I've just been reading about this one on Which, but unfortunately the Watchdog completely slated it for being unsafe.. Pitty that.

I have had mine for about 18 months and not had any problems, I did watch the watchdog programme about the actifry, some were catching fire :eek: However I love mine, it leaves no smells, easy to clean and uses a small amount of oil.

I'm with your OH, I think they stink to high heaven. There is a person down the road who has one and we can smell it outside their house - gross!

Ex husband has a deep fat fryer. Every time the lads come back from his I can smell it on them :eek: and tell them to get in the shower immediately

Same here!! I absolutely hate the smell!! I won't have a frier in the house for that reason. My son thinks I'm a meanie cos he loves homemade fried chips :rolleyes:

They totally stink I found, and like someone else posted, I just gained loads of weight cos the chips were too tempting

I'd just like to add, we now make homemade chips in the oven with one teaspoon of oil, they are yummy and very healthy

I love one but would end up like 10 ton tessie within a few months if I got one:rotfl::o

A colleague of mine keeps her fryer in the garage. So if her husband wants chips she goes and does them out there. She doesn't like the smell of chips either.

I held out for 6 years as OH was always winging on about having a fat fryer so he could have chips like momma used to make.

Gave in and got an electric fryer that claimed all the world, no smells etc, I hate it, chips are ok, but don't care if it has a lid with a supa dupa filter, it still stinks the house out.

I do meal plans now and chips only appear once a month:D

I have a deep fat fryer (semi-professional one) and use it under the extractor fan to keep smells at bay whilst cooking. I keep it in the cupboard (it comes with a metal lid) and you absolutely cannot smell it once it's cooled down and not being used.
