We bought this partly out of curiosity, partly on recommendations, and we're happy with it!We've tried homemade and frozen roasties and chips, pasties, fish cakes, bacon and so on. The basket can cook enough for two. Readymade food comes out perfect e.g. oven chips come out super crisp and fluffy inside. Homemade dishes are a work in progress: I've tried potato and sweet potato chips (soaked in water, dried, lightly coated in oil and seasoning) and, while they were crisp on the ends, they were a tad chewy in the middle. Planning to try pasta chips next. We're still learning but it's interesting!The accompanying booklet includes a few recipes and a general cooking guide. We've mainly used guesswork; you can open the drawer and check how food is coming along at any point, give it a shake or turn it over etc. There are also hundreds of recipes and air fryer videos online for reference.All in all, we're glad we got it. The jury's out as to whether it's healthier as we've found that any products that usually need coating in oil still need it. It obviously depends what you cook! However, it's much quicker than the conventional oven (30-50% quicker/energy-saving as well?), it's easy to clean (just wipe the tray and clean the basket, which are non-stick), simple to use (set the temp, set the timer), and doesn't heat up the whole kitchen like the oven does (anticipating this as a plus in summer).
