T-Fal - Actifry FZ7002

Sure. For context, my first air fryer was the **Tefal Actifry**. It had a rotating paddle, which was great for small items that benefit from movement (Brussels sprouts, fries, courgette), but not so great for pizza or burritos because of the protruding attachment in the middle. Still, we used it for almost 10 years, and apart from the shape, it worked really well. My next model was a **Tefal mini-oven–style air fryer**. It wasn’t very sturdy, but it did a good job overall. Its main drawback was small items, as you couldn’t really shake the tray. After a lot of research, I decided to go with a more traditional **drawer-style air fryer**. The **Cosori TurboBlaze** looks nice, but: * The tray has gaps that are so large that small pieces (bits of Brussels sprouts, fries, courgette) fall through — easily around 1/5 of a batch. Once food falls through those gaps, it’s basically impossible to retrieve it. * When the unit is hot, it’s almost impossible to remove the tray safely (so the mentioned 1/5 of the batch goes to waste). * For larger items (e.g. a portion of lasagne), it runs too hot from the top. * Lowering the fan speed helps a bit, but reheating dishes like lasagne or moussaka still isn’t great. * For pizza or burritos, I have to lower the fan to level 3 (out of 5) to get acceptable results, and even then it takes much longer than with my previous air fryers — and still comes out overly crisp. I like crispy pizza, but not “could break a window” crispy. * If I shorten the time and keep the fan higher, the top burns while the bottom (especially on burritos) stays underdone. Of course, there’s always a learning curve, and we’re still getting to know each other. That said, my previous air fryers didn’t require this much trial and error — they mostly just worked, within their limitations. A lot also depends on what kind of food you cook and how experienced you are with air fryers. Cleaning is another downside. Both of my previous air fryers were much easier to clean. The Actifry barely required cleaning at all — pizza and burritos needed none, fries usually just a paper-towel wipe. The mini oven had a metal sieve tray and a drip tray underneath, both of which fit easily in the dishwasher (about the space of two plates). With the TurboBlaze, there’s a single flat tray, but the entire drawer underneath needs to be washed after every use — even when using parchment paper underneath the tray. On the plus side, the TurboBlaze works very quietly, and even the beeps are pleasantly subdued. Overall, not a great purchase for me.

I bought my first air fryer in 2012. It was Tefal with the mixing paddle. It lasted me 10 years. Now I have another (different shape). I use it every day. Burritos (homemade - like them crunchy a bit), fish fingers, salmon, cod, zucchini, chicken wings, whole mackerel. Rarely frozen fries, but it is great for those. I use it 9 out of 10 days. Great for breakfast too (mostly on the weekend). It helps with many diners. It prepares many dinners. It is healthier (great) but most of all it makes things crunchy, makes thing fast and makes thing delicious! We are a family of 3 (2 adults and a kid). And do not get me start on re-heating pizza!!! Delicate stuff (Italian thin pizza with delicate toppings you need to be watchful) but stuff like Dominos or Pizza Hut - nothing make is as good as air fryer even 2 days after delivery!

I started with a T-Fal that mixes as it cooks but have upgraded to a Ninja 2 compartment. I use it for anything you would deep fry and cooking veggies, just add some spices and let their own moisture do the work. Reheat pizza and other leftovers too. I like to cook ribs or wings most of the way in it then finish on the BBQ.

i have both. the dedicated t-fal air frier does its job best. the rest its better in the e-grill

Mier sind sehr zfriede mit de Tefal Actifry Family (die rund). 1 EL Öl langt für [absolut crossi Fries](https://www.reddit.com/r/EuropeEats/comments/1n3vpub/pork_tenderloin_medallions_with_airfried_homemade/).

T-fal has a version of it [https://www.t-fal.ca/en/multicook-actifry.html](https://www.t-fal.ca/en/multicook-actifry.html)

I'm not sure why - I'm terrible at getting stuff to work on Reddit (but it works for me?) anyway, it's the t-fal actifry

I had one, and you're correct. Fries were good, but anything that could "squish" did. my tater tots were tater bits lol

Imam Tefal Af. Kako kuhaš jaja. Mekano i tvrdo.

I have a T-Fal single basket and it's great. Can cook so many different things, potatoes and other vegetables, fish, shrimp, meats, reheating pizza and toasting bagels.

A paid 80. A few years ago for a T-fal that did a lot less.

I bought one from Costco that somehow just didn't work. Everything came out soggy. I have no idea how they accomplished this. I went back to my trusty T-Fal. The worst thing about the Costco beast was that it haunted. It would wake up and start making noises like someone was mashing the keypad. It woke me up half a dozen times (it was probably a defective keypad. I rarely use the Costco return policy, but this time I did.
