Due to the many positive reviews we have the Actifry ordered at an affordable price from Amazon UK.
The UK version has logically a UK plug, so that even an additional plug adapter is needed to German system. In the UK version also the snack top is missing.
First test: fries from fresh potatoes (Predominantly waxy)
The fries are not really crisp in the specified time (42 minutes). Not bad but still not 100% convincing. Maybe it was the fact that we used no fries cutter, but "hands-free" have cut. Although they were golden brown at the edges but partly too dark, although we have previously washed abundantly, so that the strength to escape.
Second Test: crinkle cut fries from the discounter with the big A.
These TK fries are to instructions about 30-32 minutes to cook in the Actifry the perfect fries.
And that they do. I have rarely eaten such delicious fries. No difference in taste to baked in the frying fat fries for me was noticeable.
They are just like fries should be; outside crispy, golden yellow color and the inside a bit floury. Perfect.
If you consider that added a few drops of oil, and the fries then only about 130 calories and 1.2g fat have (per 100g) they are absolutely top.
Normal baked in the deep fryer fries, however, have to have values of 316 calories and 17g fat.
So a saving of 60% of calories and 93% fat - 100g each, mind you.
Other products we have not yet prepared. I therefore believe that this review continue to date.
Often in reviews, the noise level is criticized. I can not find it too noisy (obviously subjective). One can also quite normal entertained during the Actifry is in operation. You may compare the sound with a heat gun.
So up to this point: strong buy recommendation.
