It rejects the transaction before I get to payment details.

I have never been able to get anything other than books and media delivered to Australia from Amazon UK.

What does it do? How long is a piece of strong. It weighs, measures, grinds, chops, kneads, stirs, cooks, pulses. However, I was always a good cook and this has just made it a little easier. I now make all my own bread. I grind my own wheat, rye, barley, rice flour, chickpea flour, raw sugar to caster to icing sugar (no need for loads of different sugars in the cupboard.

it is fantastic for making curry pastes and you can make small or large amounts depending on how much you want - not so much waste and you know all the ingredients in it without using preservatives.

The list goes on and one. I convert many of my favourite recipes to the TM but this comes with time and experience.

One caveat - if you hate cooking then it is not going to make you a gourmet but it might make prepping meals easier and quicker.

The price new is $1,999.00

BTW it is small (good looking) and easily fits on the countertop without having to be put away after use.

I still use my cooker and slow cooker but that is about it.

It let me use my AU address.

All that was left was to click the place order button.

We went through 2 Actifrys in 1 1/2 years.

First one - the plastic bit of the filter broke within a month of purchase. We were able to get a new one as it was under warranty.

Second one - a bit of the paddle broke a few months later but the unit was still okay to use. A few months after that the bit holding the lid down chipped. It was still okay to use when we put something on top of the lid to hold it down. A couple of months after that, it started to smell of burned plastic. Got chucked out.

Now we have a Philips hot air fryer. Again, it's quite plastic. It's been a few months now and okay so far. If and when it breaks, I might look at a German Pool one which my dad swears by.

Maybe linked to a problem highlighted by Watchdog a few years ago?

Interesting this delivery disparity. I wonder why some people can get Electric items and others cant. Even the Amazon Site says only books music and DVDs apply

Tis a sure fire way to make at least 60 bucks on Ebay.AU if anyone besides Jen can get one landed at the Amazon price. 33pct return on your money !

Edit Massive thread on the amazon free delivery on Whirlpool... seems no one on there can get electrics either.

Thanks for the link, roaringmouse.

Wish we had found that report when we were researching Actifry two years ago! Most comments we found (1st page of google) were positive... In some way I feel lucky that we only got burnt plastic smell, not something more serious.

I hope everyone reads the Watchdog report before they rush out to the shops or order online.

If any of you mates need a German translation for ordering on amazon.de just send me a message

BTW: When you order on amazon.de no matter where you live you fall under German customer rights...which sometimes comes in quite handy.

Those were the older models, they've since made improvements...

Mrs Unhealthy here. I like my chips deep fat fried. Have never had a decent crispy but fluffy chip from the oven, ever. Not trying it ever again, they're feral.

I just tried to order a cat comb from Amazon.com. They won't deliver it here. It's barking. It's a fricking comb. Not impressed. A very very kind US BEer is taking delivery for me and posting it on.

I make ice cream, butter, jam, sorbet, smoothies with it.

An amazing machine.

I'm thinking that the Grey nomads will have to buy one for their motorhome when they get here... Then I can acquire it for OUR kitchen when they hang up their furry dice after their travels....

We hope to inherit the passion wagon too....

Well my actifry is in Kentucky, let's hope it's still in one piece lol
