Common questions about this product, answered.
How is the Tefal Actifry different from a normal basket air fryer?
The Actifry is not a static-basket air fryer. Food sits in a wide, low non-stick pan and a motorised stirring paddle slowly turns and mixes it while hot air circulates, so everything cooks evenly without you shaking a basket. Tefal's design means most foods need just one tablespoon of oil (some need none). The trade-off versus tall basket fryers: it's a single shallow layer, better for chips, veg and stir-style dishes than stacking lots of items. — PriceJive
Do I need to add oil, and how much?
Yes, but very little. The Actifry is built to fry with roughly one tablespoon of oil for a full batch, and many recipes use none at all. The paddle keeps stirring so that single spoon coats everything evenly instead of pooling, which is how it crisps chips and veg on so little fat. That makes it far lower-oil than a deep fryer while still browning food, and the small amount of oil added is part of normal use, not optional seasoning. — PriceJive
How many people does it feed, and is it big enough for a family?
It depends on the model. Standard Actifry models hold about 1kg of food, the Actifry Family steps up to 1.5kg, and the larger Genius XL holds 1.7kg and is rated by Tefal for mains for up to 5 people (sides for up to 8). Because food cooks in one stirred layer rather than stacked baskets, capacity is quoted by food weight, not litres of basket. Check the exact model name on this listing to confirm which size you're buying. — PriceJive
Do I need to preheat it, and are the parts dishwasher safe?
No preheating needed. You add the food, set the timer and start, the automatic paddle handles even cooking from cold, so frozen chips simply run for their full time (reviewers report roughly 30-40 minutes for a full batch of frozen chips). For cleaning, Tefal states the removable pan, lid, paddle and filter come apart and are dishwasher safe, though it advises putting the lid on the top (cooler) rack on a lower setting rather than the bottom. So the parts that touch food can go in the dishwasher instead of being hand-scrubbed. — PriceJive
