sorted bySo cheap that I may buy another that has more bells and whistles if a sutiable bargain turns up during the Black Friday sales.
Thanks OP
1) They cannot compare to a deep fryer. They make 'reasonable' chips, ideally you need to source part-fried chips with a higher fat content. Never had any joy getting an edible garlic mushroom out of the air fryer.
From memory the 'homestyle' chips gave decent results. I used to occasionally fry stuff in the wok as needed, alongside using the air-fryer... ultimately I went back to a deep fat fryer, one of those fancy ones with built in filtration.
2) I actually found one of the better uses for mine was as a high-speed pastry cooker. Probably as the high airflow design is more similar to a professional oven than a normal household fan oven. Meat bakes, croissants, that kind of thing. Much smaller capacity though so only cost effective if you want to cook one or two compared to putting 4 or more in a normal sized oven.
3) I'm not convinced by the long term savings of air-fryers, or the economics of spending money in the hope of saving money on bills. I'm sure a lot of the hype is built up by paid for marketing/affiliation. (edited)
If your into oven chips they're great, if you want proper chips then stick with your fryer
Its fine for chips, fish fingers, nuggets, battered fish etc (for the kids). Also use it to poach fish fillets in foil for myself and the Mrs.
Very quick but still cooks the food through. Only issue is you have to lower the temperature (from instructions on food) or it burns outside before cooking inside through properly. From what I’ve seen/read this is typical of most air fryers.
If i want to cook something more delicately (I.e not battered and/or don’t want it crispy on the outside) I just use our oven. But that’s not a fair comparrison as the oven is top end AEG which retails at over £1k. For everything else I’m happy to use the air fryer now. Also very easy to clean as basket/tray is non stick.
I want to buy some silicon liners (recommendations, anyone?)
I too would appreciate recommendations - thanks in anticipation!
It only has a single light that glows orange when it's heating and goes off when it's ready.
On page 6 of the user manual, however, it says:
"...The fan will start working and BOTH pilot lights on the body of the fryer will come on."
Also, on the diagram on page 2 item 6 says, "Indiator lights (power on/ready)"
Has anyone got two lights or is the single orange one the norm?
Thanks (edited)

This is why i don't bother with Argos and haven't for years. Their "deals" are non-existent.
can see myself using nothing but this and the slow cooker
Just ordered one for collection on Sunday at my local Sainsbury's. Don't know why this was just expired - there were several different collection options showing for me (NW London).
