Bad Manners and Brimstone

We bought the t-Fal actifry when it was on sale at costco.  We actually bought it halfsies with our neighbors and it mostly lives at their house.  It can make enough fries for 4 big eaters, but the rotating arm breaks some of the longer fries when they're thawing out.  I haven't tried it with fresh cut fries.   

I've jammed 8 drumsticks in there (probably over crowding them, but whatever...!) and they came out crispy and delicious. 

Pros:

The major pro for me is that I can cook a decent amount of food in there without heating up my whole kitchen by using the big oven.  Clean up is easy, because the whole food cooking area comes out, and you can rinse it in the sink (I've never cooked things in there that required a lot of scrubbing).


Cons:

The con is that I can't cook for more than 4 people in it.  It takes about 40 minutes for the fries to cook, and same for other cuts of meat. I sometimes feel like there's a lot of dead space that should be filled with food, but I know that's to let the hot air circulate. There are even bigger t-Fal models, that allow you to cook two things at once, which might be more useful.

It takes up a lot of shelf space, which one might not have available.
