Replacing our Airfryer

[skalexander]

We've had it 5 years and it's time to replace our Airfryer. It still works but is getting a bit manky. I'm not sure whether to replace with another Airfryer or try something else, as there is such a big market in health fryers now - Airfryer, Actifry, Halo to name but a few.

Can anyone make any recommendations? We use the Airfryer for potato products, jacket potatoes, fishcakes or breaded fish, chicken kievs, small pizzas, naan bread, burgers and my veggie food (falafels, burgers, crispbakes etc). However I know you can do so much more with some of them, so I'd be happy to broaden my horizon!

I have the actifry and it's really good - no problems. Did get the big one as we are a family of 4

Thanks, I think I'm torn between the Actifry and the Halo. The Airfryer has been fab but the cooking options seem to be broader with the Actifry and Halo.

Just bumping in case anyone else can help. I'm particularly interested in thoughts on the Halo.

Thanks

I done a bit of research as my Actifry is now cooking higher at one side than the other? The Phillips Airfryer seems to get much better reviews than the Actifry?

We have a halo - it is nowhere near as good at chips as the Actifry. We were getting through Actifrys every 10 months fir various reasons (used every day) so tried a Halo - when it dies we will be going back to actifry. Halo chips don't seem to turn as well, therefore the ones at the bottom are not brown or crispy unless you turn them manually every 5 minutes. Cooks sausages and bacon really well though.

I've had a Halo for about a month, not done much in it so far, but I do like it. Does lovely jacket potatoes and oven chips, excellent evenly cooked sausages.
I got mine from Tesco Direct for £60 which I thought was a good deal! I'm a bit stuck for recipes as I don't seem to be able to find any online.

My sister done me chips in her actifry and they were lovely, I think I need to add more oil in my Halo.

I have a Phillips air fryer, bought it from Tesco about 3 years ago and just recently had to replace the basket but got it direct from Phillips with a discount code so was a good price.

We use it most days and I wouldn't be without it! Makes like so much easier and helps when dieting aswell!

We got a phillips aifryer a couple of years ago and i havent been very imaginative for what i use it but its great for freezer chicken etc & i love that I dont have to turn the oven on for garlic bread now as when i do pasta on the hob i feel like im wasting heating the oven just for 5 minutes use! x

we have just bought an airfryer , I didn't realise I could do garlic bread in it . I really must look up more ways and things to cook with it .we bought it to replace our actifry which only lasted about a year , which didn't impress me!
