Hello All, I am keen to try one of these 'healthy air frying' machines before I outlay over AED900 and I wonder if there is anyone out there who has one and would be willing to show me how it works? I know this sounds very cheeky, but it's a big outlay so I am very interested in comments/ opinions or even to borrow one to try. thanks in advance.

I recently purchased the Airfryer from Carrefour - its on offer there for 699 with 100 aed coupon. It is also on offer at Lulu's. The actifry is on offer at carrefour also. It is brilliant and I love it. I have done fried chicken in there with and i sprikle it with a little oil and it is lovely just like fried chicken. With the same meal after the chicken I have out frozen chios in and it takes between 15-20mins. Depends how brown you want it. I have also tried fish, samoosa, spring rolls and it turned out good. My one complaint would be the grill like bottom, can be frustrating to keep cleaning esp wheb using wet ingredients. They have a pan that can go in the airfryer and I looked for it on ebayUK and it was touching 240Aed!!

Hi, what sort of foods do you cook in it and does it make for a family? How long in advance do you need to cook say chips before you it's ready to go with a meal of sausages or chicken - which I assume you would cook separately in a pan?

We've had the Phillips for a week and love it! We also did some housesitting over the break for another family with a Phillips and used theirs almost every day. Enjoy!
