke and a replacement was £25 plus delivery. So i got round it by putting a 2 lb weight from my old fashioned scales on top to keep it shut. A couple of weeks ago it died a death when it blew up ( blue flash and nasty melted plastic smell ) A new Actifry is now around £200 which I really begrudge when it had quite a short life. Amazon have the new Philips Airfryer for £128 at the moment which seems similar to the Actifry and I also like that the food isnt continually stirred so wont break up. Anyone got one? Opinions greatly valued! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 You can get Actify for MUCH less than £200 LINKY THINGY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TutuTallulah Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Wow! Thanks Cinnamon! At that price I think it's quite a bargain - a similar price to what I originally paid. However OH says that anything that is potentially useless within 2 years is NOT a bargain... Will hang on and see if anyone has an opinion on the Airfryer before I rush out and replace.

squiffs Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 My Nana's deep fat fryer has broken and she misses making homemade chips, so we were considering buying her one of these - the price was a bit shocking, and now you've mentioned it goes kaput very quickly, I will be doing more research on an Airfryer instead!

abwsco Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I'd contact Tefal about it as you'd expect it to last longer than two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
