had mine for 2 months and love it.. and i love the chips.. i use fry lights , put in 2 spoons of it if i am feeling really naughty, with a pinch of salt .... gorgeous .. and so easy! dont bother to peel the spuds, just whack them all in, press start, come back in 40 mins! elish! wish i hadnt hummed and harrred for nearly a year before buying one.. only reason i didnt was cuase my mum said she had read poor reviews... and b#gger me.. if SHE didnt go out and get one a week after she had seen mine and eaten the chips from it!
