Andrew James Halogen Oven Cooker 12l – 17l 1400W | Glass Air Fryer with Turbo Wash and Included Accessories | Halogen Oven Cooker with Extender Ring & Replacement bulb (WHITE)

Bought in May 2017 and haven't used the main cooker since. Economical and efficient. Best results and less cleaning with roasting bags. Cooks a 3.5 lb chicken in 1 hour. Fatless chips are great sprinkled with a little spray oil and Knorr Aromat. I am 88 and can change a bulb and thermostat with few tools. Reviews favour air fryers but I don't plan to switch.

Love this machine. I had always had jml but they where out of stock so did a lot of research into other brands. This is good quality comes with extras. Had no issues with it. Haven’t had to change the halogen bulb yet so don’t know how easy it is to do that. Good product. Looks good and works well. The little black dials can be hard to see that’s the only downside side. Very easy to use so you don’t have to keep running to instruction book.

I bought this almost 1 year ago but was not prompted by Amazon then (usually 1 month after purchase) for a review as normally occurs. Having just seen the "Write your own review" button, here it is!I stumbled across this by accident as I was searching for a replacement for a conventional mini-oven. Up until then I was completely ignorant about Halogen cookers, but after further reading decided to try it out. And I haven't been disappointed! This cooks stuff beautifully and in about half the time that my conventional oven used to take. Better yet, it doesn't dry out the food like the conventional oven used to either - for example, I used to despair when trying to cook fish & chips together, the fish was generally undercooked whereas the chips ended up dried-out, brittle and tasteless! With the halogen cooker the excess moisture collects at the bottom of the bowl, instead of being blown out the back like my little oven used to do. Actually, when you remove the top of the halogen cooker when cooking has completed you are greeted by a blast of steam - so practically all the excess water remains in the bowl! In fact, you will periodically need to empty the water that collects there, presuming of course you don't usually cook 'messy' meals that require the bowl to be cleaned each time!The only criticism I have concerns the quality of the 'stainless-steel' used in the supplied tray-rack that you would use for grilling etc. - with its legs standing in the water that collects on the bowl-bottom, they quickly start to rust. Emptying the excess water each time it's used is the obvious solution of course!Summing up, this I would rate as my best kitchen appliance purchase to date! I use this far more frequently that I did the conventional cooker or the microwave (which I scrapped on safety-grounds - people really should read up on the health implications of eating food cooked in these!) - and it cooks the food far better than anything else I've tried. Plus as I write this, the current asking price is just £39.95 - I payed £59.95 if memory serves! - and this includes all the usual accessories (which I got) PLUS A SPARE REPLACEMENT TUBE! (which I didn't get!) So it strikes me as a real bargain!Update: 3 - 4 years after buying this and with almost daily use, the halogen heating element has finally blown. Fair enough. I open it up to make sure that's what it was only to find that this heating element was never meant to be replaced - this version was meant to be a throw-away item once the halogen bulb blew! Frankly, that makes me angry! I had seen elements for sale on Ebay over the years which after removing a few screws, could be just plugged in - as it should be! - and had presumed that this was standard practice - which it should have been! And it may be now, given that Andrew James now provides a spare bulb with the cooker - but it wasn't then! It's still replaceable, but only for the technically competent. Had I known then what I know now, I never would have bought this.Great concept let down by a shoddy design where the customer was set up to be screwed financially. Gone from 5 to 2-stars.Update:The above hissy-fit was unjustified - I ended up ordering the element after all, and although nowhere as easy to install as in the current models, it's not rocket-science either! Suffice it to say that it's back in operation again and warrants 4-stars.

Bought this as a replacement for an earlier model, thinking somewhat naively, that it would be an improvement. BIG MISTAKE. It still occupies the same "footprint" area as the previous model, but with one major difference. The lid is no longer hinged, or can be raised, in order to accomodate the large ring, but instead, must be removed to gain access to the cooked food. This means that a larger area is needed around the unit, to place the lid in the holder, without catching the power cable, which is not always easy.Further, the dialling of both temperature and timer is much less accurate than a digital version, and the temperature does not reset at the end of the cooking cycle.In all honesty, I wish that I had not bought it.
