Tefal ActiFry Original FZ7128
We consider the ActiFry Original the product that started the healthy frying movement in France. After 15 years on the market, the FZ7128 still does one thing very well: it cooks 1 kg of fries with a single spoon of oil and stirs them automatically. We got golden, evenly cooked fries in about 35 minutes without touching the machine. The tradeoff is speed. Basket-style air fryers finish the same job in 18 to 22 minutes. If you value hands-off cooking and do not mind waiting a bit longer, this is a proven performer at 139 EUR.
Tefal Easy Fry Compact EY1458
We see the EY1458 as the right Tefal for students, couples, or anyone in a small apartment. At 70 EUR, it is cheaper than most Philips and Cosori models of similar size. The 3.5 L basket handles a single portion of fries in about 15 minutes at 200C, or two modest portions if you do not mind slightly less crispy edges from a fuller basket. The 1300W element is the weakest in the range, so expect cooking times to run 1 to 2 minutes longer than the 1400W or 1500W models. For the price, that is an acceptable tradeoff.
