Chefman Hi-Fry 3.8 L: what works and what doesn't?
What works well
- 235 °C boost: In the last 2 minutes the heat rises to 235 °C, noticeably crispier chips and chicken pieces than with pure 200 °C appliances
- Shake alert: A beep halfway through the cooking time reminds you to turn the food so that everything gets evenly crisp
- 2 to 4 portions: The 3.8 L basket suits couples and small families but stays slim on the worktop
- Touchscreen with presets: Time and temperature freely adjustable or four programmes at the push of a button
Points of criticism
- No documented consumption: The manufacturer gives no wattage figure, so the exact power consumption remains open
- Only 4 programmes: Four presets are functional but fewer than on appliances with 8 to 13 programmes in a similar price range
