One said: “I paid £149 for mine and it’s brilliant. You can cook multiple items at once and the light means that you can see things cooking.”
Another said: “I have purchased several of these all for family and they are great.
“Easy clean removable door. There is actually a twin version of this fryer if you have a bigger family.”
A third added: “We had the 2-in-1 and it was very noisy. This is lovely and quiet.”

You can use it to cook everything from roast potatoes to fish, and even to dehydrate fruit snacks.
Remember to always shop around when buying something as expensive as this though.

Just because Amazon is selling it with 46% off that doesn’t mean you can’t get the same model cheaper elsewhere, or for a similar price.
You might be able to get a similar-style device for less too.

Are air fryers cheaper than ovens?
Air fryers have surged in popularity since energy bills soared as they can be cheaper to use than an oven.
That said, that’s not always the case, and it does depend on the model.
In fact, money-saving expert Martin Lewis issued a warning that it’s not always cheaper to use the gadgets.
If you are weighing up whether to buy an air fryer, you can use a simple formula to figure out how much it costs.
Cost = power (in kWh) × time (in hours) × price of 1 kilowatt on your energy tariff.
So, if for example, you have an air fryer that consumes 2,000 watts, you are using it for one hour and the cost of electricity is priced at 34p per 1,000 watts, the formula would be:
2 x 1 x 34p = 68p
The six litre Studio air fryer has 2,000 watt power.
So the formula to work out how much that costs to use for an hour is:
2 x 1 x 34p = 68p
You can use the same formula with any appliance, so you can do this with your oven and work out the difference in price.
For example, a normal oven uses between 900 and 3,500 watts of power.
So if you bought one on the lower-end of the power scale, it would actually be cheaper to use that than the Tefal fryer.
That said, sometimes it’s easier and more convenient to cook something quicker in the air fryer, and use less oil making them a healthier option.
