Halo digital air fryer
Got this air fryer but was a bit sceptical at first as the last time I had an air fryer it left my food really dry. I’ve been using an acti fry for years and haven’t really looked at getting an air fryer. This one has put brought my faith back into air fryers. Dosent leave the food dry at all it leaves it with a juicy taste or if you are doing hash browns it leaves them nice and crispy. I done a whole chicken in this air fryer and it cooked it to perfection and was still juicy. The air fryer has cut the time needed to cook things and is quicker than an actual fry by far. Would defiantly recommend this air fryer to anyone and everyone.

Halo air fryer
I’ve been looking for a healthy fryer for ages when I saw this one and it was exactly what I was looking for. It’s got great features - 5.5L capacity and uses less oil than the standard size fryer; you can fry, grill sauté and more; comes with a basket divider so you can cook various items together; sounds when you’re food is ready; basket and divider are dishwasher safe. I tried this out by making chips and they came out perfectly, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, delicious! I’m really happy with my purchase

I love this and you will too!
I had never seen or used an Air Fryer before so I was a little skeptical when first trying. No need for that, it seriously delivers.
It’s hard to say what’s better, the cooking time or the food - both are impressive. There is no need to pre-warm the device, you put your food in cold and away it goes - reaching 200c in just minutes.
Chips come out really crispy, only needing one or two turns, by preference. And we tried the Salmon setting to find it replaced our need to grill fish ever again, so delicately cooked and yet full of flavour!
Love this product and would highly recommend it!

Good air fryer
I've had this for a year now, and use it at least 4-5 times a week. I've listed below 3 pro's and 3 cons to try and give the most honest and balanced feedback possible.
Overall, despite its issues, I still give this a solid 4 stars with room for improvement.
PROS
1. I love the modern shape and design.
2. It cooks extremely well, and has a good range of settings to choose from.
3. It is so easy to use and clean.
CONS
1. It can kick out a fair bit of grease from the rear vent. A filter to catch it would be a huge design improvement.
2. There has been some warping and bulging of the side and rear along edges.
3. The electronics can be sensitive and play up if what you are cooking creates steam.

Runnish
We’ve had two of these in the last year. First one lasted six months before it developed a fault. After a bit of to-and-fro with Breville customer service, they agreed to a replacement. Seven months later the replacement has developed the same fault. The control panel glitches out, the timer changes of its own accord and then the whole control panel becomes unresponsive. You have to cycle through on-off several times before it will start working again. We are giving up this time and buying a Ninja. Such a shame as I have had Breville air fryers for 12+ years and have always loved them, but this model is dire. It’s great when it works, but just doesn’t work for long enough.

Absolute game changer!!!
So we received this air fryer on a Tuesday morning while both working from home and immediately tried making some chips (as you do), and I was blown away by how good this is, and how fast!!!! Absolutely loving it and have been using this practically daily, sweetcorn in less than 10 mins, chips in 20 max, roast veg, roast chicken, even a whole brisket!!! You name it, this does it, well, AND fast. I highly recommend this!!

So easy to use!
I've got this air fryer a month ago and I have been using it every day since then. Frozen sausage rolls, fries, chicken, fish, steak pie - everything came out perfect. Even to warm up left over pizza. Sausages and bacon always perfectly cook and crispy!
The size of it is pretty much for 2 meals.
I used the oven before for any food - but using this air fryer is a huge improvement.
Times for cooking are according to each time of food - there is the control panel - for fries, chicken, vegetables, meat, fish and manual.
Of course, times of cooking may vary depending of the quantity but I easily open, take a look and shake it. Maybe some people might enjoy chicken very well done, some others not. I never used yet the basket divider.
At first, I have been reading the manual which gives some info about how to use it. But then, i just adjust to my needs. For example I start the fries and after about 11 minutes, i add the bacon so they will both be ready at the same time.
All the grease will drop at the bottom of the drawer so any excess will go to waste.
The food isn't getting stick to the fryer basket. I didn't add any oil so far.
Washing the fryer basket and the air basket drawer is quite easy. Usually I pour water into and let them soak 30 minutes and then it's easy to remove any residue.
Overall, it's an excellent air fryer - the first one I ever had, but I'm definitely happy with it! Highly recommended!

Amazing Fryer
This is an amazing fryer and it makes cooking a super easy task.
I was really excited when I got this fryer and it didn't disappoint me. The machine has a digital panel with preset buttons to cook things like frozen chips, meat, poultry, veggies or fish. You can also use the manual button and adjust the cooking to your needs.
First thing I tried was roasted veggies with Salmon. The fryer comes with a basket divider and I used this to cook the veggies and salmon separately. First I cooked the veggies and later added the salmon. Everything was cooked easily and it was not dry at all. I also roasted a whole chicken in just one hour. The skin was crispy and the meat juicy.
Regarding cons, I only found a couple. First - The machine is massive and it takes a lot of counter space in the kitchen. I guess the size is like this because the basket is also big but it allows you to cook a lot of food at once.
Second - Only the basket and divider are safe to wash in dishwasher but not the drawer. The instructions also mention no to submerge the drawer in water and to only use warm soppy water with a cloth. When you cook a whole chicken or other things, it might be tricky to clean the drawer as it gets full of grease after cooking. This is not a problem now as the fryer is new but I can see this been an issue in the future when the Teflon covering the drawer gets old.
Besides these small inconveniences, this is a great product!
