When I first received the product I was so excited to try it, it looks great, albeit a bit big and had so many functions that my other air fryer just didn’t have, however, after the first go, I was left a little disappointed.
First of all, if you have kitchen cabinets all around your kitchen, above the work bench, this is too big and as it opens up over, I had to keep moving it to get inside. With the upover opening as well, I found it a little dangerous as after it had been on and I went to open the lid, despite me being quick the steam released and I ended up burning my arm, but this could be more lack of space.
I found the machine overall quite confusing to use, there are maybe too many functions. The time it gives you to select a function is very short and it turns off quite quickly.
I do like the fact it has a spinning arm to turn everything and the air fryer function did cook well.
Overall, the machine was ok and if you have space, might be great.
I sent in my review weeks ago. I've reached out to you 4 times after my review through my accountant on Instagram, and l still haven't received a response from you. I done videos and posted a 1000 word positive review about the product and sent pictures and still no response to many questions that I had . I've contacted the company of the product and they told me to contact you.
To put me on a blacklist for an error on yourside is not professional conduct.
Please find a copy of my review on my Facebook profile 'Pat Arnold' . Please can you please telephone me or email ASAP.
Kind regards, Pat Arnold
After a few weeks of testing of the actifry, most of the experience was good. It's good sizes, and able to cook in a short time whenever needed for some simple quick meals and it is quite easy to clean afterwards. It also looks good on the countertop. However, there are a few things I wasn't very impressed with. I found that it's a bit tricky to take out the bottom part of food if I cook for 2 dishes at the same time. The touch panel is easy to use but the sensitivity is a little slow response and I cannot add extra time half way and I need to stop and restart again which I feel is a little annoying sometimes. For a heavy user of multicooker and air fryer in daily routine. I would prefer more if it's square and rectangularly shaped as the fewer interlocking pieces will be much easier and convenient to take the hot food out from the cooker.

Top marks for Tefal Multicook Actifry
I was sent the Tefal Multicook Actifry to test and provide a review. Wow! I love it!
I've had a couple of air fryers before but this one gets top marks from me.
It has so many great functions in addition to being a regular air fryer and I am working my way through all the programs. I love the pasta and risotto programs and my family agreed I made my best risotto ever. And it was so easy! It's great to have the two additional levels above the base (with the paddle for stirring if needed)so you can cook a whole meal of your carbs, protein and veggies all in one.
As someone with a chronic illness that causes fatigue I need something that makes cooking quick and easy for me and this has really helped me to make nutritious meals with minimal effort.
The Tefal app that you can download has some good recipes to help you get started - but I think it could do with a few more specific to this model - but it did help me get going.
Overall, it's top marks from me - well done Tefal!
The nice black design is modern and fits well in any kitchen. It feels durable with user-friendly controls and a digital display that makes it easy to use.
I was impressed by its performance. It cooks food evenly, making crispy fries with little or no oil, provided it’s a single layer. The steaming basket cooks perfect vegetables. I can cook healthier versions of fried foods without sacrificing the taste. The appliance is straightforward, with quick preheating and a digital timer that signals when food is ready. It has made cooking more enjoyable. Cleaning is relatively easy, as the removable parts are dishwasher-safe. While some residue may cling to the bottom, it’s manageable with a quick hand wash. This appliance is highly versatile—excellent for frying, steaming, and even baking.
Pros, can cook lots of stuff at once, is super easy to clean, looks cute, super speedy, great at frying and steaming, trays cook evenly regardless of food placement, auto shut off once food is finished, has a cute jingle when it's done.
Cons, Giant, will be hard to fit under a counter, opens from the top so is really easy to get burnt, the slots in the trays can drip down to the next level, steam function is excessively steamy, have to remove everything to see what's in the bottom of the bowl when cooking things, pre programmed things have their own time systems which you don't know without looking at the booklet.
Overall it's a great unit to get you cooking fakeaways and large amounts of food quickly. Don't use for rice or change settings mid cook as both are terrible ideas. Rice burns and swapping settings leads to long waits. The reheat function works in reverse and counts up and not down. And be aware of the steam!
I like the multi cooker has a wide vareity of cooking options. Judging by the size I was pleasantly surprised that it was quite light in weight. Appliance was simple to put together shelves fitted in nice n snug, received a handy measuring cup n 2 plastic spoons.
Buttons are very easy to use, easy to set temperature plus cooking time.
I really like the sound cooker makes when it's finished cooking
As per my kids request I used the air fryer mode 1st to make some frozen fries
The air fryer mode is fairly quick (not too noisy) 8-12 minutes @ 170° depending on your crisp level preference
The crispy setting is nice my daughter made some cheesy bread sticks turned out golden n crispy
Reheat mode I didn't really like it took approx 30 minutes to reheat a couple slices of pizza
As I recieve this product just before Xmas haven't had as much time as I would of liked to test and review all the functions, but all in all would highly recommend this product
As a busy woking mum, I have been looking for something that will make my life easy. Tefal Multicook airfryer have a life changing product, its easy to cook features, time saving and take very less space on kitchen top. The trays top makes you cook multiple dishes at once. Non stick and the stirring paddles makes life more easy. Plus its dish washer safe!!! Its user friendly and made my work much easier.
Using this machine I find is an absolute game changer. Having owned numerous air fryers, slow/rice cookers and grills, I am seriously impressed with the results and also the space saved now I don’t need the other appliances. To get used to using the machine I found the included recipes and app extremely helpful (and tasty!).
I started with the Korean wings with sweet potato mash (from the app) - the results of cooking everything together exceeded expectations. The wings were beautifully cooked and crispy/juicy. The coating and juices from the wings then falling through the tray in to the sweet potato (being cooked using the stir function) adding more to the flavour with none of the goodness being lost. I’ve cooked beer battered cod that ended up perfectly light and flaky inside yet crispy on the outside, and made my first ever loaf to surprising perfection.
The tools included are great for fluffing rice/stirring/mashing, and the pot and layers are SO SO easy to remove and clean.

Perfect multi cooker.
We loved it. This multi cooker does everything from making bread, air frying, steaming even dehydrating. It is quite a big appliance but perfect for a family. It comes with two trays which stack, there is plenty of room to feed two people using the trays to cook items such as chips, veg, meat and anything you can think of. The cooker is very efficient and cooks items quickly. This would be perfect for a small family or even a single person. The instructions are very simple and the whole thing is so easy to use. I made my very first loaf of bread, and it came out perfect. I think I will try to dehydrate some fruit pieces next. After doing some testing the cooker is much cheaper than running the oven and I have started to use it more than the oven. So happy with this item it is now my main cooking appliance.
As a one machine does all this product is amazing and a great addition to any kitchen.
It is versatile and easy to clean, but I would prefer a few more recipes alongside the instructions; even though we downloaded the Tefal app as suggested, the recipes are still limited.
Would definitely recommend.
This is a great Actifryer, straight forward to use, but has some issues which take getting used to. When adjusting the settings it is really easy to press the wrong button, which resets the setting forcing you to start again, I guess over time you would get used to this but I find it time wasting. Also I have struggled to find any videos online to show how to make lots of dishes, a lot of videos I have found are for older models. There is a QR code on the box which says you can find recopies only, but the QR code takes you to a none existing website. I find the trays a little frustrating as they don't seem to stay where they should. However it seems to cook well, I have made boiled eggs, Chips (which tasted nice but not as good as frying) and chicken breast so far, but would love to find out how to make yoghurt and bread as there are options for these on the Actifryer. Anyway great device just lacking advice and support, which hopefully will improve over time.
This air fryer is a great addition to my kitchen. Helps to cook & feed my family of 3 very well. Love the stirring function. Had a fabulous risotto & saved my arm ache from the continuous stirring!!!

New to all this
It is amazing I haven't not used it since receiving it the features are easy to use as is the whole thing trust me if I can use it anyone can easy to clean and look great in my kitchen
It’s a great multi cooker and air fryer. It has so many programs to use. Large inside pot takes good amount of food to cook. Roast lamb and vegetables in slow cooker mode comes so delicious. Ekstra trays to divide inside is very useful.
