Which Should You Buy?

Tefal Easy Fry 3-in-1 FW2028

We found the FW2028 genuinely useful for people who want steaming alongside air frying. Steamed broccoli came out tender in about 12 minutes, while fries crisped up in 15 minutes at 200C in the same machine. The grill plate is the same quality as the EZ505 model. At 130 EUR, it costs more than a basic air fryer, but less than buying an air fryer and a steamer separately. The 4.2 L capacity works for 2 to 3 people, not more.

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.
