Breville's 'easy-to-clean' air fryer has been reduced by 40% on Amazon, offering a significant saving for those looking to upgrade their cooking setup. The Breville Halo Flexi Air Fryer & Large Mesh Tray is now priced at £129.99, down from its original £215.99 retail price. This popular appliance features an XL 11-litre cooking compartment that can be split into two 5.5-litre zones, making it ideal for families who need to prepare different meals simultaneously.
Key Features and Benefits
The large mesh cooking tray is designed for batch cooking larger portions of chips, vegetables, and other foods. The appliance includes a Sync function, allowing two different foods to be cooked using separate settings while finishing at the same time. A Match function is also included, enabling both zones to cook at the same temperature and for the same duration. The 360-degree air circulation system uses 99.5% less oil than standard 3-litre Breville fryers, promoting healthier cooking with crispy results.
Breville claims that users can save up to £65 a year on energy bills compared to traditional ovens, although this claim has not been independently verified. The air fryer includes 10 cooking presets for foods such as chips, chicken, vegetables, and steak. With one appliance and eight accessories, users can air fry, turbo crisp, bake, grill, roast, and reheat meals.
Customer Reviews
The Breville Halo Flexi currently holds a 4.6-star rating from 1,064 reviews on Amazon. One satisfied customer wrote: 'The options of use for this air fryer are so good and varied. Air fry, oven, grill etc. Importantly, it's easy to clean.' Another praised its speed: 'The Breville Halo Flexi has outperformed the two air fryers we’ve owned previously, chiefly because it cooks markedly faster.'
However, some users reported issues. One reviewer noted: 'This lasted around 14 months. It was not that brilliant or that much better than a normal oven.' Another complained about the controls: 'As an air fryer, I have no complaints, but the unit is let down by a poor touch button panel.'
