Good – Good quality, nice design, the rack option is very annoying to clean if you’ve cooked meat on it, but it cooks very good i could put nearly everything in there! It’s easy to use and the non stick coating has lasted a long time the heat thing on the top is not easy to clean but otherwise it’s good. Show details
My Everyday Cooker – I use this cooker almost everyday, put in potatoes for 12 minutes, then add meat & cook for 22 minutes. Veges in microwave and all ready to eat. I am a commercial cleaner, so often I don't have time to prepare meals, this is so easy. Been using it for 4 years. Purchased at BigW for $99. Show details
This is a great product, fantastic – I love the way this cooks, I love the way it turns the chips over. I love how I can take the arm out put chicken and veg in and bobs your uncle you have a baked dinner for two. It's easy to clean and store. I wish I knew where I can get another one just like my old one. It's red but green looks good. Every other store has the draw type I prefer the Prinetti hands down.
A satisfied customer – Easy to use and clean, does not need too much oil, and great result. Tried to make a sweet potato fries yesterday, only chopping and coat them with light olive oil spray, set for 20 minutes. Done. The result is better than if I left it in my oven. And the space it provides made a real difference. Highly recommended. Maybe the only cons would be the sound it makes when using the spinning for frying french fries.
Kuchef Dry Fryer very similar product. Faulty arm, maybe? – I bought my Kuchef dry fryer 4 days ago and have only cooked frozen chips. The only problem I've had so far is the arm which moves the chips turning them over does just that. However the arm also seems to catch the chips somehow breaking them up. I think it's the fault of the spring which holds the arm in place is no tight enough on the bottom… Read more
of the bowl. have undone
the arm assembly to make sure all is in place but doing it up tighter than when first unpacked.
This did fix the problem for the next cook.,but then the arm got loose again and started cutting up food.
So now I don't use the arm at all. Anyone had a similar experience.
Best Appliance We Have Ever Purchased – We have cooked frys , roast potatoes Chunky potatoes to perfection all of our friends want one but they are not easy to find. I noticed one comment only good for two people I don't know what they are doing we have cooked enough for 8 people. We would recommend to all great
Best appliance ever – I fry chips,nuggets,Chico rolls anything being fryed keep arm in, set time walk away. steak,snitzel,snags,chops even toasted sandwiches on rack ( low side) between 5-7mins each side. I have baked pumpkin chopped small use with arm in.i have found in most cases no oil is needed or use spray oil.
Prinetti Dry Fryer – We are enjoying fat free crispy chips and vegetables, Love watching them cook. Design could be more compact as too bulky on bench. So easy to use but remove rotator immediately and clean. My husband loves it and uses it so it must be easy. The bonus is you don't have all that deep fried food that adds to your Kilo's. I highly recommend this machine Easy to use Design too large
Best kitchen iten ever – I have been using the Prinetti air fryer for 18 months now and it is a fantastic piece of equipment. Easy to use. Easy to clean and the kitchen isn't splattered in oil and grease after use. The food cooked in this air fryer is sensational. Thoroughly cooked and is crispy as if cooked in fat. There is no bad after taste once you have eaten food… Read more
cooked in this product. If something happens to my air fryer I will be buying another one straight away.
June 19th 2016 Update:
Been using my air fryer now for three years and still going great. Excellent for cooking sausages as it makes the outer skin brown and tasty. If something happens to this piece of gear I will be straight out to get another. I have also given one to a friend who loves it. Ease of use. Cleaning is easy and food tastes better. Cheaper than other brands.
No more frozen chips and never deep fry again! – We were sick to death of "frozen oven" chips and our deep fryer was a real hassle with changing the oil and the smell of the oil throughout the house, so we bought this three weeks ago and are over the moon with the results. We now enjoy fresh crispy potato chips with only a spoonful of oil. Now I can have chips without having to worry about my… Read more · 1
cholesterol going through the roof. Very little oil, fantastic fresh crispy chips Can only make around 500g of chips at a time, but still plenty for 2 people.
Lasted a year – One year and three months and ours gave up the ghost.We were overseas and interstate for nearly 3 months in that time so it did work of the time of its warranty..Use was maybe 4 times a week. I thought it worked well, very well. It is not sophisticated but simply does its job reducing oil intake vastly. In managing longevity to just reach… Read more
warranty you would have to say the engineers have done a remarkable job.May even be a good job for their industry but it is unlikely to help their manufacturer with more purchases from me. Still there are a few others who have managed such amazing feats, eventually we may have no choice.
The problem in particular. The heating element stopped working. I will pull it apart and report here if anything looks particularly stupidly designed but I imagine it just couldn't take the heat. Worked once then an hour later didn't. The motor still goes. Did do a few foods well. Particularly chips. With children demanding chips this was a great oil-free way to satisfy that. Only (just) lasted the warranty
Fair – a reasonable product, digital display is a plus, manual somewhat lacking with reference to baking, and use of mixing arm, which in itself is a plus over other makes. modern appearance, easy to clean, in a nutshell best described as a small fan forced oven.Quiet operation . See through lid is a plus compared to others. NO THERMOSTAT which restricts type of food than can be cooked (appears all other makes have a thermostat )
Great Product – The Prinetti Dry Fryer is a healthy cooking option. Well worth it. Rotating arm moves food around for even cooking rather than food sitting on each other and cooking uneven. Food cooks evenly. Rotating arm can be a bit fiddly to dismantle for cleaning. Food can get jammed between rotating arm and centre spindle. Otherwise great product. Cooks… Read more
well. No left over oil to deal with. No coooking smells. Large footprint. Some food items get jammed in rotating arm.

I bought a second one because I really like it – This is second time buying a Prinetti 2.4litres dry Fry Healthy Fryer. I really liked it because it's cooks healthier. It only uses 1 spoonful of oil. When I make nugget's they come so crunch you pour the oil over around the nugget's and turn on the air fryer it does cook them in 12minutes if you leave longer they come crunch. I made spring rolls… Read more
they come so much better in the Dry Fry Healthy Fryer. My kids are older so the Air Fry Healthy Fryer is so handy for the hungry boy's it cooks so quicker than waiting for food cooking in the over. I like it because you only use 1 spoonful of oil and it's very healthier for you. Price was good.
A kitchen Godsend – The Prinetti Dry Fryer uses 1Tablespoon of oil, maximum and can be used without oil as well. It takes so much tome off cooking and there is very little cooking odour or heating up of the kitchen. I roast my Chicken drumsticks, potatoes and carrots in it and they turn out beautifully. I love the fact that I'm saving electricity and cooking… Read more
without added fat.
Clean up is easy; a wipe over of the clear lid and the rest in the dishwasher.
I can set the cooking timer and go for a walk, when I return, one beautifully cooked meal. Highly recommended. Quick cooking time. Energy efficient. A bit large.
Excellent value healthy fryer! – The Prinetti DriFry Healthy Fryer is great value for money. A third of the price of the main brands but does just as good a job. Excellent product! The only negative was that it didn't come with any receipe books. Luckily the other brands have receipes and ideas you can download from their websites. Value for money No receipe books included
Puzzled – I purchased the air fryer and honestly what does it do. It has an arm that pushes all the chips into a bunch so you are constantly stirring to spread them out. The chops are the same. They all pile up behind the moving arm. Perhaps i can disconnect the arm. Show 3 replies
A 'deep fryer' that works – Bought the Prinetti DriFry Healthy Fryer and have a chance to try it out a few times. Great to make snack 'fried' potatoes or for your meal - easy to use and clean up, also no smell of used cooking oil around. Home made crispy spring rolls with nothing added but what we wanted, easy in the fryer. Easy to use, setup and clean Limited to about 400 grams of produce so better suited to 2-3 people.
Mashed Chips? No Thanks – I bought this to decrease our fat intake. I have cooked 3 batches of chips in it and am not impressed. All different amounts put in and 90% of them came out mashed! Also have done baked potatoes in it. They were so-so and didnt appeal to me but the rest of the family liked them. Other reviews on another site were mostly positive but I am still experimenting. less fat to use takes long time to cook chips and they were mashed up.
