Oh heck, I'm not so sure now - these have been reported as a potential fire risk - have a look at the discussion forum at the bottom of the page

We've had ours for nearly a year now. The chips don't taste like pub chips but often better in my opinion. When we first had it I wasnt as keen as they seemed to have a " hot air" taste to them but they are fine now. We leave the skin on the potatoes toonand this makes them really tasty. We also do roast potatoes in them which not only frees up oven space but it's cleaner, easier and healthier too.
Regarding the fire risks i too was put off for about a year but the issues with the machines catching fire seems to have been with the very first ones. I can't say i've seen a problem with one catching fire in the past couple of years.

The story about them catching fire is nearly 3 years old.

The regular actifry cooks up to 1 kg of raw chips, I usually cook 750g raw unpeeled potatoes for 2 adults and 1 child, so it depends what ages your family are.

was just about to click and buy then thought I would read some reviews, seems absolutely loads of people are having problems with the lids breaking, now I think I will have to keep my money for now. Shame as I love the idea of cooking and eating home made chips again !

Even so....I couldn't find anything from Tefal stating the problem had been rectified.

had one, went up in smoke and flames, no refund, wouldnt touch tefal with a bargepole - hope your house insurance is up to date and smoke alarms are working

If you get one of these, from Amazon or anywhere else, what's to say they don't still have the earlier Actifry ones in stock, so that's what they are sending out to you? Much as I would love one of these, I'm too worried about the risks involved and a lot of people I speak to have the same concerns.
