Having already owned an air fryer, I was interested to see the extra capabilities of this multi cooker. The air fryer worked as expected, but I particularly liked the paddle which ensured the fries were evenly cooked. The steamer function made easy work of a salmon fillet, veg and potatoes- all done in one appliance which was great. I cooked a risotto in 20 mins which was moist and it was great not to have to stand over it! I haven’t used any of the other findings - there are so many - but I definitely loved what I’ve done so far and this will be a permanent addition to my kitchen.
Absolutely love this item. Surprised how big it is and works very well on all settings. Definitely recommended to purchase the item. Young adults in the household found it easy to operate also.
I've been using the Tefal Multicook & Actifry for a couple of weeks, and it has completely changed my cooking routine! It's incredibly easy to use and speeds up meal prep, saving me loads of time. The single tray and steaming basket are perfect for making healthy meals without the fuss. Whether I’m steaming veggies or air frying, it delivers great results every time. Highly recommended for anyone wanting quick, tasty meals with minimal effort!

Fantastic!
This has become a very loved product in our household, it is very compact and versatile in comparison to other airfryers.
It has allowed us to explore new recipes with ease , we've throughly enjoyed making and perfecting bread.
The only issues we had with this product is the lid needs to be closed softly in order to lock so that was confusing initially also the removable shelf inside would be great it I'd was more sturdy
I was very excited to receive this product for review, but unfortunately it did not fully live up to my expectations.
Opening the box it seemed quite bulky but it does have a fairly decent capacity. When placed on my counter and I moved it the silly little rubber feet kept coming out. I think the lid itself could have a more substantial opening mechanism rather than just flopping about, it feels like it could just fall back onto your hands at anytime it’s open.
Lack of instructions, it’s hardly a plug and play machine. So many options but no explanation of how to use them or what to do. A week or even 2 is not long enough to fully test this machine with so many options. The recipes were helpful and did come out quite good, but with no understanding of all the functions it was difficult to navigate my own types of recipes and food to cook. I have started to get used to it and it is a good machine overall, the stirring paddle is a great idea and very handy!

Tefal Multicook Actifry
I have never had a multicooker before so was excited to try this product. It took a little bit of figuring out, for me I think the instructions could have been clearer and a few more recipes would have been welcome. However now I am getting the hang of it I am loving it. I save so much time using this, I can pop it on and go away and do other stuff knowing this little beauty is doing all the hard work for me. So far I have made chilli, stir fry and crispy potatoes and they have all been excellent !
As a busy working mum I look for something that will make my life easier. Simple things such as cooking pasta can be difficult as I get distracted by mini people. However, this cooker took that job away! I didn’t have to watch what I was cooking as it does it for you. The multi cooker can also cook different foods at the same time meaning that I only needed to use this once and our dinner was done. I did also test it out to see how easy it was to use for someone who doesn’t cook, and so I let my husband make dinner. He loved that also, it was effortless and he could use the recipes and guides in the book and app to help! Brilliant product, it now sits proudly in my kitchen.
Slightly overwhelmed when this arrived as it does A LOT!
But read the instructions&got the Tefal App&was excited to test it.
The display is big, bright&intuitive to use. Soon felt confident making our usual meals.I cook from scratch most days for 5 adults&was the perfect size for doing this.
‘Keep warm’ feature is useful as we all arrive home from work at different times.
Favourite feature- continuous stir. No more messy splashes, shaking frozen fries throughout cooking or burnt pan bottoms!
Was easy to clean.
Tefal App-is key to its full potential. Clear, step by step, foolproof instructions, change recipe portion size to 2,4 or 6. Enter an ingredient&will suggest great recipes. Tasty&healthy one pot meal ideas. Made crispy salmon and steamed rice&veg in one pot.
Versatile-Can easily replace a steamer/slow cooker/air fryer/grill/pan/soup maker.
We baked cake,brownies& shortbread(used small round tin)The dehydrator&yogurt maker are an added bonus that we’ll now try out
This air fryer is a fantastic and versatile piece of kit that combines an air fryer and multi-cooker in one. It’s perfect for making healthy meals with minimal/no oil, and stirring paddle is such a great feature for keeping things going! The wide range of cooking options—from frying and steaming to slow cooking—makes it incredibly convenient for preparing a variety of dishes. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and the non-stick bowl and dishwasher-safe parts make cleanup simple. Overall, it is definitely something I would recommend and I will definitely continue to use it.
This is a machine to rival the Ninja speedi with even more options including risotto, bread, yoghurt, more combinations of 'speedi meals' and with a larger 6L capacity. Sounds great but unfortunately I found that my machine didn't function properly. The lid didn't lock properly and the stir feature didn't work at all (very disappointing on my trial of oven chips which had the usual uneven cooking problems) Tefal customer services were no use at all, despite trying on three separate occasions to contact them. The courgette cake I tried on steam bake was not cooked in the middle (the outside was delicious, so with a bit more playing around/a fully functioning machine I may have got there). The steam meal worked well for pasta and sauce on the bottom level with veggies on the top rack and my soda bread was a big hit with the family
I would have liked to test with a machine that was fully functional but overall I would say it's definitely got potential.

Tefal multicook
Absolutely brilliant for single/couple/small family.
Easy to use. Cooks items great. Chips come out perfect for me crispy on the outside and fluffy inside
The TEFAL Multicook ActiFry is an incredibly convenient kitchen device. In addition to functioning as a regular multicooker, it also features an air fry option, which makes it even more versatile. The variety of dishes I can prepare has significantly expanded, and I'm thrilled with the results! It's a great addition to any kitchen.
Touch screen is very light to touch, I enjoyed that I was able to steam using this and it steamed my dim sum well. Large space inside and easy to use, air fried my chips well too. Being able to use 1 device for multi functions is helpful
Great multi range cooker , can even fit a whole chicken in . Very easy to use and cooks to perfection.
Also steams so can pretty much use this device for all areas of cooking .
Only negative to give would be on opening you need to be careful as the steam goes up and it's hot, but after more use you become aware of this .
Overall excellent product would definitely recommend.
Versatility:
The Tefal Multicook & Actifry is incredibly versatile, allowing you to prepare a wide range of dishes, from frying and roasting to steaming and baking. This multi-functionality saves time and space in the kitchen.
Healthier Cooking:
The Actifry technology uses significantly less oil compared to traditional frying methods, making it a healthier option for cooking crispy meals without compromising on taste.
Ease of Use:
The appliance features user-friendly controls and pre-set programs, which simplify the cooking process. The digital display is clear and easy to navigate.
Easy Cleaning:
Many parts are dishwasher-safe, and the non-stick surface reduces the need for scrubbing, making cleanup quick and hassle-free.
Consistent:
The even heat distribution ensures that food is cooked uniformly, resulting in consistently delicious meals every time.
The multicooker is a great size for a family of 4 and the dishes are prepared much faster than on the stove
