However, and this is the biggest criticism I have to many devices of this type is its cleaning. It is relatively difficult to go and wipe completely remove vegetable remnants stuck in the blades. A plastic comb sort is provided, but it's still hard and long to go for the tomato skin nestled between the cutting blades.
So overall, I would give 5 stars for the functioning and overall quality of the device, but I take a star for cleaning.

I recently bought the Actifry, and really, this product has become the essential accessory that goes with it. The cut fries blade is ideal for fried perfectly, especially with the Actifry roasting, so if fried too thin, it may simply be carbonized.
And I filled the freshly cut fries pan, and while maintaining top up, I fill the water tank to wash, bathe and let the chips in water to remove as much starch. And always with the top up, I empty the water after 5 minutes in the sink, and no fried escaping. Basically, this system prevents me from having anything else to wash more!
